Flying Precautions
WARNING
Never grasp the built-in transmitter antenna
while ying.
■ The transmitter output may drop drastically.
Always make sure that all transmitter stick movements operate all servos properly in the model prior to flight. Also, make sure that all switches, etc. function properly as well. If there are any di󱐰culties, do not use the system until all inputs are functioning properly.　
Never y in range check mode.　
■ In the dedicated range test range check mode, the transmitter output range is reduced and may cause a crash.
While operating, never touch the transmitter with, or bring the transmitter near, another trans­mitter, a cellphone, or other wireless devices.
■ Doing so may cause erroneous operation.
Never fly on a rainy day, when the wind is
strong or at night.　
■ Water could lead to failure or improper functionality and poor control of the aircraft which could lead to a crash.
Never turn the power switch off during flight
or while the engine or motor is running.　
■ Operation will become impossible and the aircraft will crash. Even if the power switch is turned on, operation will not begin until transmitter and receiver internal process­ing is complete.
Do not start the engine or motor while wearing
the neck strap.　　
■ The neck strap may become entangled with the rotat­ing propeller, rotor, etc. and cause serious injury.
Do not y when you are physically impaired as
it could pose a safety hazard to yourself or others.
6
Do not y at the following places:　　　
■ Near another radio control ying eld.
■ Near or above people.
■ Near homes, schools, hospitals or other places where people congregate.
■ Near high voltage lines, high structures, or communi­cation facilities.
When setting the transmitter on the ground during flight preparations, do not stand it upright.
■ The transmitter may tip over, the sticks may move and the propeller or rotor may rotate unexpectedly and cause injury.
Do not touch the engine, motor, or FET amp
during and immediately after use.　　
■ These items may become hot during use.
For safety, y so that the aircraft is visible at all times.
■ Flying behind buildings or other large structures will not only cause you to lose sight of the aircraft, but also degrade the RF link performance and cause loss of control.
From the standpoint of safety, always set the fail safe function.　　　
■ In particular, normally set the throttle channel to idle.
Always check the remaining capacity of the transmitter and receiver batteries before each ying session prior to ight.　
■ Low battery capacity will cause loss of control and a crash.
Always check operation of each control surface and perform a range test before each flying session. Also, when using the trainer function, check the operation of both the teacher and student transmitter.　
■ Even one incorrect transmitter setting or aircraft abnor­mality can cause a crash.
Before turning on the transmitter:
1. Always move the transmitter throttle stick position to
the minimum (idle) position.　
2. Turn on the transmitter rst and then the receiver.
When turning off the transmitter's power switch. After the engine or motor has stopped (state in which it will not rotate again):
1. Turn o󱐯 the receiver power switch.　
2. Then turn o󱐯 the transmitter power switch.
■ If the power switch is turned on/off in the opposite order, the propeller may rotate unexpectedly and cause a serious injury.
■ Also always observe the above order when setting the fail safe function.
■ Maximum low throttle: Direction in which the engine or motor runs at the slowest speed or stops.
When adjusting the transmitter, stop the engine except when necessary. In the case of a motor, disconnect the wiring and don't allow it to continue operation. When doing so, please exercise extreme caution. Ensure that the aircraft is secured and that it will not come into contact with anything or anyone. Ensure that the motor will not rotate prior to making any adjustments.
■ Unexpected high speed rotation of the engine may cause a serious injury.
Battery and Charger Handling Precautions
DANGER
Do not recharge a battery that is damaged,
deteriorated, leaking electrolyte, or wet.　
Do not use the charger in applications other
than as intended.
Do not allow the charger or battery to become
wet.
■ Do not use the charger, when it or your hands, are wet. Do not use the charger in humid places. 　　　
Do not short circuit the battery.　　 Do not solder, repair, deform, modify, or disas-
semble the battery and/or battery charger.
Do not drop the battery into a fire or bring it
near a re.　　　
Do not charge and store the battery in direct
sunlight or other hot places.　　　
Do not charge the battery if it is covered with
any object as it may become very hot.
Do not use the battery in a combustible envi-
ronment.　
■ The combustibles may ignite and cause an explosion or re.
Always charge the battery before each flying
session.　
■ If the battery goes dead during ight, the aircraft will crash.
Always use the charger with the specified power supply voltage.
■ Use the special charger by connecting it to a proper power outlet.
If the battery liquid should get in your eyes, do not rub your eyes, but immediately wash them with tap water or other clean water and get treated by a doctor.
■ The liquid can cause blindness. 　
7
WARNING
Do not touch the charger and battery for any
length of time during charging.　
■ Doing so may result in burns. 　　　
Do not use a charger or battery that has been
damaged.　　
If any abnormalities such as smoke or discoloration are noted with either the charger or the battery, remove the battery from the charger and disconnect the power cord plug and do not use the charger.　
■ Continued use may cause re, combustion, generation of heat, or rupture.
Do not subject the batteries to impact.
■ Doing so may cause fire, combustion, generation of heat, rupture, or liquid leakage.
CAUTION
If the battery leaks liquid or generates an abnormal odor, immediately move it to a safe place for disposal.
■ Not doing so may cause combustion.
If the battery liquid gets on your skin or clothing, immediately flush the area with tap water or other clean water.
■ Consult a doctor. The liquid can cause skin damage.
After the specified charging time has elapsed, end charging and disconnect the charger from the receptacle.　
When recycling or disposing of the battery, isolate the terminals by covering them with cellophane tape.
■ Short circuit of the terminals may cause combustion, generation of heat or rupture.
Do not place heavy objects on top of the battery or charger. Also, do not place the battery or charger in any location where it may fall.　　　
■ Doing so may cause damage or injury.
Do not store or use the battery and charger where it is dusty or humid.　
■ Insert the power cord plug into the receptacle only after eliminating the dust.
Storage and Disposal Precautions
CAUTION
Do not store wireless devices in the following
places:　
・ Where it is extremely hot (40℃ [104F] or higher) or
cold (-10℃ [14F] or lower)
・ Where the equipment will be exposed to direct sun-
light ・ Where the humidity is high ・ Where vibration is prevalent ・ Where it is very dusty ・ Where the device may be exposed to steam and heat
Other Precautions
CAUTION
Do not directly expose plastic parts to fuel, oil,
exhaust gas, etc.　
■ If left in such an environment, the plastic may be dam­aged.
■ Since the metal parts of the case may corrode, always keep them clean.
Join the Academy of Model Aeronautics.　
■ The Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) provides guidelines and liability protection should the need arise.
Do not charge the battery in extreme temperatures.
■ Doing so will degrade the battery performance. An ambient temperature of 10℃ to 30℃ (50 ℉ to 86 ℉ ) is ideal for charging.
Unplug the charger when not in use.　
Do not bend or pull the cord unreasonably and
do not place heavy objects on the cord.
■ The power cord may be damaged and cause combus­tion, generation of heat, or electric shock.
When the device will not be used for a long time, remove the battery from the transmitter and aircraft and store them in a dry place where the temperature is between 0 and 30℃ [32F and 86F].　
■ When left 'as is', batteries may deteriorate, leak, or be otherwise damaged.
Always use genuine Futaba products such as transmitter, receiver, servo, FET amplier, battery, etc.　
■ Futaba is not responsible for damage sustained by combination with parts other than Futaba Genuine Parts. Use the parts specified in the instruction manual and catalog.
