Page 6: Safety Precautions
Please adjust the receiver settings on the transmitter according to the servo you are using and its operating mode (UR/SR/digi- tal/analog). (For each channel) If the settings are not correct, it may damage the servo, battery, etc.. Please use Futaba genuine products as Futaba won't cover the damage caused by using other brand servos or peripherals such as extension cable, etc..
Page 7: Operation Precautions
Never plug the charger into an outlet of other than the indicated voltage. Never insert or remove the charger while your hands are wet. You may get an electric shock. Do not use the T6PV transmitterʼs battery as the receiverʼs battery. Since the transmitter’s battery has an overload protection circuit, the output power will be shut down when the high current load is applied. This may result in runaway or fatal crash.
Page 8: Storage And Disposal Precautions
A used battery is a valuable resource. Insulate the battery terminals and dispose of the battery by taking it to a battery recycling center. Other Precautions 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.
