SBD-1 S.Bus Decoder - Manual

WARNNG
Always use in the state in which the SBD-
1 is firmly attached to the fuselage of
the airplane or helicopter. There is the danger
of loss of control and crashing if the connector is
disconnected by vibration and shock.
CAUTION
When using analog servos, always use in
the state in which the receiver is normal
mode. There is the danger of erroneous operation
or damage on the high speed mode.
Do not connect any device (gyro, battery,
etc.) other than servos to the servo
connector of the SBD-1. There is the danger of
erroneous operation or damage.
Do not connect an S.BUS connector
of the SBD-1 to other than an S.BUS
connection port. There is the danger of
erroneous operation or damage.
Futaba Corp. will not be responsible for
damage caused by combination with other
than Futaba Genuine parts.

servo was connected, that servo
will operate as a conventional servo. However,
it operates on the channel set at the servo
connector of the
SBD-1
instead of the channel set
at the servo itself.
