Introduction
NiMH/NiCd Battery
Charge the batteries! (See Charging the NiCd batteries, for details.) Always recharge the
transmitter and receiver batteries before each ying session. A low battery will soon die
potentially, causing loss of control and a crash. When you begin your ying session, reset
your T10J’s built-in timer, and during the session pay attention to the duration of usage.
Stop flying long before your batteries become low on charge. Do not rely on your
radio’s low battery warning systems, intended only as a precaution, to tell you when to
recharge. Always check your transmitter and receiver batteries prior to each ight.
Where to Fly
We recommend that you y at a recognized model airplane ying eld. You can nd model
clubs and elds by asking your nearest hobby dealer, or in the US by contacting the Academy
of Model Aeronautics.
You can also contact the national Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA), which has more
than 2,500 chartered clubs across the country. Through any one of them, instructor training
programs and insured newcomer training are available. Contact the AMA at the address or toll-
free phone number below.

Tele. (800) 435-9262
Fax (765) 289-4248
or via the Internet at http:\\www.
modelaircraft.org
Always pay particular attention to the ying eld’s rules, as well as the presence and
location of spectators, the wind direction, and any obstacles on the eld. Be very careful
ying in areas near power lines, tall buildings, or communication facilities as there may be
radio interference in their vicinity.

Introduction
IMPORTANT!
Use only the Futaba special charger included with this set or other chargers approved by
Futaba to charge the NiMH batteries in the T10J transmitter included with this set.
It is important to understand the operating characteristics of NiMH/NiCd batteries.Always read
the specifications printed on the label of your NiMH/NiCd battery and charger prior to use.
Failure to follow the proceeding precautions can quickly result in severe, permanent damage to
the batteries and its surroundings and possibly result in a FIRE!
IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
NiMH/NiCd Battery Safety and Handling instructions
Do not attempt to disassemble NiMH/NiCd packs or cells.
Do not allow NiMH/NiCd cells to come in contact with moisture or water at any time.
Always provide adequate ventilation around NiMH/NiCd batteries during charge, discharge, while in
use, and during storage.
Do not leave a NiMH/NiCd battery unattended at any time while being charged or discharged.
Do not attempt to charge NiMH/NiCd batteries with a charger that is NOT designed for NiMH/NiCd
batteries, as permanent damage to the battery and charger could result.
Always charge NiMH/NiCd batteries in a reproof location. Do not charge or discharge NiMH/NiCd
batteries on carpet, a cluttered workbench, near paper, plastic, vinyl, leather or wood, or inside an R/
C model or full-sized automobile! Monitor the charge area with a smoke or re alarm.
Do not charge NiMH/NiCd batteries at currents greater than the “1C” rating of the battery (“C”
equals the rated capacity of the battery).
Do not allow NiMH/NiCd cells to overheat at any time! Cells which reach greater than 140 degrees
Fahrenheit (60°C) should be placed in a reproof location.
NiMH/NiCd cells will not charge fully when too cold or show full charge.
It is normal for the batteries to become warm during charging, but if the charger or battery becomes
excessively hot disconnect the battery from the charger immediately!! Always inspect a battery
which has previously overheated for potential damage, and do not re-use if you suspect it has been
damaged in any way.
Do not use a NiMH/NiCd battery if you suspect physical damage has occurred to the pack. Carefully
inspect the battery for even the smallest of dents, cracks, splits, punctures or damage to the wiring
and connectors. DO NOT allow the battery’s internal electrolyte to get into eyes or on skin—wash
affected areas immediately if they come in contact with the electrolyte. If in doubt, place the battery
in a re-proof location for at least 30 minutes.
Do not store batteries near an open ame or heater.
Do not discharge NiMH/NiCd batteries at currents which exceed the discharge current rating of the
battery.
Always store NiMH/NiCd cells/packs in a secure location away from children.

Introduction
At the ying eld
To prevent possible damage to your radio gear, turn the power switches on and off in the
proper sequence:
1. Pull throttle stick to idle position, or otherwise disarm your motor/engine.
2. Turn on the transmitter power and allow your transmitter to reach its home screen.
3. Conrm the proper model memory has been selected.
4. Turn on your receiver power.
5. Test all controls. If a servo operates abnormally, don’t attempt to y until you determine the
cause of the problem.
Test to ensure that the FailSafe settings are correct after adjusting them. Turn the transmitter
off and conrm the proper surface/throttle movements. Turn the transmitter back on.
6. Start your engine.
7. Complete a full range check.
8. After ying, bring your throttle stick to idle position, engage any kill switches or otherwise
disarm your motor/engine.
9. Turn off receiver power.
10. Turn off transmitter power.
If you do not turn on your system in this order, you may damage your servos or control
surfaces, ood your engine, or in the case of electric-powered or gasoline-powered models, the
engine may unexpectedly turn on and cause a severe injury.
While you are getting ready to y, if you place your transmitter on the ground, be sure
that the wind won't tip it over. If it is knocked over, the throttle stick may be accidentally
moved, causing the engine to speed up. Also, damage to your transmitter may occur.
In order to maintain complete control of your aircraft it is important 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.
Do not grasp the transmitter's antenna during ight. Doing so may degrade the quality
of the radio frequency transmission.
As with all radio frequency transmissions, the strongest area of signal transmission is from
the sides of the transmitter's antenna. As such, the antenna should not be pointed directly at
the model. If your ying style creates this situation, easily move the antenna to correct this
situation.
Don’t y in the rain! Water or moisture may enter the transmitter through the antenna or
stick openings and cause erratic operation or loss of control. If you must y in wet weather
during a contest, be sure to cover your transmitter with a plastic bag or waterproof barrier.
Never y if lightning is expected.

CHARGING THE BATTERIES
r
Charging Your System’s Batteries
1. Connect the transmitter charging jack and batteries to the transmitter and receiver connectors
2. Plug the charger into a wall socket.
3. Check that the charger LED lights.
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.

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 FT2F2100B, please make sure to
remove the battery from the system to charge it.
Charger for this battery is recommended to use LBC4E5.
• 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, conguration, 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 (50-85°F) range. Otherwise, it may
cause abnormal charging and overheat.
Before use
ADJUSTING THE LENGTH OF THE CONTROL STICKS
You may change the length of the control sticks to make

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
satised 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 (T10J/R3008SB)
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 R3008SB 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.
MDL-SEL
SELE▶ 1 MODEL-0001
COPY▶ 1 MODEL-0001
REST▶ Execute
RX▶ T-FHSS
LINK▶ ID= 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 difculty 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.)
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.

RECEIVER's ANTENNA INSTALLATION
R3008SB Receiver
The R3008SB 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.

function, please refer to the following
instructions:
1. The two antennas must be kept as straight
2. The two antennas should be placed at 90

as possible. Otherwise it will reduce the
effective range.
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.

*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.

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.

that the lead wire is neat.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
when
you install receiver and servos
Warning
Connecting connectors
Be sure to insert the connector until it
stops at the deepest point.
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
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 mufer.
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.
