Battery
- Ni-Cd batteries can be very dangerous when mishandled and cause chemical
damage.
- In the unlikely event that battery fluid leaks onto your skin, immediately wash
the contaminated skin with soap and plenty of water. Contact your local health
care provider.
- In the unlikely event that battery fluid leaks inside the transmitter. Contact the
PCS service center.
- When the model is not being used, always remove or disconnect the Ni-Cd Bat-
tery. Should the battery be left connected this could created a dangerous situation if someone accidentally turns on the receiver power switch. Loss of control
would occur.
- Always follow your battery manufacturer's directions fully. Do not attempt to dis-
assemble, short circuit, or subject the battery to high temperature or fire.
- Your transmitter has been designed to operate correctly using a variety of AA-size
batteries currently available. These include 1.5 volt alkaline and rechargeable 1.2
volt Nickel Cadmium (Ni-Cd) batteries.
- Replace all batteries of a set at the same time. New batteries should not be mixed
with used ones. Do not mix rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries. Do not
mix alkaline or Ni-Cd types of batteries. Do not mix different grades or brands of
batteries. Failure to observe this precaution may result in some batteries in a set
being driven beyond their normal exhaust point and increase their possibility of
leakage.
- Always check to be sure your batteries have been charged prior to operating the
model. Should the battery go dead while the model is operating loss of control will
occur and create a very dangerous situation.
- When disposing of batteries, follow the manufacturer's instructions and all feder-
al, state, and local regulations. PCS suggests customers take advantage of any
community battery-recycling programs that may exist in your area. Contact your
local waste remover or recycler for details.
Maintenance
- To keep from damaging your transmitter, avoid exposing it to moisture, extreme
temperatures, direct sunlight, vibration and dust.
- Clean the outside of the transmitter by wiping with a clean, dry cloth. Never use
harsh or abrasive cleaners or organic solvents on the transmitter.
- Do not expose plastic parts to fuel, motor spray, waste oil or exhaust. These will
penetrate and damage the plastic.
- Never disassemble or touch the inside of the transmitter. This could result in
electrical shock.
- If you notice smoke or a burning smell coming from the transmitter, immediately
turn off the transmitter, wait a few minutes until the transmitter cools, and then
remove the batteries.
