Model Battery Care
Transmitter Battery Care
A rechargeable battery has been built in to the main body of the
model. Using the battery incorrectly will cause it to leak, rupture
or ignite. Follow these precautions:
·
If your R/C MicroSizers PowerBrutes has been unused f or a long
period or you are charging its built-in battery for the first time,
the battery may not charge to full capacity. This does not
indicate battery failure. Recharging and running the model 4 or
5 times will gradually lengthen run times.
·
Fully discharge the battery by running the truck before recharging.
·
Charge the battery only when the truck is NOT running. T o pre vent
overcharging, never recharge a batter y which has already been
fully charged. This will not increase running speed.
·
Recharge the battery only with the transmitter's built-in charger.
·
If the chassis becomes warm, let it cool before running again.
This product uses a NiCd battery. NiCd batteries are recyclable,
and a valuable resource.To dispose of the battery, remove it and
take it to a recycling center.
Always use AA alkaline batteries. If improper batteries are used
in the transmitter, they may become hot, leak and may rupture.
Follow these precautions:
·
Never use rechargeable batteries, such as NiCds, in
the transmitter.
·
Do not mix different types of batteries, or old and new batteries.
·
When changing batteries, replace ALL of the old batteries with
new ones.
·
Make sure the batteries are installed with the correct polarity
as shown in the battery compartment.
·
Do not charge or disassemble your transmitter batteries.Never
allow them to become hot or to burn. To avoid shor t-circuits,
avoid getting them wet.
·
If liquid from inside the batteries contacts your skin or clothes,
wash them with water .If leaked battery fluid gets into your eyes,
flush them immediately with cool water and seek medical
attention. Do not rub eyes.
·
You can race about 50 times with new AA alkaline batteries.
