The SD-6G transmitter features a Charging Jack, which can be used with the Airtronics 95034 110v AC Transmitter and Receiver
Dual Charger to recharge the batteries without removing them from the transmitter. In addition, this charger can also be used to
recharge a 4.8v (4 cell) or 6.0v (5 cell) rechargeable Ni-Cd or Ni-MH receiver battery pack at the same time. We recommend
one of the following receiver battery packs:
Hi-Energy 4.8v 2200mAh Ni-MH Rechargeable Flat Battery Pack for Receiver (1 PC.)
Hi-Energy 6.0v 2200mAh Ni-MH Rechargeable Flat Battery Pack for Receiver (1 PC.)
Warnings About Charging the Transmitter and Receiver Batteries
The SD-6G transmitter features a Charging Jack located on the right side of the transmitter, allowing you to recharge the Ni-Cd
or Ni-MH rechargeable batteries without removing them from the transmitter. Use ONLY the recommended optional Airtronics
95034 110v AC Transmitter and Receiver Dual Charger or damage to the transmitter and/or batteries could result.
WARNING Do NOT attempt to recharge Alkaline batteries. Do NOT attempt to charge any type of batteries other than those
recommended and use ONLY the recommended charger. Do not use the Charging Jack with any other after-market fast
charger or Peak-Detection charger or the transmitter could be damaged.
Charging the Transmitter and Receiver Batteries
1) Plug the Airtronics 95034 110V AC Transmitter and Receiver Dual Charger into a 110v AC wall socket.
2) Plug the round connector from the charger into the Charging Jack in the transmitter and plug the female connector from the
charger into the switch harness charge plug. The charger LEDs will illuminate red, indicating that the charger is charging.
3) Both transmitter and receiver charger outputs are 150mAh, therefore, it will take approximately 15 hours to recharge
fully-discharged 2200mAh batteries (2200/150=14.6). Charge time will vary depending on the mAh capacity of the batteries
you're charging. For example, 1200mAh batteries would require an 8 hour charge (1200/150=8).
l
Always follow the charging procedures described below to ensure the safe and correct use of the rechargeable batteries and
charger.
l
Before charging the batteries, double-check that both the transmitter and the receiver are turned OFF.
l
Overcharging reduces the life of the batteries and can result in overheating and bursting. This may cause personal injury
and/or property damage.
l
Do not plug the recommended charger into anything other than an AC 110v power outlet. Plugging the charger into anything
other than AC 110v outlet may result in smoking, sparks, or re.
l
Do not throw the batteries or abuse them in any manner. Do not dispose of the batteries in the re or allow them to overheat.
l
Do not short-circuit the battery terminals with wire or any other object.
WARNING If you're using a Li-Fe or Li-Po receiver battery, do NOT attempt to charge either of these types of batteries with
the optional Airtronics 95034 110v AC Transmitter and Receiver Dual Charger. You MUST use a charger that is specically
designed to charge Li-Fe or Li-Po batteries.
Depending on the region in which your purchase your SD-6G 2.4GHz FHSS-1 radio control system, rechargeable
transmitter batteries and an overnight charger may or may not be included. If these items are NOT included, we recommend
using the following:
Hi-Energy 1200mAh Ni-MH 'AA' Rechargeable Batteries (4-Pack) for Transmitter (2 PCS.)
Airtronics 95034 110v AC Transmitter and Receiver Dual Charger (1 PC.)
WARNING An after-market peak-detection charger, cycler, or fast charger should NOT be used to charge Ni-Cd or Ni-MH
rechargeable batteries through the transmitter. The circuitry within the transmitter can interfere with the peak-detection
charger's normal operation, resulting in over-charging and damaging the batteries, and possibly the transmitter itself.
In addition, a fast charger can damage the transmitter's circuitry. These chargers can be used, but ONLY if the batteries are
charged outside of the transmitter.
Instead of using Alkaline batteries to power the transmitter, you can use rechargeable Ni-Cd or Ni-MH batteries. This will provide
longer usage time and reduced cost in the long run, since you won't need to continuously purchase new Alkaline batteries.
