(When using a rechargeable battery to power your system)
Before you turn on the power switch on the transmitter, always check to see
that the stick is at the neutral position. Always turn the transmitter on first,
then the receiver. When you turn the system off, always turn the receiver off
first then the transmitter.
This step is very important always follow this procedure.
If this procedure is not followed, injury to yourself and others as well as loss of
control could occur.
(Adjustment Note)
Make all adjustments to the radio control system with engine not running, or
the electric motor disconnected.
If the engine is running or the motor is connected while adjustments are made the
model may run out of control.
Remove the main battery source from electric powered models when they are
not being used.
Should you accidently leave the receiver switch on the model could run out of
control.
Do not throw a rechargeable battery into a fire. Do not disassemble or attempt
to repair a rechargeable battery pack.
Overheating, damage and acid leakage may lead to burns, loss of eye sight as well
as numerous other types of injuries. The electrolyte in Ni-cad batteries is a strong
alkali. Should you get even the smallest amount of the electrolyte in your eyes, Do
Not rub, wash immediately with water, seek medical attention at once. The electro-
lyte can cause blindness. If electrolyte comes in contact with your skin or clothes,
wash with water immediately.
(When using a Ni-Cd/Ni-MH battery to power your system)
At the end of a days operation store the system with Ni-Cd/Ni-MH battery
discharged. Be sure to recharge the system before it is used again.
You should fully discharge your systems batteries periodicity to prevent a condition
called "memory effect". For example if you only make two run in a day or you regu-
larly use a small amount of the batteries capacity, the memory effect can reduce the
actual capacity even if the battery is charged for the recommended amount of time.
