b. Reading the LED Battery Indicators

- Normal: Green
- Warning: Flashing Red

With new alkaline or freshly charged nicads the Green light should be brightly lit; as the green light starts
to fade the Red will begin to illuminate and eventually light completely as the green light goes out. Once
this occurs, operation should be stopped immediately, and the batteries should be recharged or replaced.
(Warning: Recharge Nicds batteries only. Alkaline batteries can not be recharged)

c. Recharging Nicd Batteries

The Lynx Sport is equipped with an external-charging jack so there is no need to remove the batteries from
the transmitter to charge them. The Hitec CG-22 or CG-25A charger can be used to charge the batteries
overnight, or for approximately 12~15 hours.

d. Transmitter Antenna

Always make sure your antenna is attached and fully extended before use otherwise your operating range
will be greatly reduced and could result in damage to your vehicle and or injuries to yourself and others.

e. Changing Crystals

Changing crystals to avoid conflicts with other vehicles is possible where permitted. (You must check your local
rules before doing so. For example in the US the FCC prohibits the changing of transmitter crystals on 75MHz).
If you are eligible to change crystals, both the transmitter and receiver crystals must be changed together.
You must change within the same band; i.e. 75MHz to 75MHz, 27MHz to 27MHz, different bands can not be
intermixed, if your radio is on 75MHz then 27MHz crystals cannot be used. Use only Hitec crystals when
changing frequencies.
