Follow these precautions:·If your R/C MicroSizers PowerBrute has been unused for a longperiod or you are charging its built-in battery for the first time,the battery may not charge to full capacity. This does notindicate battery failure. Recharging and running the model 4 or5 times will gradually lengthen run times.·Fully discharge the battery by running the truck before recharging.·Charge the battery only when the truck is NOT running. To preventovercharging, never recharge a battery which has already beenfully charged. This will not increase running speed.·Recharge the battery only with the transmitter's built-in charger.·If the chassis becomes warm, let it cool before running again.This product uses a NiCd battery. NiCd batteries are recyclable,and a valuable resource. To dispose of the battery, remove it andtake it to a recycling center.Always use AA alkaline batteries. If improper batteries are usedin the transmitter, they may become hot, leak and may rupture.Follow these precautions:·Never use rechargeable batteries, such as NiCds, in the transmitter.·Do not mix different types of batteries, or old and new batteries.·When changing batteries, replace ALL of the old batteries with new ones.·Make sure the batteries are installed with the correct polarityas shown in the battery compartment.·Do not charge or disassemble your transmitter batteries.
