CHARGING THE Ni-Cd BATTERIES

CHARGING THE Ni-Cd BATTERIES

 

The transmitter and receiver batteries included with your 6EXAP system are rechargeable, Ni-Cd (nickel-cadmium, pronounced 
ni-kad) batteries. Ni-Cd batteries require special care and charging.      

Read the charging instructionscarefully.

Read the charging instructionscarefully. 

NOTE:

NOTE:

 The batteries are supplied partially charged, but will require a full, overnight charge before the model may be flown.

1. Connect the 

transmitter charging cord

transmitter charging cord

 coming from the A/C wall charger to the charge jack in the right side of the 

transmitter case. The 

receiver charging cord

receiver charging cord

 may be connected to the batteries two different ways: The charge cord 

may be connected directly to the battery pack, or to the vacant charge connector (black) coming from the on/off switch in 
the model. Charging “through the switch” is preferred as there will be no need to disconnect the battery. 

2. Plug the A/C wall charger into a wall outlet. 

Note:

Note:

 If the wall outlet can be turned off by a switch in the room, be certain 

the switch remains on after leaving the room. Otherwise, the batteries will not be charged! 

3. The LEDs (light-emitting diodes) should light red, indicating that current is flowing and the batteries are being charged. 

Discharged batteries will take about 15 hours to fully charge. If using an aftermarket fast charger, 

be certain to follow
