  • Page 35: Receiver System Change & How To Link

    Receiver system Change & How To Link First set up the receiver. Setting changes are immediately re昀氀ected. 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 36 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 37. When using a T-FHSS SR receiver (R334SBS) and T-FHSS receiver (R304SB, etc.) go to next step 3.
