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.

for EP Car Models
Thank you for purchasing the
R614FF-E
receiver.
The
R614FF-E
is designed for use with the Futaba
FASST-C2
system transmitter. The
FASST
system has
two(2) operation mode as shown below.
•Normal mode/High Speed mode
The "Normal mode" accepts any type of servos or
the peripheral equipment. The "High Speed mode"
only accepts the digital servos, including BLS series,
and most peripheral equipment such as the brushless
ESCs. 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
