When charging the NT8F700B Ni-cad battery with the special charger, allow about
15 hours for charging. If the transmitter has not been used for some time, cycle the
battery by charging and discharging it two or three times.
Diode Protection
The transmitter charging circuit is equipped with a 1.5A diode to prevent short cir-
cuits. If the battery is charged with a quick charger for other than digital proportional
R/C sets, it may not be fully charged and the circuits inside the transmitter may be
damaged.
Always use the special charger or a quick charger for digital pro-
portional R/C sets to charge a digital proportional R/C set Ni-cad
battery.
Overcharging a Ni-cad battery can result in burns, fire, injuries, or loss of sight due to
overheating, breakage, or electrolyte leakage.
Never try to recharge a dry cell bat-
tery.
The transmitter may be damaged or the battery
electrolyte may leak or the battery may break.
When the charger is not in use, dis-
connect it from the AC outlet.
Do this to prevent accidents and to avoid overheat-
ing.
Caution
Never plug it into an outlet other
than indicated voltage.
Plugging the charger into the wrong outlet may re-
sult in an explosion, sparking, or fire.
Do not insert and remove the
charger when you hands are wet.
It may cause an electric shock.
Warning
Use the
special
charger.
