S-FHSS or FHSS system transmitter. The S-FHSS
system has two(2) operation mode as shown below.
•Normal mode/High Speed mode
The "Normal mode" accepts any type of servos
or the peripherals as the frame rate of the output
is 13.6ms. The "High Speed mode" only accepts
the digital servos, including BLS series, and most
peripheral equipments such as the brushless ESCs.
The frame rate of the outputs is 6.8ms.
Please pay special attention to the information
contained within this manual and transmitter's
manual in order to have a pleasant running/flying
experience.
The
R2104GF is compatible with the S-FHSS or

Link Procedure
Each transmitter has an individually assigned,
unique ID code. In order to start operation, 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 is to be used with another transmitter.
1
Place the transmitter and the receiver close
to each other within one (1) meter
2
Turn on the transmitter and the receiver.
3
Push and hold the Link switch on the
receiver.
4
When the link is complete, the LED on the
receiver changes to solid green.
* Please refer to the table below for LED status
and receiver condition.
No signal reception Red : On
Receiving signals Green: On
Receiving signals, but ID
is unmatched.
Green: Blink
* If there are many S-FHSS/FHSS systems turned
on around your receiver, it might not link to your
transmitter. In this case, even if the receiver’s
LED stays solid green, unfor tunately the
receiver might have established a link to one of
the 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
controlled by your transmitter by giving throttle
input, etc. and then checking servo response.
 WARNING
 After the linking is done, please
cycle receiver power and check if
the receiver to be linked is really under the
control by the transmitter to be linked.
 Do not perform the linking procedure
with motor's main wire connected or
with the engine operating as it may result in
serious injury.

Operating Precautions:
Once the
R2104GF detects the S-FHSS
normal mode, S-FHSS high speed
mode or FHSS mode, the detected
mode is locked as long as the power
is ON. When need to change the
mode, please cycle power.
Note: Futaba FHSS/S-FHSS system and FASST system are not compatible each other.
Usage condition on "High Speed mode"
 CAUTION
 When using the high-speed mode, use a
Futaba digital servo (including brushless
servo). Analog servos cannot be used.
• The use of analog servos may cause servo trouble.
