1)   Remove the battery cover from the bottom 

battery cover in the direction of the arrow.

2)  Install  four  fresh  'AA'  Alkaline  batteries 

into  the  battery  holder,  making  sure  that 

the  polarity  is  correct.  The  direction  that 

each battery should be installed is molded into the bottom of the battery holder (+ Positive and - Negative).

3) 

The 

MT-4 2.4GHz FHSS-4T

 transmitter's Operating Voltage Range is 4.0 ~ 9.6 volts. This

 allows you to use several different 

battery options (not included), depending on your preference.

Alkaline -

a transmitter that is lightweight and well-balanced for unmatched comfort.

Ni-Cd/Ni-MH -

 Rechargeable Ni-Cd or Ni-MH batteries of desired capacity can be used in place of the Alkaline batteries. Using 

rechargeable Ni-Cd or Ni-MH batteries is more convenient and cheaper in the long run. The higher capacity batteries will also 

provide longer usage time than most Alkaline batteries. 

Li-Po or Li-Fe/A123 -

 A 2 cell Li-Po battery pack or a 2 cell Li-Fe/A123 battery pack can be used to power the transmitter. These 

battery packs are popular due to their light weight and high capacity for long usage time between charges.

Transmitter power output, range, and speed are the same, regardless of the battery voltage and type used. If using a Li-Po or 

Li-Fe/A123 battery pack, please obverse the warnings in the

GENERAL

SYSTEM CONNECTIONS

TRANSMITTER BATTERY OPTIONS

ALKALINE BATTERY INSTALLATION

In the default configuration, the transmitter is designed to be powered using four 

'AA' Alkaline batteries. This results in

of the transmitter by pushing firmly on the 

Slide the battery cover back onto the transmitter and push it firmly until it 'clicks' closed.



  Do NOT charge your Li-Po or Li-Fe/A123 battery pack through the transmitter Charging Jack. The battery pack 

MUST

 be 

removed from the transmitter for charging or the transmitter could be damaged.





  When changing the connector on your battery pack to match the battery power plug in the base of 

the transmitter or on the receiver's on/off switch, please observe correct polarity. Connecting with 

reverse polarity will damage the transmitter and/or receiver.



  Observe all safety precautions provided with your Li-Po or Li-Fe/A123 battery pack.



  Damage to the transmitter and/or receiver caused by improper use, wrong battery type, incorrect voltage or reverse polarity 

will not be covered under warranty.



  Use 

ONLY

 a 2 Cell Li-Po or Li-Fe/A123 battery pack of desired capacity.

-   =  Negative (Black)

+  =  Positive (Red)

Both the transmitter and receiver have a Nominal Input Voltage of 4.8 ~ 7.4 volts. 

DO NOT USE A 3 CELL LI-PO OR 

LI-FE/A123 BATTERY PACK

 or the transmitter and/or receiver will be damaged.

WARNINGS IF USING LI-PO OR LI-FE/ A123 BATTERIES

Use a charger specifically designed to charge Li-Po or Li-Fe/A123 batteries.
