As with all radio frequency transmissions, the strongest area of signal transmission is from the sides

of the transmitter's antenna. As such, the antenna should not be pointed directly at the model. If your

Note: If you remove the battery while the

power is on, the data you have set will not

be saved.

1. Open the battery cover.

2. Disconnect the battery connector.

3. Close the battery cover completely.

1.Plug the transmitter cord of the special

charger into the charging jack on the side of

the transmitter.

2. Plug the charger into an AC outlet.

3. Check that the charging LED lights.

When the battery will not be used for a long time, to

prevent it from deteriorating we recommend that it be

kept in about the half capacity state instead of fully

charged. Also be careful that the battery does not en-

ter the over-discharged state due to self-discharge.

When the transmitter will not be used for a long time,

you should always remove its battery.

Periodically (about every 3 months) charge the battery.

The charging time when charging the FT2F2100BV2

battery with the optional special charger is approxi-

mately 3 hours.
