For your safety by handling the battery
CAUTION
Protect all equipment from dust, dirt, moisture. Only use in dry
locations.
Do not use any damaged battery. Risk of injury!
Any alterations to the battery can cause serious injury. Risk of
fire!
Batteries may not be heated, burned, short-circuited or charged
with excessive current or with reversed polarity.
While they are being charged, the batteries must be placed on a
non-flammable, heat-resistant and non-conductive surface.
Combustible or highly flammable objects are to be kept away
from the charging area. Batteries must be monitored while they
are being charged.
The maximum quick charging current specified for the respec-
tive cell type may not be exceeded.
If the battery heats up above 60°C while it is being charged, stop
charging and let the battery cool down to approximately 30 40°C.
Never charge batteries that have already been charged, are hot
or are not fully discharged. If a cell in a battery pack has become
particularly hot following a quick-charge process, this may indicate a defect in that cell. Do not use the battey pack any more!
The batteries must not be modified. Do not directly solder or
weld the cells.
If handled improperly, there is a danger of fire, explosion, irrita-
tion and burns. To extinguish a fire use: water, CO
Leaked electrolyte is caustic and should not be touched or come
into contact with your eyes. In case of emergency, rinse with a
large quantity of water and consult a Med. Doctor.

Special instructions
To charge and discharge batteries, only use specifically designed
chargers/dischargers with balancer connector.
The white connector (cell count + 1 pole) is designed for the con-
nection to a LiPo balancer or a battery charger as a single cell
charger with a manual cell balancer. Always charge the battery
with the balancer connector.
Safety notes for stocking batteries
Batteries may only be stored in non completely discharged con-
dition.
Batteries may only be stored in dry rooms with an ambient tem-
perature of +5°C to +25°C.
Stock the LiPo batteries with a cell voltage of about 3,8V. If the
cell voltage falls below 3 V, then the battery must be necessarily
charged. Deep discharge and storage in discharge status (cell
voltage < 3V) make the battery useless.
Charge and transport your batteries always in a safety bag.

Connections and fixtures
Attaching the transmitter neck-strap
On the upper side of the transmitter there is an eyelet which can be
used to hook a neck-strap.
Jack socket
The port for a 3,5 mm jack is located on the back of the transmitter.
Depending on the settings in the menu (OHRH or DSC) this interface
can be used as a earphone port or as a DSC cable port.
Ear phones port
Though this interface both acoustic signals and voice messages are
emitted.
The volume can be controlled by "Voice volume" and "Signal volume" in the general settings.
DSC connection
Through a DSC cable the port can serve to use the transmitter with
a simulator o to connect it with another one in Teacher/pupil mode.
Switch the DSC mode in the "General settings menu". In this way you
can change the base display too. Right in the display appears "DSC".
Data socket
To ensure a correct DSC connection, observe the following:
1. Perform any necessary adaptations in the menu.
2. When using the transmitter with a flight simulator or during the
teacher-pupil operation, set the On/Off switch always on the "Off"
position. Connect one end of the DSC cable in the DSC port of the
transmitter.
3. Switch the transmitter on.
ATTENTION
When your transmitter is directly connected to a desktop computer
by a connecting cable (DSC cable) and/or a computer interface is
connected to your simulator, the transmitter may be destroyed
by electrostatic discharge. This type of connection should therefore
only be used if you protect yourself from electrostatic discharge
while operating the simulator by wearing a commercially available
grounding armband. Graupner therefore strongly recommends
only using wireless simulators.
The lower pins are suitable for connection of a smart box or an external bluetooth module.
