Mounting
Hitec’s AFHSS 2.4GHz Technology
Equipment Mounting
When you mount each servo, use the supplied rubber grommets and insert an
eyelet up through the bottom. Be sure not to over tighten the screws.
If any portion of the servo case directly contacts the fuselage or the servo rails,
the rubber grommets will not be able to attenuate vibration, which can lead to
mechanical wear and possible servo failure.
Servo Throw
Factory Repair Service Information
Once you have installed the servos, operate each one over its full travel and
check that the pushrod and output arms do not bind or collide with each other,
even at extreme trim settings.
Check to see that each control linkage does not require undue force to move
(if you hear a servo buzzing when there is no transmitter control motion,
most likely there is too much friction in the control or pushrod).
Even though the servo will tolerate loads like this, they will drain the battery pack
much more rapidly.
Please read the warranty card supplied with your system and return it. Before you decide to have your system repaired, if there is no apparent
physical damage, read this instruction manual again and check to be sure that you are operating the system as it was designed to be operated.
If you are still having trouble, pack up your system in its original shipping materials and send it to the nearest authorized Hitec R/C Service Center.
Be sure to include a note in your package that describes the trouble in as much detail as possible, including: symptoms of the problem in as
much detail as you can provide, including any unusual mounting conditions or equipment orientation, a list of items you are sending, and what
you want to be repaired. Make sure you also provide your name, address and telephone number.

Hitec is proud to introduce our first 2.4GHz built-in 2.4 transmitter. The Optic 5 2.4 can be used with most of the Hitec’s existing AFHSS
(Adaptive Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum) 2.4GHz receivers. Other features of our system include telemetry capabilities, our exclusive
BODA(Boosted Omni-Directional Antenna) system and a SPC(Supplemental Power Connection) for added insurance. Providing the hobbyists
with the latest technology at an affordable price has always been Hitec’s primary goal, a goal that we have now achieved in 2.4GHz technology.
Adaptive Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum Technology (AFHSS)
Our 2.4GHz system utilizes the latest AFHSS technology and our exclusive Scan Mode system to ensure a rock solid, interference-free
connection between the transmitter and receiver. When selected, Hitec’s 2.4GHz Scan Mode function scans the 2.4GHz spectrum
to find the cleanest channels in which to operate, providing interference-free operation even in the most crowded environments.
Boosted Omni Directional Antenna (BODA)
The Optima 2.4GHz line of receivers features our exclusive BODA receiver technology. Intensive tests have proven that the single BODA
antenna system in our 6 & 7 channel systems is better than or equal to our competitors’ dual antenna systems. Our Optima 9 receiver
features a dual BODA system to give the added security that larger models need.
Telemetry System
The Optima 6 receiver offers the basic telemetry function of the low battery warning. With the purchase of an Optima 7 and 9, you can enjoy our full line
up of telemetry functions such as tempurature, GPS, fuel level, and RPM sensors!
Supplementary Power Connection (SPC)
Since most hobbyists are concerned about their BEC capacity when setting up their planes, we are proud to offer a way to supplement your
power source. Hitec’s 2.4GHz system operates with a normal 4, 5-cell(4.8V, 6.0V) receiver battery, but you can also utilize the SPC system if you
feel that you need to supply more sufficient power to the receiver. Once the SPC system is activated, receiver battery power will be concentrated
on the servo operation, and the power from your motor battery will directly feed the receiver through the SPC port.
Need more? The SPC enables you to monitor the motor battery voltage through the telemetry function.
NOTE
These functions
are applicable in the Optima series receivers only.(Not applicale in Minima receivers)
