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.
