IMPORTANT NOTE: Lithium Polymer batteries are significantly more volatile than the
alkaline, NiCd and NiMH batteries also used in RC applications. All instructions and
warnings must be followed exactly to prevent property damage and/or personal injury as
mishandling of LiPo batteries can result in fire.
By handling, charging or using the included LiPo battery you assume all risks associated
with LiPo batteries. If you do not agree with these conditions, please return your complete
product in new, unused condition to the place of purchase immediately.
And although the 110mAh 1 ‐ Cell/1S 3.7V LiPo battery installed in your Ares™ Chronos CX 75
RTF helicopter is intended to be charged safely using the LiPo battery charger built into the
included transmitter you MUST read the following safety instructions and warnings before
handling, charging or using the LiPo battery.
• You must charge the LiPo battery in a safe area away from flammable materials.
• Never charge the LiPo battery unattended at any time. When charging the battery
you should always remain in constant observation to monitor the charging process
and react immediately to any potential problems that may occur.
• After flying/discharging the battery you must allow it to cool to ambient/room
temperature before recharging. Also, it is NOT necessary or recommended to
discharge the battery ‘fully’ before charging (LiPo batteries have no ‘memory’ and it’s
safe to charge partially discharged batteries when using an appropriate charger).
• To charge the battery you must use only the LiPo battery charger built into the
included transmitter. Failure to do so may result in a fire causing property damage
and/or personal injury . DO NOT use a NiCd or NiMH charger.
• If at any time during the charge or discharge process the battery begins to balloon or
swell, discontinue charging or discharging immediately. Quickly and safely
disconnect the helicopter/battery from the transmitter/charger, then place the
helicopter/battery in a safe, open area away from flammable materials to observe it
for at least 15 minutes. Continuing to charge or discharge a battery that has begun to
balloon or swell can result in a fire. A battery that has ballooned or swollen even a
small amount must be removed from service completely.
• Store the battery partially charged (approximately 50% charged/3.85V per cell), at
room temperature (approximately 68–77° Fahrenheit [F]) and in a dry area for best
results.
