HITEC Neon SS - Manual (Page 4)

Hitec offers the NEON in several versions, some complete with rechargeable transmitter batteries and some
"dry" using "alkaline" (non-rechargeable) batteries. Should your system come "dry", consider the option of
adding individual NiCad cells to your battery holder or replacing the battery holder with the optional Hitec
NiCad battery pack, part number 58207. Both packs can be charged with Hitec's overnight wall chargers
as noted above.
Reading the LED Battery Indicators
There are three indicator lights on the face of the radio marked High (green), Mid (amber) and Low (red).
These relate to the condition of your transmitter battery. Please pay attention to these LEDs and stop flying when
the red "Low" light is on.

Installing Transmitter Batteries
The Deluxe NEON version transmitter is supplied with rechargeable Nicad batteries.
Before using the radio, plug the supplied 110V. CG-25 or 220V. CG-22A overnight wall charger into a normal
household AC wall socket. There are two leads on the CG-25 or CG-22A, the round one plugs into the socket
on the lower left side of the transmitter. The green light on the CG-25 or CG-22A should glow, confirming
charging is taking place; leave it on charge for at least 18 hours. Once fully charged, the transmitter should
operate for about 120 minutes. Typically you will charge the radio up overnight before flying the next day.
Do not leave the radio connected to the wall charger for over 36 hours or permanent damage to the transmitter
battery pack may occur.
To install or change the batteries in your NEON
Split the case as described in section 4, Set-up and Operation on page 3,
Remove the battery holder.
Install batteries as shown in image.
Reinstall the battery holder.
Note:The NEON transmitter charging circuitry uses a Diode.
This means Hitec cannot recommend the use of "peak" chargers
to charge your NiCad pack within the NEON case.
