Press the tab on the bottom of the transmitter to open
battery box cover.
Remove the lock to pull out battery
box.
Install four R03/AAA/UM4 alkaline
batteries while noting their polarity,
then replace
battery box.
Use batteries which have adequate remaining capacity. Weak
batteries mean lower transmitting power and may result in
malfunctions.
Do not install Ni-Cd or Ni-MH batteries in the battery box.
(These may cause the battery connectors to corrode.)
A warning will be displayed with the LED ashing and
an alarm will sound when battery voltage is less 4v.
When you see this warning, stop your model in a safe
area, turn it o󱐯 and install new transmitter batteries.
If the Xpansion unit is not assembled or
used, do not use the LiFe/LiPo battery.
