      How to switch the protocol

      Note: Switching internal protocol is only available for the Frsky version radio transmitter. ExpressLRS version can only switch to the external TX module.

      To change protocols and TX module, here are the steps:

      • Power the radio transmitter off;
      • Press and hold the BIND button while powering the radio transmitter back on;
      • Then the flash color and times of the LED before buzzer alarms will change, according to the tables above.
      The Frsky version could support 4 different internal protocols, including Frsky D16 FCC, Frsky D16 LBT, Frsky D8, and Futaba S-FHSS. The protocol is indicated by the flashing times of the LED when power on, before the buzzer alarms.
      Frsky Version
      LED Status
      Protocol Version
      Red Flash once
      Internal Frsky D16 FCC (ACCST 1.X Version)
      Red Flash twice
      Internal Frsky D16 LBT (ACCST 1.X Version)
      Red Flash Three Times
      Internal Frsky D8
      Red Flash Four Times
      Internal Futaba S-FHSS
      Purple Flash Three Times Quickly
      Internal TX Module Off and Run External TX Module
      ExpressLRS Version
      LED Status
      Protocol Version
      Red Flash once
      Internal ELRS
      Purple Flash Three Times Quickly
      Internal TX Module Off and Run External TX Module

        Note: LiteRadio 3 Frsky version only works with D16 ACCST 1.X Frsky protocol. So if you use a Frsky receiver with D16 ACCST 2.X version or ACCESS version, the binding will fail.

            ELRS update to v3.0

            Info to anyone upgrading your ELRS version. When you upgrade to the latest 3.0, then you have to setup the modes (1,2) in the radio again and also calibrate the sticks. Otherwise the radio will not bind to the receiver using the bindphrase you give it. Basically the firmware upgrade erases your radio setup, so you have to set it up again.
            @BETAFPV you could add this info to the official ELRS upgrade guide as well.
            https://support.betafpv.com/hc/en-us/articles/22404447195673-How-to-Update-ELRS-V2-to-ELRS-V3
            Otherwise good radio, it does what its supposed to.

            How?

            Hello I bought Literadio3 to enjoy cetus x. But literadio3 failed to connect to cetus x. I tried to find out how to connect, but all failed. Please tell me how to do it.

            I'm sorry to hear that. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the connection:

            ①Make sure that the transmitter and drone are on the same frequency and that the transmitter is set to the correct protocol for your drone.
            ②Try resetting both the transmitter and drone to their default settings and then repeating the binding process.
            ③Check the user manual for both the transmitter and drone to see if there are any specific instructions or troubleshooting steps that you can follow.

            If none of these steps work, you may want to reach out to BetaFPV customer support for further assistance.
