Battery Selection
We recommend the 2200mAh 14.8V 4S 30C Li-Po battery (SPMX22004S30).
Refer to the Optional Parts List for other recommended batteries. If using
a battery other than those listed, the battery should be within the range of
capacity, dimensions and weight of the Spektrum Smart Li-Po battery packs to
fit in the fuselage. Be sure the model balances at the recommended CG.
1. Lower the throttle to the lowest settings. Power on the Transmitter, then
wait 5 seconds.
2. For added security apply the loop side (soft side) of the optional hook and loop
tape (
A
) to the bottom of your battery and the hook side to the battery tray.
3. Press the battery latch button (
B
) to remove the battery hatch.
4. Install the fully charged battery (
C
) in the battery compartment as shown.
See the Adjusting the Center of Gravity instructions for more information.
5. Make sure the flight battery is secured using the hook and loop straps (
D
).
6. Connect the battery to the ESC (the ESC is now armed).
7. Keep the aircraft immobile on its landing gear and away from wind or the
system will not initialize.
• The ESC will sound a series of tones.
• An LED will light on the receiver.
If the ESC sounds a continuous beep after the flight battery is connected,
recharge or replace the battery.
8. Reinstall the canopy hatch.
WARNING:
Always keep hands away from the propeller. When armed,
the motor will turn the propeller in response to any throttle
movement.
WARNING:
If your transmitter supports it, always engage throttle cut
before approaching the aircraft any time a battery is connected.
