Symbols Explanation Danger Indicates a procedure which could lead to a dangerous situation and may cause death or serious injury if ignored and not performed properly. Warning Indicates procedures which may lead to dangerous situations and could cause death or serious injury as well as superficial injury and physical damage. Caution Indicates procedures that may not cause serious injury, but could lead to physical damage. Symbols: ; Prohibited ; Mandatory 2.4GHz System Precautions Warning Prohibited Procedures Special attention should be paid before turning on the system while other cars are running or other airplanes are flying because the 2.4GHz RC system could potentially affect them. Caution Mandatory Procedures Always use R603FF under the following conditions; Power supply: 6V Nicd battery (PPM/HRS mode) Servo: 6V type Futaba Digital Servo (HRS mode) If these conditions are not followed, control may be impossible or the servo may be damaged. Operation Precautions Warning Do not operate outdoors on rainy days , run through puddles of water, or use when visibility is limited. Should any type of moisture (water or snow) enter any component of the system, erratic operation and loss of control may occur. Do not operate this R/C system when you are tired, not feeling well or under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Do not operate in the following places. -Near people or roads. -On any pond when boats are present. -Near high tension power lines or communication broadcasting antennas. Interference could cause loss of control. Improper installation of your Radio Control System in your model could result in serious injury. Your judgment is impaired and could result in a dangerous situation that may cause serious injury to yourself as well as others. Mandatory Procedures Adjust the antenna vertically to the ground. Otherwise, the operating range may become shorter. Always perform an operating range check prior to use. For Your Safety As Well As That Of Others Prohibited Procedures Problems with the radio control system as well as improper installation in a model could cause loss of control. Simple range test method; Have a friend hold the model, or clamp it down or place it where the wheels or prop cannot come in contact with any object. Walk away and check to see if the servos follow the movement of the controls on the transmitter. Should you notice any abnormal operation, do not operate the model. Also check to be sure the model memory matches the model in use. Caution Prohibited Procedures Never hold only the antenna. Hold the grip handle, otherwise the antenna may be damaged. 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. Mandatory Procedures When making adjustments to the model, do so with the engine not running or the motor disconnected. You may unexpectedly lose control and create a dangerous situation. (Turning on the power switches) Always check the throttle stick 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. For Your Safety As Well As That Of Others 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. (Fail safe function) ---when using HRS mode 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. Setting example: Throttle idle or brake position NiCd Battery Handling Precautions (Only when NiCd batteries are used) Warning Always check to be sure your batteries have been charged prior to operating the model. To recharge the transmitter and/or receiver NiCd batteries, use the special charger made for this purpose. Should the battery go dead while the model is operating, loss of control will occur and create a very dangerous situation. Overcharging could cause the NiCd battery to overheat, leak or explode. This may lead to fire, burns, loss of sight and many other types of injuries. When the model is not being used, always remove or disconnect the NiCd battery. Leaving the battery connected could create a dangerous situation if someone accidentally turns on the receiver power switch. Loss of control would occur. 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 NiCd battery may considerably reduce the capacity. A reduction in operating time will occur even when the batteries are charged for the recommended time. Caution Prohibited Items Do not throw NiCd batteries into a fire. Do not expose NiCd batteries to extreme heat. Also do not disassemble or modify a NiCd 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. Prohibited Items Do not use commercial AA size NiCd batteries. Quick charging may cause the battery contacts to overheat and damage the battery holder. Special Charger For Your Safety As Well As That Of Others Mandatory Procedures Use prohibited NiCd AA size batteries. Do not short circuit the NiCd battery terminals. Do not drop the NiCd battery or expose it to strong shocks or vibrations. The battery may short circuit and overheat. Electrolyte may leak out and cause burns or chemical damage. Shock Prohibited Causing a short circuit across the battery terminals may result in abnormal heating, fire and burns.The electrolyte in NiCd 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. Storage and Disposal Precautions Warning Prohibited Procedures Do not leave the radio system or models within the reach of small children. For Your Safety As Well As That Of Others A small child may accidentally operate the system. This could cause a dangerous situation and injuries. NiCd batteries can be very dangerous when mishandled and cause chemical damage. 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. Mandatory Procedure If the system will not be used for a long period of time, remove the batteries 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. -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 operations. A used NiCd battery is valuable resource. Insulate the battery terminals and dispose of the battery by taking it to a battery recycling center. 10 Other Precautions Caution 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. Mandatory Procedures Always use only genuine Futaba transmitters, receivers, servos, FET amps (electronic speed controls),NiCd batteries and other optional accessories. Futaba will not be responsible for problems caused by the use of other than genuine Futaba parts. Use the parts specified in the instruction manual and catalog.

Transmitter charging LED Cord to transmitter charging jack When charging the NT8F700B NiCd battery with the special charger, allow about 15 hours for charging. If the transmitter has not been used for some time, cycle the battery by charging and discharging it two or three times. Over current protection The transmitter charging circuit is equipped with an over current protection circuit. If the battery is charged with a quick charger for other than digital proportional R/C sets, it may not be fully charged. 18 Warning Plugging the charger into the wrong outlet may result in an explosion, sparking, or fire. Do not insert and remove the charger when your hands are wet. It may cause an electric shock. Always use the special charger or a quick charger for digital proportional R/C sets to charge a digital proportional R/C set NiCd battery. Overcharging a NiCd battery can result in burns, fire, injuries, or loss of sight due to overheating, breakage, or electrolyte leakage. Use the special charger. Caution Never try to recharge a dry cell battery. When the charger is not in use, disconnect it from the AC outlet. The transmitter may be damaged or the battery electrolyte may leak or the battery may break. Do this to prevent accidents and to avoid overheating. Before Using Never plug it into an outlet of other than indicated voltage. Set data backup The set data of each function of the T3GR-2.4G transmitter is stored in a memory element that does not require a backup battery. Therefore, the transmitter can be used without paying attention to the backup battery life. 19 Receiver Connectors 3: CH3 servo (CH3) 2: Throttle servo (CH2) 1: Steering servo (CH1) B/C: Power connector/DSC connector RS232C: (for factory use only) Antenna Coaxial cable Before Using R603FF receiver For the receiver, servos, and other connections, see page 21. 20 Installation Receiver and Servo Connections When connecting and installing the receiver and servos, read the “Installation Safety Precautions”. Installation For Electric Powered Models ESC Installation R603FF Installation For Gas Powered Models R603FF Installation Safety Precautions Receiver Antenna Installation Install the R603FF receiver on the car as follows: Note: The operating range may become shorter, depending on where the receiver and the antenna are mounted. Antenna tube Antenna Warning •Install the antenna in the higher place as shown in the figure. •Keep the antenna as for away from the motor, ESC and other noise sources as possible. •Put the antenna in the antenna tube to protect it. Coaxial cable •Do not cut the antenna. •Do not bend the coaxial cable. Doing so causes damage. R603FF 21 Warning Connector Connections Be sure the receiver, servo and connectors are fully and firmly connected. Operate each servo over its full stroke and be sure the linkage does not bind or is loose. If vibration from the model causes a connector to work loose while the model is in operation, you may lose control . The continuous application of unreasonable force to a servo may cause damage and excessive battery drain. Receiver Vibration Damping and Waterproofing Servo Installation Installation (Car) Dampen the vibration to the receiver by mounting it to the chassis or mounting plate with thick, doublesided 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 a plastic bag or make the radio box in your model watertight. 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 experience the same result as well as damage to the system. Electronic speed control Install the heat sinks where they will not come in contact with aluminum, carbon fiber or other parts that conduct electricity. If the 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. 22 Servo Throw When you install the servos always use the rubber grommets provided in servo hardware bags. Mount the servos 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 experience 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 could come in contact with other metal parts. Metal to metal contacts under vibration will emit a high frequency noise that will affect the receiver's performance. You could experience erratic operation and reduced range as well as loss of control. Initial Set-Up How to link the transmitter and the receiver 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 needs to be used with an other transmitter. (For T/R set, the link is already done at factory.) Link procedure 1. Bring the transmitter and the receiver close to each other, within one meter. LED 2. Turn on the transmitter. 3. Check the LED that is placed on the back side of the transmitter to see if the RF signal is transmitted. When the green LED is solid ON, the RF signal is transmitted. *Please refer the table below for LED status vs transmitter's condition. Parameter check for 0.5 seconds after power-on Transmitting signals F/S is activated by the F/S switch of the transmitter.
