Setup
2.1 Bind procedure:
Turn on the transmitter, connect the battery to the receiver while pressing receiver’s F/S button. After the RED LED is
off and GREEN LED is solid, the binding process is completed and the receiver is operating normally.
2.2 Setting failsafe:
TF series receivers support failsafe function for all channels. Follow the steps below to set failsafe:
1) Bind the receiver first, and disable failsafe on the transmitter side;
2) Set all transmitter controls to the desired failsafe position;
3) Press briefly the F/S button of the receiver, the GREEN LED of the receiver will flash twice, indicating the
failsafe is set up successfully.
If you do not need the failsafe function any more, just re-bind the receiver to set default failsafe mode.
Warning: Some transmitter manufacturers use a failsafe method that can interfere with that used by
FrSky. Be sure to disable any transmitter failsafe settings before setting FrSky failsafe positions. Unusual
jitter may result otherwise.

4. How to create a ganged , multi-channel receiver
TFR8-S can be paralleled with a TFR8/TFR8-S to become a multi-channel FASST compatible receiver.
Follow the steps below:
1) Bind both receivers to the transmitter/transmitter module;
2) Connect CH1 & CH2 of TFR8-S by a jumper, then CH3 will be shifted to CH9, CH4 will be shifted to CH10,
and so forth;
3) The two receivers can be placed in different areas of the model.
1.3 Features:
1) Compatible with FASST 2.4G: Air Systems (7CH Mode/Multi Mode) & Surface Systems (C1 Mode) ;
2) Parallel with TFR8/TFR8-S to become a 14 channel FASST compatible receiver ;
3) Improve capability of anti-interference ;
4) Firmware upgradable
