Precautions

Read the safety messages listed below before operation!

• Do not use the product at night or during bad weather conditions, like rain or thunderstorms. It can cause erratic operation or loss of control.
• Do not use the product when visibility is limited.
• Do not expose the product to rain or snow. Any exposure to moisture (water or snow) may cause erratic operation or loss of control.
• Interference may cause loss of control. To ensure the safety of you and others, do not operate in the following places:
  • Near any sites where other radio control activity may occur
  • Near people or roads
  • On any pond/lake when passenger boats are present
  • Near power lines or communication broadcasting antennas
• Do not use this product when you are tired, uncomfortable, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Doing so may cause serious injury to yourself or others.
• The 2.4GHz radio band is limited to line of sight. Always keep your model in sight as a large obstacle can block the RF signal and lead to loss of control.
• Never grip the transmitter antenna during operation. It significantly degrades signal quality and strength and may cause loss of control.
• Do not touch any part of the model that may generate heat during operation, or immediately after use. The engine or motor may be very hot and can cause serious burns.
• Misuse of this product may lead to serious injury or death. To ensure the safety of you and your equipment, read this manual and follow the instructions carefully.
• Make sure the product is properly installed in your model. Failure to do so may result in serious injury.
• Make sure that the receiver's battery is disconnected before turning off the transmitter. Failure to do so may lead to unintended operation and cause an accident.
• Ensure that all servos operate in the correct direction. If not, adjust the direction first.
• Make sure that the model stays within range in order to prevent loss of control.
• The CE warns that the installation of the antenna used in this transmitter must be kept at a distance from all personnel and shall not be used or used with any other transmitter. The end user and the installer must provide antenna installation instructions and transmitter operating conditions to meet the requirements for RF exposure compliance.

CAUTION! RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE. DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS.

1. Turn off the receiver first.
2. Long press the POWER button until the screen turns off.

⚠ Important: Make sure to disconnect the receiver power before turning off the transmitter. Failure to do so can result in loss of control. Unreasonable failsafe settings may cause accidents.

LEDs

The transmitter features Upper Ambient Lights (sides of the phone holder) and Lower Ambient Lights (sides of the POWER button).

Upper Ambient Lights Settings:

• Battery Indicator: Green indicates battery voltage is at or above the alarm value; Red indicates below.
• Ambient Light Color: Options include Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Cyan, Purple, or Dazzle.
• Brightness Level: Default is 50%, adjustable from 0-100%.

Setup Procedure for Ambient Lights:

1. From the Home interface, short press Middle to enter Main Menu.
2. Short press Left/Down to select 'System', then Middle to enter system settings.
3. Select 'Set Up' > 'Up Light'; the function item will flash.
4. Short press UP or Down to select the desired function item, then short press Middle.
5. Short press POWER to return to the previous interface.

The Lower Ambient Lights have the same functions and settings as the Upper Ambient Lights.

Stick Calibration

Use this function to correct mechanical deviations in the steering wheel, throttle trigger, and VR2 dial. Calibration is usually completed at the factory.

To recalibrate:

1. Navigate: Home > Main Menu > System > Stick Calibration. Select 'Yes' to enter the function interface.
2. Move the steering wheel to its maximum and minimum travel points (clockwise/counterclockwise), then release.
3. Push/pull the throttle trigger to its forward and backward limits, then release.
4. Rotate the VR2 3-Position Dial to its maximum and minimum travel points, then return it to the middle position.
5. Short press the POWER button. A prompt will appear. If calibration is successful, a confirmation message will show. Short press Middle to exit. If calibration fails, select 'No' to recalibrate or cancel.

Failsafe

The failsafe function activates when the receiver loses radio signal, causing the receiver to output pre-set channel values to protect the model and personnel.

For i-BUS/PPM/PWM signals, failsafe can be set to 'No Set', 'No Output', or 'With Output'.

• No Set: Failsafe is not configured; no output occurs if control is lost.
• No Output: No output for i-BUS/PPM/PWM channels.
• With Output: Channels output their set values. You can set values for channels 1-11. By default, it uses the current channel output value.

Setup:

1. Navigate: Home > Main Menu > RX Set > Failsafe. Short press Middle; the function item will flash.
2. Select 'With Output', short press Middle. A prompt appears. Adjust controls to desired positions and hold if necessary. Select 'Yes' on the prompt, then short press Middle again.
3. To set an individual channel, select the channel, short press Middle; the item will flash.
4. Select the appropriate value or adjust the corresponding control to the desired position and hold. Short press Middle to save.

Notes:

• S.BUS signals contain failsafe flag bits for subsequent device communication.
• For signals without failsafe flag bits (PWM/PPM/i-BUS), 'No Output' state transmits failsafe information.
• Default is 'No Set'; the receiver will not output if RC signal is lost.

Binding

The transmitter and receiver are pre-bound. To bind with other receivers:

The transmitter supports ANT 2 Way (default) and ANT 1 Way binding. ANT 2 Way binding displays receiver information upon completion.

Before binding, set RF System, RF Standard, RX Type, Output, and Frequency:

• RF System: Routine (strong anti-interference) or Fast (lower latency, lower power).
• RF Standard: ANT 2 Way or ANT 1 Way.
• RX Type: Standard or ESC (when RF Standard is ANT 2 Way).
• Output: PWM/S.BUS, PPM/i-BUS, PWM/i-BUS, PPM/S.BUS.
• Frequency: Digital Servo, Analog Servo, Other.

ANT 2 Way Binding Steps:

1. Select 'Start' and short press Middle; the transmitter enters binding state.
2. Press and hold the receiver's BIND button while powering on the receiver. The receiver LED should flash, indicating bind mode.
3. Refer to the FS-R11P receiver manual for other binding methods.
4. When the receiver LED is solid, binding is successful.
5. Check transmitter and receiver operation. Repeat steps for re-binding.

Notes:

• If ANT 1 Way binding is used, exit binding state when the receiver LED changes to slow flash and is solid.
• Binding modes may vary by receiver model; consult the Flysky official website.

Firmware Update

This function puts the transmitter into updating state for firmware upgrades.

⚠ Warning: Do not unplug the USB Type-C cable during firmware updates.

Firmware can be updated via:

  • The transmitter will restart upon completion. Remove the USB Type-C cable.

⚠ Attention: After a firmware update, the receiver may not connect. If this occurs, the receiver firmware may need updating.

Receiver Firmware Update

FS-R11P receiver firmware updates are done via FlySkyAssistant (version 3.0+). Firmware is available on www.flysky-cn.com.

Update Methods:

• Mode I: Bind transmitter and receiver (receiver LED solid), connect transmitter to computer, open FlyskyAssistant to update.
• Mode II: Connect transmitter to computer. Put receiver into forced update mode (receiver LED flashes three times, then off, repeatedly). Open FlyskyAssistant to update.

Ways to enter receiver forced update state:

• Power on receiver while holding BIND button for 10+ seconds until LED flashes three times, then release BIND.
• Power on receiver, then press and hold BIND button for 10+ seconds until LED flashes three times, then release BIND.
• Connect CH5 signal pin and BIND signal pin using a binding cable, then power on the receiver.
