Receiver Mode Precautions

Caution
Be sure to use the T10PX receiver setting and the servo to be used under predetermined conditions.
Under other conditions, the set will not operate, or the specified performance will not be displayed even if it operates. In ad- dition, it may cause servo trouble. Futaba will not be responsible for problems caused by the use of other than genuine Futa- ba parts. Use the parts specified in the instruction manual and catalog

• For servos for which the operation mode can be set, change the servo operation mode according to the system to be used. If the operating modes of the
  system and servo are different, it will fail.

• Use UR servo (Set to UR mode) for UR mode. Use SR/UR servo (Set to SR mode) for SR mode.

• When the UR(SR) mode is ON, it is exclusively for our UR(SR) compatible servo. Using a servo other than the UR(SR) compatible servo may cause the servo or receiver to malfunction.

• If a normal servo is connected to a CH with UR/SR mode ON, there is a risk of damage.

• Do not connect UR/SR servo (set to UR/SR mode) and analog servo in digital servo mode.

• Do not connect UR/SR servo (set to UR/SR mode) in analog servo mode.

• UR/SR servo can be used digital or analog when set to normal mode.

• Connecting an UR/SR mode compatible servo set to UR/SR mode to the S (S.BUS2 port) may cause malfunction of the servo or receiver.

• Receiver battery: Matched to the ratings of the receiver and connected servo (dry cell battery cannot be used).

• Fail-safe Unit cannot be used because the system is different. Use the fail-safe function of the transmitter.
