Thank you for your purchase of the Hitec Adaptive Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum or AFHSS, 2.4GHz
module and receiver system. This manual contains the complete directions on how to use the Optima series
receivers and Spectra 2.4GHz module. We encourage you to review the entire manual before using these products.
1. Dual Blue and Red Status Indicator LEDs
- Indicates the set-up process codes and current status of the module.
2. Function Button
-
Used for linking the module to a receiver, entering the “power down” mode for range checks and switching
system to the Scan / Normal Mode set-up.
3. Sensor Data Output and System Update Connector Port
- A three-pin servo connector port is featured on the Spectra 2.4GHz module allowing you to upgrade the
device software as well as download any information recorded when using Hitec's AFHSS 2.4GHz optional
on-board sensors. This port also interfaces with our new Telemetry System Sensor Station, allowing real-time
data display on the ground when flying with the Aurora 9 transmitter.
4. Adjustable Omnidirectional Antenna
- The Spectra 2.4GHz antenna is an omnidirectional antenna which can transmit and receive the transmitter
and receiver data.
For the best reception, refer to the set-up example picture in the above Warning box.
5. Compatible Transmitters
- The Spectra 2.4GHz module and antenna can be used with the following Hitec transmitters:
Eclipse 7, Optic 6, Aurora 9 and all future Hitec module-type transmitters.
- In all cases, any transmitter using the Spectra 2.4GHz module will be compatible only with
Hitec AFHSS 2.4GHz series receivers.
The antenna provided with your system is a two-part device that can be modified to fit the
Hitec Eclipse 7, Optic 6, Aurora 9 and Futaba® transmitters that use the FP-TP-FM module.
1. Disassembling the Telescopic Antenna Mount and Folding Antenna
a. Snap the antenna apart. The antenna mount should be adjusted prior to installation into your transmitter as

b. Note where the antenna separates, grasp the two pieces and pull apart.
3. Installing the antenna mount into the transmitter
a. Insert the telescopic antenna mount into the transmitter making sure the tab at the end of the antenna
mount faces the front of the transmitter.
b. Turn clockwise until it is securely screwed into the transmitter.
4. Assembling the folding antenna top
a. Snap the top of the antenna back into the mount as pictured below.
Push in until you hear it click.
b. Adjust the length of the telescopic antenna mount to fit your transmitter, and slide the locking pin back in place.

Spectra 2.4 GHz Module Features
Transmitter Antenna Installation
Warning!
1. For maximum performance, we recommend positioning the antenna at a 90 degree
angle as shown below.
2. The receiver antenna should not be placed near the engine, metal parts or high current batteries.
3. When using a large number of high-power digital servos, we recommend using the SPC feature to
insure the receiver gets the power it needs in high-load conditions.
4. Depending on flying conditions, you may possibly experience a time delay in receiving telemetry
data from the HTS-SS (Sensor Station).
Recommended Position
With the exception of the Aurora 9 and future Hitec 2.4GHz models, all other transmitter
modules should be set up as PPM.
