FLYING SAFETY
To ensure the safety of yourself and others, please observe the following precautions:
Have regular maintenance performed. Although your 7C protects the model memories with non-volatile EEPROM
memory (which does not require periodic replacement) and not a battery, it still should have regular checkups for wear
and tear. We recommend sending your system to the Futaba Service Center annually during your non-flying-season
for a complete checkup and service.
Ni-Cd Battery
Charge the batteries! (See Charging the Ni-Cd batteries, p. 14, for details.) Always recharge the transmitter and
receiver batteries for at least 15 hours before each flying session. A low battery will soon die, causing loss of control
and a crash. When you begin your flying session, reset your 7C's built-in timer, and during the session pay attention
to the duration of usage.
Stop flying long before your batteries become low on charge. Do not
rely on your radioís low battery warning
systems, intended only as a precaution, to tell you when to recharge. Always check your transmitter and
receiver batteries prior to each flight.
Where to Fly
We recommend that you fly at a recognized model airplane flying field. You can find model clubs and fields by asking
your nearest hobby dealer, or in the US by contacting the Academy of Model Aeronautics.
Youcan also contact the national Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA), which has more than 2,500 chartered clubs across the
country. Through any one of them, instructor training programs and insured newcomer training are available. Contact the AMA
at the address or toll-free phone number below.
