Carefully lift the airplane from the cradle and set it aside, taking
care not to put excess pressure on the aileron control horns.
Remove the other components from the cradle. The transmitter
will lift easily out of its pocket if you slide it straight up by
pushing from the back.
LITHIUM BATTERY HANDLING & USAGE
ONLY
use a LiPo approved charger.
NEVER
use a NiCd/NiMH
peak charger to charge a LiPo battery.
NEVER
charge in excess of 4.20V per cell.
ONLY
charge through the “charge” lead.
NEVER
charge
through the “discharge” lead.
NEVER
charge at currents greater than 1C unless the battery
is rated for a higher charge rate.
ALWAYS
set the charger’s output volts to match the battery
volts.
ALWAYS
charge in a fi reproof location.
NEVER
trickle charge.
NEVER
allow the battery temperature to exceed 150 degrees
F (65 degrees C).
NEVER
disassemble or modify the pack wiring in any way or
puncture the cells.
NEVER
discharge below 2.5V per cell.
NEVER
place the battery or charger on combustible materials
or leave it unattended during charge or discharge.
ALWAYS
KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.
NEVER
charge the battery in the plane.
ALWAYS
remove the battery from the plane after a crash. Set
it aside in a safe location for at least 20 minutes. If the battery
is damaged in the crash it could catch fi re.
If the battery starts to swell, quickly move the battery to a safe
location, preferably outside. Place it in a bucket, covering the
battery with sand. Never use water to try and put out a LiPo fi re.
