2.4GHz System Precautions WARNING
Do not cover/hold the built-in antenna part of T2PL-2.4G transmitter by your hand during running. Do not put any conductive plate/sticker on the antenna part. Otherwise, the operating range may become shorter. Do not perform the linking procedure with motor's main wire is connected or the engine is operating as it may result in serious injury. While the linking is done, please cycle receiver power and check if the receiver to be linked is really under the control by the transmitter to be linked. Always use R603GF under 6.0V NiCd battery or regulated output from ESC. If using dry cell batteries, it may cause malfunction. Be sure that when using ESC's regulated output the capacity of the ESC must meet your usage condition. In order to maintain complete control of your car/boat it is important that it remains visible at all times. Running behind large objects is not suggested. Doing so may result in the reduction of the quality of the radio frequency link to the model.
Operation Precautions WARNING
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. Prior to operation always perform 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. Operate from a distance of about 100 feet. Be sure to check the movement of each servo to make sure it follows the movement of the steering wheel and throttle trigger. If the servos do not follow the commands from the transmitter or any type of interference is detected, Do Not operate the model. Never operate in the rain or run through puddles. The transmitter, receiver, batteries and most servos, and speed controls are not waterproof. 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 R/C system and return it to our service center for inspection. Do not operate when visibility is limited. Should you lose sight of the model, a collision or other dangerous situation may occur. Do not operate near people or roads. Do not operate on any pond when boats are present. Do not operate near high tension power lines or communication broadcasting antennas. Prior to the operation of any model be sure the area you plan to use is safe. Be aware of all objects that may be in the path of your model. 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. Do not operate when you are tired, not feeling well or under the inuence of alcohol or drugs. Your judgment is impaired and could result in a dangerous situation that may cause serious injury to yourself and others. (Turning on the power switches) Always check the throttle trigger on the transmitter to be sure it is at the neutral position. 1. Turn on the transmitter power switch. 2. Turn on the receiver or speed control power switch. (Turning off the power switches) Always be sure the engine is not running or the motor is stopped. 1. Turn off the receiver or speed control power switch. 2. Then turn off the transmitter power switch. If the power switches are turned off in the opposite order the model may unexpectedly run out of control and cause a very dangerous situation.

Make all adjustments to the radio control system with engine not running, or the electric motor disconnected. If the engine is running or the motor is connected while adjustments are made, the model may run out of control. Remove the main battery source from electric powered models when they are not being used. Should you accidentally leave the receiver switch on, the model could run out of control. (Fail safe function) Before running (cruising), check the fail safe function. Check Method: Before starting the engine, check the fail safe function as follows: 1. Turn on the transmitter and receiver power switches. 2. Turn off the transmitter power switch. 3. Check if the fail safe function moves the servos to the preset position when reception fails. The fail safe function is a safety feature that minimizes set damage by moving the servos to a preset position when reception fails. However, if set to a dangerous position, it has the opposite effect. Setting example: Throttle idle or brake position

CAUTION

Do not touch the engine, motor, speed control or any part of the model that will generate heat while running. Touching hot parts will result in serious burns. When the charger is not in use, disconnect it from the outlet. This will prevent accidents, overheating and short circuits.
Storage and Disposal Safety Precautions WARNING
At the end of a day's operation, store the system with NiCd battery discharged. Be sure to recharge the system before it is used again. You should fully discharge your system's batteries periodically to prevent a condition called "memory". For example, if you only make two runs in a day or you regularly use a small amount of battery's capacity, the memory effect can reduce the actual capacity even if the battery is charged for the recommended amount of time. Do not throw a Ni-cad battery into a re. 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, and seek medical attention at once. The electrolyte can cause blindness. If electrolyte comes in contact with your skin or clothes, wash with water immediately. Do not leave the radio system or models within the reach of small children. A small child may accidentally operate the system. This could cause a dangerous situation

and injuries. NiCd batteries can be very dangerous when mishandled and cause chemical damage.
Do not store your R/C system where it will be exposed to the following conditions. Extreme heat or coldness Exposed to direct sunlight Where humidity is high Where vibration is prevalent Where dust is prevalent Where there is steam and condensation Storing your R/C system under adverse conditions could cause deformation and numerous other problems with operation. If the system will not be used for a long period of time, remove the batteries from the model and store in a cool, dry place. If the batteries are left in the model, electrolyte may leak and damage the model.
<NiCd Battery Recycling>
A used NiCd battery is valuable resource. Insulate the battery terminals and dispose of the battery by taking it to a battery recycling center.
Other Safety Precautions CAUTION
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. Beginners should receive instructions regarding safety and operation from an experienced modeler. Always use only genuine Futaba transmitter, receivers, servos, and 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. Do not short circuit the Ni-cad battery terminals. Short circuiting the terminals will lead to sparks and overheating and could cause a re and burns as well. Do not expose plastic parts to fuel, motor spray, waste oil or exhaust. The fuel, motor spray, waste oil and exhaust will penetrate and damage the plastic.
<NiCd Battery Electrolyte>
The electrolyte in NiCd 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 and seek medical attention at once. The electrolyte can cause blindness. If electrolyte comes in contact with your skin or clothes, wash with water immediately.
