(Refer to page 65.) 7 For Your Safety As Well As That Of Others 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 in the following places.
-Near other sites where other radio control activity may occur.
-Near people or roads.
-On any pond when passenger 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 in-
jury. Do not operate this R/C system when you are tired, not feeling well or under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Your judgment is impaired and could result in a dangerous situation that may cause serious injury to yourself as well as others. Do not touch the engine, motor, speed control or any part of the model that will generate heat while the mod-
el is operating or immediately after its use. These parts may be very hot and can cause serious burns. Always perform an operating range check prior to use. 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. Turning on the power switches. Always check the throttle trigger 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. 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. 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. 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. When the reverse function was used to change the operat-
ing direction of a servo, the fail-safe function must be reset. Setting example: Throttle idle or brake position 8 For Your Safety As Well As That Of Others NiMH / NiCd / LiFe Battery Handling Precautions
(Only when NiMH / NiCd / LiFe batteries are used) Warning Never plug the charger into an outlet of other than the indicated voltage. Plugging the charger into the wrong outlet could result in an explosion or fire. Never insert or remove the charger while your hands are wet. You may get an electric shock. Do not use the T4PM transmitters battery as the receivers battery. Since the transmitters battery has an overload protection circuit, the output power will be shut down when the high current load is ap-
plied. This may result in runaway or fatal crash. Always check to be sure your batteries have been charged prior to operating the model. Should the battery go dead while the model is operating, loss of control will occur and create a very dangerous situation. To recharge the transmitter battery, use the special charger made for this purpose. Overcharging could cause the battery to overheat, leak or explode. This may lead to fire, burns, loss of sight and many other types of injuries. Caution Do not use commercial AA size NiCd and NiMH batteries. Quick charging may cause the battery contacts to overheat and damage the battery holder. Do not short circuit the battery terminals. A short circuit across the battery terminals may cause abnormal heating, fire and burns. Do not drop the 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. When the model is not being used, always remove or disconnect the battery. Leaving the battery connected could create a dangerous situation if someone accidentally turns on the receiver power switch. Loss of control could occur. Always keep the charger disconnected from the outlet while it is not in use. Storage And Disposal Precautions Warning Do not leave the radio system or models within the reach of small children. 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. Do not throw NiMH / NiCd / LiFe batteries into a fire. Do not expose batteries to extreme heat. Also do not disassemble or modify a battery pack. Overheating and breakage will cause the electrolyte to leak from the cells and cause skin burns, loss of sight, and other injuries. 9 For Your Safety As Well As That Of Others When the system will not be used for any length of time, store the system with NiMH / NiCd 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 NiMH / NiCd battery may consider-
ably reduce the capacity. A reduction in operating time will occur even when the batteries are charged for the recommended time. (After discharge to 1cell E.V.=1V) When a LiFe battery pack will not be used for a long time, to prevent it from deteriorating we recommend that it be kept in about the half capacity state instead of fully charged. Also be careful that the battery does not enter the over-discharged state due to self-discharge. Periodically (about every 3 months) charge the battery. Warning 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.
- 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 operation. 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.
<NiMH/NiCd Battery Electrolyte>
The electrolyte in NiCd / NiMH 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.
<NiMH / NiCd / LiFe Battery Recycling>
A used battery is a valuable resource. Insulate the battery terminals and dispose of the battery by taking it to a battery recycling center. 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. Always use only genuine Futaba transmitters, receivers, servos, ESCs (electronic speed controls), NiMH/
NiCd / LiFe 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 in-
struction manual and catalog. 10 For Your Safety As Well As That Of Others Before Using Features
-T-FHSS SR (Super response) & telemetry T-FHSS In addition to the T- FHSS telemetry system, we added a T-FHSS SR (Super response) system that increased processing speed to further improve response. (SR system does not support telem-
etry function)
*R304SB and R304SB-E are not compatible with SR system.
-T-FHSS MINIZ system By setting to the MINIZ system in the receiver setting menu, you can use Kyosho Mini - Z Evo dedicated receiver RA-42. Dedicated receiver RA-42 requires purchase separately.
-Telemetry system The T4PM transmitter has adopted the newly developed bidirectional communication system "T-
FHSS".
-2.4GHzSS (Spread Spectrum) radio communication system Frequency channel setting is unnecessary: Channel shifting takes place within the 2.4GHz band automatically. This system minimizes the interference from other 2.4GHz systems.
-Display switch Display switch allows function setup without transmitting.
-Model memory for 40 models Model names can use up to 10 letters, numbers, and symbols, so that logical names may be used. A model memory with different setups can be created by using the model copy function.
-4 axis Jog button. The (JOG) button can be operated in 4 directions: up, down, left, and right.
-ESC-Link function (MC-LINK) This dedicated function allows you set up the Link software so that your T4PM can control vari-
able frequency and other data changes in Futaba speed controllers (ESCs): MC950CR, MC850C, MC851C, MC602C, MC402CR, etc.
-S.BUS servo This is a special function that allows setting of the parameters of our S.BUS servo whose set-
tings are changed by using PC Link software. In addition to the conventional wired system, it can be set wirelessly in combination with the R334SBS or R334SBS-E.
-Steering mixing Smooth cornering is possible by independent left and right steering servo setting.
-Brake mixing for large cars (BRAKE) Brake mixing of the front and rear wheels of 1/5 gas power cars and other large cars can be ad-
justed independently. 11 Before Using-Gyro mixing (GYRO MIX) The sensitivity of Futaba car rate gyros can be adjusted from the T4PM.
-4WS mixing for crawlers and other 4WS type (4WS) This function can be used with crawlers and other 4WS type vehicles.
-Dual ESCs mixing for crawlers cars (DUAL ESC) ESCs at the front and rear are controlled independently.
-CPS-1 mixing (CPS MIX) LED lighting and flashing control using our CPS-1 channel power switch can be matched to steering and throttle operation by switch only.
-Anti-skid braking system (TH A.B.S) This function applies the brakes so that the tires of gas power cars, etc. do not lose their grip on the road even when braking at corners.
-Throttle acceleration (ACCEL) gas power cars have a time lag before the clutch and brakes become effective. The throttle acceleration function reduces this time lag.
-Throttle speed (SPEED) Sudden trigger operation on a slippery road surface will only cause the tires to spin and the model to not accelerate smoothly. By setting the throttle speed function, operation can be per-
formed smoothly and easily. It also suppresses battery consumption.
-Steering speed (SPEED) When you sense that the steering servo is too fast, etc., the servo operating speed (direction that suppresses the maximum speed) can be adjusted.
-Racing timer (TIMER) The lap timer can record 100 lap times and total time. The timer can also be started automati-
cally by trigger operation. The race time and audible alarm can be set. Re-/fueling time are indicated by an audible alarm. An up timer is also provided.
-Function select switch (SWITCH)/ dial function (TRIM DIAL) This assigns functions to 2 switches and dials (digital trim, digital dial). The step amount and operating direction can also be adjusted. Trim positioning at each model call is unnecessary because all the dials are digital.
-Trigger position can be changed The position of the throttle trigger can be moved forward and backward.
-Tension adjustment function The tension of the steering wheel & throttle trigger springs can be adjusted from the outside.
-Mechanical ATL Adjustment Make this adjustment when you want to decrease the total travel of the brake (push) side of the throttle trigger. 12 Before Using Set Contents After opening the box, first check if the contents conform to the following. The con-

The transmitter may be damaged or the battery electrolyte may leak or the battery may break. Insert the batteries in the correct polarity. If the polarity is incorrect, the transmitter may be damaged. When the transmitter is not in use, remove the batteries. If the battery electrolyte leaks, wipe off the case and contacts. Do not use commercial AA size NiCd and NiMH batteries. Battery cover Slide battery cover while pressing here. Since voltage is lower than alkaline dry battery, usable time is shortened. Quick charging may cause the battery contacts to over-
heat and damage the battery holder. Battery Replacement Method 1 Remove the battery cover from the transmitter by sliding it in the direction of the arrow in the figure. 2 Remove the used batteries. Load the new AA size alkaline dry batteries. Pay very close attention to the polarity mark-
ings and reinsert accordingly. 3 Slide the battery cover back onto the case. Check:
Turn the power switch on the transmitter to the ON position. Check the battery voltage display on the LCD screen. If the voltage is low, check the batteries for insuffi cient contact in the case or incorrect battery polarity. Disposal of the Dry Cell Batteries:
The method to dispose of used dry cell batteries depends on the area in which you re-
side. Dispose of the batteries in accordance with the regulations for your area.
[Low Battery Alarm]
If the transmitter battery voltage drops below the us-
"
able range, an audible alarm will sound and "
mark will be displayed on the LCD screen. Warning When a low battery alarm is generated, cease operation immediately and retrieve the model. Always replace with a new dry battery before running next. If the battery goes dead while in operation, you will lose control of the model. Blinks i g n s U e r o f e B Reference:
By changing the AA size alkaline dry batteries from 3 to 4, you can extend the usable time. Please use 4P-SQ (for T4PV, T4PLS) for dry cell box. Refer to page 80 for mounting method. If you changed the size of AA batteries to 4, be sure to change the power supply type to "CSTM" in the BATT setting (page 41) of the system and set the low battery alarm voltage to 4.1V. 15 When Using The Optional Battery When using an optional rechargeable battery, replace the battery as described below.
-Always use the optional FT2F1100B, FT2F1700BV2 or FT2F2100BV2 rechargeable battery.
-Be sure to attach the included battery spacer to the battery. After removing the dry cell battery box from the transmitter, disconnect the con-
nector. Insert the connector of the optional battery and load the new battery into the transmitter. Battery Replacement Method 1Refer to the previous description and remove the transmitter battery cover. (See page 15) After removing the dry cell battery box from the transmitter, disconnect the connector. 2Insert the connector of the new battery and load the new battery into the transmitter. Fin-
ish by installing the battery cover. Connect the battery con-
nector Caution When closing the battery cover, be careful that the battery cover does not pinch the battery lead wires. Shorting of the battery lead wires may lead to fi re and abnormal heating and cause burns or fi re disaster. Since the usable range of LiFe batteries is different, the power supply used must be set by system setting (page 41). If used with wrong setting, the transmitter may shut down before warning of low battery alarm. There is a danger that a car (boat) runs away. When a low battery alarm is generated, cease operation immediately and retrieve the model. Always charge before use. If the battery goes dead while in operation, you will lose control of the model. Charging A LiFe Battery
(Example: When using the FT2F1100B / 1700BV2 / 2100BV2 with the special charger) 1Plug the transmitter cord of the special char-
ger into the charging jack on the rear of the transmitter. 2Plug the charger into an AC outlet. 3Check that the charging LED lights red. 4When charging is completed, the charging LED lights green. Disconnect the charge plug and disconnect the AC plug of the char-
ger. Charging jack To transmitter charging jack LED 9M20A05401

(Example: When using the FT2F100B / 1700BV2 / 2100BV2 with an optional charger) 1Remove the battery cover. 2Disconnect the battery from the T4PM. 3Balance charging cannot be done through the transmitter. You must remove the LiFe bat-
tery to do this charge. Follow the directions of the optional LiFe chargers in use. Balance charging connector for LiFe battery charger. LiFe battery is removed from the transmitter. The charging time when charging the FT2F2100BV2 battery with the optional special charger is approximately 3 hours, the FT2F1700BV2 battery is 2.5 hours, the FT2F1700BV2 battery is 2 hours. When the LiFe battery will not be used for a long time, to prevent it from deteriorating we recommend that it be kept in about the half capacity state instead of fully charged. Also be careful that the battery does not enter the overdischarged state due to self discharge. Periodically (about every 3 months) charge the battery. In addition, always remove the battery from the model and store it in a dry, cool place (15C~25C). Warning Make sure not to peel off the battery fi lm, or make any scratch by a cutter knife or the sharp edges of metal components. Make sure not to soak or get the battery wet with water or seawater. Make sure not to use a deformed or swollen battery. There is a risk of explosion or fi re, which is very dangerous. Caution on charger Warning The charger 9M20A05401 (FUTM 1725) does not charge batteries other than FT2F1100B / FT2F1700B V2 /
FT2F2100B V2. Overcharging could cause the battery to overheat, leak or explode. This may lead to fi re, burns, loss of sight and many other types of injuries. Never plug it into an outlet having other than the indicated voltage. Plugging the charger into the wrong outlet could result in an explosion or fi re. 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 propor-
tional R/C set battery. Overcharging a NiMH battery can result in burns, fi re, injuries, or loss of sight due to overheating, breakage, or electrolyte leakage. Caution Do not plug the charger to the charging jack, if the battery is not connected to the transmitter. The transmitter may be damaged. When the charger is not in use, disconnect it from the AC outlet. Do this to prevent accidents and to avoid overheating. i g n s U e r o f e B 17 B e f o r e U s n g i Power Switch & Key Operation POWER Press and hold ON/OFF

Adjustment 1Using a 1.5 mm hex wrench, adjust the trigger brake (reverse) stroke. (The screw moves the throttle trigger stopper.) When the screw is turned clockwise, the stroke becomes narrow-
er. Adjust the stroke while watching the screw. Mechanical ATL adjusting screw Note:
Once you have changed the mechanical stroke on the brake side, be sure to adjust the scale of the throttle channel accordingly by using the "Adjuster Function" (page 71). Due to this change, you also need to adjust in most cases the travel of the throttle servo by using "End Point Adjuster". 20 Wheel & Trigger Tension Adjustment Make this adjustment when you want to change the wheel or trigger springs tension. Adjustment 1Using a 1.5mm hex wrench, adjust the spring tension of the wheel or throttle by turning the screw shown in the figure. The wheel side is inside the adjustment hole. The spring is set to the weakest tension at the factory. When the adjusting screw is turned clockwise, the spring tension increases.

NOTE: The R304SB, R334SBS and R334SBS-E receiver are operating range may reduced, depending on where the receiver and the antenna are mounted. NOTE: The R304SB, R334SBS and R334SBS-E receiver are put the antenna in the antenna tube to protect it. Do not let the tip go outside. NOTE: The R334SBS and R334SBS-E receiver of diversity type with both external and internal antennas. Do not place wiring or other objects on the plate. The receiving range may be affected. NOTE: An antenna is installed inside the R314SB-E receiver on the top. Do not place wiring or other objects on the plate. The re-
ceiving range may be affected. Cap Antenna tube Antenna Antenna tube Antenna tube Antenna Antenna Coaxial cable Coaxial cable R334SBS-E R334SBS R304SB WARNING Install the antenna in the higher place as shown in the figure. Do not cut or bundle the receiver antenna wire. Do not bend the coaxial cable. It causes damage. Do not pull the receiver antenna or coaxial cable by force. Keep the antenna as far away from the motor, ESC and other noise sources as you possibly can. 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. Always use R334SBS under the following conditions:
Battery
:Power requirement Rated voltage 3.8 to 7.4V (dry cell battery cannot be used) Matched to the ratings of the receiver and connected servo. Transmitters receiver system > T-FHSS SR --- SR mode channel (ON): SR mode of Futaba SR compatible servo. Transmitters receiver system > T-FHSS SR --- SR mode channel (OFF): Normal mode of Futaba SR compatible servo. Futaba digital servo. Transmitters receiver system > T-FHSS/S-FHSS Transmitters response type: Digital servo: Futaba digital servo Transmitters response type: Analog servo: Futaba all servo (Normal mode of Futaba SR compatible servo.) Under other conditions, the set will not operate, or the specified performance will not be displayed even if it operates. In addition, it may cause trouble with servos and other equipment. Futaba will not be responsible for damage, etc. caused by combination with the products of other companies. 23 Before Using Installation Receiver and Servo Connections Connect the receiver and servos as shown below. Connect and install the receiver and servos in accordance with "Installation Safety Precautions" on the next page. The figure shown below is an example. The method of connecting the motor controller to the motor and battery depends on the motor controller used. Purchase the motor con-
troller and servos separately. The receiver also depends on the set. Installation When An Electronic Speed Control Is Used

Telemetry sensors
(Option) Temperature sensor RPM sensor Voltage sensor Note: In SR mode, the S.BUS 2 port cannot be used other than battery input. The telemetry system can only be used with TFHSS. Installation Safety Precautions Warning Receiver (receiver antenna) Do not cut or bundle the receiver antenna wire. Do not bundle the receiver antenna wire together with the motor controller lead wire. Keep the receiver antenna wire at least 1 cm away from motor, battery, and other wiring carrying heavy current. Do not use a metal receiver antenna holder on a plate made of metal, carbon, or other conductive mate-
rial. Since the antenna of built-in antenna receivers is installed under this, do not place wiring or other objects on it. Install the receiver antenna holder as closely as possible to the receiver. If the antenna wire is cut, bundled, or routed near a noise source, the receiving sensitivity will drop, the running (cruising) range will decrease, and you may lose control of the model.
*Noise is transmitted through metal, carbon, and other conductive material, so keep the receiver antenna wire away from such parts. Battery Antenna
Install the receiver as far away as possible from the battery, motor controller, motor, silicon cord and other noise sources. Keep it away from the antenna wire, in particular. The example in the fi gure is for R334SBS. The R334SBS-E places the antenna holder on the top of the case. Since the antenna of built-in antenna receivers is installed under this, do not place wiring or other objects on it. n o i t a l l a t s n I 25 Warning Receiver Vibration-proofing / Waterproofing
(Car) Vibration-proof the receiver by wrapping it in foam rubber or other vibration-absorbing material and mount it with thick double-sided tape. When using the receiver holder supplied with the model kit, mount the holder to the chassis through a rub-
ber grommet.
(Boat) Vibration-proof the receiver by wrapping it in foam rubber or other vibration-absorbing material. Also water-
proof the receiver by cruising it in a plastic bag. If the receiver is exposed to strong vibration and shock, or the ingression of water, it may not operate correctly and you may lose con-
trol of the model. Mechanical plate Screw Damper Foam rubber, etc. Wrap the receiver in foam rubber or other vibration-
absorbing material. Do not use hard material. Hard material does not have a vibration-proofing effect. Nut (as required) Mechanical plate Receiver holder Thick double-sid-
ed tape When using the receiver holder supplied with the kit, install the receiver through a rubber grommet. When mounting the receiver with double-sided tape, do not use a stiff tape. Stiff tape does not have a vibra-
tion-proofing effect. Connector Connections Be sure the receiver, servo, battery and connectors are fully and firmly connected. If vibration from the model causes a connector to work loose while the model is in operation, you may lose control. Servo Installation 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. Screw Damper Eyelet Mechanical plate
(or) Nut (as required) When installing the servo, always install the accessory rubber grommet and grommet flush against the servo. A vibration-damping effect is not obtained if the rubber grommet and grommet are not installed correctly. 26 Installation Warning Servo Throw Operate each servo over its full stroke and be sure the linkage does not bind or come loose. The continuous application of unreasonable force to a servo may cause damage and excessive battery drain. Caution!
A whining noise indicates that the steering servo is improperly set. Adjust the throttle servo so that unreasonable force is not applied when the engine carburetor is fully open, fully closed, and the brakes are applied fully. If the brakes overheat while running, their ability to function properly decreases. Before running, adjust the suitable maximum servo travel so that unreasonable force is not applied even when the servo travel is in-
creased while running. Decide the EPA value at the contact point. Adjust the steering servo so that unreason-
able force is not applied to the servo by the chassis at maximum servo travel. Warning Electronic Speed Control Install the heat sinks where they will not come in contact with aluminum, carbon fiber or other parts that con-
duct electricity. If the ESC (Electronic speed control) heat sinks touch other materials that conduct electricity a short circuit could occur. This could re-
sult in loss of control and damage to the system. 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. 1 2 3
"+" side
"-" side Schottky diode Motors with no suppressor capacitors, or inadequate suppression, may cause the receiver to malfunction. Always solder the capacitors supplied to your motor. The Schottky diode improves the efficiency of the speed control / motor combination and provides ex-
tra protection to the brake FETs. The white ring must always face the positive side. Other Noise Suppression Methods Be sure there are no metal parts in your model which under vibration can come in contact with other metal parts. Metal to metal contacts under vibration will emit a high frequency noise that will affect the receivers performance. You could experi-
ence erratic operation and reduced range as well as loss of control. 27 Installation Initial Set-Up Preparations (Transmitter) Before setting the Transmitter functions, check and set these items next.
(Display when power switch turned on) When the power switch is turned on, the currently selected model number is displayed. Check if this number is the model number you want to set-up. To change the model number, use the Model Select function (page 59). Turn on the transmitter power. The model number is dis-
played. Voltage check Receiver system check The telemetry ON/OFF and communication status checked.
(HOME screen) In case of T-FHSS SR system, check the channel set to SR mode. Channels set to SR mode are indicated as "S"
before channel # (SR mode setting is see page 33). Receiver System Check (RECEIVER) This system sets the Receiver system of the transmitter to match the receiver and ser-
vos used. The T4PM transmitter uses the telemetry type T-FHSS ("TFH") system or T-FHSS SR
("TFH-SR") system. It can also use the conventional S-FHSS ("SFH") system. Since the R334SBS and R334SBS-E receivers supplied with the T4PM set uses the T-
FHSS SR (Super response) or telemetry function T-FHSS system, T4PM receiver setup must be set to the T-FHSS high speed system ("TFH-HI"), the T-FHSS normal system
("TFH-NR") or T-FHSS SR ("TFH-SR"). Since the T- FHSS SR system cannot be used for R304SB, R304SB-E, R314SB and R314SB-E receivers, set it to the T-FHSS high speed system ("TFH-HI") or the T-FHSS normal system ("TFH-NR"). The RA-42 receiver for Futaba exclusive to Kyosho Mini-Z Evo can be used for T4PM transmitter. When using it, set it to the MINIZ system.

After the receiver LED switches from blinking red to green - red - green steady light, the T4PM generates an electronic beeping sound, and "LINK:OK" and
"COMPLETE!" appear on the screen. Reading of the mutual IDs ends and the memorized receiver ID num-
ber appears on T4PM screen. If an
"TIME OUT" screen appears, linking failed. Retry linking. If the transmit-
ter and receiver are linked normally, set the power switch to the OFF po-
sition and then return it to the PWR ON position. If the receiver LED lights green, linking was successful. Now check servo operation. R334SBS / R334SBS-E receiver software version The software version is displayed only on the "T -
FHSS" system (telemetry on the transmitter, when the receiver power is on). TIME OUT screen
*The T4PM and a telemetry type T-FHSS receiver (R334SBS, etc.) mutually memorize the combined ID linked last at each model memory. Since the T4PM can memorize only 1 receiver ID at each model memory, multiple T-FHSS receivers cannot be used with the same model memory. When changing the receiver at the same model memory, re-link the previously linked receiver. When using multiple telemetry type T-FHSS receivers, link and combine them with each T4PM model memory. However, multiple receivers cannot be linked to multiple model memories. The telemetry function communications status can be checked at the HOME screen. I n i t i a l S e t

Warning After the linking is done, please cycle receiver power and check if the receiver to be linked is really under the control of your transmitter. If there are many Futaba 2.4GHz systems (T-FHSS SR / T-FHSS / S-FHSS / MINIZ) turned on in close proximity to your receiv-
er might not link to your transmitter. In this case, even if the receivers 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 double-check whether your receiver is really under control by your transmitter by giving the stick input and then checking the servo response. Do not perform the linking procedure with motors main wire connected or the engine operating as it may re-
sult in serious injury. I n i t i a l S e t

U p 32 How to set the SR mode Channel In the case of T-FHSS SR, "SR mode" which has greatly improved response compared to the conventional T-FHSS can be used. The display changes when you change it. Be sure to turn off the power of the receiver before operation check. In SR mode, ON/ OFF can be set for each channel. When using normal servo or ESC, set the SR mode of the connected channel to (OFF). Note: In SR mode ON, normal servo, ESC and gyro will not operate. Please set our S.BUS servo corre-
sponding to SR mode to SR mode on S.BUS servo menu and use it. Also, in case of SR mode OFF, the servo set to SR mode cannot be used, so set the servo to normal mode by S. BUS servo menu. If using wrong com-
bination, servo and other equipment will fail, so please be careful.

Idle up (throttle) / Throttle off, Engine Cut (throttle) Program mixing slave side (all channels) ATL trim ATL trim allows adjustment of the brake side operation amount during operation. Therefore, when the operating angle is adjusted with throttle END POINT, ATL trim must also be taken into account. Warning Operate each servo over its full stroke and be sure the linkage does not bind or is not loose. The continuous application of unreasonable force to a servo may cause damage and excessive battery drain. Caution!
A whining noise indicates that the steering servo is improperly set. Decide the END POINT value at the contact point. Adjust the steering servo so that unreason-
able force is not applied to the servo by the chassis at maximum servo travel. Adjust the throttle servo so that unreasonable force is not applied when the engine carburetor is ful-
ly open, fully closed, and the brakes are applied fully. If the brakes overheat while running, their ability to function properly decreases. Before running, adjust the suitable maximum servo travel so that unreasonable force is not applied even when the servo travel is increased while running. End Point Adjuster "END POINT"

(All channel) Fail-safe Function "FAIL SAFE"
Fail-safe Mode (F/S) This function moves each servo to a preset position when the receiver cannot receive the signals from the transmitter for some reason.
-The fail-safe data is transferred from the transmitter to the receiver 10 seconds after the transmitter power was turned on. The data is transferred every 5 seconds after that. Be careful because normally the transmitter power is turned on fi rst and the receiver power is turned on next and the data is transferred for approximately 10 seconds after the receiver power is turned on.
-For gas power cars, for safety we recommend that this fail-safe function be used to set the throttle channel in the direction in which the brakes are applied. Hold mode (HOLD) This function holds the receiver in its position immediately before reception was lost. Off mode (OFF) This function stops output of signals to the servos and places the servos into the free state when the receiver cannot receive.
*The F/S, HOLD, and OFF modes are automatically reset when signals from the trans-
mitter can be received again. Battery fail-safe function (B-FS) If the receiver battery voltage drops below a certain value when this function is en-
abled, the throttle servo moves to the position set by fail-safe function. When the bat-
tery voltage recovers, the battery fail-safe function is automatically reset.
