R404SBS-E
Thank you for purchasing the R404SBS-E receiver. The
R404SBS-E is designed for use with the Futaba F-4G
system transmitter.
Note: The R404SBS-E is compatible with the F-4G system transmitters.
The receiver type setting of the transmitter is set in F-4G.
*Futaba F-4G system does not work with current Futaba T-FHSS(SR)/S-FHSS/
FHSS/FASSTest/FASST/T-FHSS Air system.
Usage conditions
WARNING
Be sure to use R404SBS-E under the following conditions.
■ Use in EP (Electric motor) cars. NEVER use the R404SBS-E in GP (Engine) cars.
■ Use with a 3.7 V to 7.4 V battery. NEVER use dry batteries.
■ Transmitter RX type setting: F-4G
■ Wrap the receiver with something soft, such as foam rubber, to avoid vibration. Do not
splash water over the receiver.
SR mode notes
* Use the SR servo for SR mode.
* If a normal servo is connected to a CH with SR mode ON, there is a risk of damage.
* Do not connect the SR servo (set to SR mode) and the analog servo in the digital servo mode.
* Do not connect the SR servo (set to SR mode) in analog servo mode.
* Do not connect the SR servo (set to SR mode) in "S"-port (S.BUS2).

Link Procedure
Each transmitter has an individually assigned, unique ID code. In order to start
operation, the receiver must be linked with the ID code of the transmitter with
which it is being paired. Once the link is made, the ID code is stored in the
receiver and no further linking is necessary unless the receiver is to be used with
another transmitter.
1
Place the transmitter and the receiver within half a meter of each other.
2
Place the transmitter into the linking mode and turn on the receiver.
3
During countdown, push the receiver tact switch for approximately 2 seconds. The
LED will begin to blink red. After the receiver LED switches from blinking red to
green → green steady light, If the transmitter and receiver are linked normally, set
the power switch to the OFF position and then return it to the PWR ON position. If
the receiver LED lights green, linking was successful.
* Please refer to the table for LED status and receiver condition.
* Refer to user manual of the transmitter, to change your transmitter in "Link" mode.
* If there are many F-4G systems turned on in close proximity, your receiver might have difficulty
establishing a link to your transmitter. This is a rare occurrence. However, should another
F-4G transmitter/receiver be linking at the same time, your receiver could link to the wrong
transmitter. This is very dangerous if you do not notice this situation. In order to avoid the
problem,we strongly recommend you double check whether your receiver is really under control
by your transmitter.
Declaration of Conformity (for EU)
Hereby, Futaba Corporation declares that the radio equipment type is R404SBS-E in compliance with Directive 2014/53/EU.

Telemetry system
With the telemetry system, the running status can be displayed at the
transmitter. By connecting S.BUS sensors that are separately sold
into the S (S.BUS2) port of the receiver (R404SBS-E),
the transmitter will be possible to show the telemetry data on its
display.
Link notice
WARNING
Do not perform the linking procedure with motor's main wire connected as
it may result in serious injury.
After the linking is done, please cycle receiver power and check if the receiver
to be linked is really under the control of the transmitter to be linked.
■ The settings will not be reflected unless restart.
About the servos
WARNING
When the SR mode is ON, it is exclusively for SR compatible servos.
■ Using a servo other than the SR compatible servo may cause malfunction of the servo or
receiver.
Antenna attention
WARNING
Do not put any conductive equipment/sticker on the antenna part.
■ Otherwise, the operating range may become shorter.
