Thank you for purchasing a Futaba R6308SBT FASST-2.4GHz compatible receiver. The R6308SBT receiver features bi-directional communication
with a telemetry receiver unit (option) using the S.Bus2 port. Using the S.Bus2 port an impressive array of telemetry sensors may be utilized. It also
includes both standard PWM output ports and S.Bus output ports. This receiver distinguishes automatically FASST-2.4-GHz system 7ch or Multi-
ch/10ch / 8ch mode at the time of link operation with a transmitter. And high speed mode can be chosen.

Usage precaution
󾛽WARNING
󾛻 Changes or modification not expressly approved by the
party responsible for compliance could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.
󾛹 The R6308SBT receiver should be protected from vibra-
tion by foam rubber, Velcro or similar mounting meth-
ods. Protect from moisture.
󾛻 Keep away from conductive materials to avoid short cir-
cuits.
󾛻 Don't connect to Extra Voltage before turning on a receiv-
er.
Antenna installation precaution
󾛻 Do not cut or bundle the receiver antenna wire.
󾛻 Do not bend the coaxial cable. It causes damage.
󾛻 The antennas must be mounted in such a way to assure
they are strain relieved.
󾛹 Keep the antenna as far away from the motor, ESC and
other noise sources as you possibly can.
󾛹 Be sure that the two antennas are placed at 90 degrees to
each other.
•TheR6308SBThastwoantennas.Inordertomaximizesignal
reception and promote safe modeling Futaba has adopted a diversity
antenna system. This allows the receiver to obtain RF signals on both
antennas and fly problem-free.
Antenna installation for carbon fuselage
󾛽WARNING
󾛹 You must leave 30mm at the tip of the antenna fully ex-
posed. The exposed antenna should be secured so that it
cannot move around or back inside of your aircraft.
(Typical installation)
When S.BUS is used
* Set the channel of S.BUS servos by using an SBC-1 channel changer, CIU-
2 USB serial interface or the programming software resident in the 18MZ
transmitter.
* Can also be used together with conventional servos. However, conventional
servos cannot be used by the S.BUS output.
* When using servos with a remote battery pack, use S.BUS Hub with Cable
(2-way/remote battery pack use).
Please refer to the instruction manual of S.BUS Hub with Cable (2-way/re-
mote battery pack use) for the connection method.
*Turn on the power in transmitter→receiver order. In addition, always check
the operation of all the servos before ight.
*Do not insert or remove the servo connector while the receiver power is ON.
󾛽WARNING
󾛻 Do not perform the linking procedure while the motor's
main wire connected or the engine is operating as it may
result in serious injury.
󾛹 When the linking is complete, please cycle the receiver
power and ensure the receiver is properly linked to the
transmitter.
󾛹 Please power up your system in this order. Transmitter
first, followed by the receiver.

Re-link(ID set)
• If there are many FASST systems turned on in close proximity, your receiver
might have difficulty establishing a link to your transmitter. This is a rare
occurrence. However, should another FASST transmitter/receiver be linking at
the same time, your receiver could link to the wrong transmitter. This is very
dangerous if you do not notice this situation. In order to avoid the problem,we
strongly recommend you to double check whether your receiver is really under
control by your transmitter.
Channel Modes
The R6308SBT is capable of changing its channel allocations as
described in the table below.
1 Press and hold down the Link/Mode button on the R6308SBT receiver.
2 Turn the receiver on while holding down the Link/Mode button.
After power up, the button can be released.
3 The LED should now be blinking red in one of the patterns described
by the chart below.
4 Each press of the Mode/Link button advances the receiver to
the next mode.
5 When you reach the mode that you wish to operate in, press
and hold the Mode/Link button for more than 2 seconds.
6 Once locked into the correct mode the LED will change to a
solid color.
7 Please cycle the receiver(s) power off and back on again after
changing the Channel Mode.
S.BUS2
S.BUS2 extends S.BUS and supports bidirectional communication.
Sensors are connected to the S.BUS2 port. Sensor information is
transmitted to telemetry receiver unit by which the option is carried out.
*Only S.Bus2 capable devices may be connected to the S.Bus2 port.
Standard S.Bus servos and gyros should not be connected to the S.Bus2
port.
High speed mode / Telemetry ON, OFF
R6308SBT can perform the change of high speed mode and a normal
mode. A response becomes high-speed, however the high speed mode
cannot use a sensor. Only receiver battery voltage transmits.
