Other Precautions - FUTABA T4PM Instruction Manual

When the system will not be used for any length of time, store the system with NiMH / NiCd batteries in a
discharged state. Be sure to recharge the batteries prior to the next time the system is used.
If the batteries are repeatedly recharged in a slightly discharged state, the memory effect of the NiMH / NiCd battery may consider-
ably reduce the capacity. A reduction in operating time will occur even when the batteries are charged for the recommended time. (After
discharge to 1cell E.V.=1V)
When a LiFe battery pack will not be used for a long time, to prevent it from deteriorating we recommend
that it be kept in about the half capacity state instead of fully charged. Also be careful that the battery does
not enter the over-discharged state due to self-discharge.
Periodically (about every 3 months) charge the battery.
Warning
Do not store your R/C system in the following places.
- Where it is extremely hot or cold.
- Where the system will be exposed to direct sunlight.
- Where the humidity is high.
- Where vibration is prevalent.
- Where dust is prevalent.
- Where the system would be exposed to steam and condensation.
Storing your R/C system under adverse conditions could cause deformation and numerous problems with operation.
If the system will not be used for a long period of time, remove the batteries from the transmitter and model
and store in a cool, dry place.
If the batteries are left in the transmitter, electrolyte may leak and damage the transmitter. This applies to the model also. Remove the
batteries from it also to prevent damage.
<NiMH/NiCd Battery Electrolyte>
The electrolyte in NiCd / NiMH batteries is a strong alkali. Should you get even the smallest amount of the electrolyte in

Caution
Do not expose plastic parts to fuel, motor spray, waste oil or exhaust.
The fuel, motor spray, waste oil and exhaust will penetrate and damage the plastic.
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 in-
struction manual and catalog.
