7 Safety Precautions
Other Safety Precautions

CAUTION
 When operating two or more models at the same time, have a third person act as a spotter.
They will be in charge of safety and you should follow their instructions.
 Beginners should receive instructions regarding safety and operation from an experienced
modeler.
 Always use only genuine Futaba transmitter, receivers, servos, and electronic speed
controls, along with other optional parts and components.
Futaba will not be held responsible for damages caused by other than genuine Futaba
parts and components. Use only genuine Futaba parts and components listed in the in-
struction manual and catalog.
 Do not short circuit the Ni-Cd/Ni-MH battery terminals.
Short circuiting the terminals will lead to sparks and overheating and could cause a fire
and burns as well.
 Do not expose plastic parts to fuel, motor spray, waste oil or exhaust.
The fuel, motor spray, waste oil and exhaust will penetrate and damage the plastic.
<Ni-Cd/Ni-MH Battery Electrolyte>
The electrolyte in Ni-Cd/Ni-MH batteries is a strong alkali. Should you get even the smallest amount of the
electrolyte in your eyes, DO NOT RUB. Wash immediately with water and seek medical attention at once.
The electrolyte can cause blindness. If electrolyte comes in contact with your skin or clothes, wash with
water immediately.
 Do not leave the radio system or models within the reach of small children.
A small child may accidentally operate the system. This could cause a dangerous situation
and injuries. Ni-Cd/Ni-MH batteries can be very dangerous when mishandled and cause
chemical damage.

CAUTION
 Do not store your R/C system where it will be exposed to the following conditions.
• Extreme heat or coldness
• Exposed to direct sunlight
• Where humidity is high
• Where vibration is prevalent
• Where dust is prevalent
• Where there is steam and condensation
Storing your R/C system under adverse conditions could cause deformation and numerous
other problems with operation.
 If the system will not be used for a long period of time, remove the batteries from the model
and store in a cool, dry place.
If the batteries are left in the model, electrolyte may leak and damage the model.
<Ni-Cd/Ni-MH Battery Recycling>
A used Ni-Cd/Ni-MH battery is valuable resource. Insulate the battery terminals and dispose of the battery
by taking it to a battery recycling center.
