The lower voltage (batteries=1.5 V, rechargeable batteries=1.2 V) and the lower capacity of re-
chargeable batteries lead to a decrease in the operating time. Usually this does not matter,
since the operating time of the transmitter is much longer than that of the model.
If you use conventional batteries in the remote control, we recommend the use of high-quality
alkaline batteries.
When using rechargeable batteries the range might be reduced.
8. Charging the batteries
The rechargeable mignon batteries required for the RC system are, in general, empty on delivery and must be
charged.
Please note:
Before the rechargeable battery supplies its maximum power, several complete discharge and
charge cycles are necessary.
Always discharge the rechargeable battery in regular intervals, since charging a ”half-full” re-
chargeable battery several times can cause a so-called memory effect. This means that the re-
chargeable battery loses its capacity. It no longer releases all of its stored energy, the operation
time of the model and the transmitter is reduced.
If you use several rechargeable batteries, purchasing a high-quality charger may be worthwhile. They are normally
also suitable for fast-charging rechargeable batteries.
To load the rechargeable batteries in the transmitter, follow the relevant section of the instructions.
ATTENTION!
Only charge rechargeable batteries which are intended for this purpose!
Take note of the separate operating manuals of accessories such as rechargeable batteries and
chargers.
