MODELMATCH
Patent pending ModelMatch technology prevents the operation of your model,
if you select the wrong model memory. During binding the receiver learns the
model’s memory (1 through 30) the transmitter is currently programmed to.
Later, if you select the incorrect model memory in the transmitter and turn the
receiver on, the model won’t operate. This prevents a possible crash. Change the
programming to the correct model memory, and you can fly.
ADvANCED DIGITAL TRIMS
The 11X features Advanced digital trims. On the Normal display screen, if you
move a trim lever, the screen automatically displays the graphic position for the
trim being adjusted. The 11X Aileron, Elevator and Rudder trim levers and the
right and left rear levers feature an audible center trim beep. This helps when
determining the trim lever’s center position during flight. In addition, the frequency
of each trim step changes from full right/up to full left/down on the three front
digital trims. This allows you to be aware of the general trim position audibly
without looking at the transmitter.
By using the Trim System Function located in the System List, you can adjust the
amount of travel per each trim step as needed for your specific application. When
you turn the 11X off, the transmitter stores the trim values and recalls them when
turned back on.

CAUTION:

AR6000, AR6100, AR6100e, AR6110, AR6110E, AR6300, AR6400 and
AR7600 when the remote receiver is not connected), you should only fly these
receivers in park flyer-type aircraft (small electric airplanes or mini and micro
helicopters). Flying receivers designed for park flyers in larger aircraft could
cause a loss of control resulting in damage to property and/or injury.
CHARGING
Do’s and Don’ts
• Charge transmitter and receiver battery before flying.
• Check receiver battery charge between each flight using a tester with built-in
load.
• Only use charger on JR equipment. Charge plug polarity may be different.
Equipment damage can result.
• Do not use other manufacturer’s after-market accessories that plug into
transmitter charging jack. If you doubt polarity compatibility, seek expert
advice to avoid possible damage.
• The center pin on all JR transmitters is negative. Therefore, all JR chargers
have a negative center pin, not positive.
• Beware of improper connections based on color-coded wire leads—they
may not apply.
• ALWAYS connect the center pin of y our JR transmitter to the negative pole
for correct polarity.
Instructions
1. Plug the charger into the 11X battery port on the right side of the radio.
2. Plug the charger power supply into the wall outlet.
CAUTION:
Not following proper sequence of numbers 1 and 2 can cause a
static short, which could damage the battery circuitry.
3. For initial charge and any charging of fully discharged battery, charge time
is 10–12 hours. Charge time decreases if battery is not fully discharged.
4. Monitor the temperature of battery during charging.
5. After charging, check the voltage of the battery pack by turning system on.
Voltage should be just over 11 volts (11.4 approximately but will vary).
6. During first use, battery voltage may drop below 9.6 volts. Charge the
battery again to just over 11 volts. Do not overcharge.
Notes
• The 11X battery contains a heat detector. If it senses excessive heat, it shuts
off the charger and shows an error on the charger LED.
• The battery voltage does not affect the output of the system as the output is
regulated internally.
• The 11X charger is not a peak detect charger. If using a fast charger for
the transmitter battery, do not exceed 1.5 amps (1500mA) charge rate or
damage to transmitter or battery can occur.
• The 11X charger output is DC 11.6V, with 110mA as the average charge rate.
• If using a peak detection charger, make sure battery is fully charged. NiMH
batteries tend to repeatedly false peak with peak detection fast chargers. Use
a charger that displays the total charge current. Note the number of mAh put
into a discharged pack to verify it charges to capacity.
Safety Precautions and Warnings
Failure to exercise caution while using this product and comply with the
following warnings could result in product malfunction, electrical issues,
excessive heat, FIRE, and ultimately injury and property damage.
• If the transmitter voltage drops below 9.0 volts or the battery alarm goes off
during flight, land immediately and recharge.
• Read all safety precautions and literature prior to use of this product.
• Never leave battery and charger unattended during use.
• Never allow minors to charge battery packs without adult supervision.
• Never attempt to charge dead or damaged batteries.
• Never charge a battery if the cable has been pinched or shorted.
• Never allow batteries or charger to come into contact with moisture at any
time.
• Never charge batteries in extremely hot or cold places (recommended
between 50–80 drees Fahrenheit) or place in direct sunlight.
• Always use only compatible NiMH rechargeable batteries. This charger
cannot charge batteries such as “heavy duty,” “alkaline battery,” or
“mercury battery.”
• Always properly connect charger and battery.
• Always disconnect the battery and hcarger after charging, and let them cool
between charges.
• Always inspect the battery before charging.
• Always terminate all processes and contact Horizon Hobby if the product
malfunctions.
• Always monitor battery temperature while charging.
• End charging process if the charger or battery comes hot to the touch or
starts to change form during the charge process.
WARNING:
Charge only rechargeable batteries. Non-rechargeable
batteries may burst causing injury to persons and/or damage to property.
THe JR R921 ReCeIVeR
The JR R921 incorporates two internal receivers and one remote receiver with
an optional second remote receiver. You must plug 1 remote receiver into one of
the remote receiver ports for the system to operate and a second remote receiver
(optional) into the remaining remote antenna port.
Installing the receivers in different locations throughout the aircraft exposes
each receiver to its own RF environment. This greatly improves the ability of
the receivers to see the signal in all conditions. This gives a solid RF link, even
in aircraft that have substantial conductive materials (e.g., turbine engines with
metal tail pipes, carbon fiber, tuned pipes, etc.) that can weaken the signal.
Installing the R921
Install the main receiver using the same method of a conventional receiver in
your aircraft. Typically, wrap the main receiver in protective foam and fasten it in
place using rubber bands or hook and loop straps. Alternately in electric models
or in jets (low vibration),you can use thick double-sided foam tape to fasten the
main receiver in place.
Using double-sided foam tape (servo tape), mount the remote receiver(s)
keeping it at least 2 inches away from the primary receiver. Ideally, you should
position the antennas perpendicular to each other. 6-, 9-, 12-, 24-, and 36-inch
leads are available. A standard installation includes the main receiver mounted
conventionally in the fuselage and the remote antennas in the nose (jets) in
the top turtle deck and even in the tail. The optimum location, especially for
sophisticated aircraft, is as far away from any conductive materials as practical.
In helicopters, the servo tray generally has enough room to achieve the
necessary separation. When needed you can make a mount using clear plastic to
position the remote receiver.
Other important installation tips:
1. Mount the servos using rubber grommets and brass eyelets to isolate them
from vibration. Do not over-tighten the mounting screws; this will negate
the vibration absorption effect of the rubber grommets. When mounting,
push the brass eyelets from the bottom up in the rubber grommets. By
tightening the servo screw securely, you provide the proper security and
vibration isolation for your servo.
2. The servo arms must be able to move freely over their entire range of travel.
Make sure the control linkages do not bind or impede the movement of any
of the servos.
3. Mount all switches away from the engine exhaust and away from any high
vibration areas. Make sure the switch operates freely and over its full travel.
