3PM 2.4GHz
System
Thank you for purchasing a 3PM 2.4GHz system. This system is based on the combination of
the newly developed 2.4GHz transmitter and its correspondent receiver. The system utilizes
the 2.4GHz-SS radio communication and an ultra small antenna. In addition, the system
inherits Futaba's unique HRS (High Response System).
Features
2.4GHzSS (Spread Spectrum) radio communication system
Frequency chann el setting unnece ssary: Sifting the channels within the 2.4GHz band
automatically, this system minimizes the interference from other 2.4GHz system.
Accepts no unwanted signals by using ID code
The function “Auto-Detect” is utilized to automatically determine which mode is active,
HRS or PPM mode. (R603FS)

Usage Precaution
WARNING
Special attention should be paid before turning on the system
while other cars are running or other airplanes are flying be-
cause the 2.4GHz RC system could potentially affect them.
WARNING
Be sure to set the Fail Safe function.

1
Install the R603FS receiver on the
car as follow;
Note: Th e op er at ing ra nge may be come
shorter, although depending on where
th e r eceiver and th e ant en na are
mounted.
WARNING
Install the antenna in the higher place as
shown in the figure.
Do not cut the antenna.
Keep the antenna away from the motor,
ESC and other noise sources as pos-
sible as you can.
Put the antenna in the antenna tube to
protect it.
Do not bend the coaxial cable. It causes
damage.
Wrap the receiver with something soft such as foam rubber to
avoid vibration. If there is a chance of getting wet, put the receiv-
er in a waterproof bag or balloon to avoid water.
CAUTION
Always use R603FS under the following conditions;
Power supply; 6V Nicd battery (PPM/HRS mode)
Servo; 6V type Futaba Digital Servo (HRS mode)
*
If the conditions are different, control is impossible or the servo may be damaged.
How to turn on the power
A certain ID number is given to the receiver automatically. Identifying
this ID number, the system will minimize the interference from other
transmitters.
1
Bring the transmitter and the receiver close to each other
within one meter.
2
Turn on the transmitter.
LED and
F/S switch
Note: Check the LED on the rear of the transmitter.
Parameter check for 0.5 seconds after power-on Red: On
Transmitting signals Green: On
F/S is activated by the F/S switch of the transmit-
ter. (PPM mode)
Green: Blink
Unrecoverable failure (EEPROM, etc.)
Red and Green turn
on alternatively.
3
Turn on the receiver.
4
Push the tactile switch of the receiver.
Note: Check the LED of the receiver.
No signal reception Red : On
Receiving signals Green: On

Unrecoverable failure (EEPROM, etc.)
Red and Green turn
on alternatively.
How to Set the F/S Position
PPM mode only:
*HRS mode: Set the F/S function by the fail safe function menu.
1
Move and hold the throttle trigger (stick) to the F/S servo
position where you want to set (slow side) then push the F/S
switch on the transmitter.
The LED blinks green.
Note: Always set again when turning on the power.
Battery F/S function
The Battery F/S function becomes active when the voltage of the
receiver becomes 4.75V or less. The throttle servo move to the preset
F/S position.
