4. Recharging Batteries

- Connect the included Hitec CG-22A overnight wall charger to the transmitter
charging jack located at the back of the transmitter.
- Note: If the charger is properly hooked up to the transmitter, the red light on the charger
will be lit while charging. If the red light does not glow, check the connection or the battery.
- The CG-22A can also charge a 4 cell Nicad receiver battery through the
second output pigtail connected to the switch harness.
- Note: If the charger is properly hooked up to the receiver battery, the green light on the charger
will be lit while charging. If the green light does not glow, check the connection or the battery.
- A full charge on the supplied transmitter Nicad battery pack will take 12-16 hours.
- Warning: Do not attempt to charge alkaline batteries or they may explode.

Gas/Nitro Car Installation
A) Receiver
- HIS-03MK single conversion.
- You can use a separate receiver 4.8v - 6V battery pack if required for your particular model.
This battery is typically only used with a gas or nitro powered vehicle to supply power to the receiver.
Connect as shown.
- Note: If using an electronic speed control, it will supply the power to the
receiver through the connector plugged into channel #2.
- Be aware you should keep your receiver antenna at least 2" away from
any power wires to prevent potential interference.
- Route the antenna up an antenna tube as typically shown in your vehicles instructions.
- Warning: Be sure not to cut off any excess antenna wire, as it will shorten your operating range.
B) Servos
- The HS-325HB Karbonite gear, ball bearing servo is only include with the standard version systems.
Other sytems come without servos.
- Note: Always use the proper servo for your application. Using a servo that is not powerful enough
can damage it and your vehicle could potentially go out of control.
- When installing the servos, refer to the manual of the vehicle for proper installation.
- Once your servos are correctly installed, make sure they are properly centered. To do this,
remove the servo horns, turn on your transmitter, then switch on the power to your receiver.
- Note: Remember; always turn your transmitter on first and off last. Failure to do so may result in
loss of control and damage to your servos and/or linkage.
- Now that the power is on check that the servos are working properly.
- Center the trims and sub-trims, and then replace the horns so that they are centered.
- Be aware they may not be perfectly centered; this is OK, just get them as close as possible,
and then use the trims or sub-trims for fine-tuning.
C) Battery
- The optional AA receiver battery holder should be used in a non-electric vehicle requiring two servos.
- Connect the optional AA receiver battery holder to the power switch supplied or use an optional
4-5 cell Nicad or NiMh pack to the optional #57215S power switch, and then plug the switch harness
into the "Batt" channel of the receiver for power.(See illustration)
- You will not need this battery if you are using an electric car with an electronic or mechanical
speed control with BEC.
Ok! Now let's get to the programming!
