Do not touch the antenna during operation. Doing so could interfere with transmission, causing a crash.
Do not carry the transmitter by the antenna. The antenna wire could break and prevent transmission.
Do not pull the antenna forcefully. The antenna wire could break and prevent transmission.
The antenna can be rotated 180 degrees and
angled 90 degrees. Forcing the antenna further
than this can cause damage to the antenna. The
antenna is not removable.
The antenna rotation and angle can be adjusted.
The antenna features week radio signal in the
forward direction and strong radio signal in the
sideways directions. Adjust the antenna angle to
match your flying style.

Please connect a battery in the battery compartment before use.
The voltage range should be DC 6-15V.
Be careful not to drop the battery.
Don't pull the battery wires as this could produce short-circuits and may cause the battery to fire even explode.
Do not remove the battery from the TARANIS Q X7 transmitter while the voltage warning is blinking as this could
cause internal settings and memories to be destroyed.
Do not use the transmitter if a “Backup Error” warning occurs.
Taranis Q X7 has 4 centred sticks and will not distinguish between the throttle stick and other sticks.
You can change the stick mode and feeling according to your need.
Enter the MODEL SETUP menu.
Step 1:
Set the Mode for Taranis Q X7 Internal RF

Notice:
Older V8 series receivers are not supported by the internal module of Taranis Q X7 but can be used with an
external DJT module in V8 mode.
Taranis Q X7–EU version only has D16-EU and LR12 mode.
Step 2:
Set the
Channel Range
The internal RF module of Taranis Q X7 supports up to 16 channels. The channel range is configurable, and needs
double check before use.
Step 3:
Set the
Receiver Number
When you create a new model, the system will assign you a receiver number automatically, but this can be easily
changed. The range of the receiver number is 00-63, with the default number being 01 (use 00 is not recommended).
Once the receiver is set to the desired number and is bound to the Taranis Q X7, the bind procedure will not need to
be repeated unless the receiver number is changed, In this case, either set the receiver number to the previous one
or repeat the bind procedure.
Step 4: Bind
Bind refers to Taranis Q X7 binding mode. Move the cursor to
“Bind”
, press
ENTER
button, the cursor will flash and
the speaker will beep to remind you that the RF module has entered the bind mode. Then put your receiver into
binding mode and finish the bind procedure (refer to the receiver’s manual for details).Press
Enter
or
EXIT
to exit.
Step 5:
Set
Failsafe mode
There are 4 failsafe modes: No Pulse, Hold, Custom and receiver (this mode only used above opentx-v2.0.0
firmware).
● No Pulse: on loss of signal the receiver produces no pulses on any channel. To use this type, select it in the menu
and wait 9 seconds for the failsafe to take effect.
● Hold: the receiver continues to output the last positions before signal was lost. To use this type, select it in the menu
and wait 9 seconds for the failsafe to take effect.
● Custom: pre-set to required positions on lost signal. Move the cursor to
“Set”
and press
ENTER,
you will see
FAILSAFE SETTING screen below. Move the cursor to the channel you want to set failsafe on, and press
ENTER.
When moving the corresponding sticks or switches, you will see the channel bar moving. Move the channel bar to the
place you want for failsafe and long press
ENTER
to finish the setting. Wait 9 seconds before the failsafe takes effect.
●Receiver: set the failsafe on the receiver (see receiver instructions) in D16 or LR12 mode, select it in the menu and
wait 9 seconds for the failsafe to take effect.
Notice:
The above instructions do not apply to D-series receivers, which require the internal RF module of Taranis Q X7 to
be in D8 mode. For these receivers, failsafe must be set on the receiver side (see receiver instructions)
● SBUS port always outputs, No Pulse could not perform properly on it. Set “Hold” or “Custom” for SBUS port.
Step 6: Range
Range refers to Taranis Q X7 range check mode. A pre-flight range check should be done before each flying session.
Move the cursor to
“Range”
and press
ENTER.
In range check mode, the effective distance will be decreased to
1/30. Press
Enter
or
EXIT
to exit.
