1
While pressing the two points on the transmitter’s
battery cover, remove it in the direction of the arrow.
Battery Replacement Method
Load the four batteries in accordance with the polarity markings on the battery holder.
Disposal of the Dry Cell Batteries:
The method to dispose of used dry cell batteries depends on the area
in which you reside. Dispose of the batteries in accordance with the
regulations for your area.
Caution
When running (cruising), do not use the dry cell battery box at the transmitter.
The accessory dry cell battery box is for performance checks. Do not use it for other than performance checks. The dry
cell batteries will be separated from the battery box contacts by shock and the power may be cut off. There is the danger
of collision if the power is cut while running (cruising). The use of Futaba genuine NiMH or LiFe batteries is strongly rec-
ommended.
Low Battery Alarm
If the transmitter battery voltage drops below the usable range, an audible alarm will sound
and
"
Low battery
"
will be displayed (For details, see page 190). Since the usable range of
NiMH batteries and LiFe batteries is different, the power supply used must be set by system
setting (page 180). If the battery goes dead while running (cruising), since there is the dan-
ger of collision, immediately recover the vehicle (boat) and stop running (cruising).
Warning
When a low battery alarm is generated, cease operation immediately and retrieve the model.
If the battery goes dead while in operation, you will lose control of the model.
While holding down these two points, remove
the battery cover in the direction of the arrow.

Load the new AA size batteries. Pay very close at-
tention to the polarity markings and reinsert accord-
ingly.

Slide the battery cover back onto the case.
