Optima and Minima Series Receiver Features
1. Function Button: Used for binding the receiver to a module or Hitec 2.4 built-in transmitters, entering
the FAIL-SAFE or Hold feature.
2. Dual LED: Status Indicator:
Indicates the set-up process codes and current status of the receiver.
3. Channel Output and Battery Input Ports: The ports for battery power input and servos, gyros and
other accessories’ output ports are located at the side.
4. SPC (Supplementary Power Connection)*:
Power the Optima and Minima receivers function with up
to a 35V. electric aircraft motor battery.
5. Telemetry Sensor and Data Port*: A three pin servo plug connector port is featured on the Optima 7
and Optima 9 (Optima 6 is not applicable.) Using the HPP-22 PC interface accessory, this port serves to
facilitate upgrading the device’ s software and interfacing the optional onboard sensor station.
6. BODA (Boosted Omni Directional Antenna) System*: Hitec’s exclusive 2.4GHz BODA System will show
you another way of using our 2.4GHz systems. The single Omni-directional antenna booster makes it
much easier to install the 2.4GHz antenna. Intensive tests have proven that the single BODA system
in our 6 & 7 channel systems is better than or equal to our competitor’s dual antenna systems while
our Optima 9 receiver features a dual BODA system to give the added security that larger models need.
Installation is easy and simple, insert the antenna into the supported antenna holder and stick it to the
desired spot you wish to install.
The following information contains the complete directions on how to use the Optima and Minima series
receivers (version 3.00(0). We encourage you to review this information before using these products.

Optima and Minima Series Receiver Features
Compatibility:
The OPTIMA & MINIMA receivers are compatible with transmitters using the Hitec AFHSS 2.4 GHz system,
such as, Spectra 2.4 module or dedicated built-in module AFHSS 2.4 Hitec transmitters.
FAIL-SAFE/Hold Mode Selectable:
Servos and other accessories can be set with a FAIL-SAFE point, if power to the receiver is lost.
Jumper:
The jumper is installed at the factory and is used when the receiver is powered by an electronic speed
control, a commercially available B.E.C. (battery eliminator circuit), dedicated 4.8 to 6V. NiMH battery pack,
or regulated Li-Po battery. The jumper is removed when the receiver is powered using the SPC feature.
These functions/ features are only for OPTIMA series receivers.
