FUTABA 2PL Instruction Manual page 12

Prohibited
The receiver antenna may seem long. Do not cut or alter from the original length.
If the receiver antenna length is altered, the receiver will be adversely effected. The
receiver will become considerably more susceptible to interference and high fre-
quency noise which will result in loss of range and control.
Installation Note
(Electric Cars and Boats)
Isolate the receiver from vibration by attaching to the chassis or mounting plate with
thick double sided tape.
(Gas Powered Cars and Boats)
Isolate the receiver from vibration by wrapping it in foam rubber or similar type cush-
ioning material. Protect the unit from water damage by placing it in a plastic bag or
waterproof radio box.
The receiver contains precision electronic parts. These parts are vulnerable to vibra-
tion and shock. Any contact with moisture (water or condensation) may cause receiver
malfunction and loss of control.
Installation Note
Keep all devises that omit high frequency noise, such as motors, batteries, and wiring
that handles heavy current loads, at least 1/2 inch away from the receiver and the
receiver antenna.
High frequency noise will cause a decrease in operating range and could cause loss of
control.
Use genuine Futaba parts only.
Use only genuine Futaba crystal sets as specified in this instruction manual.
The use of other than Futaba crystal sets will result in decrease of range as well as
loss of control. There are separate crystals for the Transmitter and Receiver. There
are also crystal sets for AM, FM and Dual Conversion FM. Use only single conversion
AM crystal sets with this system.
Changing crystals in 72-75 MHz transmitter is illegal. However, 27 MHz is allowable.
(For U.S.A.)
Install electronic speed control heat sinks as well as other components that conduct
electricity so they can not come in contact with aluminum, carbon fiber or other mate-
rials that conduct electricity.
If, for example, the speed control came loose while the model was running and
touched an aluminum chassis, a short circuit may occur that would cause irreparable
damage to the system as well as loss of control.
Installation Note
Noise suppression capacitors should be installed on almost all motors.
If the proper capacitors are not installed, high frequency noise will reduce range and
cause loss of control along with various other problems.
Installation Note
Inspect all linkage installations and any point where metal could come in contact with
other metal parts. Make sure these parts do not touch other metal parts under vibra-
tion.
Should a linkage or other metal parts come in contact with other metal parts under
vibration, the high frequency noise generated by this contact will cause interference
and possible loss of control.
Caution
Disassembly Prohibited
Do Not disassemble any part of this system that is not specified in the instruction
manual.
Futaba will not be responsible for any damage due to improper disassembly of any
part of the radio control system.
