Battery And Charger Handling Precautions - FUTABA 32MZ-WC Full Manual

Always check operation of each control surface and perform a
range test before each flying session. Also, when using the train-
er function, check the operation of both the teacher and student
transmitter.
■ Even one incorrect transmitter setting or aircraft abnormality can cause a
crash.
Before turning on the transmitter:
1. Always move the transmitter throttle stick position to the minimum (idle)
position.
2. Turn on the transmitter first and then the receiver.
When turning off the transmitter's power switch after the
engine or motor has stopped (state in which it will not rotate
again):
Battery and Charger Handling Precautions
DANGER
Do not recharge a battery that is damaged, deteriorated,
leaking electrolyte, or wet.
Do not use the charger in applications other than as intended.
Do not allow the charger or battery to become wet.
■ Do not use the charger when it or your hands are wet. Do not use the
charger in humid places.
Do not heat or short-circuit the battery.
Do not solder, repair, deform, modify, or disassemble the bat-
tery and/or battery charger.
Do not drop the battery into a fire or bring it near a fire or
store them in a hot area.
Do not charge and store the battery in direct sunlight or oth-
er hot places.
Do not charge the battery if it is covered with any object as it
may become very hot.
Do not apply excessive mechanical stress to it.
Do not use chargers other than those recommended by Futaba.
WARNING
Do not touch the charger and battery for any length of time
during charging.
■ Doing so may result in burns.
Do not use a charger or battery that has been damaged.
Do not touch any of the internal components of the charger.
■ Doing so may cause electric shock or a burn.
If any abnormalities such as smoke or discoloration are noted
with either the charger or the battery, remove the battery from
the transmitter or charger and disconnect the power cord plug
and do not use the charger.
■ Continued use may cause fire, combustion, generation of heat, or rupture.
Do not subject the batteries to impact.
■ Doing so may cause fire, combustion, generation of heat, rupture, or liquid
leakage.
Use and store the battery and battery charger in a secure lo-
cation away from children.
■ Not doing so may cause electric shock or injury.

1. Turn off the receiver power switch.
2. Then turn off the transmitter power switch.
■ If the power switch is turned on/off in the opposite order, the propeller
may rotate unexpectedly and cause a serious injury.
■ Also always observe the above order when setting the fail safe function.
When adjusting the transmitter, stop the engine except when
necessary. In the case of a motor, disconnect the wiring that
allows it to continue operation. When doing so, please exercise
extreme caution. Ensure that the aircraft is secured and that it
will not come into contact with anything or anyone. Ensure that
the motor will not rotate prior to making any adjustments.
■ Unexpected high speed rotation of the engine may cause a serious injury.
Do not use the battery in a combustible environment.
■ The combustibles may could ignite and cause an explosion or fire.
■ Charging the battery past the specified value may cause a fire, combustion,
rupture, or liquid leakage. When quick charging, do not charge the battery
above 1C.
■ Do not charge the battery while riding in a vehicle. Vibration will prevent
normal charging.
Insert the power cord plug firmly into the receptacle up to
its base.
Always use the charger with the specified power supply volt-
age.
■ Use the special charger by connecting it to a proper power outlet.
If the battery liquid should get in your eyes, do not rub your
eyes, but immediately wash them with tap water or other clean
water and get treated by a doctor.
■ The liquid can cause blindness.
Keep the battery out of reach of children.
Always charge the battery before each flying session.
■ If the battery goes dead during flight, the aircraft will crash.
Charge the battery with the dedicated charger supplied with
the set.
If the battery leaks liquid or generates an abnormal odor, im-
mediately move it to a safe place for disposal.
■ Not doing so may cause combustion.
If the battery liquid gets on your skin or clothing, immediate-
ly flush the area with tap water or other clean water.
■ Consult a doctor. The liquid can cause skin damage.
After the specified charging time has elapsed, end charging
and disconnect the charger from the receptacle.
When recycling or disposing of the battery, isolate the termi-
nals by covering them with tape.
■ Short circuit of the terminals may cause combustion, generation of heat or
rupture.
