Preparing for Flight
1. Install the transmitter batteries. Remove the transmitter battery cover and
insert the four AA alkaline cells, making sure to observe the correct polarity.
For guidance the cell orientation is indicated inside the battery box.
2. Charging the ight battery. You must charge the included 70mAh 1-cell /
1S 3.7V 10C LiPo battery (AZSB1803) using the LiPo battery charger built
into the supplied micro 4-channel airplane transmitter w/100mA charger
(AZSA1838) or a suitably compatible LiPo battery charger. Charging the
LiPo battery using an incompatible LiPo battery charger (such as a NiCd
or NiMH battery charger), or even a different LiPo battery charger with the
incorrect settings, may result in damage to the battery or even re, resulting
in property damage and / or personal injury.
Please follow these steps to charge the LiPo ight battery with the charger
built into the Supplied AZSA1838 Hitec Red 4-channel transmitter:
• Carefully open the small hatch located near the bottom left-hand corner of
the transmitter and extend the charge lead outside of the transmitter case.
You can leave the hatch open or close it by routing the charge lead through
the small cut-out / opening in the hatch door.
• Attach the battery to the connector at the end of the charge lead extending
from the transmitter. YOU MUST BE CAREFUL TO ENSURE PROPER
POLARITY BEFORE MAKING THE CONNECTION by aligning the small red
circle marking on the housing of the battery with the small red circle
marking on the charge lead connector. While these ultra-micro connectors
are keyed to minimize the risk of a reverse polarity connection, if you
force them it is possible to make connection with the incorrect polarity,
potentially causing damage to the battery and/or charger (transmitter).
When the circle markings are properly aligned for correct polarity, joining
the connectors should require only a minimal amount of pressure to
achieve the light ‘click’ that indicates a secure connection.
