Futaba R2006GS - Manual (Page 2)

Attachment of the Module
 CAUTION
 Be sure to turn off the power of the transmitter before
you install or replace the module.
1 Ensure that the transmitter is set to the PPM (pulse
position modulation) mode. Please consult the
respective owner's manual for your particular transmitter
for information on how to do so.
2 While it is unlikely that the existing transmitter antenna
will interfere with the radio frequency transmission of
the TM-FH, we suggest removing it from the transmitter if
possible as a precaution.
3
Next, with the transmitter's power off, remove the
existing transmitter module and install the TM-
FH module with care so that the connector pins of the
transmitter won't be damaged.
Antenna of TM-FH
1 As with all radio frequency transmissions, the
strongest area of signal transmission is from the sides
of the TM-FH transmitter module's antenna. As such, the
antenna should not be pointed directly at the model. If
your flying style creates this situation, easily move the
antenna to correct this situation.
2 Please do not grasp the transmitter's antenna during
flight. Doing so may degrade the quality of the RF
transmission to the model.
Easy Link
Each TM-FH transmitter module has an individually assigned
unique ID code. In order to start operation, the receiver must
be linked to the respective TM-FH's ID code. Once the linking
is done, the ID code is stored in the receiver and the re-linking
is not necessary unless the receiver is to be used with a different
TM-FH module.
Additionally, it is important to note that this TM-FH and
R2006GS receiver set has already been linked by the factory.
Should you wish to re-link them, or if you have purchased
a separate receiver and would like to link it to this TM-FH,
please adhere to the following procedure.
 WARNING
 After the linking is done, please cycle receiver power and
check if the receiver to be linked is really under the con-
trol by the transmitter to be linked.
 Do not perform the linking procedure with motor's main
wire is connected or the engine is operating as it may
result in serious injury.
1 After the TM-FH module has been installed into the
transmitter, using the aforementioned steps, turn
on the transmitter. The RF output confirmation display
of the transmitter is confirmed. If not, power down the
transmitter and turn it on once again.
2 When the transmitter is turned on, the receiver is
turned on.
3 With the receiver on, press and hold the Easy Link
button, located on the receiver, for approximately two
seconds and release it. Then the receiver starts linking
procedure. When the linking process has been completed,
the LED on the receiver will change to a solid green and
the linking is established.
Receiver Installation
You will note that the R2006GS differs in appearance from
the standard Futaba receiver. The R2006GS incorporates two
separate antennas into its design which enables it to receive
the radio frequency transmission at two different locations.
Futaba's dual antenna diversity, or DAD, then seamlessly
selects the best signal reception between these antennas to
ensure that there is no loss of signal.
Antenna
*Must be kept as straight as possible.
Coaxial cable
To obtain the best results from the R2006GS receiver, please
refer to the following instructions and precautions:
1 Install the receiver in the aircraft using the same
methodology as you would handle a standard receiver.
That is, make sure that you wrap the receiver in foam
rubber or other such material to make it less susceptible
to vibration, etc.
2
Ensure that the two receiver antennas are kept as
straight as possible. This will allow you to obtain the
maximum effective range from your model.
3
If possible, please make sure that the two antennas
are placed at 90 degrees to each other. Please note:
This is not a critical figure, however, the most important
thing is to keep the antennas away from each other as
much as possible.
4 If your model includes metal conductive items which
may impact the receiver's ability to clearly receive the
radio frequency signal, we suggest mounting the receiver
so that the receiver antennas exit both sides of the model.
This will allow the best radio frequency signal condition at
any flying attitude.
5 Ensure that the antennas are at least 1/2" away from
any conductive materials such as metal and carbon.
Please note: this is not applicable to the coaxial portion
of the antenna. It is important, however, to not bend the
coax, or antenna in a tight radius.
6 If the fuselage is made of conductive materials such
as metal and carbon, the antennas part MUST be
positioned so that they exit the fuselage. Additionally, do
not attach the antenna itself to this fuselage.
* For example, there are many types of gliders which use carbon fu-
selage. When install the receiver into such models, it is imperative
that the antenna precautions are adhered to strictly.
 WARNING
 Be very careful when handling the receiver antennas.
Repeated bending and flexing of the antennas or exces-
sive force could weaken or compromise the internal antenna
connections.
 Keep the antennas away from the motor, ESC, and other
noise sources as much as possible.

Antenna
The main purpose of the Illustration demonstrates how the antenna
should be placed. For actual installation the receiver must be
wrapped with a sponge or placed with floating material to protect it
from vibration.
* The receiver contains delicate electronic parts and should be pro-
tected from vibration, shock and temperature extremes.
* The receiver is not impervious to damage from moisture. If moisture
should enter the receiver, intermittent operation or failure may result.
To prevent this from occurring, we suggest wrapping the receiver in
a plastic bag or similar protective covering. This will also protect the
receiver from any fuel or exhaust residue which can work its way
into the fuselage.
F/S (Fail Safe) mode setting
The F/S is suggested for use as it offers a safety factor when
controlling your models. It is also possible to cancel the F/
S operation if you do not wish to use it. As for F/S, only the
throttle servo (3ch) works.
F/S mode
The F/S mode sets responses in case of loss of signal or low Rx
battery. (ch3 only)
● HOLD : In case of loss of signal, the HOLD mode holds the
throttle servo in its last commanded position. (The RF output
confirmation display of the transmitter usually lights.)
● F/S : In case of loss of signal, the F/S mode holds
the throttle servo in its last commanded position for
one second and then moves the throttle servo to a
predetermined position. (The RF display blinks once at
power supply ON.)
● B.F/S (Battery Fail Safe) : When the airborne battery
voltage drops below approximately 3.8V, the B.F/S mode
moves the throttle servo to a predetermined position.
In case of loss of signal, the B.F/S mode holds the throttle
servo in its last commanded position for one second
and then moves the throttle servo to a predetermined
position. (The RF display blinks twice at power supply ON . )
Setting of the F/S (Failsafe) mode
Press and hold
the RANGE button.
Turn on the
transmitter.
The F/S mode is
selectable one by
one at this operation.

F/S position setting procedure
As mentioned at "Easy Link", the R2006GS starts linking
process by press the Easy Link button more than two seconds.
Meanwhile, when linking is done, the R2006GS stores
3ch(Throttle) position as the F/S position automatically. By
this way, the receiver renew the F/S data for current 3ch
position. Prior to doing so, ensure that the F/S is active. If not,
please follow the Setting of the F/S Mode procedure as noted
previously.
1 With the transmitter's throttle stick in the desired F/
S position(slow), and the receiver located within one
meter of the transmitter, turn on the transmitter.
2 With the transmitter on, turn on the receiver. Press
and hold the Easy Link button, located on the receiver,
for approximately two second.
3 Turn off the transmitter in five seconds. The throttle
servo should move to the pre-determined F/S position.
