T-80RF user’s guide

The T-80RF can be powered either by alkaline batteries or by
an optional rechargeable NiCad battery pack. You selected
the type of power when you purchased the transmitter. Fol-
low the instructions on this page for your power system.

Installing alkaline batteries

1. Remove the battery cover: push inward on the cover where

it is marked “Push,” then slide the cover toward the
bottom of the transmitter.

2. Install 8 fresh AA alkaline cells according to the polarity

markings in the battery compartment.

3. Replace the battery cover: position the cover over the

battery chamber, insert the cover tabs into the slots in the
transmitter body, then slide the cover toward the top of the
transmitter.

1. Turn the T-80RF on by sliding the power switch to the up

position.

2. Observe the battery condition indicator light (just above

the power switch):

3. Turn the T-80RF off by sliding the power switch to the

down position.

Powering the transmitter

Tip:

Alkaline batteries should last for about 10 hours

of operation. Take an extra set to the flying field, in
case the set in the transmitter becomes unusable.

Using the optional NiCad batteries

If you ordered the NiCad battery option, the battery pack was
installed at the factory and you do not need to install it. How-
ever, you must charge the battery pack for 24 hours before us-
ing the transmitter for the first time. Charge the battery pack
using the included charger.

Charging the NiCad batteries

1. Turn off the T-80RF by sliding its power switch to the down

position.

2. Connect the charger’s transmitter connector to the

Charge

jack on the front of the T-80RF.

3. If you also need to charge a receiver battery pack, connect

the charger’s receiver connector to the pack.

4. Plug the charger into a standard 120VAC wall outlet. If the

batteries are properly connected and charging, the charger’s
corresponding indicator light will glow.

5. Before first use, charge the batteries for 24 hours. Then,

before each flying session, charge the batteries for 10 to 12
hours.

Caring for NiCad batteries

NiCad batteries, if properly maintained, will provide long life.
About once per month, you should fully discharge NiCad bat-
teries, then fully charge them. This helps prevent NiCad
“memory” effects, which can lead to lower capacity and false
indications of proper charge level.

Tip:

After initial battery charging, a field charger can

recharge transmitter, receiver and/or flight pack NiCad
batteries in as little as 20 minutes from a 12 volt stor-
age or automobile battery.  This is convenient when
you need to charge batteries and there isn’t a 120VAC
outlet nearby to supply power for a wall plug-in type
charger.  The FMA Direct catalog  lists several peak-
detecting field chargers (or visit www.fmadirect.com on
the Web).  Please read and follow the instructions that
come with your field charger before fast-charging any
battery pack.

Tip:

FMA Direct offers battery management systems

that help keep batteries in top condition.

Note:

The NiCad battery pack is permanently installed

in the T-80RF. If it needs to be replaced, please return
the T-80RF to an FMA service center.

Note:

Check the battery indicator periodically during

each session. If you are flying an airplane and the bat-
tery indicator turns red, land the plane immediately.
