To Battery
The transmitter and receiver batteries included with your 6EXAP system are rechargeable, Ni-Cd (nickel-cadmium, pronounced
ni-kad) batteries. Ni-Cd batteries require special care and charging.
NOTE:
NOTE: The batteries are supplied partially charged, but will require a full, overnight charge before the model may be flown.
1. Connect the transmitter charging cord
transmitter charging cord coming from the A/C wall charger to the charge jack in the right side of the
transmitter case. The receiver charging cord
may be connected directly to the battery pack, or to the vacant charge connector (black) coming from the on/off switch in
the model. Charging " through the switch " is preferred as there will be no need to disconnect the battery.
2. Plug the A/C wall charger into a wall outlet. Note:
the switch remains on after leaving the room. Otherwise, the batteries will not be charged!
3. The LEDs (light-emitting diodes) should light red, indicating that current is flowing and the batteries are being charged.
Discharged batteries will take about 15 hours to fully charge. If using an aftermarket fast charger, be certain to follow
the manufacturer
the manufacturer ' s instructions provided with the charger
s instructions provided with the charger so you do not overcharge the batteries. NEVER
the batteries at a rate higher than 1,000mAh. The batteries should also be discharged periodically to prevent a condition
