CHARGING BATTERIES

If using rechargeable batteries (optional), it is imperative that
you fully charge the transmitter prior to each flying session.
To do so, using the optional wall charger, leave the charger
and batteries connected overnight (16 hours).
The optional charger (SPM9526) is designed to recharge
your batteries at a rate of 150mA for the transmitter and
150mA for the receiver battery pack. Do not use this charger
for equipment other than Spektrum transmitters that use
4-cell battery packs. The charging plug polarity may not
be the same and equipment damage can result. During the
charging operation, the charger's temperature is slightly
elevated. This is normal.
