Receiver's Antenna Installation - FUTABA T12K Instruction Manual

Receiver's Antenna Installation

The R3008SB has two antennas. In order to maximize signal operation for safe modeling,
Futaba uses a diversity antenna system. This system allows the receiver to use signals from both
antenna and fly safely.

For best results, please follow these instructions:
1. To maximize range, keep the antennae as
straight as possible.
2. Place the two antennae at a 90 degree
angle to each other.

*The two antennas should be placed at 90 degrees to each other.
*The Illustration demonstrates how the antenna should be placed.
*Receiver Vibration and Waterproofing: The receiver contains precision electronic parts. Be sure to avoid vibration, shock,
and temperature extremes. For protection, wrap the receiver in foam rubber or other vibration-absorbing materials. It is
also a good idea to waterproof the receiver by placing it in a plastic bag and securing the open end of the bag with a rubber
band before wrapping it with foam rubber. If you accidentally get moisture or fuel inside the receiver, you may experience
intermittent operation or a crash. If necessary, return the receiver to our service center for repairs.
*Must be kept as straight as possible.

For best results, please keep the antennas
to keep the antennas away from each
other as much as possible.
Larger models can have large metal
objects that can attenuate the RF signal. In
this case, the antennas should be placed
at both sides of the model. That way the
best RF signal condition is obtained at any
flying attitude.
3. The antennas must be kept away from
conductive materials, such as metal,
carbon and fuel tanks by at least half an
inch. The coaxial part of the antennas does
not need to follow these guidelines, but be
sure not to bend it in a tight radius.
4. Keep the antennas away from the motor,
ESC, and other noise sources as much as
possible.
