step 1:  installing the tRansMitteR batteRies

q

   Push the transmitter antenna down into the moulded hole in the top of the 

transmitter.

q

  Thread the antenna (clockwise) into place and tighten it 

gently

 until it stops.

iMpoRtant  

Do not force the antenna into place or tighten it too strongly.  

Doing so could cause damage to the antenna and/or transmitter.

q

   Check to make sure that the transmitter power switch is in the OFF position 

(pulled back).

q

   Remove the battery cover from the bottom of the transmitter by pushing the 

tab, then pulling it up.

o

   Install 8 'AA' Alkaline batteries into the transmitter, double-checking to make 

sure that the polarity (+/-) is correct.

iMpoRtant  

Pay close attention to the polarity of the batteries as shown 

in the photo.

q

   Reinstall the battery cover by firmly pushing the back of the battery cover down, sliding it back into the U-shaped slot, then pushing 

the front down to snap it into place.

Upgrading your transmitter to use rechargeable NiCD or NiMH batteries is easy. All you need to do is purchase 
8 'AA' rechargeable NiCD or NiMH batteries and a 70mAH charger that is capable of charging up to 8 cells 
(9.6V). This will allow you to recharge the batteries without removing the batteries from the transmitter and it 
will save you money in the long run, since you won't need to purchase Alkaline batteries when they run low.

tRansMitteR upgRade tip

waRning

    Never  attempt  to  charge Alkaline  batteries. 

They are not designed to be charged and will leak or even 
explode.
