                            Installation Safety Precautions
       Warning
Receiver (receiver antenna)
  Do not cut or bundle the receiver antenna wire.
  Do not bundle the receiver antenna wire together with the motor controller lead wire.
  Keep the receiver antenna wire at least 1 cm away from motor, battery, and other wiring carrying heavy
  current.
  Do not use a metal receiver antenna holder on a plate made of metal, carbon, or other conductive mate-
  rial.
  Since the antenna of built-in antenna receivers is installed under this, do not place wiring or other objects
  on it.
  Install the receiver antenna holder as closely as possible to the receiver.
If the antenna wire is cut, bundled, or routed near a noise source, the receiving sensitivity will drop, the running (cruising)
range will decrease, and you may lose control of the model.
 *Noise is transmitted through metal, carbon, and other conductive material, so keep the receiver antenna wire away from such parts.


                               Battery                           Install the receiver as far away as possible from the battery,

                 Receiver Vibration-proofing / Waterproofing
               (Car)
                  Vibration-proof the receiver by wrapping it in foam rubber or other vibration-absorbing material and mount it
                  with thick double-sided tape.
                  When using the receiver holder supplied with the model kit, mount the holder to the chassis through a rub-
                  ber grommet.
               (Boat)
                  Vibration-proof the receiver by wrapping it in foam rubber or other vibration-absorbing material. Also water-
                  proof the receiver by cruising it in a plastic bag.
                If the receiver is exposed to strong vibration and shock, or the ingression of water, it may not operate correctly and you may lose con-
                trol of the model.

                 Connector Connections
                  Be sure the receiver, servo, battery and connectors are fully and firmly connected.
                If vibration from the model causes a connector to work loose while the model is in operation, you may lose control.

                 Servo Installation
                  When you install the servos, always use the rubber grommets provided in servo hardware bags. Mount the
                  servos so they do not directly come in contact with the mount.
                If the servo case comes in direct contact with the mount, vibration will be directly transmitted to the servo.
                If this condition continues for a long time, the servo may be damaged and control will be lost.

       Warning
Servo Throw
  Operate each servo over its full stroke and be sure the linkage does not bind or come loose.
The continuous application of unreasonable force to a servo may cause damage and excessive battery drain.


                           Caution!
                A whining noise indicates that the
                 steering servo is improperly set.

       Warning
Electronic Speed Control
  Install the heat sinks where they will not come in contact with aluminum, carbon fiber or other parts that con-
  duct electricity.
If the ESC (Electronic speed control) heat sinks touch other materials that conduct electricity a short circuit could occur. This could re-
sult in loss of control and damage to the system.

Motor Noise Suppression
  Always install capacitors to suppress noise when electric motors are used.
If capacitors are not properly installed you could experience erratic operation and reduced range as well as loss of control.

Other Noise Suppression Methods
  Be sure there are no metal parts in your model which under vibration can come in contact with other metal
  parts.
Metal to metal contacts under vibration will emit a high frequency noise that will affect the receiver’s performance. You could experi-
ence erratic operation and reduced range as well as loss of control.

                                                 In case of T-FHSS SR system, check the channel set to
                                                 SR mode. Channels set to SR mode are indicated as "S"
                                                 before channel # (SR mode setting is see page 33).


                 Receiver System Check (RECEIVER)
                  This system sets the Receiver system of the transmitter to match the receiver and ser-
                  vos used.
                  The T4PM transmitter uses the telemetry type T-FHSS ("TFH") system or T-FHSS SR
                  ("TFH-SR") system.
                  It can also use the conventional S-FHSS ("SFH") system.
                  Since the R334SBS and R334SBS-E receivers supplied with the T4PM set uses the T-
                  FHSS SR (Super response) or telemetry function T-FHSS system, T4PM receiver setup
                  must be set to the T-FHSS high speed system ("TFH-HI"), the T-FHSS normal system
                  ("TFH-NR") or T-FHSS SR ("TFH-SR").
                  Since the T- FHSS SR system cannot be used for R304SB, R304SB-E, R314SB and
                  R314SB-E receivers, set it to the T-FHSS high speed system ("TFH-HI") or the T-FHSS
                  normal system ("TFH-NR").
                  The RA-42 receiver for Futaba exclusive to Kyosho Mini-Z Evo can be used for T4PM
                  transmitter. When using it, set it to the MINIZ system.

Receiver System Change & How To Link
 The first operation described below sets the Receiver sys-
 tem. Next, the transmitter and receiver are linked and the
 transmitter ID number is memorized at the receiver so that
 signals from other transmitters will not be received. The
 telemetry type T-FHSS also simultaneously memorizes the
 ID number of the receiver at the transmitter so that data
 from other receivers will not be received.
 The Receiver system setting and transmitter and receiver linking methods are de-
 scribed here. Refer to the figure at the right for the edit buttons used.

                         Warning
                    After the linking is done, please cycle receiver power and check if the receiver to be linked is really under the
                    control of your transmitter.
                  If there are many Futaba 2.4GHz systems (T-FHSS SR / T-FHSS / S-FHSS / MINIZ) turned on in close proximity to your receiv-
                  er might not link to your transmitter. In this case, even if the receiver’s LED stays solid green, unfortunately the receiver might
                  have established a link to one of other transmitters. This is very dangerous if you do not notice this situation. In order to avoid
                  the problem, we strongly recommend you to double-check whether your receiver is really under control by your transmitter by
                  giving the stick input and then checking the servo response.

                    Do not perform the linking procedure with motor’s main wire connected or the engine operating as it may re-
                    sult in serious injury.

How to set the SR mode Channel
 In the case of T-FHSS SR, "SR mode" which has greatly improved response compared
 to the conventional T-FHSS can be used. The display changes when you change it. Be
 sure to turn off the power of the receiver before operation check.
 In SR mode, ON/ OFF can be set for each channel. When using normal servo or ESC,
 set the SR mode of the connected channel to (OFF).
  Note: In SR mode ON, normal servo, ESC and gyro will not operate. Please set our S.BUS servo corre-
  sponding to SR mode to SR mode on S.BUS servo menu and use it. Also, in case of SR mode OFF, the servo
  set to SR mode cannot be used, so set the servo to normal mode by S. BUS servo menu. If using wrong com-
  bination, servo and other equipment will fail, so please be careful.
  *Refer to country distributor WEB for detailed the "S. BUS servo menu" and the "SR mode setting" explana-
  tion.

                 (Set-Up Procedure When Installed In a Car)
When installing the servos in a car, performing function set-up in the following order
is recommended.


         1 Perform to "Trims Initial Set-Up" of "Preparations" on the preceding
             page.
         2 Set the servo direction of operation using the Reverse function. (p.43)
             - The servo installation method and linkage direction depend on the kit. Therefore, the servo
               operation direction may have to be reversed relative to transmitter operation. Before install-
               ing the servo, check the operating direction and set it using the Reverse function.

         3 Set the subtrim and adjust the servo neutral point. (p.44)
         4 Set the trigger travel by adjusting the throttle trigger mechanical ATL to
             your liking. (p.20)
                   - When the stroke was adjusted, compensate the throttle by adjuster function. (p.71)

         5 Set End point of each channel and adjust the servo throw (travel). (p.45)

                                                                                                                    35

     The T4PM can use an optional rechargeable battery. However, the battery alarm setting is different
     from that of the dry cell battery (alkaline battery recommended). Therefore, always set the battery
     type to match the power source used.
     If used with the incorrect setting, the normal low battery alarm function will not work and the system
     may stop before a battery alarm is generated. The usage time may also become extremely short.

operation amount adjustment during linkage.
- Correct the maximum steering angle for left and right steering angles when there is a
difference in the turning radius due to the characteristics of the vehicle.


Maximum steering angle
   The "END POINT" function basically determines the maximum steering angle of
   each channel.
   The functions shown below may have been adjusted or the operating range set by
   "END POINT" function may be exceeded. Check the linkage each time the follow-
   ing functions are adjusted.

ATL trim
   ATL trim allows adjustment of the brake side operation amount during operation.
   Therefore, when the operating angle is adjusted with throttle END POINT, ATL
   trim must also be taken into account.

FWD (Throttle Forward Side EXP)/ BRK (Throttle Brake Side EXP)
 This function makes the throttle forward side and brake side direction servo operation
 quicker or milder. It has no effect on the servo maximum operation amount.



 Advice
    When the course conditions are good and the surface has good grip, set each curve
    to the + side (quick side). When the road surface is slippery and the drive wheels do
    not grip it, set each curve to the - minus (mild) side.

Throttle Acceleration "TH ACC"                                                 (Throttle system)
The servo will jump to the input position at its maximum possible speed. Unlike expo-
nential, which adjusts the whole throttle movement into a curve, throttle acceleration
simply "jumps" away from neutral and then leaves the remaining response linear.

Convenient usage method
   For nitro powered cars, the linkage must have a              Clearance
   clearance because one servo controls the engine
   carburetor and brake. Thus, there is a noticeable
