WARNING

NEVER

use dry batteries for the

power supply of the

R614FF-E as this

may cause difficulties with the receiver's

operation.

NEVER

use the

R614FF-E in GP

cars.

Wrap the receiver with something

soft,such as foam rubber,to avoid

vibration. Do not splash water over the

receiver.

Since the receiver generates a

certain amount of heat, install the

place with good ventilation.

Link Procedure

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.

Place the transmitter and the receiver

close to each other within half (0.5) meter.

Turn on the transmitter and the receiver.

Push and hold the Link switch on the

receiver.

When the link is complete, the LED on the

receiver changes to solid green.

* Please refer to the table below for LED status

and receiver condition.

LED: GreenBlink

Unrecoverable failure

(EEPROM,etc.)

LED: Red and Green

turn on alternately

* If there are many

FASST systems turned on

around your receiver, it might not link to your

transmitter. In this case, even if the receiver’s

LED stays solid green, unfortunately the

receiver might have established a link to

one of the other transmitters. 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 controlled by your transmitter

by giving throttle input, etc. and then checking

servo response.

WARNING

After the linking is done, please

cycle receiver power and check if

the receiver to be linked is really under

the control by the transmitter to be

linked.

Operating Precautions:
Once the

R614FF-E detects the

FASST normal mode or FASST high

speed mode , the detected mode is

locked as long as the power is ON.

When need to change the mode,

please cycle power.

Note:

The R614FF-E is compatible with the FASST-C2 system

transmitters (Futaba T4PK/T4PKS).

*Futaba FASST system does not work with current Futaba S-FHSS/FHSS system.

Usage condition on "High Speed mode"

CAUTION

When using the high-speed mode, use a Futaba

digital servo (including brushless servo). Analog

servos cannot be used.

• The use of analog servos may cause servo trouble.

for EP Car Models

Thank you for purchasing the

R614FF-E receiver.

The

R614FF-E is designed for use with the Futaba

FASST-C2 system transmitter. The FASST system has

two(2) operation mode as shown below.
•Normal mode/High Speed mode
The "Normal mode" accepts any type of servos or

the peripheral equipment. The "High Speed mode"

only accepts the digital servos, including BLS series,

and most peripheral equipment such as the brushless

ESCs. However, there is a transmitter that cannot

correspond, to high speed mode.
Please pay special attention to the information

contained within this manual and transmitter's manual

in order to have a pleasant running experience.
•Built-in antenna
The

R614FF-E receiver is designed to be used only for

EP Car models.
T he R614FF-E is compatible with the
FASST-C2 system transmitters.
