2.4GHz System Precautions
Warning
Special attention should be paid before turning on the system while other cars
are running or other airplanes are flying because the 2.4GHz RC system could
potentially affect them.
Be sure to set the Fail-safe function.
Receiver Servo 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
addition, it may cause servo trouble. Futaba will not be responsible for
problems caused by the use of other than genuine Futaba 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 SR servo for SR mode. When the SR mode is ON, it is exclusively for our SR
compatible servo. Using a servo other than the SR
compatible servo may cause the servo or receiver to malfunction. If a normal
servo is connected to a CH with SR mode ON, there is a risk of damage. Do not
connect SR servo (set to SR mode) and analog servo in digital servo mode. Do
not connect SR servo (set to SR mode) in analog servo mode. SR servo can be
used digital or analog when set to normal mode. Connecting an SR mode
compatible servo set to SR mode to the S (S.BUS2 port) may cause malfunction
of the
servo or receiver. Refer to country distributor WEB for detailed the “S. BUS
servo menu” and the “SR mode setting”
explanation. 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.

Operation Precautions
Warning
Do not operate outdoors on rainy days, run through puddles of water or use
when visibility is limited. Should any type of moisture (water or snow) enter
any component of the system, erratic operation and loss of control may occur.
Do not operate in the following places. -Near other sites where other radio
control activity may occur. -Near people or roads. -On any pond when passenger
boats are present. -Near high tension power lines or communication
broadcasting antennas.
Interference could cause loss of control. Improper installation of your Radio
Control System in your model could result in serious injury. Do not operate
this R/C system when you are tired, not feeling well or under the influence of
alcohol or drugs.
Your judgment is impaired and could result in a dangerous situation that may
cause serious injury to yourself as well as others. Do not touch the engine,
motor, speed control or any part of the model that will generate heat while
the model is operating or immediately after its use.
These parts may be very hot and can cause serious burns. Always perform an
operating range check prior to use.
Problems with the radio control system as well as improper installation in a
model could cause loss of control. (Simple range test method) Have a friend
hold the model, or clamp it down or place it where the wheels or prop cannot
come in contact with any object. Walk away and check to see if the servos
follow the movement of the controls on the transmitter. Should you notice any
abnormal operation, do not operate the model. Also check to be sure the model
memory matches the model in use. Turning on the power switches. Always check
the throttle trigger on the transmitter to be sure it is at the neutral
position. 1. Turn on the transmitter power switch. 2. Turn on the receiver or
speed control power switch. Turning off the power switches Always be sure the
engine is not running or the motor is stopped. 1. Turn off the receiver or
speed control power switch. 2. Then turn off the transmitter power switch.
If the power switches are turned off in the opposite order, the model may
unexpectedly run out of control and cause a very dangerous situation. When
making adjustments to the model, do so with the engine not running or the
motor disconnected. You may unexpectedly lose control and create a dangerous
situation.
Before running (cruising), check the fail-safe function. Check Method; Before
starting the engine, check the fail-safe function as follows:
- Turn on the transmitter and receiver power switches. 2) Wait at least one
minute, then turn off the transmitter power switch. (The transmitter
automatically transfers the fail-safe data to the receiver every minute.) 3)
Check if the fail-safe function moves the servos to the preset position when
reception fails. The fail-safe function is a safety feature that minimizes set
damage by moving the servos to a preset position when reception fails.
However, if set to a dangerous position, it has the opposite effect. When the
reverse function was used to change the operating direction of a servo, the
fail-safe function must be reset. Setting example: Throttle idle or brake
position
Battery Handling Precautions
Warning
Never plug the charger into an outlet of other than the indicated voltage. Plugging the charger into the wrong outlet could result in an explosion or fire. Never insert or remove the charger while your hands are wet. You may get an electric shock. Do not use the T10PX transmitter’s battery as the receiver’s battery. Since the transmitter’s battery has an overload protection circuit, the output power will be shut down when the high current load is applied. This may result in runaway or fatal crash. Always check to be sure your batteries have been charged prior to operating the model. Should the battery go dead while the model is operating, loss of control will occur and create a very dangerous situation. To recharge the transmitter battery, use the special charger made for this purpose. Overcharging could cause the battery to overheat, leak or explode. This may lead to fire, burns, loss of sight and many other types of injuries.
Caution
Do not use commercial AA size NiCd and NiMH batteries. Quick charging may cause the battery contacts to overheat and damage the battery holder.
5
When running (cruising), do not use the dry cell battery box at the
transmitter. The accessory dry cell battery box is for performance checks. Do
not use it for other than performance checks. The dry cell batteries will be
separated from the battery box contacts by shock and the power may be cut off.
There is the danger of collision if the power is cut while running (cruising).
The use of Futaba genuine NiMH/LiFe or LiPo batteries is strongly recommended.
Do not short circuit the battery terminals. A short circuit across the battery
terminals may cause abnormal heating, fire and burns. Do not drop the battery
or expose it to strong shocks or vibrations. The battery may short circuit and
overheat; electrolyte may leak out and cause burns or chemical damage. When
the model is not being used, always remove or disconnect the battery. Leaving
the battery connected could create a dangerous situation if someone
accidentally turns on the receiver power switch. Loss of control could occur.
Always keep the charger disconnected from the outlet while it is not in use.
Storage And Disposal Precautions
Warning
Do not leave the radio system or models within the reach of small children. A
small child may accidentally operate the system. This could cause a dangerous
situation and injuries. Batteries can be very dangerous when mishandled and
cause chemical damage.
Do not throw batteries into a fire. Do not expose batteries to extreme heat.
Also do not disassemble or modify a battery pack. Overheating and breakage
will cause the electrolyte to leak from the cells and cause skin burns, loss
of sight, and other injuries. When the system will not be used for any length
of time, store the system with NiMH batteries in a discharged state. Be sure
to recharge the batteries prior to the next time the system is used. If the
batteries are repeatedly recharged in a slightly discharged state, the memory
effect of the NiMH battery may considerably reduce the capacity. A reduction
in operating time will occur even when the batteries are charged for the
recommended time. (After discharge to 1cell E.V.=1 V) When a LiFe/LiPo battery
pack will not be used for a long time, to prevent it from deteriorating we
recommend that it be kept in about the half capacity state instead of fully
charged. Also be careful that the battery does not enter the over-discharged
state due to self-discharge. Periodically (about every 3 months) charge the
battery.
Warning
Do not store your R/C system in the following places. – Where it is extremely
hot or cold. – Where the system will be exposed to direct sunlight. – Where
the humidity is high. – Where vibration is prevalent. – Where dust is
prevalent. – Where the system would be exposed to steam and condensation.
Storing your R/C system under adverse conditions could cause deformation and
numerous problems with operation. If the system will not be used for a long
period of time, remove the batteries from the transmitter and mod-
el and store in a cool, dry place. If the batteries are left in the
transmitter, electrolyte may leak and damage the transmitter. This applies to
the model also. Remove the batteries from it also to prevent damage.
<NiMH/NiCd Battery Electrolyte>
The electrolyte in NiCd / NiMH batteries is a strong alkali. Should you get
even the smallest amount of the electrolyte in your eyes, DO NOT RUB. Wash
immediately with water, and seek medical attention at once. The electrolyte
can cause blindness. If electrolyte comes in contact with your skin or
clothes, wash with water immediately.

battery holder.
Battery Replacement Method
1 Remove the battery cover from the transmitter by
sliding it in the direction of the arrow in the figure.
2 Remove the used batteries.
Caution
If you remove the dry cell battery box from the transmitter, replace it
carefully with the wiring on the same side as before. Reinstalling the battery
box in the opposite direction could cause the wires to be disconnected.
3 Load the new AA size batteries. Pay very close
attention to the polarity markings and reinsert accordingly.
4 Slide the battery cover back onto the case.
Battery cover Slide battery cover while pressing here.
Disposal of the Dry Cell Batteries:
The method to dispose of used dry cell batteries depends on the area in which
you reside. Dispose of the batteries in accordance with the regulations for
your area.
Caution
When running (cruising), do not use the dry cell battery box at the
transmitter. The accessory dry cell battery box is for performance checks. Do
not use it for other than performance checks. The dry cell batteries will be
separated from the battery box contacts by shock and the power may be cut off.
There is the danger of collision if the power is cut while running (cruising).
The use of Futaba genuine NiMH/LiFe or LiPo batteries is strongly recommended.
Low Battery Alarm
If the transmitter battery voltage drops below the usable range, an audible
alarm will sound and “Low battery” will be displayed. Since the usable range
of NiMH/LiFe batteries and LiPo batteries is different, the power supply used
must be set by system setting. If the battery goes dead while running
(cruising), since there is the danger of collision, immediately recover the
vehicle (boat) and stop running (cruising).
Warning
When a low battery alarm is generated, cease operation immediately and
retrieve the model. If the battery goes dead while in operation, you will lose
control of the model.
