THE NICKEL METAL HYDRIDE (NI-MH) RC TRANSMITTER BATTERY
The NI-MH RC transmitter battery will last about 5-6 hours on a full charge. Charge the battery
for
14 hours
. A charge jack is provided on the transmitter for recharging its internal batteries.
This round jack is located on the right side of the radio control. (See the radio control diagram)
The RC power switch must be in the off position when the charger is plugged into it and must
remain in the off position while charging. A light on the charger will be on, when charging.
To avoid a RC battery going dead during a presentation, start the program with a fully charged
battery or be aware of how much charge there is left in the battery. If you have an extra battery
you can change batteries and keep going.
To install the NI-MH battery pack you need to take the battery cover off the RC.
Disconnect the RC battery and put the NI-MH battery in its place.

Caution:
Do not overcharge the batteries as this could cause permanent damage to the
transmitter batteries. (Doubling the normal charging time is the type of over charging
that is meant here, and the battery getting hot.) When the battery level needle goes in
the red, the robot should be turned off because the robot could act erratic without the
transmitter signal.
