4. Reinstall the battery cover. Ensure that the
charge lead is not pinched or severed when the
cover is reinstalled.
5. Insert the antenna into the top of the transmitter.
Turn the antenna clockwise to screw it in place. Do
not overtighten antenna.
6. Finally, if it has not already been done, remove
the tape holding the antenna to the tail of the plane
and unwind the antenna. Do NOT cut off the excess
antenna wire.
Charging the Plane’s NiMH Batteries
1. With the power switch on the transmitter set to
“OFF,” connect the battery to the charge lead on the
bottom of the transmitter.
2. Press and hold the charge button down on the
transmitter for 3 minutes or until the small yellow dot
on the battery turns orange. Always use your finger
to depress the charge button. NEVER tape it down or
otherwise modify it. Doing so could cause damage to
the battery or the transmitter.
3. During charging, feel the battery every so often to
see if it is starting to warm up. A warmed up (but not
hot) battery pack is a sign that it is fully charged.
Once the pack is warm, disconnect it from the
charger. Depending on how much charge was
already in the pack, you may have to disconnect the
battery early.
IMPORTANT! NEVER LEAVE A
CHARGING BATTERY UNATTENDED.
