Precautions for use
ە
The battery at the time of purchase:
The battery discharges by itself even if it is not used. When you purchase the battery,
please charge it to full capacity before use. Also, whenever the battery has not been used
for a long period of time, recharge it before use.
Regarding how to charge it, please refer to the instruction manual of your Futaba
transmitter.
ە
When you connect the battery:
When you connect the battery to your Futaba transmitter, pay attention to the polarity of
the connector. Do not pull wiring
when you remove a connector.
ە
How to care for the battery:
Remove stains from the battery by wiping it with a dry and soft cloth. Do not use a wet
cloth, alcohol, thinner, benzene or detergent.
ە
Operating temperatures:
The further the temperature goes down, the more the operating time shortens. When you
use the battery at low temperature, it is recommended to have another super-charged
battery as a backup.
ە
Carry and storage:
Do not leave the battery in the battery charger or the equipment when stored. Even when
the power switch is off, a small amount of electricity continues to leak out of the battery
and may lead to a decrease in battery performance. If you do not use the battery, store it
in a cool and dry place with a temperature between 15°C and 25°C (59 and 77 F).
When you carry or store the battery, take steps to avoid short-circuiting of the +/-
terminals. Do not put any metallic objects including personal ornaments in a bag or
drawer with the battery. This could cause a fire, overheating, explosion or the leakage of
electrolyte fluid.
ە
Service life:
Battery performance degrades gradually after repeated charging and discharging. If the
operating time of the battery decreases significantly, it may be time to replace it with a
new one. Battery capacity usually decreases by half after about 300 charge/discharge
cycles, depending on the operating conditions.
ە
Recycling of unneeded batteries:
The RBRC. SEAL on the nickel battery contained in Futaba products
indicates that Futaba Corporation of America is voluntarily
participating in an industry-wide program to collect and recycle these
batteries at the end of their useful lives, when taken out of service
within the United States. The RBRC. program provides a convenient
alternative to placing used nickel batteries into the trash or municipal
waste system, which is illegal in some areas.
(for USA)
You may contact your local recycling center for information on
where to return the spent battery. Please call 1-800-8BATTERY for
information on NiMH battery recycling in your area. Futaba
Corporation of America's involvement in this program is part of its
commitment to protecting our environment and conserving natural
resources.

: Prohibited
: Mandatory
To avoid a fire, overheating, explosion or the leakage of electrolyte fluid, do not give the battery
excessive shock, throw it, or damage it.
If you notice any abnormalities such as the leakage of electrolyte fluid, discoloration,
deformation, overheating, or giving out a bad odor, remove the battery from the equipment or
the battery charger immediately and stop using it. Continuing to use the battery under these
conditions could result in a fire, overheating or explosion.
Never put the battery in a microwave oven or high-pressure container. This could cause a fire, the
leakage of electrolyte fluid, overheating or explosion.
If the battery leaks or gives out a bad odor, keep it away from heat sources. Leaked electrolyte
fluid may catch fire, causing the battery to smoke, burn or explode.
If the fluid leaked from the battery sticks to your skin or clothes, wash it off immediately with
clean water, and see a doctor. That may cause skin problems.
If charging does not complete in 3 hours, stop the charging to prevent fire, overheating or
explosion(The standard charging time is 2 hours and 30 minutes).
When you recycle or dispose the battery, use the plastic tape to insulate its terminals. If the
battery is short-circuited, it may cause a fire, overheating or explosion. If you want to recycle the
battery, please take it to a shop that handles recycled products. If you dispose the battery, please
comply with the regulations your city government has set.
