IMPORTANT: Since the 2.4GHz have different characteristics than that of the conventional 27MHz and 72MHz
frequencies, please read this section carefully to maximize your enjoyment of the 2.4GHz system.

from the standard Futaba receiver. These receivers incorporate
two separate antennas into their design which enables them
to receive the radio frequency transmission at two different
locations.
Futaba's dual antenna diversity then seamlessly selects the best
signal reception between these antennas to ensure that there is no loss of signal.
• 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.

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

3. 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.
4. Keep the antennas away from the motor, ESC, and other noise sources as much as possible.

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.
