Applicable systems: Futaba FASSTest-2.4GHz system-
transmitter
If R7003SB does not use S.BUS/S.BUS2 system, it can
perform only operation of 3 channels. However, if S.BUS/
S.BUS2 system is used, use of the maximum channel of
a transmitter can be performed. You have to use S.BUS/
S.BUS2 servo, in order to use S.BUS/S.BUS2 system.

* Be sure that when using ESCs regulated output the capacity of the ESC must meet your usage condition.
Thank you for purchasing a Futaba R7003SB FASSTest-2.4GHz compatible
receiver. The R7003SB receiver features bi-directional communication with a
FASSTest Futaba transmitter using the S.BUS2 port. Using the S.BUS2 port
an impressive array of telemetry sensors may be utilized. R7003SB has a
merit which acquires the information from the model on ight by connecting an
optional telemetry sensors. It also includes both standard PWM output ports and
S.BUS output ports. 4 ports of R7003SB can choose an output channel from the
11 modes.

FASSTest
FASSTest is a bidirectional communication system between the R7003SB receiver and
FASSTest capable transmitters. Multiple optional telemetry sensors may be connected to
the S.BUS2 on the receiver and that data is in turn displayed on the transmitter.
*Please see your transmitters operation manual to configure transmitter to operate with
telemetry sensors.

Turnonthepowerintransmitter →receiver order. In addition, always check
the operation of all the servos before flight.
Do not insert or remove the servo connector while the receiver power is
ON.
