NiMH/NiCd Battery Safety and Handling instructions
IMPORTANT!
Use only the Futaba special charger included with this set or other chargers approved by Futaba to 
charge the NiMH batteries in the T14SG transmitter included with this set.
It is important to understand the operating characteristics of NiMH/NiCd batteries.Always read the specifications 
printed on the label of your NiMH/NiCd battery and charger prior to use. Failure to follow the proceeding 
precautions can quickly result in severe, permanent damage to the batteries and its surroundings and possibly 
result in a FIRE!
IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
Do not attempt to disassemble NiMH/NiCd packs or cells. 
Do not allow NiMH/NiCd cells to come in contact with moisture or water at any time. 
Always provide adequate ventilation around NiMH/NiCd batteries during charge, discharge, while in use, 
and during storage.
Do not leave a NiMH/NiCd battery unattended at any time while being charged or discharged.
Do not attempt to charge NiMH/NiCd batteries with a charger that is NOT designed for NiMH/NiCd  
batteries, as permanent damage to the battery and charger could result.
Always charge NiMH/NiCd batteries in a fireproof location. Do not charge or discharge NiMH/NiCd  
batteries on carpet, a cluttered workbench, near paper, plastic, vinyl, leather or wood, or inside an R/C 
model or full-sized automobile! Monitor the charge area with a smoke or fire alarm.
Do not charge NiMH/NiCd batteries at currents greater than the “1C” rating of the battery (“C” equals the 
rated capacity of the battery).
Do not allow NiMH/NiCd cells to overheat at any time! Cells which reach greater than 140 degrees 
Fahrenheit (60°C) should be placed in a fireproof location.
NiMH/NiCd cells will not charge fully when too cold or show full charge.
It is normal for the batteries to become warm during charging, but if the charger or battery becomes 
excessively hot disconnect the battery from the charger immediately!! Always inspect a battery which has 
previously overheated for potential damage, and do not re-use if you suspect it has been damaged in any 
way. 
Do not use a NiMH/NiCd battery if you suspect physical damage has occurred to the pack. Carefully 
inspect the battery for even the smallest of dents, cracks, splits, punctures or damage to the wiring and 
connectors. DO NOT allow the battery’s internal electrolyte to get into eyes or on skin—wash affected 
areas immediately if they come in contact with the electrolyte. If in doubt, place the battery in a fire-proof 
location for at least 30 minutes.
Do not store batteries near an open flame or heater.
Do not discharge NiMH/NiCd batteries at currents which exceed the discharge current rating of the battery.
Always store NiMH/NiCd cells/packs in a secure location away from children.
Never remove the SD card or turn off power 
while entering data.
Never store the SD card where it may be subject 
to strong static electricity or magnetic fields.
Do not expose the SD card to direct sunlight, 
excessive humidity or corrosive environments.
Do not expose the SD card to dirt, moisture, water 
or fluids of any kind.
Always hold the SD card by the edges during 
installation and removal.
Be certain to insert the SD card in the correct 
direction.
