If ignored and not performed properly. suouneoard Mares Explanation Of Graphic Symbols A Indicates an operation that prompts a Warning (including Caution). ® Indicates an operation that must not be performed. o Indicates an operation that always must be performed. (Sailing) Preparations Safe Precautio A Warning (When using a Ni-cad battery to power your system) argmg When using a Ni-cad battery to power your system, always charge and check the battery voltage prior to operation. Should the battery discharge below the minimum voltage level, control will be lost. A Caution (When using a Ni-cad battery to power your system) 0 When the charger is not in use, disconnect from the outlet. To prevent accidents, overheating and short circuits mad R ing (Sailing) Saf y Precautio A Warning Conduct Tests Prior to operation always preform a range test. Even one abnormality in the R/C system may cause loss of control. [Range Test Procedure] Have a friend hold the model, or place on a stand where the wheels or prop can not come in contact with any object. Collapse the transmitter antenna and operate from a distance of about 10 yards. Be sure to check the movement of each servo to make sure they follow the movement of the steering and throttle stick. If the servos do not follow the commands from the transmitter or any type of interference is detected, Do Not operate the model. Fully extend the transmitter antenna. . If the transmitter antenna is not fully extended range will be reduced and control may be lost. Prohibited ® Do not operate two or more models on the same frequency at the same time. Operation of two or more models on the same frequency at the same time will cause interference and loss of control of both models. AM. FM and PCM are different methods of modulation. Nonetheless the same fre- quency can not be used at the same point in time, regardless of the signal format. Do not operate outdoors on rainy days ® Never operate in the rain or run through puddles. The transmitter, receiver, batteries and most servos, and speed controls are not we» terprooti Contact with any type of moisture or immersion in water or snow will cause damage along with possible loss of control. Should any type of moisture enter any component of the system immediately stop using the Ft/C system and return to our service center for inspection. Prohibited Do not operate when visibility is limited. Should you loss sight of the model a collision or other dangerous situation may occur. Prohibited ® Do not operate near people or roads. Do not operate near high tension power lines or communication broadcasting anten- has. Prior to the operation of any model be sure the area you plan to use is safe. Be aware of all object that may be in the path of your modeli Do not operate the model Where people or any type of moveable object could stray in the path of your model. Control loss due to interference, component failure, loss of sight or low battery voltage could result in serious injury to yourself and others as well as damage to your model. Prohibited Do not Operate your Ft/C system within 1 mile of another site where radio control activity may occur. Interference from other RIC systems will cause loss of control. at .. cc 0. >. s. .._ as U) Prohibited Do not operate when you are tired, not feeling well or under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Your judgement is impaired and could result in a dangerous situation that may cause serious injury to yourself and others. Before you turn on the power switch on the transmitter, always check to see that the stick is at the neutral position, Always turn the transmitter on first, then the receivert When you turn the system off, always turn the receiver off first then the transmitter. Q This step is very important always follow this procedure. a If this procedure is not followed. injury to yourself and others as well as loss of control Q. could occur. “0 3 Adjustment Note 0 0 Make all adjustments to the radio control system with engine not mnning, or the elec- A: trio motor disconnected. r E, It the engine is running or the motor is connected while adjustments are made the 1 3' model may run out of control. l 3 (D 0 Remove the main battery source from electric powered models when they are not being used. Should you accidently leave the receiver switch on the model could run out of control. A Caution Do not touch ® Do not touch the engine, motor, speed control or any part of the model that will gener- ate heat while mnning. Touching hot parts will result in serious burns. tio Storage A Disposal Safety Free A Warning (When using a Ni-cad battery to power your system) 0 At the end of a days operation store the system with Ni-cad battery discharged. Be sure to recharge the system before it is used again. You should fully discharge your systems batteries periodicity to prevent a condition called "memory effect". For example it you only make two run in a day or you regularly use a small amount of the batteries capacity, the memory effect can reduce the actual capacity even if the battery is charged for the recommended amount of time. or ® Do not throw a Ni-cad battery into a fire. Do not disassemble or attempt to repair a Ni- cad battery pack. Overheating, damage and acid leakage may lead to burns, loss of eye sight as well as numerous other types of injuries. The electrolyte in Ni—cad batteries is a strong alkali. Should you get even the smallest amount of the electrolyte in your eyes, Do Not rub, wash immediately with water, seek medical attention at once. The electrolyte can cause blindness. If electrolyte comes in contact with your skin or clothes, wash with water immediately. A Caution Prohibited . ® Do not store your Ft/C system where it will be exposed to the following conditions. ' Extreme heat or coldness ° Exposed to direct sunlight 0 Where humidity is high - Where vibration is prevalent - Where dust is prevalent - Where there is steam and condensation - Where the system would be exposed to engine exhaust Storing your RIC system under adverse conditions could cause deformation and nu- merous other problems with operation. (When using a Ni-cad battery to power your system Caution ' 0 0 When disposing Ni-cad batteries, cover any exposed contacts with some type of insu- lation to prevent short circuit. Improper disposal could cause fire. ‘Special Note! Some states require special handling when Ni-cad batteries are disposed. Con» tact the State Agency responsible for recycling hazardous waste for the proce- dures in your state. ' Other a yP a I ACaution 0 When operating two or more models at the same time, have a third person act as a spotter. They will be in charge of safety and you should follow their instructions. Use genuine Futaba parts only. 0 Always use only genuine Futaba receiver, servos, electronic speed controls along with other optional parts and components. Futaba will not be held responsible for damages caused by other than genuine Futaba parts and components. Use only genuine Futaba parts and components listed in the instruction manual and catalog. Beginners should receive instructions regarding safety and operation from an experi- enced modeler. (When using a Ni-cad battery to power your system) Prohibited ® Do not short circuit the Ni~cad battery terminals. Short circuiting the terminals will lead to sparks and overheating and could cause a fire and burns as well.

Futaba will not be responsible for any damage due to improper disassembly of any (Gas Powered Car's and Boats) part of the radio control system. Isolate the receiver from vibration by wrapping it in foam rubber or similar type cush- ioning material. Protect the unit from water damage by placing it in a plastic bag or waterproof radio box. The receiver contains precision electronic parts. These parts are vulnerable to vibra- tion and shock. Any contact with moisture (water or condensation) may cause receiver malfunction and loss of control. Installation Note 0 Keep all devices that may omit high frequency noise, such as motor's, batteries, and O 0 wiring that handle heavy current loads, at least 1/2 inch away from the receiver and receiver antenna.
