NiCd Battery Handling Precautions

(Only when NiCd batteries are used)

Warning

––––––––––––––– Mandatory Procedures –––––––––––––––

Always check to be sure your batteries
have been charged prior to operating

the model.

Should the battery go dead while the model is operating,
loss of control will occur and create a very dangerous
situation.

When the model is not being used,
always remove or disconnect the NiCd

battery.

Should the battery be left connected this could create a
dangerous situation if someone accidentally turns on the
receiver power switch. Loss of control would occur.

To recharge the transmitter NiCd,
use the special charger made for this

purpose.

Overcharging could cause the NiCd battery to overheat,
leak or explode. This may lead to fire, burns, loss of
sight and many other types of injuries.
