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: <a

face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>list 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 Futaba Service Center at: 217-398-0007 or via email at: <br>
<a href="mailto:service%40futaba-rc.com">service@futaba-<wbr>rc.com</a>. Our
staff is available to you Monday-Friday, <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 Futaba Service Center 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>
Futaba Service Center for analysis. This is not expected behavior <br>
and should be investigated accordingly. </span></font></p>
