R6308SBT FASST-2.4GHz (7ch/8ch/10ch/Multi-ch) System with Telemetry S.BUS2 / S.BUS Port and 8 Channels for Conventional System Receiver 1M23N17459 Thank you for purchasing a Futaba R6308SBT FASST-2.4GHz compatible receiver. The R6308SBT receiver features bi-directional communication with a telemetry receiver unit (option) using the S.Bus2 port. Using the S.Bus2 port an impressive array of telemetry sensors may be utilized. It also includes both standard PWM output ports and S.Bus output ports. This receiver distinguishes automatically FASST-2.4-GHz system 7ch or Multi-
ch/10ch / 8ch mode at the time of link operation with a transmitter. And high speed mode can be chosen. Usage precaution

(for U.S.A.) This device, trade name Futaba Corporation of America, model number R6308SBT, complies with part15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
(3) This module meets the requirements for a mobile device that may be used at separation distances of more than 20cm from human body. To meet the RF exposure requirements of the FCC this device shall not be co-
located with another transmitting device. The responsible party of this device compliance is:
Futaba Service Center 3002 N Apollo Drive Suite 1, Champaign, IL 61822 U.S.A. TEL (217)398-8970 or E-mail: support@futaba-rc.com (Support) The R6308SBT 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.

No function To set the F/S position(No re-link) Re-link(ID set) and to set the F/S position No function Re-link(ID set) If there are many FASST systems turned on in close proximity, your receiver might have difficulty establishing a link to your transmitter. This is a rare occurrence. However, should another FASST transmitter/receiver be linking at the same time, your receiver could link to the wrong transmitter. This is very dangerous if you do not notice this situation. In order to avoid the problem,we strongly recommend you to double check whether your receiver is really under control by your transmitter.
WARNING
Do not perform the linking procedure while the motor's main wire connected or the engine is operating as it may result in serious injury.
When the linking is complete, please cycle the receiver power and ensure the receiver is properly linked to the transmitter.
Please power up your system in this order. Transmitter first, followed by the receiver. After power up, the button can be released.

*Refer to the manual of telemetry receiver unit (option) for link operation of telemetry receiver unit . When S.BUS is used
* Set the channel of S.BUS servos by using an SBC-1 channel changer, CIU-
2 USB serial interface or the programming software resident in the 18MZ transmitter.
* Can also be used together with conventional servos. However, conventional servos cannot be used by the S.BUS output.
* When using servos with a remote battery pack, use S.BUS Hub with Cable
(2-way/remote battery pack use). Please refer to the instruction manual of S.BUS Hub with Cable (2-way/re-
mote battery pack use) for the connection method.
*Turn on the power in transmitterreceiver 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. FUTABA CORPORATION 1080 Yabutsuka, Chosei-mura, Chosei-gun, Chiba-ken, 299-4395, Japan Phone: +81 475 32 6982, Facsimile: +81 475 32 6983 FUTABA CORPORATION 2012, 2 (1)
