Transmitter Battery Information
Your Aurora 9X transmitter is supplied with a rechargeable, 6 cell, AA size,
Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery pack with a nominal voltage of 7.2V.
Charging Method (CG-SXX series charger)
The preferred charging method is to use the supplied CG-SXX overnight wall charger. Plug it into the port as shown in the diagram. Note
the red “charging in process light” on the CG-SXX overnight wall charger. This light will turn green when charging is complete. The battery
can be removed from the radio and charged with a “quick” charger. The recommended charge rate should be no more than 2 Amps.
Do not install a Li-Po in the Aurora 9X and then try and charge it with the supplied CG-XX overnight wall charger.

Power Meter
There are two ways to review the battery voltage on the Aurora 9X home screen. A “direct voltage read out”, and a “percentage of
available power” graph can be displayed by touching the power icon on the main menu.
The Li-Po Option
The user has the option to power the Aurora 9X with a 2S Li-Po 7.4 voltage battery, but accepts full responsibility to do so safely. Also you
must change the “battery type” on the menu properly.
* Warning: During the Aurora 9X's charging process, turn off the transmitter power
