Use this product in a safe manner. Please observe the following safety precautions at
all times.
Explanation of Symbols
The parts of this manual indicated by the following symbols are extremely important
and must be observed.
For Your Safety As Well As That Of Others

Danger ation and may cause death or serious injury if ignored and
not performed properly.
Warning
Prohibited Procedures
Special attention should be paid before turning on the system while other cars are run-
ning or other airplanes are flying because the 2.4GHz RC system could potentially af-
fect them.
Caution
Mandatory Procedures
Always use R603FF under the following conditions;
Power supply: 6V Nicd battery (PPM/HRS mode)
Servo: 6V type Futaba Digital Servo (HRS mode)
If these conditions are not followed, control may be impossible or the servo may be damaged.

antenna may be damaged. These parts may be very hot and can cause serious burns.
Mandatory Procedures
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.
7
(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.
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.
Setting example: Throttle idle or brake position

Before Using
Features
This system is based on the combination of the newly developed 2.4GHz transmitter
and its corresponding receiver. The system utilizes the 2.4GHz-SS radio communica-
tion and an ultra small antenna. In addition, the system inherits Futaba's unique HRS
(High Response System).

Set Contents
Your 3PM 2.4GHz system includes the following:
Transmitter T3PM-2.4G
Receiver R603FF
Before Using
- If any of the set contents are missing, or you have any questions, please contact the
dealer where the unit was purchased.
Caution
Always use R603FF under the following conditions:
Power supply: 6V NiCd battery (PPM/HRS mode)
Servo: 6V type Futaba Digital Servo (HRS mode)
If the conditions are different, control is impossible or the servo may be damaged.
Caution
Always use only genuine Futaba transmitter, receiver, FET amp, NiCd battery and other
optional parts.
Futaba will not be responsible for damage caused by other than genuine Futaba parts and components. Use only
the genuine Futaba parts and components listed in the instruction manual and catalog.

- Each step is indicated by a tone.
- When the trim exceeds the maximum trim adjustment
range, the tone will change pitch and the lever will not
move any farther.
Trim Operation
With the digital trim feature, trim adjustments have no effect on the maximum servo
travel. This prevents the linkages from binding when adjustments are made.

Initial Set-Up
How to link the transmitter and the receiver
Each transmitter has an individually assigned, unique ID code. In order to start opera-
tion, the receiver must be linked with the ID code of the transmitter with which it is
being paired. Once the link is made, the ID code is stored in the receiver and no
further linking is necessary unless the receiver needs to be used with an other trans-
mitter. (For T/R set, the link is already done at factory.)
Link procedure
1. Bring the transmitter and the receiver close to each other, within one meter.
2. Turn on the transmitter.
3. Check the LED that is placed on the back side of the LED and

*Please refer the table below for LED status vs transmitter's condition.

This function moves the steering, throttle and channel 3 servos to a preset position
when the receiver cannot receive the signal from the transmitter for some reason.
When the servo operation position is not set, this function operates so that the servos
remain in the position they were in immediately before reception was lost. When the
signal from the transmitter can be received again, this function automatically resets.
