WARNING
NEVER
use dry batteries for the
power supply of the
R614FS as this
may cause difficulties with the receiver's
operation.
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, 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
R614FS 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 R614FS is compatible with the FASST-C2 system
transmitters (Futaba T4PK/T4PKS).
The receiver type setting of the transmitter is set in FASST-C2.
*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.

FASST-2.4GHz System
Diversity 4-Channel
Receiver for Model Car
Thank you for purchasing the
R614FS receiver.
The
R614FS 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. The "High Speed mode" only
accepts the digital servos, including BLS series, and
most peripheral equipments such as the brushless
ESCs. However, there is a transmitter that cannot
correspond, too.
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
R614FS is compatible with the FASST-C2 system
transmitters.
The
R614FS is equipped with the diversity antenna.
The
R614FS selects either the outer antenna or the
inner antenna which has better reception of signal.
