Assembly Precautions
Warning
Do not cut or alter from the original length.
If the receiver antenna length is altered, the receiver will be adversely effected. The
receiver will become considerably more susceptible to interference and high fre-
quency noise which will result in loss of range and control.
Check the receiver, servos, and battery connectors, to be sure they are firmly
connected.
If a connector is not fully inserted, vibration may cause the connector to work loose
while the model is operating. This will result in loss of control.
Operate each servo horn over its full stroke and check to see that the linkage
does not bind or is not too loose.
Excessive force applied to the servo horn by binding or poor installation may lead to
servo problems and cause result in loss of control.
(Electric Car's and Boat's)
Isolate the receiver from vibration by attaching to the chassis or mounting plate
with thick double sided tape.
(Gas Powered Car's and Boat's)
Isolate the receiver from vibration by wrapping it in foam rubber or similar type
cushioning material. Protect the unit from water damage by placing it in a plas-
tic bag or waterproof radio box.
The receiver contains precision electronic parts. These parts are vulnerable to vibra-
tion and shock. Any contact with moisture (water or condensation) may cause receiver
malfunction and loss of control.
Keep all devices that may omit high frequency noise, such as motor's, batteries,
and wiring that handle heavy current loads, at least 1/2 inch away from the
receiver and receiver antenna.
High frequency noise will cause a decrease in operating range and could cause loss of
control.
Use only genuine Futaba crystal set's as specified in this instruction manual.
The use of other than Futaba crystal set's will result in decrease of range as well as
loss of control. There are separate crystal's for the Transmitter and Receiver, there are
also crystal set's for AM, FM and Dual Conversion FM. Use only single conversion AM
crystal set's with this system.
Changing crystals in 75 MHz transmitter is illegal, however 27 MHz is allowable. (For
U.S.A.)
Install electronic speed control heat sinks as well as other components that
conduct electricity so they can not come in contact with aluminum, carbon
fiber or other materials that conduct electricity.
If for example the speed control came loose while the model was running and
touched an aluminum chassis a short circuit may occur that would cause irreparable
damage to the system as well as loss of control.
