Receiver Instruction
version 2.0
Warning!
1. For maximum performance, it is recommended to position the antenna at a
90 degree angle as shown in the picture 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 in a model, it is highly
recommended to use the SPC feature to insure the receiver always gets the
power it needs in high load conditions. If not, use the system with enough
receiver battery capacity.
4. There could be a possible time-delay in receiving telemetry data from
HTS-SS(sensor-station) depending on the conditions in the area you fly.
5. It is strongly recommended to use Hitec ‘s genuine Heavy Duty High Channel
Switch Harness with Receiver Charger Cord (Stock#. 54407S) for all
Optima series receivers.

from each other to link properly.
Note
Link (ID-Setup or Bind)
Your HitecAFHSS system uses a communication protocol that links and binds the Hitec
2.4GHz receiver to your transmitter. Once the receiver and module are “bound,” no other
transmitter can interfere with your receiver during its operation. In the case of multiple
model memory transmitters, you can bind as many Hitec
2.4GHz receivers to your transmitter, one per model memory as necessary.
Each module and receiver set is paired at the factory for your convenience.
Use one of the following binding methods to bind additional Hitec 2.4GHz receivers to
your transmitter.
