Please write to Futaba if you feel that any corrections or clarications should be made.Before using your new 3PM 2.4GHz system, please read this manual thoroughly and use the system properly and safely. After reading this manual, store it in a safe place.About this guideThis manual is supplement to the separate "3PM INSTRUCTION MANUAL". Refer to the "3PM INSTRUCTION MANUAL" for the basic operating instructions. In the pro-gramming mode, refer to the programming instructions of the 3PM-FM system.This guide describes the new functions and the safety precautions of the 3PM 2.4GHz system.1M23N13512Contents and Technical SpecicationsYour 3PM 2.4GHz system includes the following components;Installing the T3PK-2.4G/R603FS[Specication]• Communication method: One-way operation system• Mode: PPM, HRS (Auto-detect)• Maximum operating range: 80m (Optimum condition)• For safety: F/S, B-F/S, ID (About 4billion ways of pair identications)Transmitter T3PM-2.4G;(Wheel system, 3 channels)• Transmitting frequency: 2.4GHz band• Power requirement: (NiCd battery) NT8F700B(9.6V), (Dry cell battery) Penlight x 8(12V)• Current drain: 250mA or less• Transmission antenna: 1/2λ mono-poleReceiver R603FS;• Reception antenna: Diversity type (Two antennas: internal and external)• Power requirement: 6V Nicd battery• DSC function available• RS232C port: (for factory use only)• Size: 39x26x14mm (excluding a projection part)• Weight: 14.1g3PM 2.4GHzSystemThank you for purchasing a 3PM 2.4GHz system. This system is based on the combination of the newly developed 2.4GHz transmitter and its correspondent receiver. The system utilizes the 2.4GHz-SS radio communication and an ultra small antenna. In addition, the system inherits Futaba's unique HRS (High Response System). Features2.4GHzSS (Spread Spectrum) radio communication systemFrequency channel setting unnecessary: Sifting the channels within the 2.4GHz band automatically, this system minimizes the interference from other 2.4GHz system.Accepts no unwanted signals by using ID codeThe function “Auto-Detect” is utilized to automatically determine which mode is active, HRS or PPM mode.

Usage Precaution󾙏WARNING󾙋 Special attention should be paid before turning on the system while other cars are running or other airplanes are flying be-cause the 2.4GHz RC system could potentially affect them. 󾙏WARNING󾙋 Be sure to set the Fail Safe function. Repair Service Before requesting repair, read this instruction manual again and recheck your system. Should the problem continue, request repair service as follows: Describe the problem in as much detail as possible and send it with a detailed packing list together with the parts that require service.• Symptom (Including when the problem occurred) • System(Transmitter, Receiver, Servo's and model numbers)• Model (Model name) • Model Numbers and Quantity• Your Name, Address, and Telephone Number. If you have any questions regarding this product, please consult your local hobby dealer or contact the Futaba Service Center.FUTABA CORPORATION Phone: (043) 296-5118 Facsimile: (043) 296-5124Makuhari Techno Garden Bldg., B6F 1-3 Nakase, Mihama-ku, Chiba 261-8555, Japan©FUTABA CORPORATION 2006, 10 (1)Receiver installationR603FS ReceiverAntennatubeAntennaCoaxialcableR603FS1 Install the R603FS receiver on the car as follow;Note: The operating range may become shorter, although depending on where the receiver and the antenna are mounted. 󾙏WARNING󾙋 Install the antenna in the higher place as shown in the figure.󾙍 Do not cut the antenna. 󾙋 Keep the antenna away from the motor, ESC and other noise sources as pos-sible as you can. 󾙋 Put the antenna in the antenna tube to protect it.󾙍 Do not bend the coaxial cable. It causes damage.󾙋 Wrap the receiver with something soft such as foam rubber to avoid vibration. If there is a chance of getting wet, put the receiv-er in a waterproof bag or balloon to avoid water.󾙏CAUTION󾙋 Always use R603FS under the following conditions; Power supply; 6V Nicd battery (PPM/HRS mode) Servo; 6V type Futaba Digital Servo (HRS mode)* If the conditions are different, control is impossible or the servo may be damaged. How to turn on the powerA certain ID number is given to the receiver automatically. Identifying this ID number, the system will minimize the interference from other transmitters. 1 Bring the transmitter and the receiver close to each other within one meter. 2 Turn on the transmitter. LED andF/S switchNote: Check the LED on the rear of the transmitter. Parameter check for 0.5 seconds after power-on Red: OnTransmitting signals Green: OnF/S is activated by the F/S switch of the transmit-ter. (PPM mode) Green: BlinkUnrecoverable failure (EEPROM, etc.)Red and Green turn on alternatively. 3 Turn on the receiver.4 Push the tactile switch of the receiver. Note: Check the LED of the receiver. No signal reception Red : OnReceiving signals Green: OnReceiving signals, but ID is unmatched. Green: BlinkUnrecoverable failure (EEPROM, etc.) Red and Green turn on alternatively. How to Set the F/S PositionPPM mode only: *HRS mode: Set the F/S function by the fail safe function menu.1 Move and hold the throttle trigger (stick) to the F/S servo position where you want to set (slow side) then push the F/S switch on the transmitter. The LED blinks green. Note: Always set again when turning on the power.Battery F/S functionThe Battery F/S function becomes active when the voltage of the receiver becomes 4.75V or less. The throttle servo move to the preset F/S position.Special Markings; Pay special attention to the safety at the parts of this manual that are indicated by the following marks.
