7.4V 740mAh Lithium Polymer
Pack is only partially charged. Full charge the LiPo battery pack
before first use.
• Always fully charge the LiPo battery pack in repeat use.
• The supply terminals are not to be short-circuited.
• Do not use the battery with the positive and negative terminals
reversed.
• Do not attempt to open, disassemble or short-circuit the LiPo

• Do not recharge the LiPo battery pack immediately after use. Wait until
it is cool before charging.
• Be sure the wall charger, docking station and LiPo battery are kept out
of the hands of infants and small children.
• Do not charge near fire, where temperature is extremely high
(flammable item), or where it is wet or damp.
• Do not leave the battery in direct sunlight.
• DO NOT continue to charge the LiPo battery if the charger
fails to recognize full charge. Overheating or swelling of the LiPo
cells is an indicator that they are in an overcharged condition, and the
batteries should be disconnected from the charger immediately!
• DO NOT allow LiPo battery pack to overheat at any time! Cells which
reach greater than 140°F (60°C) can and USUALLY WILL become
damaged physically and could possibly catch FIRE! Always inspect a
battery which has previously overheated for potential damaged, and
do not re-use if you suspect it has been damaged in any way.
• DO NOT allow LiPo batteries to be charged or discharged on or near
combustible materials, including paper, plastic, carpets, vinyl, leather,
wood, inside an R/C model or full-sized automobile!
• ALWAYS provide adequate ventilation around LiPo batteries during
charge, discharge, while in use and during storage. If a battery
becomes overheated, remove it from the charger IMMEDIATELY and
place it in a fire-proof location until it cools.
• DO NOT modify the Air Hogs
®
LiPo battery pack in any ways which
might result in permanent damage or dangerous responses.
• IMMEDIATELY remove a LiPo battery from a model if it is involved in
a crash in any way. Do not use a LiPo battery if you suspect physical
damage has occurred to the pack. Carefully inspect the battery for
even the smallest of dents, cracks, splits, punctures or damages.
A LiPo battery might not appear to be damaged after a crash, but it
could smolder over a short amount of time and suddenly catch fire
unexpectedly., If in doubt, place the battery in a fire-proof location
indefinitely.
