WARNING JR ensure the safety of yourself and others, please observe the following precautions:

Have regular maintenance performed. Although your FMT-01 protects the model memories with rr non-volatile EEPROM memory (which does not require periodic replacement) and not a battery, the transmitter still should have regular checkups for wear and tear. We recommend sending your system to the Futaba Service Center annually during your non-flying-season for a complete checkup and service. Ni-MH/Ni-Cad Battery Charge the batteries! (See Charging the Ni-Cd batteries, for details.) Always recharge the transmitter and receiver batteries before each flying session. A low battery will soon die potentially,

@ causing loss of control and a crash. When you begin your flying session, reset your FMT-01s built-in timer, and during the session pay attention to the duration of usage. Stop flying long before your batteries become low on charge. Do not rely on your radios low battery warning systems, intended only as a precaution, to tell you when to recharge. Always o check your transmitter and receiver batteries prior to each flight. Where to Fly We recommend that you fly at a recognized model airplane flying field. You can find model clubs and fields by asking your nearest hobby dealer, or in the US by contacting the Academy of Model Aeronautics. You can also contact the national Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA), which has more than 2,500 chartered clubs across the country. Through any one of them, instructor training programs and insured newcomer training are available. Contact the AMA at the address or toll-

free phone number below. Academy of Model Aeronautics 5161 East Memorial Drive Muncie, IN 47302 Tele. (800) 435-9262 A Fax (765) 289-4248 SINCE 1936 or via the Internet at http:\\www. modelaircraft.org Always pay particular attention to the flying fields rules, as well as the presence and location of spectators, the wind direction, and any obstacles on the field.

It is important to understand the operating characteristics of Ni-MH/Ni-Cd batteries.Always read the specifications printed on the label of your Ni-MH/Ni-Cd battery and charger prior to use. Failure to follow the proceeding precautions can quickly result in severe, permanent damage to the batteries and its surroundings and possibly result in a FIRE!

IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS Do not attempt to disassemble Ni-MH/Ni-Cd packs or cells. Do not allow Ni-MH/Ni-Cd cells to come in contact with moisture or water at any time.

@ Always provide adequate ventilation around Ni-MH/Ni-Cd batteries during charge, discharge, while in use, and during storage. Do not leave a Ni-MH/Ni-Cd battery unattended at any time while being charged or discharged. Do not attempt to charge Ni-MH/Ni-Cd batteries with a charger that is NOT designed for Ni-MH/Ni-

Cd batteries, as permanent damage to the battery and charger could result.

@ Always charge Ni-MH/Ni-Cd batteries in a fireproof location. Do not charge or discharge Ni-MH/Ni-

Cd_ batteries on carpet, a cluttered workbench, near paper, plastic, vinyl, leather or wood, or inside an R/C model or full-sized automobile! Monitor the charge area with a smoke or fire alarm. O Do not charge Ni-MH/Ni-Cd batteries at currents greater than the 1C rating of the battery (C equals the rated capacity of the battery). 9 Do not allow Ni-MH/Ni-Cd cells to overheat at any time! Cells which reach greater than 140 degrees Fahrenheit (60C) should be placed in a fireproof location.

@ Ni-MH/Ni-Cd cells will not charge fully when too cold or show full charge.

@ It is normal for the batteries to become warm during charging, but if the charger or battery becomes excessively hot disconnect the battery from the charger immediately!! Always inspect a battery which has previously overheated for potential damage, and do not re-use if you suspect it has been damaged in any way. Do not use a Ni-MH/Ni-Cd battery if you suspect physical damage has occurred to the pack. Carefully inspect the battery for even the smallest of dents, cracks, splits, punctures or damage to the wiring and connectors. DO NOT allow the batterys internal electrolyte to get into eyes or on skinwash affected areas immediately if they come in contact with the electrolyte. If in doubt, place the battery in a fire-proof location for at least 30 minutes.

& Do not store batteries near an open flame or heater.

& Do not discharge Ni-MH/Ni-Cd batteries at currents which exceed the discharge current rating of the battery.

. Pull throttle stick to idle position, or otherwise disarm your motor/engine. Turn on the transmitter power and allow your transmitter to reach its home screen. Confirm the proper model memory has been selected. Turn on your receiver power. Test all controls. If a servo operates abnormally, dont attempt to fly until you determine the cause of the problem. Test to ensure that the FailSafe settings are correct after adjusting them. Turn the transmitter off and confirm the proper surface/throttle movements. Turn the transmitter back on. Start your engine. Complete a full range check. After flying, bring your throttle stick to idle position, engage any kill switches or otherwise disarm your motor/engine. 9. Turn off receiver power. 10. Turn off transmitter power. If you do not turn on your system in this order, you may damage your servos or control surfaces, flood your engine, or in the case of electric-powered or gasoline-powered models, the engine may unexpectedly turn on and cause a severe injury.

@ While you are getting ready to fly, if you place your transmitter on the ground, be sure that the wind won't tip it over. If it is knocked over, the throttle stick may be accidentally moved, causing the engine to speed up. Also, damage to your transmitter may occur.

@ In order to maintain complete control of your aircraft it is important that it remains visible at all times. Flying behind large objects such as buildings, grain bins, etc. is not suggested. Doing so may result in the reduction of the quality of the radio frequency link to the model. Do not grasp the transmitter's antenna during flight. Doing so may degrade the quality of the tadio frequency transmission.

@ As with all radio frequency transmissions, the strongest area of signal transmission is from the sides of the transmitter's antenna. As such, the antenna should not be pointed directly at the model. If your flying style creates this situation, easily move the antenna to correct this situation. Dont fly in the rain! Water or moisture may enter the transmitter through the antenna or stick openings and cause erratic operation or loss of control. If you must fly in wet weather during a contest, be sure to cover your transmitter with a plastic bag or waterproof barrier. Never fly if lightning is expected.

) Receiver's Antenna Installation The FMR-01 has two antennas. In order to maximize signal 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 To obtain the best results of the diversity function, please refer to the following instructions:

1. The two antennas must be kept as straight as possible. Otherwise it will reduce the effective range. 2. The two antennas should be placed at 90 degrees to each other. 90 This is not a critical figure, but the most important thing is to keep the antennas away from each other as much as possible. Larger models can have large metal objects that can attenuate the RF signal. In this case the antennas should be placed at both sides of the model. Then the best RF signal condition is obtained at any flying attitude. The antennas must be kept away from conductive materials, such as metal, carbon and fuel tank by at least a half inch. The coaxial part of the antennas does not need to follow these guidelines, but do not bend it in a tight radius. Keep the antennas away from the motor, ESC, and other noise sources as much as possible. Antenna

*Must be kept as straight as possible i Antenna Coaxial cable

*The two antennas should be placed at 90 degrees to each other.

*The illustration demonstrates how the antenna should be placed.

*Receiver Vibration and Waterproofing: The receiver contains precision electronic parts. Be sure to avoid vibration, shock, and temperature extremes. For protection, wrap the receiver in foam rubber or other vibration-absorbing materials. It is also a good idea to waterproof the receiver by placing it in a plastic bag and securing the open end of the bag with a rubber band before wrapping it with foam rubber. If you accidentally get moisture or fuel inside the receiver, you may experience intermittent operation or a crash. If in doubt, return the receiver to our service center for service.

Safety precautions when you install receiver and servos Z\ WARNING Connecting connectors

@ Be sure to insert the connector until it stops at the deepest point. How to protect the receiver from vibration and water

@ Wrap the receiver with something soft such as foam rubber to avoid vibration. If there is a chance of getting wet, put the receiver in a waterproof bag or balloon to avoid water. Receiver's antenna O Never cut the receiver's antenna. Do not bind the receiver's antenna with the cables for servos.

@ Locate the receiver's antenna as far as possible from metals or carbon fiber components such as frames, cables, etc.

*Cutting or binding the receiver's antenna wil! reduce the radio reception sensitivity and range, and may cause a crash. Servo throw

@ Adjust your system so that pushrods will not bind or sag when operating the servos to the full extent.

*If excessive force is continuously applied to a servo, the servo could be damaged due to force on the gear train and/or power consumption causing rapid battery drain. Mounting servos

@ Use a vibration-proof rubber (such as rubber grommet) under a servo when mounting the servo on a servo mount. And be sure that the servo cases do not touch directly to the metal parts such as servo mount.

*If the servo case contacts the airframe directly, vibration will travel to and possibly damage the servo.

*If there are many FASSTest systems turned on around your receiver, it might not link to your transmitter. In this case, even if the receiver's LED stays solid green, unfortunately the receiver might have established a link to one of other transmitters. This is very dangerous if you do not notice this situation. In order to avoid the problem, we strongly recommend you to doublecheck whether your receiver is really under control by your transmitter by giving the stick input and then checking the servo response.

<Basic Operation> 37 Range [esting Your system It is extremely important to range check your models prior to each flying session. This enables you to ensure that everything is functioning as it should and to obtain maximum enjoyment from your time flying. The FMT-01 transmitter incorporates a system that reduces its power output and allows you to perform such a range check. Range check mode 1. While pushing previously "U.menu/Mon" button. 2. THR Stick Slow. U.menu/Mon f 3. FMT-01 Power ON. 4. Scroll to "NO" and press RTN.

(7. PU) 171 5. "RANGE CHECK is chosen from

"SYSTEM MENU" and press RTN. 6. "YES" is chosen from "RANGE CHECK" and press RTN. During this mode, the RF power output is reduced so the range test can be performed. In addition, when this mode is activated the right LED on the front of the transmitter starts blinking and the transmitter gives users a warning with a beeping sound every 3 seconds. The "Range check mode" continues for 90 seconds and after that the power will return to the normal level. To exit the "Range check mode" before the 90 seconds, select the "EXIT" at the screen and touch the RTN button again. This mode is available one time only so if you need to re-use this function the transmitter power must be cycled. NEVER start flying when the "Range check mode" is active. Should you require additional time to perform a range check, highlight Restart before your time expires and press the RTN button one time. Range check procedure 1. With the "Range check mode" on, walk away from the model while simultaneously operating the controls. Have an assistant stand by the model to confirm that all controls are completely and correctly operational. You should be able to walk approximately 30-50 paces from the model without losing control. 2. If everything operates correcily, return to the model. Set the transmitter in a safe, yet accessible, location so it will be within reach after starting the engine or motor. Be certain the throttle stick is in the low throttle position, then start the engine or motor. Perform another range check with your assistant holding the aircraft with the engine running at various speeds. If the servos jitter or move inadvertently, there may be a problem. We would strongly suggest you do not fly until the source of the difficulty has been determined. Look for loose servo connections or binding pushrods, Also, be certain that the batter has been fully charged. About 100 feet Z\ WARNING

@ Do not fly in the range check mode.

S.BUS Servo Description of function of each parameter There are a function which can be used according to the kind of servo, and an impossible function. ID Displays the ID of the servo whose parameters are to be read. It cannot be changed. Channel Channel of the S.BUS system assigned to the servo. Always assign a channel before use.

* Reverse The direction in which the servo rotates can be changed. Servo type When Retractable is selected and the servo has been continuously stopped for 30 seconds, the dead band expands and unnecessary hold current due to external force is eliminated. When a new control signal enters, normal operation is resumed. When using the servo as a landing gear servo, select Retractable. Also adjust the servo travel to match the landing gear movement range. Soft Start Restricts operation in the specified direction the instant the power is turned on. By using this setting, the first initial movement when the power is turned on slowly moves the servo to the specified position.

* Stop Mode The state of the servo when the servo input signal is lost can be specified. The "Hold" mode setting holds the servo in its last commanded position even if using AM or FM system. Smoother This function changes smoothness of the servo operation relative to stick movement changes. Smooth setting is used for normal flight. Select the "OFF" mode when quick operation is necessary such as 3D. Neutral Offset The neutral position can be changed. When the neutral offset is large value, the servo's range of travel is restricted on one side. Speed Control Speeds can be matched by specifying the operating speed. The speed of multiple servos can be matched without being affected by motor fluctuations. This is effective for load torques below the maximum torque. However, note that the maximum speed will not be exceed what the servo is capable of even if the servos operating voltage is increased.

* Dead band The dead band angle at stopping can be specified.

[Relationship between dead band set value and servo operation]

Small Dead band angle is small and the servo is immediately operated by a small signal change. Large Dead band angle is large and the servo does not operate at small signal changes.

(Note) If the dead band angle is too small, the servo will operate continuously and the current consumption will increase and the life of the servo will be shortened.

* Travel Adjust The left and right travels centered about the neutral position can be set independently. Boost The minimum current applied to the internal motor when starting the servo can be set. Since a small travel does not start the motor, it essentially feels like the dead band was expanded. The motor can be immediately started by adjusting the minimum current which can start the motor.

[Relationship between boost set value and servo operation]

Small Motor reacts to a minute current and operation becomes smooth. Large Initial response improves and output torque increases. However, if the torque is too large, operation will become rough.

<Functions of System Menu> 49

* Boost ON/OFF OFF : It is the boost ON at the time of low-speed operation.(In the case of usual) ON : It is always the boost ON.(When quick operation is hope) Damper The characteristic when the servo is stopped can be set. When smaller than the standard value, the characteristic becomes an overshoot characteristic. If the value is larger than the standard value, the brake is applied before the stop position. Especially, when a large load is applied, overshoot, etc. are suppressed by inertia and hunting may occur, depending on the conditions. If hunting (phenomena which cause the servo to oscillate) occurs even though the Dead Band, Stretcher, Boost and other parameters are suitable, adjust this parameter to a value larger than the initial value.

[Relationship between damper set value and servo operation]

Small When you want to overshoot. Set so that hunting does not occur. Large When you want to operate so that braking is not applied. However, it will feel like the servo response has worsened.

(Note) If used in the hunting state, not only will the current consumption increase, but the life of the servo will also be shortened. Stretcher The servo hold characteristic can be set. The torque which attempts to return the servo to the target position when the current servo position has deviated from the target position can be adjusted. This is used when stopping hunting, etc., but the holding characteristic changes as shown below.

[Relationship between siretcher and servo operation]

Small Servo holding force becomes weaker. Large Servo holding force becomes stronger.

(Note) When this parameter is large, the current consumption increases. Buzzer When the power supply of a servo is previously turned on at the time of a power supply injection without taking transmit of a transmitter, the buzzer sound of about 2.5 Hz continues sounding from a servo.

(Even when the transmit of a transmitter is taken out previously, a buzzer becomes until the signal of a servo is outputted normally, but it is not unusual.) The transmitter has been turned OFF ahead of a servo power supply > The buzzer sound of about 1.25 Hz continues sounding as servo power supply end failure alarm.

(Do not insert or remove the servo connector while the receiver power is ON. A buzzer may sound by incorrect recognition.)

* Buzzer sound is generated by vibrating the motor of a servo. Since current is consumed and a servo generates heat, please do not operate the number more than needed or do not continue sounding a buzzer for a long time. 50 <Functions of System Menu>

<Throttle curve setting example>

Call the throttle curve of each condition with the condition select switch. eNormal curve adjustment Normal curve creates a basic throttle curve centered near hovering. This curve is adjusted together with the pitch curve (Normal) so that the engine speed is constant and up/down control is easiest. eldle up curve adjustment The low side Throttle curve creates a curve matched for aerobatics (loop, roll, 3D, etc.}. eThrottle hold curve adjustment The curve is not used when performing auto rotation dives. Confirm that the rate of the slowest position (0%) of the stick is 0% (initial setting).

<Example of pitch curve setting>

Call the pitch curve of each condition with the condition select switch. ePitch curve (Normal) Make the pitch at hovering approximately +5~6. Set the pitch at hovering with the stick position at the 50% point as the standard.

*Stability at hovering may be connected to the throttle curve. Adjustment is easy by using the hovering throttle function and hovering pitch function together. ePitch curve (Idle up 1) The idle up 1 pitch curve function creates a curve matched to airborne flight. Set to -7~+12 as standard. ePitch curve (Idle up 2) The high side pitch setting is less than idle up 1. The standard is +8. ePitch curve (Hold) At auto rotation, use the maximum pitch at both the high and low sides.

Pitch to RUD mixing setting Note: When using a GY601, GY502, GY401, or other heading hold gyro, this Pitch to RUD mixing should not be used. The reaction torque is corrected at the gyro side. When operating the gyro in the AVCS mode, the mixed signal will cause neutral deviation symptoms and the gyro will not operate normally. Use this function when you want to suppress the torque generated by the changes in the pitch and speed of the main rotor during pitch operation. Adjust it so that the nose does not swing in the rudder direction. However, when using a heading hold gyro like those shown below, do not use Pitch to RUD mixing. Call the Pitch to RUD mixing function from the Model Menu, and set the curve for each condition. (At initial setting, this function is in the "INH" state. To use it, set it to the "ON" state.)

<Setting example>

Call the mixing curve of each condition with the condition select switch. 1. A curve setting example is shown below. ePitch to RUD mixing curve (Normal) Use the hovering system and set this curve to match take off and landing and vertical climb at a constant speed.

*For this curve, use the initial setting [EXP 1] curve type.

@Pitch to RUD mixing (Idle up 1) Use this curve in 540 stall turn, loop, and rolling stall turn, and adjust it so the fuselage is facing straight anead when heading into the wind.

*For this curve, [EXP1] curve type can be used and the entire curve can be lowered with the [Offset] function. ePitch to RUD mixing (Hold) This function is set so that the fuselage is facing straight ahead at straight line auto rotation. The pitch of the tail rotor becomes nearly 0.

*For this curve, [EXP1] curve type can be used and the entire curve can be lowered with the [Offset] function. e Other settings The mixing rise characteristic at pitch operation can be adjusted. An acceleration function which temporarily increases and decreases the mixing amount can be set. 9. Throttle hold setting

*If throttle hold is necessary, please refer to the THR HOLD function. 10. Throttle cut setting Throttle cut provides an easy way to stop the engine, by flipping a switch with the throttle stick at idle. The action is not functional at high throttle to avoid accidental dead sticks. The switchs location and direction must be chosen, as it defaults to NULL. 2. 5Uji71 168%
