Warnin
g
s:
• To reduce the risk of injury, charge only
the specified battery type. Other types of
batteries might burst, causing personal
injury or damage to your charger.
• To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock,
connect the charger directly to a standard
AC power outlet.
• Do not recharge a battery pack that is
damaged or leaking.
• Periodically examine the charger for con-
ditions that might result in a risk of fire,
electric shock, or injury to yourself, chil-
dren, or others. If you observe any breaks
in the housing or other conditions that
appear different than when you first pur-
chased the charger, do not use it until it is
properly repaired by a qualified service
technician.
Cautions:
• After use, the battery pack will be hot.
Wait at least 20 minutes until the battery
pack cools down before recharging it.
Charging a warm or hot battery pack
greatly reduces the number of times your
battery pack can be recharged.
• If the battery pack is wet, thoroughly dry it
before charging.
Note: The running time for radio-controlled
vehicles varies, depending upon which vehicle
you have.
CHARGING
The battery pack requires a complete charge
before use. Follow these steps for the first and
each subsequent charge.
1. Align the arrow on the bottom of the bat-
tery pack with the arrow on the battery
charger.
2. Gently press the battery pack against the
battery charger, then slide the battery
pack in the direction of the arrow until it
locks into place.
3. Plug the battery charger into a standard
AC outlet.

Notes:
• When you charge the battery pack the
first two times, charge it for 6 hours.
Subsequent charges require only 4
hours.
The battery pack discharges when run-
ning your radio-controlled vehicle, but it
is not fully discharged when the vehicle
stops running. If the battery is not used
for several days after that, it loses even
more of its charge and might again re-
quire a full 6-hour charge.
• The battery pack becomes hot after
charging. This is normal for fully
charged batteries.
• The battery pack can be charged for
longer than 4 hours without harm. How-
ever, we recommend you remove the
battery charger from the AC outlet if you
are not going to use the battery pack for
several hours.
Caution: Do not charge a battery pack for
longer than 24 hours. Overcharging a bat-
tery pack results in reduced battery
capacity.
4. When charging is complete, unplug the
battery charger from the AC outlet.
5. To remove the battery pack, press and
hold down the red button on the left side
of the charger, then slide out the battery
pack.
