USing Li-PO OR Li-FE BaTTERiES
l
Use ONLY a 2 Cell Li-Po or Li-Fe battery pack of desired capacity. DO NOT uSE A 3 CELL LI-PO OR LI-FE BATTERY PACK
or the transmitter and/or receiver will be damaged.
l
Do NOT charge your battery through the transmitter using the Charging Jack. It MuST be removed from the transmitter for
charging or the transmitter could be damaged.
l
Use a charger specifically designed to charge Li-Po or Li-Fe batteries.
l
When changing the connector on your battery to match the battery power plug in the transmitter (or
on the receiver switch harness), please observe correct polarity. Connecting with reverse polarity
will damage the transmitter and/or receiver.
l
Observe all safety precautions provided with your Li-Po or Li-Fe battery before and during use, and during the charging process.
l
Damage to the transmitter and/or receiver caused by improper use, wrong battery type, or reverse polarity will not be covered
under warranty.

l
We suggest Binding the transmitter and receiver, and setting the Throttle Fail Safe position, prior to mounting your receiver in
your model.
l
The receiver should be mounted as far away from any electrical components as possible.
l
Route the receiver antenna up through a plastic tube so that it is in the vertical position.
l
To protect the receiver from vibration and other damage, we recommend wrapping the receiver in shock absorbing foam when
installing it in your model.
WARNING
The receiver is NOT equipped with BEC circuitry. DO NOT use a receiver battery with a nominal voltage greater
than 7.4 volts to power the receiver. When using an ESC, it should feature a BEC circuit that lowers the voltage to the receiver
to between 4.8 volts and 7.4 volts.
Set your model on a stand so the wheels are off the ground before turning on your radio control system or connecting
your motor for the first time.
Use the diagram below to make the connections to the RX-451 4-Channel receiver.
The RX-451 receiver's Nominal Input Voltage is 4.8v ~ 7.4v. This means that a 2 cell Li-Po or 2 cell Li-Fe battery can safely
be used to power the receiver without the use of a voltage regulator
WARNING
If you are using a 7.4 volt receiver battery, you MUST also use 7.4 volt-rated servos. Using 6.0 volt servos with a
7.4 volt receiver battery can result in damage to your servos and will not be covered under warranty.
1) Install four fresh 'AA' Alkaline batteries into the battery holder, making sure that the polarity is correct. The direction that each
battery should be installed is molded into the battery holder (+ Positive and - Negative).
