Weight: 9.8g(0.34 oz)
Preparatin for operaion:
Set frequency SW １ｓｅｃ ＰＵＳＨ for ID-match with the TMSS2 to be linked.
The LED on the receiver turns to solid green, then the R617FS is OK for use with the
TMSS2. Once the link procedure is done not need to re-link.
Frequency Allocation
The TMSS2-2.4G/R617FS can operate on 36(or22) available frequencies between
2405.376 MHz and 2479.104 MHz with 2.048 MHz separation between each frequency.
See the table below for the exact frequency assignments.
