Just a couple of clarifications to the TFR8 instructions.

1. The Fail Safe settings in the transmitter for each channel MUST be disabled. Otherwise the servos will twitch about once per second.

2. The brand new TFR8 receivers are preset to High Speed mode. This is only suitable for use with digital servos. Trying to operate an analog servo in high speed mode usually destroys the servo within a few seconds. Therefore the receiver must be set to normal speed for use with analog servos.

Here's how to set the receiver for high or low speed:

a. Leave transmitter turned off.
b. Power up the receiver.
c. Press and hold the button for 6 seconds, then release.
d. The red LED will blink faster in High Speed, and blink slower in Normal mode.
