Install the R603FS receiver on the
car as follow;
Note: The operating range may become
shorter, although depending on where
the receiver and the antenna are
mounted.
 WARNING
 Install the antenna in the higher place as
shown in the figure.
 Do not cut the antenna.
 Keep the antenna away from the motor,
ESC and other noise sources as pos-
sible as you can.
 Put the antenna in the antenna tube to
protect it.
 Do not bend the coaxial cable. It causes
damage.
 Wrap the receiver with something soft such as foam rubber to
avoid vibration. If there is a chance of getting wet, put the receiv-
er in a waterproof bag or balloon to avoid water.
 CAUTION
 Always use R603FS under the following conditions;
Power supply; 6V Nicd battery (PPM/HRS mode)
Servo; 6V type Futaba Digital Servo (HRS mode)
* If the conditions are different, control is impossible or the servo may be damaged.
Frequency Range Setting
The frequency range of 2.4GHz system differs according to regulations
of the country that it is used in.
1
Use the rotary switches of the module to select the
frequency range mode.

0: GENERAL
(2405.376MHz - 2477.056MHz)
8: FRANCE
(2407.424MHz - 2450.432MHz)
 WARNING
 If using this system in France, always use it to set the rotary
switch to "8".
* In other countries, both "0:GENERAL" and "8:FRANCE" are available.
How to turn on the power
A certain ID number is given to the receiver automatically. Identifying
this ID number, the system will minimize the interference from other
transmitters.
1
Bring the transmitter and the receiver close to each other
within one meter.
2
Turn on the transmitter.
Note: Check the LED on the module.
Parameter check for 0.5 seconds after power-on Red: On
Transmitting signals Green: On
F/S is activated by the tactile switch of the mod-
ule. (PPM mode)
Green: Blink
Unrecoverable failure (EEPROM, etc.)
Red and Green turn
on alternatively.
PCM is improperly selected. Red: Blink
3
Turn on the receiver.
4
Push the tactile switch of the receiver.
Note: Check the LED of the receiver.
No signal reception Red : On
Receiving signals Green: On
Receiving signals, but ID is unmatched. Green: Blink
Unrecoverable failure (EEPROM, etc.)
Red and Green turn
on alternatively.
How to Set the F/S Position
PPM mode only:
*HRS mode: Set the F/S function by the transmitter.
1
Move and hold the throttle trigger (stick) to the F/S servo
position where you want to set (slow side) then push the
tactile switch on the module.
The LED blinks green.
Note: Always set again when turning on the power.
Battery F/S function
The Battery F/S function becomes active when the voltage of the
receiver becomes 4.75V or less. The throttle servo move to the preset
position.
