• Use double-sided tape or Velcro® to mount the transceiver.
• Position the transceiver where it will not contact other solid components.
• Mount the transceiver away from moving parts, sharp corners, and possible contaminants (fuel, dirt,
etc.).

rubber balloon or plastic bag. I f you accidentally get moisture or fuel inside the transceiver, intermittent
or erratic operation may result.

• DO NOT CUT the antenna wire
Connecting the Transceiver
Servo I nput Plugs
The transceiver is designed to use Futaba J-style input plugs
with wiring order as shown in the diagram.
Servo lead wires MUST be in this order. I f the servo wires are
in a different order, you must re-order the wires in the input
plug. Check with your servo manufacturer about the color and
order of the servo lead wiring.
When you insert the servo input plug into the transceiver, note
that the input plug may have an alignment tab. Orient the
alignment tab properly before inserting the input plug.
To remove in input plug from the transceiver, pull the input
plug rather than the servo wires.
