Why you should use the DSC function:
1. Reduced Current Consumption—The DSC function
enables you to check the control functions of your airplane with-
out drawing the full 200mAh from your transmitter battery pack.
Instead, you will only draw 70mAh when using the DSC func-
tion.
2. Make Adjustments Without Transmitting—The DSC
function allows you to make adjustments to your airplane without
transmitting any radio signals. Therefore, if another pilot is flying
on your frequency, you can still adjust your airplane and not
interfere with the other pilot’s aircraft.
Using the DSC Cord
For proper DSC hook-up and operation:
1. Leave the transmitter power switch in the “off ” position.
The transmitter will not transmit any RF in this position.
2. Plug the DSC cord (supplied) into the DSC port in the rear
of the transmitter. The encoder section of the transmitter will now
be operational and the LCD display will be active
Note: Once the Pilot Link function is activated, the DSC func-
tion will not operate. To use the DSC function, the Pilot Link
function must be inhibited temporarily.
3. Plug the other end of the DSC cord into the receiver charge
receptacle. Turn the receiver switch to the “on” position.
Frequency Notes
The 10X employs a plug-in module system for transmitter
frequency and band changes. If you wish to change a frequency,
you can simply change the radio’s module, commonly referred to
as either an RF module or transmitter module. JR modules are
universal for all JR aircraft systems. In other words, if you cur-
rently own a JR module, it can be used with the new 10X.
The 10X can transmit in either Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) or
in Pulse Position Modulation (PPM). See page 63 for information
about selecting modulation type (Code 85).
Be certain to observe the following guidelines:
1. Do not operate your transmitter when another transmitter is
using the same frequency, regardless of whether the second trans-
mitter is PCM, PPM, AM or FM.
2. For operation of your 10X with other models of JR
receivers, please refer to the receiver compatibility chart, which is
located in Section 8.25 on page 63 of this manual.
Aircraft Only Frequencies
JR RF modules and receivers are available in 50, 53 and 72 MHz
frequencies in the United States for use with model aircraft only.
Operating on 72 MHz does not require a special operator’s
license from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
However, operating on 50 and 53 MHz requires that you obtain a
Technician II license.
• A chart for all available frequencies and their corresponding
channels is located in Section 14 of this manual.
