Thank you for purchasing the TM-14 2.4GHz FASST transmitter
module and R6014FS receiver. This system is designed for
use only with the Futaba transmitters indicated elsewhere in
this manual. In order to use the TM-14 transmitter module,
you will need to carefully remove the existing transmitter
module and replace it with the TM-14 transmitter module. The
receiver R6014FS, as the model number indicates, is capable
of controlling models up to 14(fourteen channels)- 12(twelve)
proportional and two digital. Please note: The installation of the
R6014FS differs slightly from that of a typical receiver. Please
pay special attention to the information contained within this

T12FG, T12Z and T14MZ
*Each of the aforementioned transmitters includes a region specifi c
code. This code varies depending upon the region in which the trans-
mitter was purchased. If the region specifi c code within the transmit-
ter does not match that of the TM-14 module an error message will
be displayed on the screen. For example, when using an incorrect
module in either the T14MZ or T12Z, the error message will indicate:
"MISMATCHED RF MODULE". With the T12FG, the on-screen mes-
sage will be as follows: "INCORRECT RF MODULE". In either situ-
ation, we suggest that you contact the Futaba Service Center at the
address provided elsewhere within this manual.

Mark Meaning
Procedures which may lead to a dangerous condition and cause
death or serious injury to the user if not carried out properly.
Procedures which may lead to a dangerous condition or cause death
or serious injury to the user if not carried out properly, or procedures
where the probability of superficial injury or physical damage is high.
Procedures where the possibility of serious injury to the user is
small, but there is a danger of injury, or physical damage, if not
carried out properly.
Usage Precautions:
1) Prior to utilizing any radio control system, it is strongly recom-
mended that you read and abide by the Safety Code created
by the Academy of Model Aeronautics as well as any site spe-
cifi c rules and regulations that might exist. Doing so will greatly
increase your enjoyment of the hobby.
2) In order to maintain complete control of your aircraft it is im-
portant that it remains visible at all times. Flying behind large
objects such as buildings, grain bins, etc. is not suggested.
Doing so may result in the reduction of the quality of the radio
frequency link to the model.
3) Please do not grasp the transmitter module's antenna during
fl ight. Doing so may degrade the quality of the radio frequency
transmission.
