The TTX610 is available in either a “Mode 2” configuration with

with throttle on the right and elevator on the left. Be sure the radio
purchased is of the correct mode.

tacticrc.com/transmitters and follow the link for the TTX610 radio

to find detailed instructions.

INPUT POWER

Four 1.5V “AA” alkaline batteries or 1.2V rechargeable nickel-cadmium (NiCd) or nickel-metal hydride (NiMH)

batteries are required (not included). Do not mix cell types, or old and new cells, etc. See the SERVOS AND

ACCESSORIES section on page 12 for optional batteries available at local hobby retailers. Slide open the

battery door. Insert all cells with the proper polarity as shown inside the battery holder. Close the battery door.

POWER SWITCH, LED, AND LOW BATTERY ALARM

The red LED should light when the power switch is moved upwards to the “ON” position. The Tx should have

adequate power for flight when the LED is on constantly. Flashing of this LED accompanied by beeps means
the Tx batteries have weakened and operation of the model should NOT be attempted!

WARNING! Never operate an R/C model with weak Tx batteries! Reduced operational range

and/or possible loss of control of the aircraft could result. Replace weak alkaline batteries,
or re-charge NiCd or NiMH batteries before attempting a flight! If this alarm activates
during flight land the aircraft immediately! Failure to do so could result in destruction of
the model and possibly bodily injury!

CHARGE JACK AND CHARGING RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES

WARNING!! Do NOT attempt to recharge alkaline batteries! The charge jack should ONLY be

used if rechargeable cells are used in the transmitter. Do not accidentally short circuit the terminals
inside the charge jack as permanent damage could result and void the warranty.

The TTX610 includes a built-in charge jack for convenient recharging of

NiCd or NiMH batteries, and is compatible with charge leads designed
for Futaba

®

brand transmitters with the center pin being positive polarity.

This jack is NOT compatible with charge leads for Hitec

®

, Airtronics

®

, JR

®

or Spektrum

®

radios. Always make sure to use a charger (not included)

which is 100% compatible with the selected battery type.

To use the charge jack, make sure the Tx power switch is in the OFF position. Connect a compatible charge

lead (such as TACP0101) to the charger first, then to the Tx charge jack. Follow the instructions included

with the charger.

WARNING!! Do not charge batteries at currents greater than 1 amp through this charge

jack. Misuse, improper charging, or over-charging of rechargeable cells can result in
damage to the cells that could include cell rupture, explosion, or fire!!
