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

system

(Auto Detection),

For EP Car models

Built-in antenna

4-channel receiver

Thank you for purchasing the

R204GF-E

receiver.

The

R204GF-E

is designed for use with the Futaba

S-FHSS

FHSS

system transmitter. The

S-FHSS

system has two(2) operation mode as shown below.

•Normal mode/High Speed mode

The "Normal mode" accepts any type of servos or the

peripherals as the frame rate of the output is 13.6ms.

The "High Speed mode" only accepts the digital

servos, including BLS series, and most peripheral

equipments such as the brushless ESCs. The frame rate

of the outputs is 6.8ms. 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

R204GF-E

receiver is designed to be used only

for EP Car models. Due to the special design of the

R204GF-E

, we cannot recommend its use in other

types of models (gas poweredmodels.)

•The R204GF-E is compatible with the

S-FHSS or FHSS system transmitters.
