Before you turn on the power switch on the transmitter, always check to see that the
trigger is at the neutral position. Always turn the transmitter on first, then the receiver.

tric motor disconnected.
If the engine is running or the motor is connected while adjustments are made, the

being used.
Should you accidentally leave the receiver switch on, the model could run out of control.

Storage and Disposal Safety Precautions

Warning
(When using a Ni-cad battery to power your system)
At the end of a day's operation, store the system with Ni-cad battery discharged. Be
sure to recharge the system before it is used again.
You should fully discharge your system's batteries periodically to prevent a condition
called "memory". For example, if you only make two runs in a day or you regularly use
a small amount of battery's capacity, the memory effect can reduce the actual capacity
even if the battery is charged for the recommended amount of time.
Prohibited
Do not throw a Ni-cad battery into a fire. Do not disassemble or attempt to repair a Ni-
cad battery pack.
Overheating, damage and acid leakage may lead to burns, loss of eye sight as well as
numerous other types of injuries. The electrolyte in Ni-cad batteries is a strong alkali.
Should you get even the smallest amount of the electrolyte in your eyes, Do Not rub,
wash immediately with water, and seek medical attention at once. The electrolyte can
cause blindness. If electrolyte comes in contact with your skin or clothes, wash with
water immediately.
