Caution

High Response System (H.R.S) Precautions

Mandatory Procedures

For Your Safety As Well As That Of Others

Operation Precautions

Warning

Prohibited Procedures

Do not operate two or more models

on the same frequency at the same

time.

Operating two or more models at same time on the

same frequency will cause interference and loss of

control of both models.

AM, FM (PPM) and PCM are different methods

of modulation. Nonetheless the same frequency

can not be used at the same point in time, regard-

less of the signal format.

Do not operate outdoors on rainy

days , run through puddles of water or

when visibility is limited.

Should any type of moisture (water or snow) enter any

compoent of the system, erratic opreation and loss of

control may occur.

Do not operate in the following

places.

-Near other sites where other radio control

activity may occur.

-Near people or roads.

-On any pond when rowboats are present.

-Near high tension power lines or communi-

cation broadcasting antennas.

Interference could cause loss of control . Improper in-

stallation of your Radio Control System in your model

could result in serious injury.

Do not operate this R/C system when

you are tired, not feeling well or under

the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Your judgment is impaired and could result in a dan-

gerous situation that may cause serious injury to

yourself as well as others.

Mandatory Procedures

Extend the transmit-

ter antenna to its full

length.

If the transmitter antenna is not

fully extended the operating

range of the radio will be re-

duced.

Check the transmitter antenna to be

sure it is not loose.

If the transmitter antenna works loose, or is discon-

nected while the model is running signal transmission

will be lost. This will cause you to lose control of the

model..

Always perform a operating range

check prior to use.

Problems with the radio control system as well as im-

proper installation in a model could cause loss of con-

trol.

(Simple range test method)

Have a friend hold the model, or clamp it down or

place it where the wheels or prop can not come in

contact with any object. Walk away and check to

see if the servos follow the movement of the con-

trols on the transmitter. Should you notice any ab-

normal operation, Do not operate the model. Also

check to be sure the model memory matches the

model in use.

Caution

Prohibited Procedures

Mandatory Procedures

Do not touch the engine, motor, speed control or any part of

the model that will generate heat while the model is operating

or immediately after its use.

These parts may be very hot and can cause serious burns.

Turning on the power switches.

Always check the throttle trigger on the

transmitter to be sure it is at the neutral

position.

1. Turn on the transmitter power switch.

2. Turn on the receiver or speed control

power switch.

Turning off the power switches

Always be sure the engine is not

running or the motor is stopped.

1. Turn off the receiver or speed control power switch.

2. Then turn off the transmitter power switch.

If the power switches are turned off in the opposite

order the model may unexpectedly run out of control

and cause a very dangerous situation.

When making adjustments to

the model do so with the en-

gine not running or the motor

disconnected.

You may unexpectedly lose control and

create a dangerous situation.

When operating your model

always display a frequency

flag on your transmitter an-

tenna.

When adjusting the transmitter on land while preparing to run (cruise), take measures

so that the wind will not knock over the transmitter.

If the transmitter is knocked over, the throttle stick may be accidentally set to the operating position and you may

lose control.

(Fail safe function) ---H.R.S or PCM mode only

Before running (cruising), check the fail safe function.

Check Method;

Before starting the engine, check the fail safe function as follows:

1) Turn on the transmitter and receiver power switches.

2) Wait at least one minute, then turn off the transmitter power switch. (The transmitter automatically transfers the fail

safe data to the receiver every minute.)

3) Check if the fail safe function moves the servos to the preset position when reception fails.

The fail safe function is a safety feature that minimizes set damage by moving the servos to a preset position when

reception fails. However, if set to a dangerous position, it has the opposite effect. When the reverse function was used

to change the operating direction of a servo, the fail safe function must be reset.

Nicad Battery Handling Precautions

(Only when Nicad batteries are used)

Warning

Mandatory Procedures

Always check to be sure your batter-

ies have been charged prior to oper-

ating the model.

Should the battery go dead while the model is operat-

ing loss of control will occur and create a very danger-

ous situation.

To recharge the transmitter Nicad ,

use the special charger made for this

purpose.

Overcharging could cause the Nicad battery to over-

heat, leak or explode. This may lead to fire, burns,

loss of sight and many other type's of injuries.

Caution Prohibited Items

Do not use commercial AA

size Nicad batteries.

Quick charging may cause the

battery contacts to overheat and

damage the battery holder.

Do not short circuit the Nicad battery

terminals.

Causing a short circuit across the battery terminals

may cause abnormal heating, fire and burns.

Do not drop the Nicad battery or ex-

pose it to strong shocks or vibrations.

The battery may short circuit and overheat, electrolyte

may leak out and cause burns or chemical damage.

When the model is not being used,

always remove or disconnect the

Nicad battery .

Should the battery be left connected this could create

a dangerous situation if someone accidentally turns

on the receiver power switch. Loss of control would

occur.

Special

Charger

Nicad AA size

batteries.

Use

prohibited

Shock

Prohibited

Never insert or remove the charger

while your hands are wet.

You may get an electric shock.

Mandatory Procedures

Always keep the charger disconnected from the

outlet while it is not in use.

It is important to prevent from unexpected accidents such as abnor-

mal heat generation.

For Your Safety As Well As That Of Others

Storage and Disposal Precautions

Warning

Prohibited Procedures

Do not leave the radio system or

models within the reach of small chil-

dren.

A small child may accidentally operate the system,

this could cause a dangerous situation and injuries.

Nicad batteries can be very dangerous when mis-

handled and cause chemical damage.

Do not throw Nicad batteries into a

fire. Do not expose Nicad batteries to

extreme heat. Also do not disas-

semble or modify a Nicad battery

pack.

Overheating and breakage will cause the electrolyte

to leak from the cells and cause skin burns, loss of

sight as well as other injuries.

Mandatory Procedures

When the system will not be used for

any length of time store the system

with batteries in a discharged state.

Be sure to recharge the batteries prior

to the next time the system is used.

If the batteries are repeatedly recharged in a slightly

discharged state the memory effect of the nicad bat-

tery may considerably reduce the capacity . A reduc-

tion in operating time will occur even when the batter-

ies are charged for the recommended time.

The electrolyte in Nicad batteries is a strong alkali. Should you get even the

smallest amount of the electrolyte in your eyes, DO NOT RUB, wash immedi-

ately with water, seek medical attention at once. The electrolyte can cause blind-

ness. If electrolyte comes in contact with your skin or clothes, wash with water

immediately.

Caution

Prohibited Procedures

Do not store your R/C system in the

following places.

- Where it is extremely hot or cold.

- Where the system will be exposed to direct

sunlight.

- Where the humidity is high.

-Where vibration is prevalent.

-Where dust is prevalent.

-Where the system would be exposed to

steam and condensation.

Storing your R/C system under adverse conditions

could cause deformation and numerous problems

with opreation.

Mandatory Procedure

If the system will not be used for a

long period of time remove the batter-

ies from the transmitter and model

and store in a cool dry place.

If the batteries are left in the transmitter electrolyte

may leak and damage the transmitter. This applies to

the model also, remove the batteries from it also to

prevent damage.

A used Nicad battery is valuable resource. Insulate the battery terminals and

dispose the battery by taking it to a battery recycling center.
