    Do not throw NiMH/NiCd/LiFe 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 in- juries. 4PV-Eng-03-Safety-P8-11.indd 2016/07/28 10:05:16...

  • Page 11: Other Precautions

    Always use only genuine Futaba transmitters, receivers, servos, ESCs (electronic speed controls), NiMH/NiCd/LiFe batteries and other optional accessories. Futaba will not be responsible for problems caused by the use of other than genuine Futaba parts. Use the parts specified in the instruction manual and catalog.

    The internal cable may be damaged; thus transmitting distance decreases and it may cause malfunction. A small glitch may occur if the transmitter antenna is brought close to servos, ESCs or other peripheral devices. This is not a serious issue, but keep it in mind (especially dur- ing setup). 4PV-Eng-04-Before-P12-28.indd 2016/08/02 9:06:12...
