INPUT POWER
Four 1.5V “AA” alkaline batteries or 1.2V rechargeable nickel-cadmium (NiCd) or nickel-metal hydride (NiMH)
batteries are required (not included). Do not mix cell types, or old and new cells, etc. See the SERVOS AND
ACCESSORIES section on page 12 for optional batteries available at local hobby retailers. Slide open the
battery door. Insert all cells with the proper polarity as shown inside the battery holder. Close the battery door.
POWER SWITCH, LED, AND LOW BATTERY ALARM
The red LED should light when the power switch is moved upwards to the “ON” position. The Tx should have
adequate power for flight when the LED is on constantly. Flashing of this LED accompanied by beeps means
the Tx batteries have weakened and operation of the model should NOT be attempted!
WARNING! Never operate an R/C model with weak Tx batteries! Reduced operational
range and/or possible loss of control of the aircraft could result. Replace weak alkaline
batteries, or re-charge NiCd or NiMH batteries before attempting a flight! If this alarm
activates during flight, land the aircraft immediately! Failure to do so could result in
destruction of the model and possibly bodily injury!
CHARGE JACK AND CHARGING RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES
WARNING! Do NOT attempt to recharge alkaline batteries! The charge jack should ONLY be
used if rechargeable cells are used in the transmitter. Do not accidentally short circuit the
terminals inside the charge jack as permanent damage could result and void the warranty.
The TTX410 includes a built-in charge jack for convenient recharging of NiCd
or NiMH batteries, and is compatible with charge leads designed for Futaba
®
brand transmitters with the center pin being positive polarity. This jack is NOT
compatible with charge leads for Hitec
®
, Airtronics
®
, JR
®
or Spektrum
®
radios.
Always make sure to use a charger (not included) which is 100% compatible
with the selected battery type.
To use the charge jack, make sure the Tx power switch is in the OFF position. Connect a compatible charge
lead (such as TACP0101) to the charger first, then to the Tx charge jack. Follow the instructions included
with the charger.
WARNING! Do not charge batteries at currents greater than 1 amp through this charge jack.
Misuse, improper charging, or over-charging of rechargeable cells can result in damage to the
cells that could include cell rupture, explosion, or fire!!
