Storage and Disposal Precautions
ｌ 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 batteries
can be very dangerous when mishandled and cause chemical damage.
ｌ Do not throw Ni-MH/Mi-Cd batteries into a fire. Do not expose batteries to extreme heat. Also do
not disassemble or modify a battery pack.
Overheating and breakage will cause the electrolyte to leak from the cells and cause skin burns, loss of sight, and other
injuries.
ｊ When the system will not be used for any length of time, store the system with HT5F1700B batter-
ies in a discharged state. Be sure to recharge the batteries prior to the next time the system is used.
If the batteries are repeatedly recharged in a slightly discharged state, the memory effect of the Ni-Cd battery may
considerably reduce the capacity . A reduction in operating time will occur even when the batteries are charged for the
recommended time. (After discharge to 1cell E.V.=1V)
<Ni-MH/Ni-Cd Battery Electrolyte>
The electrolyte in Ni-MH/Ni-Cd 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.
ｌ Do not store your R/C system in the following places.
- Where it is extremely hot or cold.
- Where the system will be exposed to direct sunlight.
- Where the humidity is high.
-Where vibration is prevalent.
-Where dust is prevalent.
-Where the system would be exposed to steam and condensation.
Storing your R/C system under adverse conditions could cause deforma-
tion and numerous problems with operation.
ｊ If the system will not be used
for a long period of time, re-
move the batteries from the
transmitter and model and
store in a cool, dry place.
If the batteries are left in the trans-
mitter, electrolyte may leak and dam-
age the transmitter. This applies to
the model also. Remove the batteries
from it also to prevent damage.
ｌ 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.
ｊ Always use only genuine Futaba transmitters, receivers, servos, ESCs (electronic speed con-
trols), Ni-MH/Ni-Cd batteries and other optional accessories.
Futaba will not be responsible for problems caused by the use of other than Futaba genuine parts. Use the parts speci-
fied in the instruction manual and catalog.
Other Precautions
<Ni-MH/Ni-Cd Battery Recycling>
A used battery is valuable resource. Insulate the battery terminals and dispose of the battery by taking it to a battery recycling center.
ｊ Always keep the charger disconnected from the outlet while it is not in use.
