c) Charging Rechargeable Batteries in the Transmitter
For operation with rechargeable batteries you can con-
nect a charging cable (not included in the supply) to the
charging socket (1) and charge the rechargeable batte-
ries in the transmitter when the transmitter is switched
off.
Always make sure the polarity of the connecting plug is
correct. The inner contact of the charging socket must
beconnectedtotheplusterminal(+)andtheoutercon-
tact to the minus terminal (-) of the charger.
The charging current should be about 1/10 of the capa-
city of the inserted rechargeable batteries.
For rechargeable batteries with a capacity of 2000 mAh,
this corresponds to a charging current of approx. 200 mA
and charging time takes approx. 14 h.
Only connect the charger when you have inserted rechargeable batteries (1.2 V/cell) in the transmitter.
Nevertrytorechargebatteries(1.5V/cell)withthecharger;thereisadangerofexplosionandofre!
In order to avoid damage to internal printed conductors and connections, please do not use quick char-
gers.

charging current in order to measure the voltage of the rechargeable battery. In this case, remove the
rechargeable batteries from the transmitter for charging.
d) Switching on the Transmitter
Whennewbatteriesorfreshlychargedrechargeablebatterieshavebeeninserted,checkthepositionatthetoggle
switches.Allswitchesmustbeinthefrontposition„0“.Thecontrolsticksforthepitchfunction(seegure1,item14)
must be pushed to the bottom-most position.
Thenturnonthetransmitterwiththeon/offswitch(seegure1,item9).Forthis,pushtheswitchfromthelower
position„OFF“totheupperposition„ON“.ThegreenLEDdisplay(seegure1,item11)indicatesthepowersupply
of the transmitter.
Ifthepowersupplyisnotsufcientanymoreforfaultlessoperation,thegreenLEDdisplaystartsashingred.Inthis
case, stop operation of your model as quickly as possible. To continue operating the transmitter, recharge the batteries
or insert new batteries.
Only connect the charger when the batteries have been discharged completely to avoid the memory effect in NiCd
batteries.
 IftheLEDdisplayislitgreenafterswitchingonandashesredevery4seconds,thetoggleswitchforthe3D

IftheLEDdisplayickersredafterabrieftime,theswitchforthebindingfunction(seegure1,item12)mayhave
been pushed by accident. In this case, switch off the transmitter without delay, deactivate the switch and then take
the transmitter into operation again.
