Replacing the Battery
Replace the battery as follows:
1 Loosen the 2 retaining screws for the battery
cover on the back of the transmitter.
2 Open the battery cover.
3 Unplug the connector that connects the battery
lead wire and the extension lead wire.
4 Pull out the battery.
5 Insert the charged battery in such a way that its
lead wire is on your left hand side.
6 Connect the battery lead wire and the extension
lead wire.
7 Leave some slack in the extension lead wire.
8 Close the battery cover, being careful not to
pinch the battery lead wire or the extension lead
wire.
Do not grip the battery unit and pull it out.
This could break the battery lead wire.
TIP
G Orient the connector to match up the col-
ors of the wires.
G Do not remove the connector between the
flight transmitter and the extension lead
wire.
G After replacing the battery, turn ON the
power of the flight transmitter, and gently
jiggle the wires (connector) to make sure
there is no break in the current.
G Batteries are consumables, and their dura-
tion of use decreases with each recharge
cycle.
G The battery and the extension lead wire
should be replaced once a year. To protect
the environment, take the old battery to
your dealer to ensure proper recycling.
G If rust forms on any part of the connectors,
consult with your dealer, as it could lead to
poor connection.
Storing the Battery
TIP
Especially during long-term storage (1 month

location with a temperature of –20 to 30 °C.
