Commissioning

Operating voltage 7.2 V
Insert the battery in the battery compartment for commissioning. For removal, press in the locking pin to unlock and slide out the battery.

Charge the rechargeable battery completely before initial use.

If the NBB radio control system won’t be used for a long period of time, it is strongly recommended remove the battery from transmitter and charge the battery approx. every 4 weeks. This prevents deep discharge of the battery and enhances its service life.

Battery life warnings
The quick blinking of the letter “L” in the display shows the end of the battery capacity. From this time the operation of the transmitter is approx. 30 minutes possible. During this time, bring the unit into a safe position, switch off the transmitter and and insert a new battery. Charge discharged batteries only in the charger.

Energy saving function
If no buttons are pressed within a specified time, the transmitter switches off automatically. The display turns off. A transmitter can also be manufactured without a standby function for continuous operation as an option.
The standby time can be set as desired.

The nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) batteries from NBB have a high energy density and self- cleaning contacts. With an NBB charger, the battery packs are charged at a high charge current. This rapid charge is thermally controlled to optimise recharging and prevent overcharging.

• Technology Ni-MH
• Voltage 7.2 V
• Capacity 1,500 m Ah
• Maximum charging current 1.0 A (with monitoring)
• Operating temperature (discharge) – 20 C° to + 60 C°
• Operating temperature (charge) + 10 C° to + 35 C°
• Weight Approx. 200 g
• Measurements (L x B x H) Approx. 126 mm x 52 mm x 22 mm

Battery 7.2 V

Completely charge the battery before initial use. The battery only has its maximum capacity after five complete charging and discharging procedures! Completely discharge the battery in the control unit before charging again. The charging time depends on the type of battery. It is normal for the battery to heat up during charging or over long periods of use. Charge batteries at an ambient temperature of 10° C to 35° C. To prevent deep discharge, the battery should be recharged once a month if not used. If the battery temperature is too high or too low, no charging takes place. Deep discharge and extreme temperatures damage the battery. Heat in particular reduces performance. To extend the service life of the battery, store the charged battery in a cool and dry location. We are not liable for subsequent damage due to incorrect use.

Only completely discharged batteries should be charged. Therefore operate your controller until the capacity of the battery is completely depleted.

Safety information
A charged battery is a concentrated energy source! Never store the battery in toolboxes, or similar, where there is a risk of short circuiting due to metal parts (short circuit due to keys in trouser pockets is also possible.). Do not open, modify or burn the battery. Do not drop it or subject it to strong impact. Protect the battery from rain, moisture and extreme temperatures. Keep the contacts clean and make sure the battery does not come into contact with metal objects (e. g. aluminium foil). Do not short circuit the battery.

Disposal
Do not throw away used batteries in household waste but hand them in to a collection point.
