Thank you for purchasing a Futaba R7008SB FASSTest-2.4GHz compatible receiver. The R7008SB receiver features bi-directional communication
with a FASSTest Futaba transmitter 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.

Usage precaution
• Analog servos cannot be used with the R7008SB in the FASSTest
12CH mode.
• The R7008SB receiver can only be used with FASSTest capable
transmitters.
• Don't connect to Extra Voltage before turning on a receiver.
 WARNING
 Changes or modification not expressly approved by the
party responsible for compliance could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.
 The R7008SB receiver should be protected from vibration
by foam rubber, Velcro or similar mounting methods.
Protect from moisture.
 Keep away from conductive materials to avoid short cir-
cuits.
Antenna installation precaution
 Do not cut or bundle the receiver antenna wire.
 Do not bend the coaxial cable. It causes damage.
 The antennas must be mounted in such a way to assure
they are strain relieved.
 Keep the antenna as far away from the motor, ESC and
other noise sources as you possibly can.
 Be sure that the two antennas are placed at 90 degrees to
each other.
• The R7008SB 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.

 WARNING
 You must leave 30mm at the tip of the antenna fully ex-
posed. The exposed antenna should be secured so that it
cannot move around or back inside of your aircraft.
