For Your Safety As Well As That Of Others

NiCd Battery Handling Precautions

(Only when NiCd batteries are used)

Warning

Mandatory Procedures

Always check to be sure your batter-
ies have been charged prior to oper-
ating the model.

Should the battery go dead while the model is operat-
ing, loss of control will occur and create a very dan-
gerous situation.

To recharge the transmitter NiCd, use
the special charger made for this pur-
pose.

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

Caution

Prohibited Items

Do not use commercial AA
size NiCd batteries.

Quick charging may cause the
battery contacts to overheat and
damage the battery holder.

Do not short circuit the NiCd battery
terminals.

Causing a short circuit across the battery terminals
may cause abnormal heating, fire and burns.

Do not drop the NiCd battery or ex-
pose it to strong shocks or vibrations.

The battery may short circuit and overheat, electrolyte
may leak out and cause burns or chemical damage.

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.
