The XP8
10
3 employs a plug-in module system for transmitter 
frequency changes. If you want to change a frequency
, you can 
simply change the radio frequency (RF) module, commonly 
referred to as either an RF module or transmitter module. The JR 
modules are universal for all modular frequency controlled 
systems. In other words, if you currently own a modular JR 
system, you can use the RF module from your current system with 
the XP8
10 3.
 
 
The XP8
10
3 can transmit in either Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) 
or in Pulse Position Modulation (PPM, commonly referred to as 
FM). Be cer
tain to observe the following guidelines:
 
 
1.
 
Do not operate your transmitter when another transmitter is 
using the same frequency
, regardless of whether the second 
transmitter is PCM, PPM (FM) or AM. Y
ou can never operate 
two transmitters on the same frequency simultaneously without
 
causing inter
ference to both receivers and crashing both aircraft.
2.
 
For operation of your XP8
10
3 with additional receivers, you 
should refer to the receiver compatibility char
t. The char
t is 
located in the Modulation Select Section of this manual.

ircraft Only Frequencies
 
 
JR RF modules and receivers are available on 5
0, 5
3, and 7
2
 
MHz frequencies in the United States for use with model aircraft. 
Employing 7
2
 MHz frequencies does not require a special 
operators license from the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC). However
, the 5
0
 and 5
3
 MHz frequencies require that 
you carry a T
echnician II license.

t for all available frequencies is located on page 1

Lithium Batter
y Indicator
 
If the voltage level of the lithium batter
y drops below an 
acceptable level (2
.
2v), an “L” will appear and flash to the left 
of the model number
. This indicates that the lithium batter
y will
no longer maintain program memory if the main batter
y is 
disconnected. When the flashing “L” appears on the screen, the 
system should be sent to the JR/Horizon Ser
vice Center for a 
lithium batter
y replacement.
 
"L" indicates 
lithium battery 
needs to be 
re
larm and Backup Error Display
 
 
ll pre-programmed data is protected by a five-year lithium 
batter
y that guards against main transmitter batter
y failure. 
Should the lithium batter
y fail, the display will indicate 1 back 
up error regardless of the position of the ON/OFF switch.  If 
this occurs, it will be necessar
y to replace the batter
y and 
reprogram all data. All transmitter programs will retur
n to the 
factor
y default setting, and the data you have input will be lost. 
When it becomes necessary to replace the lithium back-up 
batter
y
,
 contact the JR/Horizon Ser
vice Center
. Due to the 
possibility of extensive damage caused by improper removal or 
replacement, only the JR/Horizon Service Center is authorized 
to make the change.
