Binding procedure

A) Roll back Multi-Module RF firmware to v1.3.3.20 as later versions have issues binding with XM+ (Multi-protocol Firmware issue #987)

• Download Multi-module firmware v1.3.3.20
  https://github.com/pascallanger/DIY-Multiprotocol-TX-Module/releases/download/v1.3.3.20/mm-stm-serial-aetr-v1.3.3.20.bin
• Copy it to the Firmware directory on the Radio Transmitter’s SD-Card.
• Power up the Radio Transmitter and Flash the firmware into Internal RF module
• Sys->SD-card->Firmware->mm-stm-serial-aetr-v1.3.3.20.bin->Flash Internal Multi

B) Bind TX16S to XM+

• On the Transmitter, Check RF protocol and Receiver ID
  MDL->Internal RF
  Mode = Frsky X2
  RF Protocol = LBT (EU)
  Receiver ID = 2 (pick a unique number that is not used in other models on the Radio)
• (IMPORTANT) Keep the Radio Transmitter at least 3 feet away from the XM+ during binding and operation.
• Hold BIND button when powering up XM+, release button only after both Red and Green LEDs are lit steady.
• on the Transmitter, press the BIND button and choose “CH 1-8 Telem OFF” if being used as redundant receiver “CH 1-8 Telem ON” otherwise.
• when binding is successful the RED led will start blinking and GREEN remains steady.
• Power off and power on the XM+. Green LED should be blinking at a fast rate. This means receiver is bound correctly to the radio.

C) Restore the Multi-module firmware back to the latest version

• Sys->SD-card->Firmware->4in1-FCC-air-v1.3.4.0->Flash Internal Multi
