Default RE: What voltage on Tx is too low to fly safely?

I'm flying the Spectrum DX-7 with stock Tx pack (1,500 NiMh If I recall correctly). I generally stop flying when the indicator is just above half, or about 9.4 - 9.6 volts. I ask this question for a couple of reasons, one I simply don't know the answer, and two it always seems that I wish I could squeak just one more flight out for the day but choose not to based on the Tx falling below 9.8.

What voltage is too low to fly?

Thanks.
From page 106 of the DX7 manual:

''Do not fly below 9.0V on the transmitter. . .''

Michael
you can't read the manual, thats cheating!
I stop and recharge at 9.5 volts. but I'm very conservative. 9.0 volts is the warning beep on my 10X.
