center-pin negative. This is opposite of many
chargers.Beforeusingacharger,makesure
the connector is center-pin negative. This
canbedoneusingavoltmeter.Also,unlike
conventionalradiosystemsthatuse8cellsto
power the transmitter, the DX3E uses 4 cells.
This is due to the electronics being more
efficient. When charging, be sure to use a
chargerdesignedfor4cells(a4.8-voltbattery
pack) when charging the transmitter. Many
drivers simply make a harness and use the
same charger used to charge their car packs
butturnthecurrentratedownto1to2amps.
Warning: Charge only rechargeable batteries. Non-
rechargeable batteries may burst causing injury to
persons and/or damage to property.
