3. Setup

3.1 Transmitter Battery Installation

1. Locate the battery compartment on the bottom of the WFLY X9 transmitter.
2. Open the battery compartment cover.
3. Insert either a 1S LiPo battery or four AA dry batteries, ensuring correct polarity.
4. Close the battery compartment cover securely.

Note: The transmitter supports a working voltage range of 3.5V to 6.0V.

3.2 Receiver Connection

1. Connect the RG206S receiver to your RC vehicle's electronic speed controller (ESC) and servos.
2. Ensure that the channels (CH1-CH6) on the receiver correspond to the correct functions (e.g., steering, throttle) on your vehicle.
3. If using GPS or external voltage detection, connect the respective modules to the 'GPS' and 'Ext. Volt' ports on the receiver.

Note: The receiver supports a working voltage range of 3.5V to 9.0V.

3.3 Binding Procedure

To establish communication between the transmitter and receiver, a binding process is required:

1. Turn off both the transmitter and receiver.
2. Press and hold the 'SET' button on the RG206S receiver while powering it on. The receiver's LED indicator will flash rapidly, indicating it is in binding mode.
3. Turn on the WFLY X9 transmitter.
4. Navigate to the binding menu on the transmitter's touch screen (refer to the on-screen interface for specific steps).
5. Initiate the binding process from the transmitter.
6. Once binding is successful, the receiver's LED indicator will turn solid, and the transmitter will display a successful connection message.
7. Turn off both devices and then power them on normally to confirm the connection.

4. Operation

4.1 Basic Controls

• Steering Wheel: Controls the left/right direction of your RC vehicle.
• Throttle Trigger: Pull to accelerate forward, push to brake or reverse.
• Trims: Adjust the neutral position of steering and throttle channels for fine-tuning.
• D/R (Dual Rate): Adjusts the maximum throw of steering or other channels.

4.2 Touch Screen Navigation

The WFLY X9 features a 3.5-inch capacitive touch screen for easy navigation and configuration. Tap icons and menus to access various settings:

• Main Screen: Displays real-time telemetry data such as battery voltage (transmitter and external), signal strength, and timer.
• Menu Button: Accesses the main settings menu.
• User Menu: Customizable shortcuts for frequently used functions.
• Model Selection: Select from up to 40 stored models, each with its own unique settings.

4.3 Advanced Functions

• Program Mix: Configure up to 5 custom mixes for complex control scenarios (e.g., 4-wheel steering).
• Voice Broadcast: Enable voice prompts for telemetry data or system alerts.
• GPS Support: When connected to a compatible GPS module, the system can display real-time speed detection.
• External Gyro Function: Enhance stability and control for racing or stunt applications.
• Channel Limit: Protect your servos and mechanical components by setting maximum travel limits for each channel.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Charging the Transmitter

If using a 1S LiPo battery, charge the transmitter via the Type-C USB port. Connect a standard USB charger (not included) to the Type-C port on the transmitter. The screen will indicate charging status.

5.2 Cleaning and Storage

• Wipe the transmitter and receiver with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents.
• Store the system in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures (-10℃ to +60℃ operating temperature).
• Remove batteries from the transmitter if storing for extended periods to prevent leakage.

5.3 Firmware Upgrade

The WFLY X9 supports USB online firmware upgrades. Visit the official WFLY website for the latest firmware versions and instructions. Connect the transmitter to your computer via a USB cable to perform the upgrade.
