FUTABA 7PXR, Instruction Manual

Warning
Do not leave the radio system or models within reach of small children.
A small child may accidentally operate the system, and this could cause a dangerous situation and injuries. Ni-Cd batteries can be
hazardous when mishandled and cause chemical damage.
Do not throw Ni-MH/Ni-Cd/LiFe batteries into a fire. Do not expose batteries to extreme heat. Also, do not
disassemble or modify a battery pack.
Overheating and breakage will cause the electrolyte to leak from the cells and cause skin burns, loss of sight, and other injuries.
When the system will not be used for any length of time, store the system with Ni-MH/Ni-Cd batteries in a
discharged state. Be sure to recharge the batteries before the next time the system is used.
If the batteries are repeatedly recharged in a slightly discharged state, the memory effect of the Ni-MH/Ni-Cd battery may con-
siderably reduce the capacity. A reduction in operating time will occur even when the batteries are charged for the recommended
time. (After discharge to 1cell E.V.=1V)
When a LiFe battery pack will not be used for a long time, to prevent it from deteriorating we recommend
that it be kept in about the half capacity state instead of fully charged. Also, be careful that the battery
does not enter the over-discharged state due to self-discharge.
Periodically (about every three months) charge the battery.
Do not store your R/C system in the following places.
- Where it is extremely hot or cold.
- Where the system will be exposed to direct sunlight.
- Where the humidity is high.
- Where vibration is prevalent.
- Where dust is prevalent.
- Where the system would be exposed to steam and condensation.
Storing your R/C system under adverse conditions could cause deformation and numerous problems with operation.
If the system will not be used for a long period of time, remove the batteries from the transmitter and mod-
el and store in a cool, dry place.
If the battery remains in the transmitter, the electrolyte may leak and damage the transmitter. This phenomenon also applies to
models. Also, remove the battery to prevent damage.

Storage And Disposal Precautions
<Ni-MH/Ni-Cd Battery Electrolyte>
The electrolyte in Ni-Cd/Ni-MH batteries is a strong alkali. Should you get even the smallest amount of the electrolyte in

Caution
Do not expose plastic parts to fuel, motor spray, waste oil or exhaust.
The fuel, motor spray, waste oil and exhaust will penetrate and damage the plastic.
Always use only genuine Futaba transmitters, receivers, servos, ESCs (electronic speed controls), Ni-MH/
Ni-Cd/LiFe batteries, and other optional accessories.
Futaba will not be responsible for problems caused by the use of other than genuine Futaba parts. Use the parts specified in the
instruction manual and catalog.
Other Precautions
<Ni-MH/Ni-Cd/LiFe Battery Recycling>
A used battery is a valuable resource. Insulate the battery terminals and dispose of the battery by taking it to a battery recycling center.
