Thank you for your purchasing SANWA 2.4 GHz Receiver "RX-492i". This product manual explains
correct uses, safe uses, and product notifications. Please read the manual and follow steps and
cautions before using. If you read the manual, please keep it whenever you need to read.
PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
!
●RX-492i (2.4 GHz spread spectrum transmission system receiver) is for compatible FH5/FH5U transmitters.
Other AM/FM/2.4 GHz transmitter cannot use.
●RX-492i designs for 1/10 scale Electric RC model cars or below.
Please do not use RX-492i for Nitro Car or bigger than 1/10 scale.
●To combine with devices compatible with SSL can be changed setting by transmitter CODE AUX function.
●Analog Servos is not compatible with SXR, SUR, SSR, SHR mode. Must use analog servos by NOR mode.
If using analog servos by SXR, SUR, SSR, SHR mode, the analog servos will be broken.
(Analog Servos: Hyper ERG series, RS-995, SX-165T, SPEC series, SRM series)
●BL-RACER, BL-FORCE, BL-SPORT, F3300, F3000, F2200, SBL-01/02/03CR cannot work by SXR, SUR,
SSR, and SHR mode. Must use ESC by NOR mode.
●2..4 GHz frequency band is not only for Radio Control. This frequency band is same as ISM (industrial,
scientific, and medical device) uses. There are some possible of interfering by the other devices as
Microwave, wireless Lan, digital cordless phone, audio device, gaming device, and VICS.
Also amateur radio uses same frequency band. Please take care of interfering from another devices.
In case of interfering to the radio station, please stop using and avoiding the interfere.
●Please check safe use and limit to use devices are possible to be interfered in RC circuit.
Also, please follow instruction by facility manager.
●In case of running behind the building and steel tower, transmission would be decline or out of control.
Please always operate in visible situation.
●Radio Law depends on each country. Imported transmitter or receiver from another countries might be illegal.
NAME OF PARTS, LED CONDITION INDICATOR, AND ANTENNA CONDITION
Receiving area
* Receiver condition can be checked by LED condition
LED
SSL/BIND：SSL/BIND Port
*BIND/SSL port must connect with BIND plug,
Receiver battery, and compatible devices with SSL
CH4：4ch AUX2
CH3：3ch AUX1
CH2：Throttle / TH (ESC / FET Electric Speed Controller)
BIND Plug Cable cover CH1：Steering / ST
*Please refer how to place receiver in another page.
SSL SYSTEM
●To combine with devices compatible with SSL can be changed setting by transmitter CODE AUX function.
●In case of using CODE AUX, please change AUX TYPE is [NOR] to [CODE5 or CODE10] in System.
To choose CODE5 or CODE10 depends on device which is compatible with CODE5 or CODE10.
*When using both ESC/ Speed Controller and Servo for SSL, please use Short Y-Harness (optional)
to connect to SSL port.
●About CODE AUX, please refer SSL system explanation on our HP. (www.sanwa-denshi.com)
INDICATOR FUNCTION
●RX-492i has indicator function. Indicator function can be used for checking receiver placement and
malfunction. The indicator function can be set with compatible transmitter. The transmitter can check
receiver signal condition from receiver. About setting of the indicator function, please refer the compatible
transmitter operation manual. Also, please check our website (www.sanwa-denshi.com) for checking
transmitter is compatible with indicator function or incompatible.

Please take care when using another manufacture connector.
In case of plugging in another connector forcefully,
it will be caused case broken or Poor connection.
How to Bind with Transmitter
●About BIND : each 2.4GHz transmitter has ID Number. The bind is tied ID Number with receiver.
If a receiver bind with a transmitter, the receiver will be worked by the transmitter.
1. Please set [RF mode] is [FH5/FH5U] in Transmitter System (Compatible with FH5/FH5U)
2. Turn on the transmitter, and set for other devices as response mode. Then, enter [BIND] to be bind mode.
3. Connect BIND plug in RX-492i BIND/SSL port. Then, turn on receiver.
*When you bind transmitter with the receiver, please connect battery in empty port. (In case of EP car, speed controller connect in CH2 port)
4. After RX-492i LED will be changed fast flashing blue from slow flashing blue, please take off BIND plug and restart RX-492i (Turn off receiver, then turn on).
In case of binding with second transmitter, the blue light will be blinking for each 0.2 seconds.
5. Please finish BIND mode on transmitter to use enter/back operation by touch pad. In case of binding with transmitter, LED on the receiver turn on blue.
Please operate device as servo to check BIND is completed.
* In case of turning off LED in the process or did not complete BIND setting, please reset binding form 2. in bind process.
BIND Plug
*Did not connect anything above picture
but please connect device as servos or
ESC / FET speed controller (except motor)
when you bind.
●About RX-492i Enter
RX-492i can store 2 transmitter ID Number. It is able to combine using individual transmitter which is different setting in endurance race .
If you bind with 2 different transmitter, the receiver store the different transmitter and can operate by transmitters without re-bind.
*CANNOT operate by the 2 different transmitter at the same time. 2 ID store system is only compatible transmitter. (Please refer SANWA HP)
- Throttle neutral position or operation quantities might be different each transmitter. Please adjust each transmitter setting to fit chassis linkage.
- MUST set fail-safe setting on each transmitter.
- Please set same RF mode, response mode, and safety link number as 1st transmitter when you bind 2nd transmitter.
If it was different mode, cannot bind with 2 transmitters.
*If 2nd transmitter was different RF mode, response mode, and safety link number from 1st transmitter, 1st transmitter ID No. is deleted and only write 2nd transmitter.
*If you bound 3rd transmitter, 1st transmitter ID No. will be deleted.
■ Default is not bind with transmitter. Please bind with transmitter before using.
WARNING
！
■ MUST use the receiver with bound transmitter.
PRECAUTION FOR SAFE USE
!
● Please mount the antenna area of receiver as high as possible in your model.
● Please place receiver apart from motor, metal parts, carbon parts, and ESC / FET Speed Controller (include leads).
● Please place"TOP" indication on receiver head upward.
● Please check surely connection devices as servos and switch with the receiver. In case of loosing connection during running,
it is possible to be out of control.
● The receiver is weak in extreme vibration, shock, and water. Please take care of vibration, shock, and water.
● Please mount the receiver apart from carbon and metal chassis. Also, please avoid to mount on center of chassis.
● Metal to metal contact in your model will generate to noise. It will interfere the receiver ability and is possible to be out of control.
● Please take noise killer condenser to brushless motor for RC car. If not taking noise killer condenser to brushless motor for RC car,
noise will be generated. It is possible to be out of control.
● Please use transmitter, receiver, servo, ESC / FET speed controller made by SANWA.
*In case of combination of using with devices except SANWA products, we could not take responsibility for any failures.
