equipment.

For Your Safety As Well As That Of Others

Operation Precautions

Warning

Prohibited Procedures

Do not operate two or more models

on the same frequency at the same

time.

Operating two or more models at same time on the

same frequency will cause interference and loss of

control of both models.

AM, FM (PPM) and PCM are different methods

of modulation. Nonetheless the same frequency

can not be used at the same point in time, regard-

less of the signal format.

Do not operate outdoors on rainy

days , run through puddles of water or

when visibility is limited.

Should any type of moisture (water or snow) enter any

compoent of the system, erratic opreation and loss of

control may occur.

Do not operate in the following

places.

-Near other sites where other radio control

activity may occur.

-Near people or roads.

-On any pond when rowboats are present.

-Near high tension power lines or communi-

cation broadcasting antennas.

Interference could cause loss of control . Improper in-

stallation of your Radio Control System in your model

could result in serious injury.

Do not operate this R/C system when

you are tired, not feeling well or under

the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Your judgment is impaired and could result in a dan-

gerous situation that may cause serious injury to

yourself as well as others.

Mandatory Procedures

Extend the transmit-

ter antenna to its full

length.

If the transmitter antenna is not

fully extended the operating

range of the radio will be re-

duced.

Check the transmitter antenna to be

sure it is not loose.

If the transmitter antenna works loose, or is discon-

nected while the model is running signal transmission

will be lost. This will cause you to lose control of the

model..

Always perform a operating range

check prior to use.

Problems with the radio control system as well as im-

proper installation in a model could cause loss of con-

trol.

(Simple range test method)

Have a friend hold the model, or clamp it down or

place it where the wheels or prop can not come in

contact with any object. Walk away and check to

see if the servos follow the movement of the con-

trols on the transmitter. Should you notice any ab-

normal operation, Do not operate the model. Also

check to be sure the model memory matches the

model in use.

For Your Safety As Well As That Of Others

Caution

Prohibited Procedures

Mandatory Procedures

Do not touch the engine, motor, speed control or any part of

the model that will generate heat while the model is operating

or immediately after its use.

These parts may be very hot and can cause serious burns.

Turning on the power switches.

Always check the throttle trigger on the

transmitter to be sure it is at the neutral

position.

1. Turn on the transmitter power switch.

2. Turn on the receiver or speed control

power switch.

Turning off the power switches

Always be sure the engine is not

running or the motor is stopped.

1. Turn off the receiver or speed control power switch.

2. Then turn off the transmitter power switch.

If the power switches are turned off in the opposite

order the model may unexpectedly run out of control

and cause a very dangerous situation.

When making adjustments to

the model do so with the en-

gine not running or the motor

disconnected.

You may unexpectedly lose control and

create a dangerous situation.

When operating your model

always display a frequency

flag on your transmitter an-

tenna.

When adjusting the transmitter on land while preparing to run (cruise), take measures

so that the wind will not knock over the transmitter.

If the transmitter is knocked over, the throttle stick may be accidentally set to the operating position and you may

lose control.

(Fail safe function) ---H.R.S or PCM mode only

Before running (cruising), check the fail safe function.

Check Method;

Before starting the engine, check the fail safe function as follows:

1) Turn on the transmitter and receiver power switches.

2) Wait at least one minute, then turn off the transmitter power switch. (The transmitter automatically transfers the fail

safe data to the receiver every minute.)

3) Check if the fail safe function moves the servos to the preset position when reception fails.

The fail safe function is a safety feature that minimizes set damage by moving the servos to a preset position when

reception fails. However, if set to a dangerous position, it has the opposite effect. When the reverse function was used

to change the operating direction of a servo, the fail safe function must be reset.

Setting example: Throttle idle or brake position

Nicad Battery Handling Precautions

(Only when Nicad batteries are used)

Warning

Mandatory Procedures

Always check to be sure your batter-

ies have been charged prior to oper-

ating the model.

Should the battery go dead while the model is operat-

ing loss of control will occur and create a very danger-

ous situation.

To recharge the transmitter Nicad ,

use the special charger made for this

purpose.

Overcharging could cause the Nicad battery to over-

heat, leak or explode. This may lead to fire, burns,

loss of sight and many other type's of injuries.

Caution Prohibited Items

Do not use commercial AA

size Nicad batteries.

Quick charging may cause the

battery contacts to overheat and

damage the battery holder.

Do not short circuit the Nicad battery

terminals.

Causing a short circuit across the battery terminals

may cause abnormal heating, fire and burns.

Do not drop the Nicad battery or ex-

pose it to strong shocks or vibrations.

The battery may short circuit and overheat, electrolyte

may leak out and cause burns or chemical damage.

When the model is not being used,

always remove or disconnect the

Nicad battery .

Should the battery be left connected this could create

a dangerous situation if someone accidentally turns

on the receiver power switch. Loss of control would

occur.

For Your Safety As Well As That Of Others

Storage and Disposal Precautions

Warning

Prohibited Procedures

Do not leave the radio system or

models within the reach of small chil-

dren.

A small child may accidentally operate the system,

this could cause a dangerous situation and injuries.

Nicad batteries can be very dangerous when mis-

handled and cause chemical damage.

Do not throw Nicad batteries into a

fire. Do not expose Nicad batteries to

extreme heat. Also do not disas-

semble or modify a Nicad battery

pack.

Overheating and breakage will cause the electrolyte

to leak from the cells and cause skin burns, loss of

sight as well as other injuries.

Mandatory Procedures

When the system will not be used for

any length of time store the system

with batteries in a discharged state.

Be sure to recharge the batteries prior

to the next time the system is used.

If the batteries are repeatedly recharged in a slightly

discharged state the memory effect of the nicad bat-

tery may considerably reduce the capacity . A reduc-

tion in operating time will occur even when the batter-

ies are charged for the recommended time.

The electrolyte in Nicad batteries is a strong alkali. Should you get even the

smallest amount of the electrolyte in your eyes, DO NOT RUB, wash immedi-

ately with water, seek medical attention at once. The electrolyte can cause blind-

ness. If electrolyte comes in contact with your skin or clothes, wash with water

immediately.

Caution

Prohibited Procedures

Do not store your R/C system in the

following places.

- Where it is extremely hot or cold.

- Where the system will be exposed to direct

sunlight.

- Where the humidity is high.

-Where vibration is prevalent.

-Where dust is prevalent.

-Where the system would be exposed to

steam and condensation.

Storing your R/C system under adverse conditions

could cause deformation and numerous problems

with opreation.

Mandatory Procedure

If the system will not be used for a

long period of time remove the batter-

ies from the transmitter and model

and store in a cool dry place.

If the batteries are left in the transmitter electrolyte

may leak and damage the transmitter. This applies to

the model also, remove the batteries from it also to

prevent damage.

A used Nicad battery is valuable resource. Insulate the battery terminals and

dispose the battery by taking it to a battery recycling center.

For Your Safety As Well As That Of Others

Other Precautions

Caution

Prohibited Procedures

Do not expose plastic parts to fuel,

motor spray, waste oil or exhaust.

The fuel, motor spray, waste oil and exhaust will pen-

etrate and damage the plastic.

Always use only genuine Futaba

transmitters, receivers, servos, FET

amps (electronic speed

controls),Nicad batteries and other

optional accessories.

Futaba will not be responsible for problems caused by

the use of other than Futaba genuine parts. Use the

parts specified in the instruction manual and catalog.

Mandatory Procedures

Before Using

- High Response System (H.R.S. system)

When used with the H.R.S. system, a speed of triple that of an FM system at average

response is realized. (Comparison with other Futaba products) The T3PK transmitter

compatible with the H.R.S. system, PCM1024 system, and PPM (FM) system.

- 128x64 dot large graphic LCD/with backlighting

EXP curve, throttle curve, servo view, and other graph display and function selection

can batch display simple menus and function setup items, and data setup is easy.

Backlighting that can be turned ON/OFF also improves recognition at indoor cir-

cuits,

etc.

- 10 models memory/+ 10 models by using a data pack

Model names can use up to 10 letters, numbers, and symbols so that easily under-

stood

names can be set. Model copy function simplifies creation of a model memory with

different fine setups. An additional 10 models memory can be added by using the

optional data pack (DP-16K).

- Two function selection modes: Menu selection and direct call

Setup screens are called from a menu screen. The menu screen can be selected from

among 3 levels (LV1/LV2/LV3) to match the level of use.

Frequently used (high urgency) functions can be quickly called by assigning them to

direct call buttons. (6 functions)

- Brake mixing for large cars (BRAKE-MIX)

Brake mixing of the front and rear wheels of 1/5GP cars, etc. has delay and balance

adjustment functions.

- Second dual rate (2ND D/R)

Steering angle can be switched with one touch while running.

- Anti-skid Braking System (A.B.S.)

This function applies the brakes so that the tires of gasoline engine cars, etc. do not

their grip on the road even when braking at corners.

- Throttle acceleration (TH-ACCEL)

Gasoline engine cars have a time lag before the clutch and brakes are connected. The

TH-ACCEL function minimizes this time lag.

- Throttle speed (TH-SPEED)

Sudden trigger operation on slippery roads only spins the wheels unreasonably and

does not accelerate smoothly. Setup the throttle speed function allows smooth and

enjoyable operation while at the same time reducing battery consumption.

Before Using

Features

Before Using

- Start function (AT-START)

When the throttle trigger is set to full throttle simultaneously with starting on slippery

roads, the wheels spin and the vehicle does not accelerate (start). Setup the start

function allows smooth starting.

Installation

Installation Safety Precautions

Warning

Connector Connections

Be sure the receiver, servo, crystal

and connectors are fully and firmly

connected.

If vibration from the model cause a connector to work

loose while the model is in operation. You may lose

control .

Electronic speed control

Install the heat sinks where they will

not come in contact with aluminum,

carbon fiber or other parts that con-

duct electricity.

If the FET Amp (Electronic speed control) heat sinks

touch other materials that conduct electricity a short

circuit could occur. This could result in loss of control

and damage to the system.

Receiver Vibration Damping and

Waterproofing

(Car)

Dampen the vibration to the receiver

by mounting to the chassis or mount-

ing plate with thick double sided tape

in electric powered models. In gas

powered models wrap the receiver in

foam and mount it where the vibration

is the least prevalent.

(Boat)

Dampen the vibration to the receiver

by wrapping it in foam. Waterproof by

placing it in plastic bag or watertight

radio box in model.

If the receiver is subjected to strong vibration or shock

erratic or loss of control may occur. If any moisture

comes in contact the receiver and servos you may

expertise the same result as well as damage to the

system.

Receiver Antenna

Do not cut or bundle the receiver an-

tenna

Do not bundle the receiver antenna

together with the servo lead wires

Keep the receiver antenna at least 1

inch away from the motor and battery

and wires that handle heavy current

loads..

Cutting, bundling or routing the receiver antenna near

any devise that produce noise will reduce the operat-

ing range of the system and result in loss of control.

*Also route the receiver antenna away from metal,

carbon fiber and other parts that conduct electric-

ity. These parts can transmit high frequency noise.

Servo Throw

Operate each servo over its full stroke

and be sure the linkage does not bind

or is loose.

The continuous application of unreasonable force to a

servo may cause damage and excessive battery

drain.

Servo Installation

When you install the servos always

use the rubber grommets provided in

servo hardware bags. Mount the ser-

vos so they do not directly come in

contact with the mount.

If the servo case comes in direct contact with the

mount vibration will be directly transmitted to the

servo.

If this condition continues for a long time the servo

may be damaged and control will be lost.

Motor Noise Suppression

Always install capacitors to suppress

noise when electric motors are used.

If capacitors are not properly installed you could ex-

perience erratic operation and reduced range as well

as loss of control.

Other Noise Suppression Methods

Be sure there are no metal parts in

your model which under vibration can

come in contact with other metal

parts.

Metal to metal contacts under vibration will omit a high

frequency noise that will effect the receivers perfor-

mance. You could experience erratic operation and

reduced range as well as loss of control.

Initial Set-Up

Preparations (Transmitter)

Before setting the transmitter functions, check and set items 1 to 3 below.

(Display when power switch turned on)

When the power switch is turned on, the currently selected model number is dis-

played. Check if this number is the model number you want to set-up. To change the

model number, use the Model Select function (page ).

Turn on the transmitter power.

1. RF Output Check

If signals are output normally, RF output monitor "RF"

will be displayed on the screen.

If RF is not displayed, check if the transmitter crystal and

RF module are installed.

If the transmitter is abnormal or faulty, contact your

Futaba dealer.

The model number is displayed.

(Start screen)

"RF"

Initial Set-Up

2. Modulation Mode Check

The T3PK transmitter output signal format can be

changed to match the type of receiver. Check if the

modulation mode is set to match the receiver used.

When using an FM receiver (e.g., R133F), the modula-

tion mode must be set to PPM. When using a PCM re-

ceiver (e.g., R113iP), the modulation mode must be set

to PCM. When using a H.R.S receiver (e.g., R203HF),

the modulation mode must be set to HRS. If this setting

is incorrect, change it with the HRS/PCM/PPM Select

(page ) function.

(PPM)

3. Trims Initial Set-Up

- Steering trim (DT1) check

At initial set-up, steering trim is assigned to digital trim

DT1 above the steering wheel. Operate the DT1 lever

and check if the steering trim display on the screen

changes. After checking the trim, set the trim display to

the center (N) position.

- Throttle trim (DT2) check

At initial set-up, throttle trim is assigned to digital trim

DT2 at the left side of the steering wheel. Operate the

DT2 lever and check if the throttle trim display on the

screen changes. After checking the trim, set the trim

display to the center (N) position.

Initial Set-Up

(Set-Up Procedure When Installed In a Car)

When installing the servos in a car, performing function set-up in the following order

is recommended.

1. Perform step 3. Trims Initial Set-Up of Preparations on the

preceding page.

2. Set the servo direction of operation using the Reverse

function. (Page )

The servo installation method and linkage direction depends

on the kit. Therefore, the servo operation direction may have

to be reversed relative to transmitter operation. Before in-

stalling the servo, check the operating direction and set it us-

ing the Reverse function.

3. Set the subtrim and adjust the servo neutral point. (Page )

4. Set the trigger travel by adjusting the throttle trigger me-

chanical ATL to you liking. (Page )

5. Set EPA of each channel and adjust the servo throw

(travel). (Pages )

- Steering dual rate (DL1) check

At initial set-up, steering dual rate is assigned to grip

dial DL1 (upper) at the grip of the transmitter. Operate

the DL1 dial and check if the D/R value displayed on

the screen changes. After checking D/R, set the steer-

ing dual rate to 100%.

- Throttle ATL (DL2) check

At initial setting, throttle ATL is assigned to grip dial

DL2 (lower) at the grip of the transmitter. Operate the

DL2 dial and check if the ATL value displayed on the

screen changes. After checking ATL, set throttle ATL

to 100%.

Functions

End point adjuster/EPA (All channels)

Use this when performing steering left and right steering angle adjustments, throttle

high side/brake side operation amount adjustment, and channel 3 servo up side/down

side operation amount adjustment during linkage.

- Corrects the maximum steering angle and left and right steering angles when there

is a difference in the turning radius due to the characteristics, etc. of the vehicle.

Maximum steering angle

The EPA function basically determines the maximum steering angle of each channel.

The functions shown below may have been adjusted or the operating range set by

EPA function may be exceeded. Check the linkage each time the following functions

are adjusted.

- Sub trim (all channels)

- Program mixing slave side (all channels)

- Tilt mixing (steering, channel 3)

- Idle up (throttle)

- Throttle preset (throttle)

ATL trim

ATL trim allows adjustment of the brake side operation amount during operation.

Therefore, when the operating angle is adjusted with throttle EPA, ATL trim must

also be taken into account.

Remark

When the steering angle is insufficient even though EPA is increased to maximum

(120%), the steering angle can be increased somewhat by using program mixing.

(Setup example: See page .)

WARNING

! Make sure that the knuckle stopper is not contacted

during steering operation and that unreasonable force

is not applied to the servo during other channel opera-

tion.

If unreasonable force is applied to the servo horn at

the knuckle stopper during steering operation, the

servo may malfunction and the model may run out of

control.

Decide the EPA value at the

contact point.

Caution!

Be sure that the steering

servo does not howl.

Throttle speed/TH-SPEED (Throttle system)

Sudden trigger operation on a slippery road only

causes the wheels to spin and the vehicle cannot ac-

celerate smoothly. Setting the throttle speed func-

tion reduces wasteful battery consumption while at

the same time permitting smooth, enjoyable opera-

tion.

Operation

Throttle servo (amp) operation is delayed so that the drive wheels will not spin even

if the trigger is operated more than necessary. This delay function is not performed

when the trigger is returned and at brake operation.

- Low side throttle speed (See [Operation range setup].)

Use when adjusting the speed from the neutral position to the set point.

- High side throttle speed (See [Operation range setup].)

Use when adjusting the high side speed from the set point.

Remark: Regarding the throttle speed set value; the actual delay value varies

depending on the system (HRS, PCM, PPM). The delay when the HRS system is used is approximately 1/

3 that of the PCM and PPM systems.

Switch setting

Use PS1, PS2, or PS3 to switch the throttle speed function ON/OFF.

Functions

A.B.S. Function

When the brakes are applied while cornering with a 4 Wheel

Drive or other type of vehicle, understeer may occur. The

generation of understeer can be eliminated and corners can

be smoothly cleared by using this function.

Operation

- When the brakes are applied, the throttle servo will pulse

intermittently. This will have the same effect as pumping

the brakes in a full size car.

- The brake return amount, pumping cycle, and brake duty

can be adjusted.

- The region over which the ABS is effective can be set ac-

cording to the steering operation. (Mixing function)

Without A.B.S.

With A.B.S.

Switch Setting

The A.B.S. function ON/OFF switch can be set with the function select switch func-

tion. (Page ) PS1, PS2, or PS3 can be selected.

Dial / Trim Setting

The brake return amount (AB.P), delay amount (ABS.D) and cycle (CYCL) can be

controlled with grip dial DL1, DL2 or digital trim DT3, etc. with the function select

dial function. (Page )

Operation Display

When the A.B.S. function is activated, the LED flashes.

Fail Safe Unit

When the 3PK is used with the Futaba fail safe unit (FSU-1), it will operate as de-

scribed below.

- When the FSU-1 is connected to the throttle channel, and the A.B.S. function has

been activated, the FSU-1 LED will flash each time the servo operates. The reason

for this is that the FSU-1 responds to sudden data changes caused by A.B.S. function

pumping operation. It does not mean that the fail safe function is activated. The servo

will not be affected.
