6<Introduction>FLYING SAFETY WARNINGTo ensure the safety of yourself and others, please observe the following precautions: Have regular maintenance performed. Although your FMT-03 protects the model memories with non-volatile EEPROM memory (which does not require periodic replacement) and not a battery, the transmitter still should have regular checkups for wear and tear. We recommend sending your system to the Futaba Service Center annually during your non-ying-season for a complete checkup and service. Battery Charge the batteries! Always recharge the transmitter and receiver batteries before each ying session. A low battery will soon die potentially, causing loss of control and a crash. When you begin your ying session, reset your FMT-03’s built-in timer, and during the session pay attention to the duration of usage. Stop ying long before your batteries become low on charge. Do not rely on your radio’s low battery warning systems, intended only as a precaution, to tell you when to recharge. Always check your transmitter and receiver batteries prior to each ight. Where to Fly We recommend that you y at a recognized model airplane ying eld. You can nd model clubs and elds by asking your nearest hobby dealer, or in the US by contacting the Academy of Model Aeronautics. You can also contact the national Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA), which has more than 2,500 chartered clubs across the country.

25<Before Use>Receiver's Antenna InstallationThe FMR-03 has two antennas. In order to maximize signal reception and promote safe modeling Futaba has adopted a diversity antenna system. This allows the receiver to obtain RF signals on both antennas and y problem-free.To obtain the best results of the diversity function, please refer to the following instructions: 1. The two antennas must be kept as straight as possible. Otherwise it will reduce the effective range. 2. The two antennas should be placed at 90 degrees to each other. This is not a critical figure, but the most important thing is to keep the antennas away from each other as much as possible. Larger models can have large metal objects that can effect the RF signal. In this case the antennas should be placed at both sides of the model. Then the best RF signal condition is obtained at any flying attitude. 3. The antennas must be kept away from conductive materials, such as metal, carbon and fuel tank 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 tight radius. 4. Keep the antennas away from the motor, ESC, and other noise sources as much as possible. *The two antennas should be placed at 90 degrees to each other. *The illustration demonstrates how the antenna should be placed. *Install in a way that makes sure that the 2 antennas won't touch the ground. When an antenna touches the ground, there is danger which becomes control impossibility.Antenna*Must be kept as straight as possible.Coaxial cableFMR-03 ReceiverAntenna don’t touch the ground.

Avoid mounting the switch where it can be covered by engine oil and dust. In general, it is recommended to mount the power switch on the side of the fuselage that is opposite the mufer.Safety precautions when you install receiver and servosWARNINGConnecting connectorsBe sure to insert the connector until it stops at the deepest point.How to protect the receiver from vibration Wrap the receiver with something soft such as foam rubber to avoid vibration. Receiver's antennaNever cut the receiver's antenna. Do not bind the receiver's antenna with the cables for servos.Locate the receiver's antenna as far as possible from metals or carbon fiber components such as frames, cables, etc.*Cutting or binding the receiver's antenna will reduce the radio reception sensitivity and range, and may cause a crash.Servo throwAdjust your system so that pushrods will not bind or sag when operating the servos to the full extent.*If excessive force is continuously applied to a servo, the servo could be damaged due to force on the gear train and/or power consumption causing rapid battery drain. Mounting servosUse a vibration-proof rubber (such as rubber grommet) under a servo when mounting the servo on a servo mount. And be sure that the servo cases do not push directly to the metal parts such as servo mount.*If the servo case contacts the airframe directly, vibration will travel to and possibly damage the servo.

33<Basic Operation> Link procedure (FMT-03 ⇔FMR-03)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. When you purchase additional FMR-03 receivers, this procedure is necessary; otherwise the receiver will not work. Link procedure1. Place the transmitter and the receiver close to each other within half (0.5m) meter. 2. Turn on the transmitter. 3. Select [SYSTEM TYPE] at the Linkage menu and access the setup screen shown below by pushing the RTN button.4.Whenyouusetworeceiversononemodel,you must change from [SINGLE] to [DUAL]. *Only two receivers can be used.

In this case, even if the receiver's LED stays solid green, unfortunately the receiver might have established a link to one of other transmitters. This is very dangerous if you do not notice this situation. In order to avoid the problem, we strongly recommend you to doublecheck whether your receiver is really under control by your transmitter by giving the stick input and then checking the servo response.*Do not perform the linking operation when the drive motor is connected or the engine is running.*When you use two receivers, please be sure to setup a "primary" and "secondary" in the "dual" mode.*Telemetry function cannot be used for the 2nd receiver. * You must link one receiver at a time. If both power supplies to the receivers are switched on simultaneously, data is received incorrectly by the transmitter. * You cannot link three receivers.* Link is required when a system type is changed. * Linking is required whenever a new model is made. WARNINGAfter the linking is done, please cycle receiver power and check that the receiver to be linked is really under the control of the transmitter.Do not perform the linking procedure with motor's main wire connected or with the engine operating as it may result in serious injury.
35<Basic Operation>Range Testing Your R/C System It is extremely important to range check your models prior to each ying session. This enables you to ensure that everything is functioning as it should and to obtain maximum enjoyment from your time ying. The FMT-03 transmitter incorporates a system that reduces its power output and allows you to perform such a range check.Range check mode During this mode, the RF power output is reduced so the range test can be performed. In addition, when this mode is activated the right LED on the front of the transmitter starts blinking and the transmitter gives users a warning with a beeping sound every 3 seconds. The "Range check mode" continues for 90 seconds and after that the power will return to the normal level. To exit the "Range check mode" before the 90 seconds, select the "EXIT" at the screen and touch the RTN button again. This mode is available one time only so if you need to re-use this function the transmitter power must be cycled. NEVER start flying when the "Range check mode" is active.Should you require additional time to perform a range check, highlight Restart before your time expires and press the RTN button one time.Range check procedure1.Withthe"Rangecheckmode"on,walkaway from the model while simultaneously operatingthecontrols.Haveanassistantstand by the model to confirm that all controls are completely and correctly operational.

47<Functions of System Menu>S.BUS Servo Description of function of each parameter*There are some functions which can only be used with certain types of servos. • IDDisplays the ID of the servo whose parameters are to be read. It cannot be changed.• ChannelChannel of the S.BUS system is assigned to the servo. Always assign a channel before use.• ReverseThe direction in which the servo rotates can be changed.• Servo typeWhen “Retractable” is selected and the servo has been continuously stopped for 30 seconds, the dead band expands and unnecessary hold current due to external force is eliminated. When a new control signal enters, normal operation is resumed. When using the servo as a landing gear servo, select “Retractable”. Also adjust the servo travel to match the landing gear movement range.• Soft StartRestricts operation in the specified direction the instant the power is turned on. By using this setting, the first initial movement when the power is turned on slowly moves the servo to the specified position.• Stop Mode The state of the servo when the servo input signal is lost can be specified. The "Hold" mode setting holds the servo in its last commanded position even if using AM or FM system.• SmootherThis function changes smoothness of the servo operation relative to stick movement changes. Smooth setting is used for normal flight. Select the "OFF" mode when quick operation is necessary such as 3D.• Neutral OffsetThe neutral position can be changed. When the neutral offset is large value, the servo's range of travel is restricted on one side.• Speed ControlSpeeds can be matched by specifying the operating speed. The speed of multiple servos can be matched without being affected by motor fluctuations. This is effective for load torques below the maximum torque.However, note that the maximum speed will not be exceed what the servo is capable of even if the servos operating voltage is increased. • Dead bandThe dead band angle at stopping can be specified.[Relationship between dead band set value and servo operation]Small → Dead band angle is small and the servo is immediately operated by a small signal change.Large → Dead band angle is large and the servo does not operate at small signal changes.(Note) If the dead band angle is too small, the servo will operate continuously and the current consumption will increase and the life of the servo will be shortened.• Travel AdjustThe left and right travels centered about the neutral position can be set independently.• BoostThe minimum current applied to the internal motor when starting the servo can be set. Since a small travel does not start the motor, it essentially feels like the dead band was expanded. The motor can be immediately started by adjusting the minimum current which can start the motor.[Relationship between boost set value and servo operation]Small → Motor reacts less to a change and operation becomes smooth.Large → Initial response improves and output torque increases. However, if the torque is too large, operation will become rough.
48 <Functions of System Menu>• Boost ON/OFFOFF : The boost turns ON at the time of lower-demand operation. (In most cases)ON : The boost is always ON. (When quick operation is needed)• DamperThe characteristic when the servo is stopped can be set.When smaller than the standard value, the characteristic becomes an overshoot characteristic. If the value is larger than the standard value, the brake is applied before the stop position.Especially, when a large load is applied, overshoot, etc. are suppushed by inertia and hunting may occur, depending on the conditions. If hunting (phenomena which cause the servo to oscillate) occurs even though the Dead Band, Stretcher, Boost and other parameters are suitable, adjust this parameter to a value larger than the initial value.[Relationship between damper set value and servo operation]Small → When you want to overshoot. Set so that hunting does not occur.Large → When you want to operate so that braking is not applied. However, it will feel like the servo response has slowed down.(Note) If used in the hunting state, not only will the current consumption increase, but the life of the servo will also be shortened.• StretcherThe servo hold characteristic can be set. The torque which attempts to return the servo to the target position when the current servo position has deviated from the target position can be adjusted.This is used when stopping hunting, etc., but the holding characteristic changes as shown below.[Relationship between stretcher and servo operation]Small → Servo holding force becomes weaker.Large → Servo holding force becomes stronger.(Note) When this parameter is large, the current consumption increases.• BuzzerWhen the power supply of a servo is interrupted or a loss of signal from the transmitter, the buzzer sound of about 2.5Hz continues sounding from a servo. (Even when the signal output of a transmitter is lost, a buzzer becomes until the signal of a servo is outputted normally.) The transmitter has been turned OFF ahead of a servo power supply → The buzzer sound of about 1.25 Hz continues sounding to show that the servo power supply is still turned on.(Do not insert or remove the servo connector while the receiver power is ON.　A buzzer may sound by incorrect recognition.) *Buzzer sound is generated by vibrating the motor of a servo. Since a lot of current is consumed and a servo generates heat during buzzer sounds, please do not operate the feature more than needed or do not continue sounding a buzzer for a long time.
