Another suggestion is to connect the battery, switch and servos to the receiver and actually operate the radio on your workbench as you make programming changes. For further assistance you may also refer to your hobby dealer, or contact the Futaba Service Center at the web site, fax number or telephone number below:. Telephone am to pm Central time Monday through Friday : , extension 2.

If unable to resolve the problem, pack the system in its original container with a note enclosed and a thorough, accurate description of the problem s. Include the following in your note:. Futaba is not responsible for the results of use of this product by the customer or for any alteration of this product, including modification or incorporation into other devices by third parties.

Protect the environment by disposing of rechargeable batteries responsibly. Throwing rechargeable batteries into the trash or municipal waste system is illegal in some areas. If there is a special regulation for using 2. Please keep the model in sight at all times as large objects can block the RF signal.

Please keep in mind that objects such as wire fences and wire mesh will also cause loss of signal. Power requirement: 4. It will be helpful to understand the following terms before reading the rest of the manual.

The terms are not in alphabetical order, but are in a logical order that prepares the reader for understanding the next term. Reversing servo reversing - A function that allows the user to determine the direction of response of each servo. If, after hooking up the servos, a control on the model responds in the wrong direction, the user may change the servo's direction so the control responds correctly. Throw - When speaking of a control surface such as an elevator or aileron , the throw is the distance the surface moves.

Control surface throw is usually measured at the trailing edge of the surface and is expressed in inches or millimeters. Throw can also refer to the distance a servo arm or wheel travels. End point adjustment E. No matter where the dual rates are set, the servo will never travel beyond the limit set by the end point adjustment. Exponential - Normally, servos respond proportionally to control stick input from the transmitter e. Dual rates adjust the amount of servo travel. Exponentials determine where most of the travel will occur.

The object is never to have the receiver on by itself. Otherwise, the servos or control surfaces could be damaged, or in the case of electric-powered models, the motor may unexpectedly turn on causing severe injury.

Programming features include servo reversing and E. A on all channels, dual rates, exponentials and programmable mixing. A on all channels, dual rates, exponentials, throttle curve, pitch curve, throttle hold, and pit to rudder mixing REVO.

Full instructions on how to operate the controls are provided beginning on page H:Throttle — hold switch - This switch operates to hold the engine in the idling position and disengage it from the Throttle Stick.

It is commonly use to practice auto-rotation. Neck strap hook - Mounting point for optional neck strap. Trim levers all - Used to shift the neutral or center position of each servo as labeled in the diagram. Once either trim lever is operated, the trim position is displayed on the LCD screen. Also once either edit key is operated, all trim positions are displayed sequentially on the LCD screen.

Throttle trim does not affect the throttle servo when the throttle control stick is all the way up so idle r. Charging jack - Port for charging the transmitter batteries with the included battery charger. Throttle — cut button - To use the throttle-cut function, lower the throttle stick all the way, then push the throttle-cut button to fully close the carburetor and shut off the engine.

A:Trainer switch - Operates the trainer functions. To operate as a trainer switch the transmitter must be connected to another transmitter via. If your model has retractable landing gear, this is the control used to extend and retract the gear. Antenna - Radiates signals to the receiver. See page 9 for detail. Open the battery cover on the back of the transmitter and remove the transmitter battery. Remove the four transmitter rear case screws and remove the rear case.

Change the ratchet plate on the gimbal section to the smooth ratchet plate for helicopter use. When unplugging connectors, never pull on the wires.

Always pull on the plastic connector instead. Always mount the servos with the supplied rubber grommets. Do not over. Center the trims on the transmitter, then find the arm that will be perpendicular to the pushrod when placed on the servo.

Also make sure the controls do not require excess force to operate. If there is an objectionable buzzing sound coming from a servo, there is probably too much resistance in the control.

Find and correct the problem. Even if there is no servo damage, excess battery drain will result. Generally sandwich the frame by switch and switch cover and securely tighten the screws.

Different models might require different installations. In that case, please follow the model instruction manual. In addition, periodically check the wire during daily maintenance. These antennas have a diversity function to decrease the chance of a receiving error. In order to avoid this phenomenon, the RFS adopted a diversity antenna system. The two antennas must be kept as straight as possible.

Otherwise it will reduce the effective range. Larger models can have large metal objects that can attenuate the RF signal. In this case the antennas should be placed at both sides of the model. The antennas must be kept away from conductive materials, such as metal and carbon by at least a half inch.

The coaxial part of the antennas does not need to follow these guidelines, but do not bend it in a small radius. Keep the antennas away from the motor, ESC, and other noise sources as much as possible. For actual installation the receiver must be wrapped with a sponge or placed with floating material to protect it from vibration.

It is the most delicate radio component on-board the model and should be protected from vibration, shock and temperature extremes. If appropriate, waterproof the receiver by placing it in a plastic bag and closing the open end with a rubber band before wrapping it in foam. If moisture enters the receiver, intermittent operation or a failure may result.

Wrapping the receiver in a plastic bag also protects it from fuel and exhaust residue which, in some models, can work its way into the fuselage. Keep the antenna perpendicular to the transmitter's face to create a better RF condition for the receiver. Of course this depends on how you hold the transmitter, but in most cases, adjusting the transmitter antenna so that it is perpendicular to the face will give the best results.

Please adjust the transmitter antenna to the way you hold the transmitter. We have installed a special "Power Down Mode" for doing a ground range check. To activate the "Power Down Mode" please hold down the Mode key and then turn the transmitter switch on. During this mode, the RF power is reduced so the range test can be performed. In addition, when the mode is activated the transmitter gives users a warning with a beep sound every 3 seconds, and visual indication.
