But if the battery has not be used for some time, charge it for about 20 hours. (If the battery is left in the discharged state for a long time, its capacity and life will be adversely affected. ) ·The transmitter and receiver NiCd batteries can be charged simultaneously, or independently. ·The battery can usually be used about 10 times at a rate of about 10 minutes/time. Pull the first stage of the antenna up and turn it counterclockwise until it locks as shown in Fig. ·If the antenna is not locked, it will not be connected to the internal circuitry. ·The power switch is a lock type switch. When it is set to ON while pulling it forward, the level meter pointer will deflect, indicating the antenna output. The transmitter is OK if the pointer deflects to graduation 7 with the antenna extended fully. The pointer indication is different when the antenna is contracted and when it is extended fully. [The pointer indication will also be different when the antenna is grasped with your hand and when it is not grasped. ) When the antenna is contracted, the transmitter does not deliver an output even though the level meter pointer deflects. DO NOT USE THE TRANSMITTER UNDER THIS STATE. The level meter pointer will indicate the battery voltage at this time. The battery is OK if the meter pointer deflects to within the green zone. If the pointer deflects to near the boundary between the green and red zones, recharge the battery. function The servos can be operated without transmitting by connecting the D. S. C. cord furnished with the set to the connector (Fig. 1 ) of the transmitter and the C terminal of the receiver. This allows adjustment of the aircraft while awaiting your turn to fly. (Use this function with the power switch of the transmitter set to the OFF position. Function will be operative when the power switch is set to ON, it will be meaningless. ) ·Using dual travel (DR --aileron, DR --elevator) When the dual travel switch is set to ON, the steering angle becomes small (within the range indicated by the hatched lines in Fig. The steering angle can be varied from 40% (minimum) to 100% (maximum) of the total steering angle by adjusting the trimmer on the trimmer panel for channel 8) next to the switch with a screwdriver. The dual switch should normally be set to OFF. [. . . ] ·When used in seaplanes and boats, pay careful attention to waterproofing. The servos are waterproof, but the receiver, connectors, and NiCd battery are not. Place these components in a vinyl bag and amply waterproof the entire mechanism chamber.
