Receiver's Antenna Installation
The R7008SB has two antennas. In order to maximize signal reception and promote safe modeling Futaba
has adopted a diversity antenna system. This allows the receiver to obtain RF signals on both antennas and fly
problem-free.
To obtain the best results of the diversity
function, please refer to the following
instructions:
1. The two antennas must be kept as straight as
possible. Otherwise it will reduce the effective
range.
2. The two antennas should be placed at 90
degrees to each other.
This is not a critical figure, but the most
important thing is to keep the antennas away
from each other as much as possible.
Larger models can have large metal objects
that can attenuate the RF signal. In this case
the antennas should be placed at both sides of
the model. Then the best RF signal condition is
obtained at any flying attitude.
3. The antennas must be kept away from
conductive materials, such as metal, carbon
and fuel tank by at least a half inch. The coaxial
part of the antennas does not need to follow
these guidelines, but do not bend it in a tight
radius.
4. Keep the antennas away from the motor, ESC,
and other noise sources as much as possible.
*The two antennas should be placed at 90 degrees to each
other.
*The illustration demonstrates how the antenna should be placed.
*Receiver Vibration and Waterproofing: The receiver contains precision electronic parts. Be sure to avoid vibration,
shock, and temperature extremes. For protection, wrap the receiver in foam rubber or other vibration-absorbing
materials. It is also a good idea to waterproof the receiver by placing it in a plastic bag and securing the open end of the
bag with a rubber band before wrapping it with foam rubber. If you accidentally get moisture or fuel inside the receiver,
you may experience intermittent operation or a crash. If in doubt, return the receiver to our service center for service.
