style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt"><BR>This service advisory affects only owners of the
Futaba TM-7 module <BR>and 6EX and 7C FASST systems. Each FASST transmitter
contains a <BR>unique eight digit identification code, programmed at the
factory to <BR>identify the respective transmitter and to allow a receiver to
be <BR>paired only to that radio's signal. Recently we have learned that a
<BR>very small number of the TM-7 modules, and 6EX and 7C FASST systems
<BR>were incorrectly coded with a common code number during the
<BR>manufacturing process. These units were subsequently sold prior to <BR>our
awareness of the situation. <BR><BR>If two or more units, utilizing this
common identification code, were <BR>to be in use simultaneously, they may
cause interference with one <BR>another. Please note: Units which utilize the
correct identification <BR>code will not be affected by these units.
<BR><BR>We're extremely confident that this is not a widespread problem.
<BR>However, to catch any possible incorrectly coded units in the field
<BR>and to give you peace of mind that your system is not affected, we
<BR>have set up test stations at participating hobby shops throughout the
<BR>country where you will be able to determine -- within a matter of
<BR>minutes -- whether or not your transmitter is affected, at no charge
<BR>to you. There are 100 such Test Stations in place now, and the number
<BR>will be increased to 500 over the next two to three weeks. Please <BR>see:

for a listing of these testing stations. Or, if you <BR>prefer, you may send
it in to our service center and we will analyze <BR>it for you at no charge.
If any problem is found, it will be <BR>replaced. We will gladly pay the
postage for returning the unit and <BR>sending it back to you.<BR><BR>If you
have questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact <BR>our

Standard Time.<BR><BR>Precautionary Measures and Information-<BR><BR>It is
important to note that the precautionary measures are relevant <BR>only to the
Futaba FASST items with serial numbers as described <BR>below. To determine if
your transmitter might be affected, look on <BR>the bottom of the transmitter
case. If using the TM-7 module, the <BR>serial number is located on the inside
portion of the module:<BR><BR>6EX: A7xxxxxxx without the "I" (Inspected)
sticker<BR>7C 07xxxxxxx without the "I" (Inspected) sticker<BR>TM-7 07xxxxxx
without the "I" (Inspected) sticker<BR><BR>The precautionary measures do not
apply to systems that utilize a <BR>serial number as noted below:<BR>6EX ALL
A8xxxxxxx or systems with the A7xxxxxxx serial number which <BR>include the
"I" (Inspected) sticker<BR>7C ALL 08xxxxxxx or systems with the 07xxxxxxx
which include <BR>the "I" (Inspected) sticker<BR>TM-7 ALL 08xxxxxx or modules
with the 07xxxxxx which include the "I" <BR>(Inspected) sticker<BR><BR>1) As
with all radio control equipment, we strongly suggest that you <BR>pre-flight
your aircraft thoroughly prior to flying. When flying at <BR>a location with
other FASST owners, prior to flying we suggest that <BR>all pilots briefly
activate their systems simultaneously to check for <BR>any interaction between
units. If any interactions should occur, do <BR>NOT fly. Return the unit to
the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Futaba</st1:PlaceName>
<st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Service</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType
w:st="on">Center</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> for immediate <BR>replacement.
<BR><BR>2) Each time that your transmitter is turned on, it is imperative
<BR>that you allow the FASST system an adequate amount of time to
<BR>thoroughly boot-up completely before shutting down the transmitter.
<BR>After the battery voltage appears on the LCD, we recommend allowing
<BR>the system to remain on at least one (1) additional second prior to
<BR>turning off the power to the transmitter. <BR><BR>3) If the transmitter
and receiver have lost their binding which <BR>required them to be re-linked,
we recommend returning them to the <BR><st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName
w:st="on">Futaba</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceName
w:st="on">Service</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType
w:st="on">Center</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> for analysis. This is not
expected behavior <BR>and should be investigated accordingly.
