[Range Test Procedure]
Have a friend hold the model, or place it on a stand where the wheels or prop cannot come in
contact with any object. Operate from a distance of about 100 feet. Be sure to check the move-
ment of each servo to make sure it follows the movement of the steering wheel and throttle trig-
ger. If the servos do not follow the commands from the transmitter or any type of interference is
detected, Do Not operate the model.
Do not operate when you are tired, not feeling well or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Your judgment is impaired and could result in a dangerous situation that may cause serious injury
to yourself and others.
of control and cause a very dangerous situation.
Make all adjustments to the radio control system with the engine not running, or the electric motor
disconnected.
If the engine is running or the motor is connected while adjustments are made, the model may run
out of control.
Remove the main battery source from electric powered models when they are not being used.
Should you accidentally leave the receiver switch on, the model could run out of control.
Do not touch the engine, motor, speed control or any part of the model that will generate heat
while running.

Storage and Disposal Safety Precautions
WARNING
At the end of a day's operation, store the system with NiCd battery discharged. Be sure to
recharge the system before it is used again.
You should fully discharge your system's batteries periodically to prevent a condition called "mem-
ory". For example, if you only make two runs in a day or you regularly use a small amount of a
battery's capacity, the memory effect can reduce the actual capacity even if the battery is charged
for the recommended amount of time.
Do not throw a battery into a fire. Do not disassemble or attempt to repair a battery pack.
Overheating, damage and acid leakage may lead to burns, loss of eyesight as well as numerous
other types of injuries. The electrolyte in batteries is a strong alkali. Should you get even the small-
est amount of the electrolyte in your eyes, Do Not rub. Wash immediately with water, and seek
medical attention at once. The electrolyte can cause blindness. If electrolyte comes in contact with
your skin or clothes, wash with water immediately.
Do not leave the radio system or models within the reach of small children.
A small child may accidentally operate the system. This could cause a dangerous situation and
injuries. Batteries can be very dangerous when mishandled and cause chemical damage.
CAUTION
Do not store your R/C system where it will be exposed to the following conditions.
• Extreme heat or coldness
• Direct sunlight
• Where humidity is high
• Where vibration is prevalent
• Where dust is prevalent
• Where there is steam and condensation
Storing your R/C system under adverse conditions could cause deformation and numerous other
problems with operation.
If the system will not be used for a long period of time, remove the batteries from the model and
store in a cool, dry place.
If the batteries are left in the model, electrolyte may leak and damage the model.
<Battery Recycling>
A used battery is valuable resource. Insulate the battery terminals and dispose of the battery by taking it to a battery
recycling center.
Beginners should receive instructions regarding safety and operation from an experienced
modeler.
Always use only genuine Futaba transmitters, receivers, servos, and electronic speed controls,
along with other optional parts and components.
Futaba will not be held responsible for damages caused by other than genuine Futaba parts and
components. Use only genuine Futaba parts and components listed in the instruction manual and
catalog.
Do not expose plastic parts to fuel, motor spray, waste oil or exhaust.
The fuel, motor spray, waste oil and exhaust will penetrate and damage the plastic.
<Battery Electrolyte>
The electrolyte in batteries is a strong alkali. Should you get even the smallest amount of the electrolyte in your
eyes, DO NOT RUB. Wash immediately with water and seek medical attention at once. The electrolyte can cause
blindness. If electrolyte comes in contact with your skin or clothes, wash with water immediately.

How to Link
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 (T-FHSS; and transmitter) and no
further linking is necessary unless the receiver needs to be used with another transmitter. (For
T/R set, the link is already done at factory.)
5 During countdown, push and hold the receiver tact switch. The LED will begin to blink
red. After the receiver LED switches from blinking red and green → red steady light,
release the tact switch of the receiver. If the receiver LED lights green, linking was
successful. Also check servo operation.
