Important Notes

Antenna Installation

IMPORTANT: Install the provided antenna in the top of the radio BEFORE installing batteries and turning on the radio. DO NOT operate the radio without the antenna installed and the internal RF module powered on. Doing so will damage the internal RF module and will not be covered under warranty.

Firmware

The TX15 is pre-installed with the most stable firmware at the factory at the time of release. Please only attempt to update the firmware if you are confident in the process. Incorrect firmware updates may cause the remote control to become inoperable.

Safety Information

Many remote-control models are equipped with powerful motors and sharp propellers. When using or maintaining models, proceed with caution. When performing assembly or maintenance, make sure to disconnect the power to the model and remove the propellers.

Do not operate the TX15 remote control system under the following conditions:

• In severe weather or strong windy conditions, such as rain, hail, snow, storms, or electromagnetic environments.
• In any situation where visibility is limited.
• In areas where people, property, high-voltage power lines, public roads, vehicles, or animals may be present.
• If you feel tired or unwell, or under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
• If the remote control or model seems to be damaged or not working properly.
• In areas with high 2.4GHz interference or where 2.4GHz radio is prohibited.
• When the radio's battery voltage is too low to be used.
• In areas where local regulations prohibit the use of aviation models.

Batteries & Charging

The TX15 has a built-in USB-C charging function for 3.7V lithium batteries. The charging circuit is only designed to charge 2x 3.7V Li-ion 18650 or 2x 3.7V Li-Poly batteries (2s 7.4v Lipo battery pack). The nominal battery voltage is 3.7V, and the charged voltage is 4.2V/Cell.

DO NOT use LiFe battery packs or 18650 lithium-ion batteries with a nominal voltage of 3.6V with a fully charged voltage of 4.10V. Charging the incorrect type of battery may damage the charger or cause a fire.

If using Li-ion, ensure the cells are not protected and are button-top cells.

Please check the voltage and condition of the battery regularly and never charge unattended. Always charge in a safe area away from combustible materials. Refrain from charging if the remote control gets wet or damaged in any way. DO NOT charge with the polarity reversed.

RadioMaster does not assume any responsibility for any adverse consequences caused by the use or misuse of this product.
