Operation Precautions - FUTABA 2HR Instruction Manual

WARNING
When using a Ni-Cd/Ni-MH battery to power your system, always charge and check the battery
voltage prior to operation. Should the battery discharge below the minimum voltage level, control will
be lost.
Prior to operation always perform a range test. Even one abnormality in the R/C system may cause
loss of control.
[Range Test Procedure]
Have a friend hold the model, or place on a stand where the Sticks or prop can not come in contact
with any object. Operate from a distance of about 100 feet. Be sure to check the movement of each
servo to make sure it follows the movement of the steering Stick and throttle Stick. If the servos do
not follow the commands from the transmitter or any type of interference is detected, Do Not operate
the model.
Never operate in the rain or run through puddles.
The transmitter, receiver, batteries and most servos, and speed controls are not waterproof. Contact
with any type of moisture or immersion in water or snow will cause damage along with possible loss
of control. Should any type of moisture enter any component of the system, immediately stop using
the R/C system and return it to our service center for inspection.
Do not operate when visibility is limited.
Should you lose sight of the model, a collision or other dangerous situation may occur.
Do not operate near people or roads.
Do not operate on any pond when boats are present.
Do not operate near high tension power lines or communication broadcasting antennas.
Prior to the operation of any model be sure the area you plan to use is safe.
Be aware of all objects that may be in the path of your model.
Do not operate the model where people or any type of moveable object could stray in the path of your
model.
Control loss due to interference, component failure, loss of sight or low battery voltage could result in
serious injury to yourself and others as well as damage to your model.
Do not operate when you are tired, not feeling well or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Your judgment is impaired and could result in a dangerous situation that may cause serious injury to
yourself and others.
(Turning on the power switches)
Always check the throttle Stick on the transmitter to be sure it is at the neutral position.
1. Turn on the transmitter power switch.
2. Turn on the receiver or speed control power switch.
(Turning off the power switches)
Always be sure the engine is not running or the motor is stopped.
1. Turn off the receiver or speed control power switch.
2. Then turn off the transmitter power switch.
If the power switches are turned off in the opposite order the model may unexpectedly run out of con-
trol and cause a very dangerous situation.
