Charging the Battery

When the joystick remote is being charged, for safety reasons it stops operating 
the crawler or ACR and starts displaying the battery state. The LEDs will show 
approximate state of the battery charge. If all the LEDs are lit it means 100%, 
if no LEDs are lit it is 0%. To start using the remote simply unplug it from the 
charger.

  

Please Note

 the battery cannot be charged in temperatures below

   

freezing. Joystick will operate as normal if placed in charger, in  

 

   

conditions below freezing.
