  • Page 31: Installation

    Installation Receiver And Servo Connections Connect the receiver and servos as shown below. Connect and install the receiver and ser- vos in accordance with "Installation Safety Precautions" on the next page. The figure shown below is an example. The method of connecting the motor controller to the motor and battery depends on the motor controller used.
  • Page 32: Installation Safety Precautions

    Installation Safety Precautions Warning Receiver (receiver antenna) Do not cut or bundle the receiver antenna wire. Do not bundle the receiver antenna wire together with the motor controller lead wire. Keep the receiver antenna wire at least 1cm away from motor, battery, and other wiring carrying heavy current. Do not use a metal receiver antenna holder on a plate made of metal, carbon, or other conductive material.
  • Page 33: Servo Installation

    Warning Connector Connections Be sure the receiver, servo, battery and connectors are fully and firmly connected. If vibration from the model causes a connector to work loose while the model is in operation, you may lose control . Servo Installation When you install the servos, always use the rubber grommets provided in servo hardware bags.

    " T-FHSS SR " , " T-FHSS " , " S-FHSS " , or " FASST " is displayed. If not displayed, there is probably an abnormality or trouble so contact a Futaba Service Center. When a screen is displayed at the " DSP " side, " Display " is displayed.
  • Page 36: Receiver System Change & How To Link

    Receiver system Change & How To Link First set up the receiver. Setting changes are immediately reflected. Next, the transmitter and receiver are linked and the receiver memorizes the transmitter ID number so that sig- nals from other transmitters will not be received. In addition, with the T-FHSS telemetry system, the transmitter simultaneously memorizes the receiver ID numbers so that data from other receivers will not be received.
  • Page 37 After set up this far is complete, when using a FASST system (R614FS/FF/FF-E) or S- FHSS system (R2104GF, R204GF-E, etc.) receiver, go to "Receiver other than T-FHSS" on page 39. When using a telemetry function T-FHSS SR receiver (R334SBS) and T-FHSS re- ceiver (R304SB, etc.) , go to step.
  • Page 38: Receivers Other Than T-Fhss

    Precaution: If there are many Futaba 2.4GHz systems turned on in close proximity to your receiver might not link to your trans- mitter. In this case, even if the receiver’s LED stays solid green, unfortunately the receiver might have established a link to one of other transmitters.
