Charge the Batteries
Before we dive into the use of the Optic 5 2.4, let's charge the batteries.
Connect the transmitter charging cord to the transmitter's charging socket
(on the rear of the case, left side).
If your aircraft uses a receiver battery, connect it to the receiver connector on the charging cord.
Plug the charger into a wall socket.
The charger's LEDs should light, indicating charging is in progress.
If either light does not turn on, verify that the transmitter and receiver power switches are OFF.
The batteries should be left on charge for about 15 hours.
Try to charge the batteries with the charger supplied with your system exclusively.
The use of a fast-charger may damage the batteries by overheating and dramatically reduce their
lifetime.
Note
If you need to remove or replace the transmitter battery, do not pull on its wires to remove it.
Instead, gently pull on the connector's plastic housing where it plugs in to the transmitter.
The battery must be removed to charge it properly with a "peak" charger.
Be careful if you do choose to use a field charger on your batteries.
A fast-charger may overcharge the batteries, causing overheating and a premature failure. Never
charge your transmitter or receiver battery at a rate higher than the batteries capacity.
For example, the capacity of your Optic 6 Sport's 7.2 volt NIMH battery is 1300mAh and, therefore,
should not be charged at a rate any higher than 1.3 amps.
Caution: Stop flying and bring back your aircraft and land at once, when your transmitter start beeps
for low battery warning. (L.B.W. activates when battery level hits below 6.6V)
A training cable may be used to help a beginning pilot learn to fly safer by allowing a second
transmitter, operated by an experienced instructor, to be connected to the Optic 6 Sport 2.4 transmitter.
The instructor may override the beginner at any time to bring the model back under safe control. For
training, the transmitter may be connected to another Hitec 2.4GHz system using the Hitec cord
part
(between 6 cell transmitter battery systems) or

To use the trainer system between STEREO Jack Transmitter and STEREO Jack Transmitter
(Needs #58320 between 6 cell Battery Radios)
1) Set up both the student's and instructor's transmitter to have identical trim and control motions.
