1. Function Button
Used for Linking(ID-Setting) the receiver to a module,
entering Fail-Safe / Hold mode setup function.
2. Dual LED Status Indicator
Indicates the set-up process codes and use status.
3. SPC Supplementary Power Connection
Power the Optima receiver function with up to a 35V. motor battery.
Details about the SPC system can be found on page 21.
4. Channel Output and Battery Input Ports
The ports for battery power, servos, gyros and other accessories are located at each end of the streamlined Optima receivers.
5. Jumpers
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 *2S Li-Po/Li-Fe batteries.
The jumper is removed when the receiver is powered using the SPC feature as described in more detail on page 19.
6. BODA (Boosted Omni Directional Antenna) System
- Hitec’s exclusive 2.4GHz BODA Antenna System will show you another meaning of using 2.4GHz system, this
single antenna with Omni-directional booster makes whole lot easy to install the 2.4GHz antenna. Intensive
test have proven that the single BODA antenna system in our 6 & 7 channel systems is better than or equal
to our competitors 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.

Optima Receiver Connection Diagrams
Follow this connection diagram when using a dedicated 4.8 to 6.0V NiMH battery pack, or *2S Li-Po/Fe 7.4V batteries.
Use this method on electric planes using ESC’s providing power, A.K.A. BEC (Battery Eliminator Circuit), to the receiver and servo functions.
As of this writing, there are three Optima 2.4GHz receivers that are compatible with the Hitec AFHSS 2.4GHz System.
The Optima 6, Optima 7 and the Optima 9 are loaded with a variety of functions that are sure to deliver a satisfying R/C experience.
Normal / Scan Mode Selectable
Select between two operational signal types. See page 17 for details.
FAIL-SAFE Option
Servos and other accessories may be programmed with a FAIL-SAFE point in the event power to the receiver is interrupted.
See page 18 for details.
Onboard Receiver Battery Warnings
Know when your on-board battery is low with direct telemetry feedback to your transmitter. See page 19 for details.
Warning :*Verify your servos are rated for use with these higher voltage batteries or use a regulator.
Warning : Verify your servos are rated for use with higher voltage(7.4V) batteries or a regulator.
Functions:
Glow, gas, nitro or electric powered aircraft using a separate receiver battery.
Electric powered aircraft with Electronic Speed Control

Optional BEC shown in diagram. It is recommended to use large capacity BEC where number of
high torque servos are used and power requirements exceed which the ESC provides.
