Battery

Although the batteries are not included in the product, customers should take
precautionary measures when using and handling batteries.
- Your transmitter has been designed to operate using AA-size batteries. There
include 1.5 volt alkaline and rechargeable 1.2 volt Nickel Cadmium (Ni-Cd)
batteries. Do not attempt to operate the products with incompatible batteries.
- Replace all batteries of a set at the same time. New batteries should not be mixed
with used ones. Do not mix rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries. Do not
mix alkaline and Ni-Cd types of batteries. Do not mix different grades or brands of
batteries. Failure to observe these precautions may result in some batteries in a
set being driven beyond their normal exhaust point and increase their possibility
of leakage.
- Always check to be sure your batteries have been charged prior to operating the
model. Should the battery go dead while the model is operating loss of control will
occur and create a very dangerous situation.
- Ni-Cd batteries can be very dangerous when mishandled. The acidic fluid from a
Ni-Cd battery, if leaked, can cause serious injuries and chemical damages.
- In the event that battery fluid leaks onto your skin, immediately wash with soap
and plenty of water. Seek medical attention as necessary. In the event that battery
fluid comes in contact with your eyes, do not rub and immediately wash with
plenty of water. Seek medical attention immediately.
- When your R/C system is not being used, always remove or disconnect the
batteries. Should the batteries be left connected, a leakage may result or if
someone accidentally turns on either the receiver or transmitter, a dangerous
situation may be created where models operate without control.
- Always follow your battery manufacturer's directions and guidelines. Do not
attempt to disassemble, short circuit, or subject the batteries to high temperature
or fire.
- When disposing of batteries, follow the manufacturer's instructions and the
guidelines of all federal, state, and local regulations. We recommend customers to
participate in any community battery-recycling programs that may exist in your
area. Contact your local waste remover or recycler for details.

Maintenance

- To keep from damaging your transmitter or receiver, avoid exposing it to moisture,
extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, vibration and dust.
- Clean the outside of the transmitter and receiver by wiping with a clean, dry cloth.
Never use harsh or abrasive cleaners or organic solvents on the transmitter or the
receiver.
- Do not expose plastic parts to fuel, motor spray, waste oil or exhaust. These will
penetrate and damage the plastic.
- Never disassemble or touch the inside of the transmitter or the receiver. This
could result in electrical shock or static and cause damage to the electronic
components inside.
