1. Connect the transmitter charging jack and batteries to the transmitter and receiver connectors of the charger.
2. Plug the charger into a wall socket.
3. Check that the charger LED lights.
According to the description of the battery to be used
and its exclusive charger, please use it after carrying
out full charge.
We recommend charging the batteries with the charger supplied with your system. Note that the
use of a fast charger may damage the batteries by overheating and dramatically reduce their lifetime.
When HT5F1800B is chosen, HBC-3A (4) is
recommended.
When charging FT2F2100BV2, please make sure
to remove the battery from the system to charge it. Charger for this battery is recommended to use LBC-

Battery Care and Precautions
Below you will find some general rules and guidelines which should be adhered to when charging transmitter and/or receiver battery packs. These are included to serve only as general
guidelines, and are not intended to replace or supersede the information provided by the battery and/or charger manufacturer. For complete information, please refer to the instructions that are included with the battery pack(s) and/or chargers that accompany the products purchased.
• Do not allow children to charge battery packs without adult supervision.
• Do not charge battery packs that have been damaged in any way. We strongly suggest frequent inspection of the battery packs to ensure that no damage has occurred.
Do not to allow batteries to overheat! If overheated, disconnect the battery from the charger immediately and allow to cool.
Do not mix cells- all cells should be of the same material, conguration, etc.
Do not deep cycle NiMH batteries as permanent damage could result.
Never charge batteries on a surface that may become hot, or may be impacted by the heat.
Immediately end the charging procedure if either the batteries or charger itself become overly hot.
NiMH cells do not exhibit the “memory effect” like NiCd cells, so little cycling is needed. Store
NiMH packs with some voltage remaining on the cells (refer to battery supplier).
NiMH cells have a self-discharge rate of approximately 20-25% (compared to 15% for NiCd batteries). It is important to recharge NiMH batteries immediately prior to use.
Never connect the battery in reverse. Reverse connection will cause the battery to overheat or will damage the inside of the charger.
• Do not add an additional charge after charging.
Never charge with a current exceeding the nominal capacity (lC) of the rechargeable battery.
If a battery is charged with a current exceeding 1C, the battery will overheat and deteriorate.
• Do not connect two battery packs or more to one output terminal.
• Avoid extremely cold and hot places and the direct sunlight when you charge batteries.
It is recommended to perform charging within the 10 ~ 30°C (50-86°F) range. Otherwise, it may cause abnormal charging and overheat.

Stick tip A Locking piece B
lengthen or shorten your transmitter’s sticks, first unlock
the stick tip by holding locking piece B and turning stick
tip A counterclockwise. Next, move the locking piece B up or down (to lengthen or shorten). When the length feels comfortable, lock the position by turning locking piece B
counterclockwise.
STICK LEVER TENSION ADJUSTMENT
You may adjust the tension of your sticks to provide the feel that you prefer for ying. To adjust your springs, you’ll have to remove the rear case of the transmitter. First, remove the battery cover on the rear of the transmitter. Next, unplug the battery wire, and remove the battery from the transmitter. Next, using a screwdriver, remove the four screws that hold the transmitter’s rear cover in position, and put them in a safe place. Gently ease off the transmitter’s rear cover. Now you’ll see the view shown in the gure above. Using a small Phillips screwdriver, rotate the adjusting screw for each stick for the desired spring
tension. The tension increases when the adjusting screw is turned clockwise. When you are
satised with the spring tensions, reattach the transmitter's rear cover. When the cover is properly in place, reinstall and tighten the four screws. Reinstall the battery and cover.

LINK PROCEDURE (T6K/R3006SB)
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. When you purchase additional R3006SB receivers,
this procedure is necessary; otherwise the receiver will not work.
Link procedure
1. Place the transmitter and the receiver
close to each other within 20 inches(half
meter).
Less than 20 inches
2. Turn on the transmitter.
3. Select [MDL-SEL] and access the setup
screen shown below by press the jog key .
4. Use the jog key to select (NO LINK) or the
ID number next to LINK in the [MDL-SEL]
menu.
XXXXXXXXX
8. If the receiver ID is displayed in the transmitter and the LED changed from red blinking to a steady green light, linking is complete. (The receiver linking wait state ends in about 3 seconds.)
9. Check system operation. If the transmitter and receiver are not linked, try linking again.
* If there are many T-FHSS Air systems turned on in close
proximity, your receiver might have difculty establishing
a link to your transmitter. This is a rare occurrence.
However, should another T-FHSS Air transmitter/receiver be linking at the same time, your receiver could link to
the wrong transmitter. 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 really under control by your transmitter.
*When the linked transmitter power is turned on,
communications begins.
*When using 2 receivers, perform the linking operation the
same as the 1st receiver. (However, when 2 receivers are used, the telemetry system cannot be used.)
*Link is required when a new model is made from a model
selection.
Before use
5. Hold down the jog key to enter the link mode.
6. A chime from the transmitter notifies the operator that the transmitter has entered the link mode.
“Beep beep beep” (Enters the link mode for 20 seconds)
In "Link" Mode
Receiver ON
7. Immediately turn on the receiver power.
The receiver will enter the linking state
(LED blinks red) about 3 seconds after the receiver power is turned on.
WARNING
After the linking is done, please cycle receiver power and check that the receiver to be linked
is really under the control of the transmitter.
Don't perform the linking procedure with
motor's main wire connected or with the engine operating as it may result in serious injury.
*Link is required when a new
model is made from a model selection.
*When telemetry can't be used, try
a relink once again.

the SB/6 outputs can be changed from channels PWM 6 channel to S.BUS.
How to change the R3006SB Channel mode (S.BUS⇔6CH )
The R3006SB is capable of changing its channel
allocations as described in the table below.
1 Turn on the receiver. (At this moment, the
transmitter should be off.) Then, LED blinks RED in about 3 seconds. Next, wait until it becomes solid RED.
2 Press and hold the Mode switch more than 5
seconds.
3 Release the button when the LED blinks RED
and GREEN simultaneously.
4 The receiver is now in the "Operation CH Set"
mode. At this moment, the LED indicates
current set status through ashing a pattern
that corresponds to the CH mode.
*Cannot exit this CH setting mode before the operation mode is
xed.
**See the below table that shows correspondence between "CH mode" and way of ashing LED.
***Default CH mode is "Mode A (6CH)".
5 By pressing the Mode switch, the operation
CH is switched sequentially as " Mode A"
"Mode B" "Mode A"....
6 The operation mode will be set by pressing
the Mode switch more than 2 seconds at the desired CH mode.
7 Release the button when the LED blinks
RED and GREEN simultaneously. Then, the
operation CH is xed.
6 After confirming the operation CH mode is
changed, turn off and back on the receiver power.
*The “Operation CH Set” mode cannot be changed during the
receiver communicates to the transmitter.

RECEIVER's ANTENNA INSTALLATION
The R3006SB has two antennas. In order to maximize signal reception and promote safe
modeling Futaba has adopted a diversity antenna system. This allows the receiver to obtain RF signals on both antennas and y problem-free.
*Must be kept as straight as possible.
Antenna
Coaxial cable
To obtain the best results of the diversity
function, please refer to the following
Before use
instructions:
1. The two antennas must be kept as straight as possible. Otherwise it will reduce the effective range.
2. The two antennas should be placed at 90 degrees to each other.
Antenna
This is not a critical figure, but the most
important thing is to keep the antennas away from each other as much as possible.
Larger models can have large metal
objects that can attenuate the RF signal. In this case the antennas should be placed at both sides of the model. Then the best
RF signal condition is obtained at any ying
attitude.
3. The antennas must be kept away from conductive materials, such as metal, carbon and fuel tank by at least a half inch. The coaxial part of the antennas does not need to follow these guidelines, but do not bend it in a tight radius.
4. Keep the antennas away from the motor, ESC, and other noise sources as much as possible.
Antenna

*The two antennas should be placed at 90 degrees to each other. *The Illustration demonstrates how the antenna should be placed.
*Receiver Vibration and Waterproofing: The receiver contains precision electronic parts. Be sure to avoid vibration,
shock, and temperature extremes. For protection, wrap the receiver in foam rubber or other vibration-absorbing materials. It is also a good idea to waterproof the receiver by placing it in a plastic bag and securing the open end of the bag with a rubber band before wrapping it with foam rubber. If you accidentally get moisture or fuel inside the receiver, you may experience intermittent operation or a crash. If in doubt, return the receiver to our service center for service.

MOUNTING THE SERVO
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
when you install receiver and servos
WARNING
Connecting connectors
Be sure to insert the connector until it stops
at the deepest point.
Servo lead wires
To prevent the servo lead cable from being
broken by vibration during flight, provide a
little slack in the cable and fasten it at suitable
points. Periodically check the cable during daily
maintenance.
Margin in the lead wire.
Fasten about 5-10cm from the servo outlet so that the lead wire is neat.
MOUNTING THE POWER SWITCH
When mounting a power switch to an airframe,
make a rectangular hole that is a little larger than the total stroke of the switch so that you can turn
the switch ON/OFF without binding.
Avoid mounting the switch where it can be
covered by engine oil and dust. In general, it is
recommended to mount the power switch on the
side of the fuselage that is opposite the mufer.
How to protect the receiver from vibration and water
Wrap the receiver with something soft such
as foam rubber to avoid vibration. If there is a chance of getting wet, put the receiver in a waterproof bag or balloon to avoid water.
Receiver's antenna
Never cut the receiver's antenna. Do not bind the receiver's antenna with the cables
for servos.
Locate the receiver's antenna as far as possible from metals or carbon fiber
components such as frames, cables, etc.
*Cutting or binding the receiver's antenna will
reduce the radio reception sensitivity and range,
and may cause a crash.
Servo throw
Adjust your system so that pushrods will not
bind or sag when operating the servos to the full extent.
*If excessive force is continuously applied to a
servo, the servo could be damaged due to force
on the gear train and/or power consumption causing rapid battery drain.
Mounting servos
Use a vibration-proof rubber (such as rubber grommet) under a servo when
mounting the servo on a servo mount. And be sure that the servo cases do not touch directly to the metal parts such as servo mount.
*If the servo case contacts the airframe directly,
vibration will travel to and possibly damage the servo.
Before use

RANGE CHECK THE RADIO
A range check must be performed before the rst ight of a new model. It is not necessary to do a range check before every ight (but is not a bad idea to perform a range check before the rst ight of each day). A range check is the nal opportunity to reveal any radio malfunctions, and to
be certain the system has adequate operational range.
We have installed a special “Power Down Mode” in the T6K in order to perform an operational ground range check. During this mode, the RF power is reduced in order to test the operational range of the T6K.
To activate the Power Down Mode and Perform A Range Check:
1) To activate the “Power Down Mode” please hold
down the JOG KEY and then turn the transmitter switch
on. A power mode screen is displayed. Press the JOG KEY to select the Power Down function. When this
Before use
mode is active the red LED on the lighting from of
the transmitter will provide users with an audible and
visual indication that the transmitter is in the “Power Down Mode”. Audibly, the transmitter will beep one time every three seconds. Visually, the LCD screen will display “POWER DOWN MODE”. The words “POWER DOWN MODE” will blink as an additional reminder
that the transmitter is in the “Power Down Mode”.
2) With the “Power Down Mode” activated, walk away from the model while simultaneously operating the controls. Have an assistant stand by the model and signal what the controls are doing to conrm that they operate correctly. You
should be able to walk approximately 30-50 paces from the model without losing control.
3) If everything operates correctly, return to the model. Push END KEY and complete power down mode. Set the transmitter in a safe yet accessible location so it will be within reach after starting the engine. Be certain the throttle
stick is all the way down, and then start the engine. Perform another range check with your assistant holding the model
and the engine running at various speeds.
If the servos jitter or move inadvertently, there may be a problem. Do NOT y the aircraft! Look for loose servo
connections or binding pushrods. Also be certain that the battery has been fully charged.
4) NEVER start ying when the “Power Down Mode” is active.
Servo test operation at the time of Power Down Mode:
During Power Down mode, you can use automatic servo testing to check the range of a specied servo (it moves to right and left slowly).
1) A "SERVO" is chosen from a menu.
2) JOG KEY is moved to a side and 2 pages is called. Next, JOG KEY is moved down and CH is displayed.
3) CH of the servo which wants to operate is chosen. Then, the + KEY is pressed and it is made ACT.
The servo selected during Power Down Mode operates alone, allowing you to check its operation.
It is during Power Down Mode starting, and if "SERVO TEST" is turned ON, it will move.
*In the Power Down Mode, the throttle servo does not operate.
*Helicopter mode, condition is xed to NOR.
Select the "OFF" and press the Jog key. A screen opens without outputting power. The receiver does not operate.
Select the "ON" and press the Jog key. Power is usually outputted from power mode.
42
DANGER
NEVER start flying when the “Power Down
Mode” is active.
*Control is impossible and your model crashes.

S.BUS/S.BUS2 INSTALLATION
This set uses the S.BUS/S.BUS2 system. The wiring is as simplified and clean mounting as
possible, even with models that use a large number of servos. In addition, the wings can be
quickly installed to the fuselage without any extraneous wiring by the use of only one simple
wire, even when there are a large number of servos used.
●When using S.BUS/S.BUS2, special settings and mixes in your transmitter may be unnecessary.
●The S.BUS/S.BUS2 servos memorize the number of channels themselves. (Settable with the T6K)
●The S.BUS/S.BUS2 system and conventional system (receiver conventional CH used) can be mixed.

●When the throttle channel was reversed by servo reverse function, the F/S data is also reversed. (Throttle channel only) If the receiver battery voltage drops below the set value when the fail safe mode was selected, the battery fail safe function moves the servo to a preset position.
●The S-FHSS fail safe voltage is 3.8V.
●Only the throttle channel battery fail safe function can be turned on and off.

Reset method:
temporarily disabled by moving the throttle stick to the slowest side. However, after 30 seconds the battery fail safe function will return to the battery fail safe state.
For safety, always set the fail safe functions.
●Remember to set the throttle channel fail safe function so that
the servo moves to the maximum slow side for airplanes and to the slow side from the hovering position for helicopters. Crashing of the model at full high when normal radio waves cannot be received due to interference, etc., is very dangerous.
●If the battery fail safe is reset by the throttle stick, it may
be mistaken for an engine malfunction and will be reset at
throttle slow and the model will continue to y. If you have
any doubts, immediately land.

*There are a function which can be used according to the kind of servo, and an impossible
function.
ID = [ ID ]  
Displays the ID of the servo whose parameters are to be read. It cannot be changed.
CHAN ▶ [ Channel ]  
Channel of the S.BUS system assigned to the servo. Always assign a channel before use.
NEUT ▶ [ Neutral O󱐯set ]  
The neutral position can be changed. When the neutral o󱐯set is large value, the servo's range of travel is restricted on one side.
EPA ▶ [ Travel Adjust ]  
The left and right travels centered about the neutral position can be set independently.
Common function
DEAD ▶ [ Dead band ]  
The dead band angle at stopping can be specied.
[Relationship between dead band set value and servo operation]
Small → Dead band angle is small and the servo is immediately operated by a small signal
change.
Large → Dead band angle is large and the servo does not operate at small signal changes.
(Note) If the dead band angle is too small, the servo will operate continuously and the current consumption will increase and the life of the servo will be shortened.
REVE ▶ [ Reverse ]  
The direction in which the servo rotates can be changed.
STRE ▶ [ Stretcher ]  
The servo hold characteristic can be set. The torque which attempts to return the servo to the target position when the current servo position has deviated from the target position can be adjusted.
This is used when stopping hunting, etc., but the holding characteristic changes as shown below.
[Relationship between stretcher and servo operation]
Small → Servo holding force becomes weaker.
Large → Servo holding force becomes stronger.
(Note) When this parameter is large, the current consumption increases.
89
Page 90
BOST ▶ [ Boost ]  
The minimum current applied to the internal motor when starting the servo can be set. Since a small travel does not start the motor, it essentially feels like the dead band was expanded. The motor can be immediately started by adjusting the minimum current which can start the motor.
[Relationship between boost set value and servo operation]
Small → Motor reacts to a minute current and operation becomes smooth.
Large → Initial response improves and output torque increases. However, if the torque is too
large, operation will become rough.
DAMP ▶ [ Damper ]  
The characteristic when the servo is stopped can be set.
When smaller than the standard value, the characteristic becomes an overshoot characteristic. If the value is larger than the standard value, the brake is applied before the stop position.
Especially, when a large load is applied, overshoot, etc. are suppressed by inertia and hunting may occur, depending on the conditions. If hunting (phenomena which cause the servo
Common function
to oscillate) occurs even though the Dead Band, Stretcher, Boost and other parameters are suitable, adjust this parameter to a value larger than the initial value.
[Relationship between damper set value and servo operation]
Small → When you want to overshoot. Set so that hunting does not occur.
Large → When you want to operate so that braking is not applied. However, it will feel like
the servo response has worsened.
(Note) If used in the hunting state, not only will the current consumption increase, but the life of the servo will also be shortened.
BSTM ▶ ON/OFF [ Boost ON/OFF ]  
OFF : It is the boost ON at the time of low-speed operation.(In the case of usual)
ON : It is always the boost ON.(When quick operation is hope)
SPED ▶ [ Speed Control ]  
Speeds can be matched by specifying the operating speed. The speed of multiple servos can be matched without being a󱐯ected by motor uctuations. This is e󱐯ective for load torques below the maximum torque.
However, note that the maximum speed will not be exceed what the servo is capable of even if the servos operating voltage is increased.
STAR ▶ [ Soft Start ]  
Restricts operation in the specied direction the instant the power is turned on. By using this setting, the rst initial movement when the power is turned on slowly moves the servo to the specied position.
SMOT ▶ [ Smoother ]  
This function changes smoothness of the servo operation relative to stick movement changes. Smooth setting is used for normal flight. Select the "OFF" mode when quick operation is necessary such as 3D.

TIMER
Timer
Function
The timer is convenient during a competition to
set the specied amount of time or the ying time
on a full tank of fuel.
●The timers can be set for each model. Since the timers can be set to match the model, they do not have to be reset each time the model is changed
●The type of timer can be selected from among up (UP), down (DOWN), and down stop (DN-STP). The up timer is counted up from 0 and the elapsed time is displayed on the screen. The down timer is counted down from the set time and the remaining time is displayed on the screen. The down stop timer stops the count at 0. Each timer can be set up to 99 minutes 59 seconds.
●Switches A to D, throttle stick (ST-THR), or power switch (PWR-SW) can be selected as the start/

TRAINR
CAUTION
Trainer
(Common)
Function
Since the channel and operation mode used in training can be selected, the training difculty can be set
to match the student’s level.
The trainer function can be used by connecting the instructor’s transmitter to the student’s transmitter
using a special trainer cord (sold separately). Student operation is possible by instructor switch operation. If
the student enters a dangerous situation, control can be immediately switched to the instructor.
● Four operation modes can be selected at each channel.
● The trainer switch is set to switch D.
When the trainer function is used, cancel the function assigned to the switch D. THR-HOLD of a helicopter can't be used.
Trainer code
Teacher
Use the trainer function under the following conditions:
● When the instructor uses a T6K transmitter, set the student’ s transmitter modulation to PPM (for conventional frequency transmitter). (When the student uses a T6K transmitter, the modulation mode does not have to be changed. A PPM signal is always output from the trainer jack.)
● Before ight always conrm that all the instructor and student channels operate normally as set.
● Always insert the trainer cord as far as it will go and take measures so that the cord will not work
Common function
loose during use.
● Always remove the high frequency module of the student’ s transmitter. (For module type)
● Never turn on the student’ s transmitter power switch.
Trainer function operation modes
● FNC mode: The channel set to this mode can be controlled by the student using the mixing set at
the instructor’ s transmitter. *Student settings are returned to their initial value in advance. Next,
reverse function makes all channels normal.
● NOR mode: The channel set to this mode is controlled by signals from the student’ s transmitter. (The
instructor and student settings must be the same.)
●OFF mode: The channel set to this mode cannot be controlled by the student. It can only be controlled
by the instructor.
However, channels not provided at the student’ s transmitter are controlled by the instructor regardless of the above settings.
When other models are selected, the trainer function is deactivated, but the channel settings remain.
Example of use
● When the FUNC mode is set at the stick channel, helicopter stick operation training is possible even
with a 4EX transmitter (4 channels for aircraft).
● Control by the instructor is possible by setting only the training channel matched to the student’ s
level to the NORM mode and setting the other channels to the OFF mode.

The aileron, elevator and rudder channel control surface angle can be switched in 2(3) steps
●The control surface angle is adjusted by each direction of the switch. The direction of each switch can be set individually.
EXP
This function makes operation more pleasant by changing the operating curve so that servo movement is sluggish or sensitive relative to stick operation near the aileron, elevator, throttle, and rudder neutral position. Adjustments can be made in 2(3) steps according to the control surface angle.
●The “-” side makes servo movement sluggish and the “+” side makes servo movement sensitive near the neutral position. Exponential is applied to entire throttle servo travel. When the “+” side is increased, the slow side becomes sluggish and the high side becomes sensitive.
●Setting corresponding to each rate of dual rate (D/R) is possible. (Except throttle) The direction of each switch and the left and right (up and down) direction of each channel can be set individually.
