1. For maximum performance, it is recommended to position the antenna at a 90 degree angle as
shown in the picture below.
Recommended Position
version 1.0
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 the HTS-SS (sensor-station)
depending on the conditions in the area you y.
5. It is strongly recommended that you use Hitec 's genuine Heavy Duty High Channel Switch Harness with
Receiver Charger Cord (Stock#. 54407S) for all of Optima series of receivers.

1. Function Button
- Used for binding the receiver to a module or Hitec 2.4 built-in transmitters,
entering the FAIL-SAFE or Hold feature.
2. Dual LED Status Indicator
- Indicates the set-up process codes and current status of the receiver.
3. Channel Output and Battery Input Ports
- The ports for battery power input and servos, gyros and other accessories output port are located at the
side end of the Optima receivers.
4. SPC (Supplementary Power Connection)*
- Power the Optima receiver function with up to a 35V electric aircraft motor battery.
Details about the SPC system can be found on page 2.
5. Telemetry Sensor and Data Port*
- A three pin servo plug connector port is featured on the Optima 7 and Optima 9 (not applicable on
Optima 6). Using the HPP-22 PC interface accessory, this port serves to facilitate upgrading the device's
software and interfacing the optional onboard sensor station.
6. BODA (Boosted Omni-Directional Antenna) System*
- Hitec's exclusive 2.4GHz BODA System will show you another means of using the 2.4GHz system. This
single antenna with omni-directional booster makes it a whole lot easier to install the 2.4GHz antenna.
Intensive tests have proven that the single BODA system in our 6 & 7 channel systems is better than or equal
to our competitor's dual antenna systems. Our Optima 9 receiver features a dual BODA system to give
the added security that larger models need. Installation is easy and simple, just insert the antenna into the
supported antenna holder and stick it to the desired spot you wish to install.
Compatibility
- The OPTIMA & MINIMA series of receivers are compatible with transmitters using Hitec's AFHSS 2.4 GHz
system such as Spectra 2.4 module or dedicated built-in module AFHSS 2.4 Hitec transmitters.
FAIL-SAFE/Hold Mode Selectable
- The positions of the servos and other accessories can be set with a FAIL-SAFE point, if power to the receiver is
lost. See page 2 for details.
Low Onboard Battery Warning Function
While you are ying, you will know when the on-board battery is low with a warning alarm from the transmitter.
Review the Low Battery alarm features that use direct telemetry feedback to your transmitter on page 2.
Jumper*
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 a
regulated Li-Po battery. The jumper is removed when the receiver is powered using the SPC feature as
described in more detail on page 2.
*These functions/ features are only for the OPTIMA series of receivers.
Receiver Connection Diagrams
-To see a receiver connection diagram for the SPC feature, see page 2.
Note
Electric powered aircraft with Electronic Speed Control
Use this method on electric planes using ESCs providing power to the receiver and servo functions.
