b) Charging Rechargeable Batteries in the Transmitter
The transmitter is equipped with a charge socket to charge the inserted rechargeable
batteries.
Please pay attention to the following safety instructions and information:
| If the transmitter is turned on, please do not connect the adapter with the battery
(1. 5V/cell) must not be recharged. There is a risk of fire and explosion!
Only charge rechargeable batteries (1. 2V/cell) intended for this purpose.
The transmitter has to be switched off during the charging process.
Please also observe the correct polarity of the connector plug. The inner contact
of the charge socket has to be connected to the plus connection (+) and the
outside contact to the minus connection (-) of the charger.
The charging current should be approx. 1/10 of the capacity value of the inserted
rechargeable batteries. For rechargeable batteries with a capacity of 2000 mAh
this corresponds to a charging current of approx. 200 mA and the charging time
takes approx 14 hours.
In order to avoid damages of internal circuit paths and connections
don' t use fast chargers.
please
Since a protective diode is integrated in the transmitter, do not use chargers
that briefly interrupt the charging current in order to measure the current
rechargeable battery voltage in this case, the rechargeable batteries must be
removed from the transmitter.
With NiCd r e c h a r g e a b l e b a t t e r i e s a memory effect can occur. If NiCd
rechargeable batteries are charged when they are not fully discharged, their
capacity diminishes in the course of time. Thus, such rechargeable batteries
must be discharged with an appropriate charger outside of the transmitter and
then charged completely again.
c) Switching the Transmitter On/off
Attention!
• The flight control system in the model is equipped with an effective protective
I circuit which later prevents the unintentional start-up of the drive motor.
l l S ;
However, before each operation of the transmitter, you must ensure that
the control stick for the motor rotation speed is in
the Motor off position.
For this purpose, the control stick has to be pushed down completely or
pulled towards you as far as possible. Sine unlike with the control functions
of the rudder, there is no reset spring for the stick function for the motor
rotation speed, the control stick always remains in the previously set position.
When the rechargeable batteries are charged or when new batteries are inserted, for
test purposes, switch the transmitter on via the function switch. The LED display glows
red and signals an adequate power supply to the transmitter.
If the power supply does not suffice for the transmitter to work properly (lower than 8. 8V)
the LED's red light will be continuous flashing. In this case, you should stop operating
your model as quickly as possible.
For further operation of the transmitter the rechargeable batteries are to be recharged
or new batteries must be inserted.
