Optic 6 Sport 2.4GHz Transmitter Features Right-hand joystick The following contains the complete instructions on how to use the Hitec AFHSS 2.4GHz system on Optic 6 Sport 2.4 and Optima series receiver set. We encourage you to review this information before using these products. - Page 8 Glow, gas, nitro or electric powered aircraft using a separate receiver battery. 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.
- Page 9 Set-up and Use of the Hitec 2.4GHz System To turn the system on and off, use the following sequence at all times Hitec’s Spectra 2.4GHz module and Optima series receivers have two different operational modes to choose from, “Normal Mode” or “Scan Mode.”...

- Page 11 (approx. 6 second) Your Hitec AFHSS system uses a communication protocol that links and binds the Optima receiver to your Aurora transmitter. Once their ID is set, no other transmitter can interfere with your receiver during its operation. In the case of multiple model memory transmitters like Aurora 9, you can bind or link as many Optima receivers to your transmitter as necessary.
- Page 12 How to use Power-Down Almost all servos will burn-up if more than 6 Volts are used over a short period of time. Some Hitec servos are rated to be used at 7.4Volts. You will still need to supply power for your servos with a four or five cell NiMH receiver battery, 2 cell Li-Po, a regulator set-up, or a commercially available BEC with enough capacity (3A or more capacity is recommended).
