In Ver 3.9 or later software with the model ID function added, model data saved on the SD card cannot be called
using the model select function. To use the model data of the SD card, copy the model data to the transmitter.
If the model data of the SD card was selected before the update, an error message will be displayed at the first
startup after the update, and the model will automatically switch to the model data of the transmitter.
1. Add Model ID FASSTest, T-FHSS
As an added level of safety in the form of Model ID, which will prevent the accidental control of a model
when using a different model data by preventing link.
This software updates or alters the functions and features noted below. The instructions and information that follow are meant as a
supplement to the original instruction manual that accompanied the transmitter. Please refer to the original instruction manual where
applicable, but replace the steps indicated below with these instructions. Please check to ensure that the update has been installed.

2. Improved model copy function
Conventionally, only the model data currently active can be copied. In version 3.9, you can copy any
model data.
■ In the system types (FASSTest, T-FHSS) compatible with
the model ID function, a unique ID number (model ID) is
set to each model data. Linking with a receiver stores the
model ID of the model data in that receiver. The receiver
operates only when it receives radio waves transmitted
using model data that matches the stored model ID. As a
result, the receiver does not operate even if model data of
an unintended setting is used by mistake, so it is possible
to prevent a malfunction due to a model selection mistake.
When using R3004SB
■When using the R3004SB, set “Receiver” in the system type screen T-FHSS mode setting to
[R3004SB]. When using other T-FHSS compatible receivers, set "Receiver" to [Normal].
■ If you want to use different model data from the model
data that you have been using, link again.
■ Model ID feature is enabled only if the system type is
FASSTest or T-FHSS. Please note that model ID function
can not be used on other systems.
■ For safety reasons, model ID function can not be disabled.
■ Model ID is automatically set when copying or adding
model data.
R3004SB receiver does not support model ID function.
Change to "R3004SB"
Link is required when a new model is made from a model selection.

1. Fixed defect
1. Telemetry sensor assignment
The T18SZ/T16SZ/FX-36 has been made compatible with the
telemetry airspeed sensor.
It is necessary to update software to Ver.3.6 or later in order to
use model data created with the T18SZ 70th anniversary model.
Fixed a problem that an AFR rate of conditions 2 to 4 ("Gasvorw. 1" to "Gasvorw. 3") cannot be set properly when
the language mode is set to German and model type of a model data is Helicopter.
Third-party telemetry sensor JetCat V10 can be assigned from slot 1. This allows JetCat V10 and PowerBox to be used simultaneously.
◆Airspeed sensor is registered with the transmitter.
① Connect the sensor to the transmitter as shown in
the gure.
②[Linkage menu] → [Sensor] → [Page 3/3]
is opened from the transmitter.
③ Tap [Register]
④ Complete registration and remove sensor from
the transmitter.
*Airspeed sensor must be installed in the
aircraft.

2. CRSF Protocol for TBS
The T18SZ/T16SZ/FX-36 has been made compatible with
the CRSF (TBS) protocol.
■Bidirectional communication function of CRSF is not
supported.
Futaba is not responsible for damage sustained by
combination with parts other than Futaba Genuine
equipment.
① [Linkage menu] → [System Type] → [Page 2/2] is
opened from the transmitter.
② Tap the "CRSF" button to [ON]. A signal conforming
to the CRSF standard is output from the S.BUS setting
connector (S.I/F) of the transmitter.
■When using CRSF, the S.BUS servo setting
function and [Reload] [Register] [Change slot]
functions cannot be used. When setting S.BUS
servo and sensor, set CRSF to INH.
Tapping this will change
INH to ON and activated.

Futaba is not responsible for damage sustained by
combination with parts other than Futaba Genuine
equipment.
When connecting Futaba transmitters to the trainer
code, do not operate the power switch on the student
side transmitter and operate the power switch on the
teacher side transmitter as before. The student side
transmitter turns power automatically in conjunction
with the teacher side.
