Due to unforeseen changes in production procedures, the information contained in this manual is subject to change without notice. Support and Service: It is recommended to have your Futaba equipment serviced annually during your hobby’s “off season” to ensure safe operation.
Page 5: Application, Export, And Modification
The CE symbol is applied to all such equipment, and indicates that it fulfils the currently valid European norms. An exclamation mark is also applied to radio transmitting equipment as an indication that the approved frequencies are not uniform throughout Europe. This symbol is used in all the countries of the European Union. Other nations such as Switzerland, Norway, Estonia and Sweden have also adopted this directive.

Page 7 LiPo Battery Safety and Handling instructions Safety Notes: • Do not submerge the battery in water or any other liquid. • Do not heat or incinerate the battery, or place it in a microwave oven. • Do not short-circuit the pack or charge it with reversed polarity. • Do not subject the battery to physical pressure; do not deform or throw it. • Do not solder directly to the battery. • Do not modify or open the battery. • Do not charge the battery to a voltage higher than 4.2 Volts per cell, or discharge it to a voltage lower than 2.5 Volts per cell. • LiPo batteries may only be charged using a charger designed expressly for this purpose. Never connect the battery directly to a mains PSU. • Never charge or discharge the battery in direct sunshine, or close to a heater or fire. • Do not use the battery in any location that is subject to severe static discharges. • Any of these errors may cause the battery to be damaged, explode or catch fire. • Keep the battery well out of the reach of children. If electrolyte should escape, keep it well away from fire; the substance is highly inflammable and may burst into flames. • Avoid the fluid electrolyte contacting your eyes. If this should occur, rinse the affected part immediately with plenty of clean water before seeking medical attention. •...

●When using S.BUS/S.BUS2, special settings and mixes in your transmitter may be unnecessary. ●The S.BUS/S.BUS2 servos memorize the number of channels themselves. (settable with the FX-32) ●The S.BUS/S.BUS2 system and conventional system (receiver conventional CH used) can be mixed.
Page 27: S.bus Wiring Example
S.BUS Wiring example *When using 8/SB as S.BUS, you have to set CH Mode of the mode B or mode D. Since the channel number is memorized by the S.BUS itself, any connector can be used. When Battery the SBD-1 (sold separately) is used, ordinary S.BUS Port servos can be used with the S.BUS system.

Page 36: Link Procedure (T14Sg/R7008Sb)
Link procedure (FX-32/R7008SB) 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.
Page 37 10. When a telemetry function is enabled, the receiving interval (down-link interval) of sensor data can be changed. If a DL interval is increased, the response of the sensor data display becomes slower, but stick response will improve. Initial value: 1.0s Adjustment range: 0.1s~2.0s * If there are many FASSTest systems turned on around your receiver, it might not link to your transmitter.
Page 38: Range Testing Your R/C System
It is extremely important to range check your models prior to each flying session. This enables you to ensure that everything is functioning as it should and to obtain maximum enjoyment from your time flying. The FX-32 transmitter incorporates a system that reduces its power output and allows you to perform such a range check.
