CHARGING THE Ni-Cd BATTERIES

The transmitter and receiver batteries included with your 6EXHP system are rechargeable, Ni-Cd (nickel-cadmium, pronounced

ni-kad) batteries. Ni-Cd batteries require special care and charging.

Read the charging instructionscarefully.

NOTE: The batteries are supplied partially charged, but will require a full, overnight charge before the model may be ﬂown.

1. Connect the

transmitter charging cord coming from the A/C wall charger to the charge jack in the right side of the

transmitter case. The receiver charging cord may be connected to the batteries two different ways: The charge cord may be

connected directly to the battery pack, or to the vacant charge connector (black) coming from the on/off switch in the model.

Charging “through the switch” is preferred as there will be no need to disconnect the battery.

2. Plug the A/C wall charger into a wall outlet.

Note: If the wall outlet can be turned off by a switch in the room, be certain the

switch remains on after leaving the room. Otherwise, the batteries will not be charged!

3. The LEDs (light-emitting diodes) should light red, indicating that current is ﬂowing and the batteries are being charged.

Discharged batteries will take about 15 hours to fully charge. If using an aftermarket fast charger,

be certain to follow

the manufacturer’s instructions provided with the charger so you do not overcharge the batteries. NEVER charge

the batteries at a rate higher than 1,000mAh. The batteries should also be discharged periodically to prevent a condition
