Thank you for purchasing a Futaba T-FHSS 3PV 2.4GHz system. This system is based on the combination of the newly developed 2.4GHz transmitter and its corresponding receiver. Before using your 3PV 2.4GHz system, read this manual carefully and use your R/C set safely. After reading this manual, store it in a safe place. T-FHSS 3PV 2.4GHz system • 2.4GHzSS (Spread Spectrum) radio communication system • Frequency channel setting unnecessary: Sifting the channels within the 2.

Safety Precautions For your safety as well as that of others, please read this manual thoroughly prior to installation and operation of your digital proportional R/C system. Definition of Symbols The following defines the symbols used in this manual. Explanation of Symbols DANGER Procedures which may lead to a dangerous condition and cause death or serious injury to the user if not carried out properly.
[Range Test Procedure] Have a friend hold the model, or place it on a stand where the wheels or prop cannot come in contact with any object. Operate from a distance of about 100 feet. Be sure to check the movement of each servo to make sure it follows the movement of the steering wheel and throttle trigger. If the servos do not follow the commands from the transmitter or any type of interference is detected, Do Not operate the model. Never operate in the rain or run through puddles.
Storage and Disposal Safety Precautions WARNING At the end of a day's operation, store the system with NiCd battery discharged. Be sure to recharge the system before it is used again. You should fully discharge your system's batteries periodically to prevent a condition called "memory". For example, if you only make two runs in a day or you regularly use a small amount of a battery's capacity, the memory effect can reduce the actual capacity even if the battery is charged for the recommended amount of time.
Before Operation System Contents After opening the container, check the contents for the following items. The contents will vary with the system purchased. 3PV-2.4GHz System Contents Transmitter T3PV-2.4G (x1) System T-FHSS/S-FHSS/FHSS Receiver R203GF or R304SB or R314SB (x1) System S-FHSS/FHSS Miscellaneous T-FHSS T-FHSS Mini Screwdriver NOTE: This Futaba T-FHSS/S-FHSS/FHSS system, including the T3PV-2.4G transmitter, does not work with current Futaba FASST™ systems.
Nomenclature/Handling Transmitter T3PV-2.4G ＋− Key It is used to change a setup. Press the ＋key and −key simultaneously for about 1 second → Value is reset. Power Switch LCD screen Press for about 1 second→ON Press for about 1 second→OFF Power switch turned on: Beep confirmation sound is generated and the model name is displayed for about two seconds and then the initial screen appears.
Battery Replacement Method CAUTION Always be sure you reinsert the batteries in the correct polarity order. If the batteries are loaded incorrectly, the transmitter may be damaged. When the transmitter will not be used for any short or long period of time, always remove the batteries. If the batteries do happen to leak, clean the battery case and contacts thoroughly. Make sure the contacts are free of corrosion.
When Using The Optional Battery When using an optional rechargeable battery, replace the battery as described below. -The type of power source used must be set by system setting. -When the transmitter will not be used for a long time, remove the battery. Optional battery NiMH : HT5F1800B Charge Jack of T3PV is used After removing the dry cell battery box from the transmitter, disconnect the connector. Insert the connector of the new battery and load the new battery into the transmitter.
Key Operation Auto Power OFF Power Switch Press and hold → ON/OFF This function will switch off the transmitter if you forget. When the steering and throttle switch are not operated for 10 minutes, power automatically turns off.
Assembly / Adjustment Receiver and Servo Connection As you connect the receiver, servos and other components, do so in accordance with the "Assembly Precautions". Installation When An Electronic Speed Control Is Used $ % & e.g. R314SB Installation For Gas Powered Models CH4 servo e.g.
Assembly Precautions WARNING Check the receiver, servos, and battery connectors, to be sure they are firmly connected. If a connector is not fully inserted, vibration may cause the connector to work loose while the model is operating. This will result in loss of control. Operate each servo horn over its full stroke and check to see that the linkage does not bind or is not too loose.
How to Link 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 (T-FHSS; and transmitter) and no further linking is necessary unless the receiver needs to be used with another transmitter. (For T/R set, the link is already done at factory.
Transmitter Set-Up Procedures *When making these setting adjustments, do so with the motor disconnected or the engine not running. (Preparations) Select the model memory that is not used and reset it to the initial values with the model selection and model reset functions. Model Selection Model Reset Model number （1 - 0） Selection key Push the DT1 lever right or left for about two seconds. All data stored in the currently selected model memory is erased.
3PV-2.4G Functions Model Selection ／ Model Reset（MDL） The model selection selects the desired model memory from the 10 model memories stored within the transmitter, and the model reset erases all data stored in a specific model memory. Model Selection Model Reset Push the DT1 lever right or left for about two seconds. All data stored in the currently selected model memory is erased.
Link Mode（Only T-FHSS） This function is in case of T-FHSS. When linking, it's necessary to place the transmitter in link mode. ■Link Mode Press and hold ＋or －key. Link mode for 20 seconds. Blink with Link mode + or - Press and hold *Link is required when a new model is made from a model selection. *When telemetry can't be used, try a relink once again. DT3 Selection（DT3） DT3 function The function of DT3 is chosen. D/R (dual rate) or CH3.
Throttle Trim（TRM-CH2） Throttle neutral adjustments can be made moving the throttle trim up or down. Throttle Trim Trim change (F100～0～B100) + and - Press and hold Reset Press Trim Reset or Racers Tip Trim change When using an electronic speed control, set the throttle trim to neutral and make adjustments to the speed control. On a gas powered model, set the trim to neutral and adjust the linkage to the point where the carburetor is fully closed in accordance with the engine instruction manual.
Steering End Point Adjustment（EPA-CH1） Use this function to limit the servo movement to the left or right. The servo travel to each side can be independently adjusted. This feature will compensate for any difference in right or left turning angles or radius due to the characteristics of your model. + and - Press and hold Steering EPA Reset EPA rate change Range: 0 - 120% (Left side) (Right side) Adjust the travel of the servo while operating the steering wheel each way.
4WS/BRK Mixing（SMX） Special Mixing Selection *This function can't be used in R203GF. Mixing change 4WS Mixing (4WS) INH: Inhibited 4WS: 4WS mixing BRK: Brake mixing for second brake This mixing is used with Crawler and other 4WS specification cars. The 1st channel controls the front side steering and the 4th channel controls the rear side steering. CH1 Either 4WS mixing function or Brake mixing function can be selected on this screen. CH4 • 4WS function selection 1.
Channel-4 Servo Reversing（REV-CH4） (This setting screen is displayed when 4WS mixing or Brake mixing is activated.) This function reverses the rotation direction of the channel-4 servo. Channel-4 Servo Reverse *CH4 can't be used in R203GF. NOR: Normal REV: Reverse When the trim position deviates from the center, the deviation will be on the opposite side when the servo is reversed.
Throttle Fail Safe（F/S） This function moves the throttle servo to a preset position when the receiver cannot receive the signal from the transmitter for some reason. When the signal from the transmitter can be received again, this function automatically resets. *For gasoline engine cars, it is recommended that the fail safe position be set to the direction that applies the brakes. Battery F/S position setting (Only T-FHSS) OFF: Inhibited 3.8V-7.4V It depends on your receiver battery.
