FUNCTION 1 - SET CHANNEL MAPPING 
 
Range: 1 to number of receiver channels 
 

Channel  mapping  is  a  handy  feature  when  you  have  a  transmitter  with 
limited  functionality  or  you  just  want  assign  channels  to  different  output 
pins.    The  default  channel  map  is  1:1.    This  means  that  the  transmitter’s 
channel  1  is  mapped  to  the  XtremeLink

® 

receiver’s  output  channel  1.    One 

common  use  for  this  feature  is  assigning  two  throttle  outputs.    Instead  of 
using  a  “Y-cable”  to  tie  the  servo  outputs  together,  you  can  just  assign  a 
second output.  You could use the normal throttle channel output (channel 1 
for most JR), and assign it also to be a channel 10 output (providing you had 
a  10  channel  XtremeLink

® 

receiver).    The  outputs  occur  at  the  exact  same 

time,  completely  eliminating  any  type  of  “lag”  that  is  common  when  using 
individual channels for duplicating outputs. 
 
With the STATUS LED solid red, press and hold the programming button until 
the  STATUS  LED  turns  off.    The  STATUS  LED  will  now  flash  orange  the 
number of times equal to the current receiver servo output position, followed 
by a one second pause.  When you first enter the channel map programming 
(output 1), the STATUS LED will flash once, followed by a one second pause. 
 
Every time you press and release the programming button, the channel map 
position  will  advance  by  one.   The  channel  map  position  begins  at  output  1 
(one  flash)  and  ends  with  the  number  of  channels  that  your  receiver  has.  
So,  the  8  channel  XtremeLink

® 

has  eight  possible  channel  map  positions, 

while  the  10  channel  XtremeLink

® 

receiver  has  ten  possible  channel  map 

positions. 
 
To change the channel map output, press and hold the programming button 
until the STATUS LED turns off, and begins flashing green.  The STATUS LED 
will  begin  flashing  green  the  number  of  times  equal  to  the  current 
transmitter channel number for that servo output position.  For example, the 
default  value  of  the  channel  map  1  would  flash  just  once,  indicating  the 
throttle  channel  (for  JR  radios).    After  the  STATUS  LED  is  done  flashing 
green, you have five seconds to enter a new channel number value.  You do 
this by pressing and releasing the programming button the number of times 
equal to the new channel number.  NOTE - It is possible to set the channel 
number to  be any  value from 1  to 16.  This allows you  to assign a channel 
number  higher  than  what  you  receiver  normally  has  for  outputs.    An 
example  of  this  would  be  using  a  6  channel  XtremeLink

® 

receiver  with 

channel 7 assigned to servo output position 5 (which might be a proportional 
control for a variable pitch propeller).
