BEFORE USE

T-FHSS Air system

The T12K transmitter has adopted the bidirectional communication system "T-FHSS Air" Data from the

receiver can be checked on your transmitter. T-FHSS Air is a maximum 14 channels (linear 12 channels +

switch 2 channels) 2.4GHz dedicated system.

S.BUS2 system

By using the S.BUS2 system, multiple servos, gyros and telemetry sensors are easily installed with a

minimum amount of cables.

Model types

Six swash types are available for helicopters. Six types of main wings and three types of tail wings are

available for airplanes, multicopters and gliders. Functions and mixing functions necessary for each model

type are set in advance at the factory.

Data input

Large graphic LCD and new type Push dial substantially improve ease of setup.

Stick

Improved feel, adjustable length and tension.

NiMH battery

T12K is operated by a 6.0 V/1,800 mAh Nickel-Metal Hydride battery.

Micro SD card (Secure Digital memory card) (Not included)

Model data can be saved to a micro SD card (SD:32MB-2GB SDHC:4GB-32GB). When T12K

Warning

Be careful not to drop the battery.

Never disconnect the battery before the

T12K has completely shut down and the

transmitter screen is blank.

* Internal devices such as memories may be damaged.

* If any problems occur, the message “Backup Error”

will appear when you turn on the transmitter. If this

happens, do not use the transmitter. Send it to the

Futaba Service Center.

*Turn off the transmitter while charging the battery.

3. Remove the battery after 15 hours.

*Battery charging will not automatically stop. Remove the

battery and transmitter from the charger and remove the

charger from the wall socket.

*It is recommended to reactivate the battery by cycling

several times if the battery has not been used for a long

period.

*In the case of NiMH/NiCd batteries, you may find poor

performance of the battery if you have used the battery

only for a short period or if you repeat charging while the

battery is not fully discharged. It is suggested to discharge

the battery to the recommended level after use. It is also

recommended to charge the battery just before use.

Before charging batteries, read the "Battery and Charger Handling Precautions".

As with all radio frequency transmissions,

the strongest area of signal transmission is from

the sides of the transmitter antenna. As such,

the antenna should not be pointed directly at the

PRGHO,I\RXUÀ\LQJVW\OHFUHDWHVWKLVVLWXDWLRQ

easily move the antenna to correct this situation.

LED

• Off

Radio waves are in the OFF state.

• On

Radio waves are being transmitted.

• Blinking

Power switch is turned on when any

condition switch is activated (in the ON

state).

Monitor LED display

Transmitter status is displayed by LEDs.

Rotating antenna

The antenna can be rotated 180 degrees and

angled 90 degrees. Forcing the antenna further

than this can damage it. The antenna is not

removable.

Caution

Please do not grasp the transmitter

DQWHQQDGXULQJÀLJKW

Doing so may degrade the quality of the RF

transmission to the model

Do not carry the transmitter by the

antenna.

This could damage the antenna and render the

transmitter inoperable.

Do not pull the antenna forcefully.

This could damage the antenna and render the

transmitter inoperable.
