When reinstalling the back half of the transmitter, be very careful that you don't bend or otherwise damage the battery
pins. These long battery pins should be carefully slid through the matching holes in the back half of the transmitter before
pushing it down into place.

6) Reinstall the transmitter battery and plug it back in. The
battery connector is polarized and can therefore be plugged
in only one way.

4) To increase the spring tension of the control sticks, tighten
(turn clockwise) the adjustment screws (A). To decrease the
spring tension of the control sticks, loosen (turn counter-
clockwise) the adjustment screws (A).
5) When satisfied with the results, carefully reinstall the back
half of the transmitter.
In the default configuration, the spring tension is preset to
a soft feel.
The Gemini X 2.4GHz FHSS-3 transmitter's Nominal Input Voltage is 4.8v ~ 7.4v. This means that the transmitter can be used
with several different battery types, depending on your preference.
The Gemini X 2.4GHz FHSS-3 transmitter features a Charging Jack, which can be used with a 4 cell overnight charger to
recharge the optional Ni-Cd or Ni-MH the batteries without removing them from the transmitter. For more information, please visit
your local Sanwa or Airtronics dealer or our website at http://www.sanwa-denshi.co.jp or http://www.airtronics.net.
Alkaline - In the default configuration, the transmitter is designed to be powered using 4 'AA' Alkaline batteries (not included).
This results in a transmitter that is lightweight and well-balanced for unmatched comfort.
Ni-Cd/Ni-MH - Rechargeable batteries (available separately) can be used. Using rechargeable batteries will provide longer
usage time and reduced cost in the long run, since you won't need to continuously purchase new Alkaline batteries.
Li-Po or Li-Fe - A 2 cell Li-Po battery or a 2 cell Li-Fe (battery (available separately) can be used to power the transmitter.
Please see the Using Li-Po or Li-Fe Batteries section at the bottom of page 10 if you decide to use one of these types of batteries.

IMPORTANT In the default configuration, the transmitter is programmed to use 4 'AA' Alkaline cells. If you're using a 2
cell Li-Po or 2 cell Li-Fe battery, the Battery Cell Count must be changed in the SETUP menu from 4 Cell to 6 Cell. For more
information, see page 45.
Transmitter power output, range, and speed is the same, regardless of the battery type/cell count used.
WARNING
An after-market peak-detection charger, cycler, or fast charger should NOT be used to charge Ni-Cd or Ni-MH
rechargeable batteries through the transmitter. The circuitry within the transmitter can interfere with the peak-detection
charger's normal operation, resulting in over-charging and damaging the batteries, and possibly the transmitter itself.
In addition, a fast charger can damage the transmitter's circuitry. These chargers can be used, but ONLY if the batteries are
charged outside of the transmitter.
1) Remove the battery cover on the back of the transmitter by pushing down firmly on the two tabs in the top of the battery cover
and pulling the battery cover out.
2) Remove the battery holder, then
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).
3) Push the battery holder back into place, making sure that it's centered, then set the bottom of the battery cover back onto the
transmitter and push it firmly until it 'clicks' closed.
