ing it in the direction of the arrow in the figure.
2
Remove the used batteries.

Caution
Never try to recharge a dry cell battery.
The transmitter may be damaged or the battery electrolyte may leak or the battery may break.
Insert the batteries in the correct polarity.
If the polarity is incorrect, the transmitter may be damaged.
When the transmitter is not in use, remove the batteries.
If the battery electrolyte leaks, wipe off the case and contacts.
Do not use commercial AA size NiCd and NiMH batteries.
Quick charging may cause the battery contacts to overheat and damage the battery
holder.

Low Battery Alarm

If the transmitter battery voltage drops below the usable range, an audible alarm will sound
and " " mark will be displayed on the LCD screen. (For details, see page 130.) Because
the low battery alarm voltage of a dry cell battery is different from that of a rechargeable
battery pack (genuine Futaba option), the type of power source used must be selected using
the system setting (page 123).
Warning
When a low battery alarm is generated, cease operation immediately and retrieve the model.
If the battery goes dead while in operation, you will lose control of the model.
