1. For maximum performance it is recommended to position the antenna at a 90 degree angle as
shown in the picture shown below.
Recommended Position
(version 2.0)
2. The receiver antenna should not be placed near the engine, metal parts, or high current batteries.
3. When using a large number of high-power digital servos in a model, it is highly recommended to
use the SPC feature to insure the receiver always gets the power it needs in high load conditions.
If not, use the system with enough receiver battery capacity.
4. There could be a possible time-delay in receiving telemetry data from HTS-SS(sensor-station)
depending on the conditions in the area you fly.
5. It is strongly recommended to use Hitec 's genuine Heavy Duty High Channel Switch Harness with
Receiver Charger Cord (Stock#. 54407S) for all Optima series receivers.

1. Function Button
- Used for binding the receiver to a module or Hitec 2.4 built-in transmitters,
entering the FAIL-SAFE or Hold feature.
2. Dual LED Status Indicator
- Indicates the set-up process codes and current status of the receiver.
3. Channel Output and Battery Input Ports
- The ports for battery power input and servos, gyros and other accessories output port are located at the
side end of the Optima receivers.
4. SPC (Supplementary Power Connection)*
- Power the Optima receiver function with up to a 35V. electric aircraft motor battery.
Details about the SPC system can be found in page 2.
5. Telemetry Sensor and Data Port*
- A three pin servo plug connector port is featured on the Optima 7 and Optima 9. (Optima 6 is not applicable.)
Using the HPP-22 PC interface accessory this port serves to facilitate upgrading the devices software and
interfacing the optional onboard sensor station.
6. BODA (Boosted Omni Directional Antenna) System*
- Hitec's exclusive 2.4GHz BODA System will show you another meaning of using 2.4GHz system, this
single antenna with Omni-directional booster makes whole lot easy to install the 2.4GHz antenna. Intensive
test have proven that the single BODA system in our 6 & 7 channel systems is better than or equal
to our competitors dual antenna systems while our Optima 9 receiver features a dual BODA system to give
the added security that larger models need. Installation is easy and simple, insert the antenna into the
supported antenna holder and stick it to the desired spot you wish to install.
Compatibility
- The OPTIMA & MINIMA series receivers are compatible with transmitters using the Hitec AFHSS 2.4 GHz
system, such as, Spectra 2.4 module or dedicated built-in module AFHSS 2.4 Hitec transmitters.
FAIL-SAFE/Hold Mode Selectable
- Servos and other accessories position can be set with a FAIL-SAFE point, if power to the receiver is lost.
See page 2 for details.
Low Onboard Battery Warning Function
Know when the on-board battery is low with a warning alarm from the transmitter while you are flying.
Review the Low Battery alarm features that use direct telemetry feedback to your transmitter on page 2.
Jumper*
The jumper is installed at the factory and is used when the receiver is powered by an electronic speed control,
a commercially available B.E.C. (battery eliminator circuit), dedicated 4.8 to 6V. NiMH battery pack, or regulated
Li-Po battery. The jumper is removed when the receiver is powered using the SPC feature as described in more
detail on page 2.
*These functions/ features are only for OPTIMA series recever
Receiver Connection Diagrams
