 WARNING
 NEVER use dry batteries for the
power supply of the R614FF-E as this
may cause difficulties with the receiver's
operation.

NEVER use the R614FF-E in GP
cars.
 Wrap the receiver with something
soft,such as foam rubber,to avoid
vibration. Do not splash water over the
receiver.
 Since the receiver generates a
certain amount of heat, install the
place with good ventilation.
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 half (0.5) 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 LED: Red
Receiving signals LED: Green
Receiving signals, but ID
is unmatched.
LED: GreenBlink
Unrecoverable failure
(EEPROM,etc.)
LED: Red and Green
turn on alternately
* If there are many FASST 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, unfortunately 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.

Operating Precautions:
Once the
R614FF-E detects the
FASST normal mode or FASST high
speed mode , the detected mode is
locked as long as the power is ON.
When need to change the mode,
please cycle power.
Note: The R614FF-E is compatible with the FASST-C2 system
transmitters (Futaba T4PK/T4PKS).
*Futaba FASST system does not work with current Futaba S-FHSS/FHSS system.
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.

4-Channel Receiver
for EP Car Models
Thank you for purchasing the R614FF-E receiver.
The R614FF-E is designed for use with the Futaba
FASST-C2 system transmitter. The FASST system has
two(2) operation mode as shown below.
•Normal mode/High Speed mode
The "Normal mode" accepts any type of servos or
the peripheral equipment. The "High Speed mode"
only accepts the digital servos, including BLS series,
and most peripheral equipment such as the brushless
ESCs. However, there is a transmitter that cannot
correspond, to high speed mode.
Please pay special attention to the information
contained within this manual and transmitter's manual
in order to have a pleasant running experience.
•Built-in antenna
The
R614FF-E receiver is designed to be used only for
EP Car models.
T he R614FF-E is compatible with the
FASST-C2 system transmitters.
