In most countries no fee is payable for operating a radio control system for model air-
craft on the approved channels in the 35 MHz and 2.4 GHz bands.
If you are not sure whether this applies to you, contact your nearest Post Office Tele-
communications office. Your local model shop will also have this information.
Instructions and warnings relating to the use of LiPo batteries
Please read the instruction sheet included with every battery pack for
general information on the use of LiPo batteries.
General warnings
These batteries must not come into contact with fire or ashes.
The cells must not be allowed to contact fluids such as fresh water, salt water or
drinks. Avoid contact with liquids of all types.
Individual cells and batteries are by no means toys, and must never be allowed to get
into the hands of children. Store cells and batteries well out of the reach of children.
Batteries must not be left within reach or in the vicinity of babies or toddlers. If a child
should swallow a battery, call for a doctor or emergency medical assistance without
delay.
Batteries must not be placed in a microwave oven, nor subjected to pressure: the
results may be smoke and fire or worse.
Never attempt to dismantle Li-Po cells. Taking a battery apart can cause internal
short-circuits, which could result in gassing, fire, explosion and other problems.
The electrolyte and electrolytic vapours are injurious to health. Avoid direct contact
with the electrolyte at all costs. If the material gets in your eyes, on your skin or other
part of your body, it is essential to wash the affected area immediately with copious
amounts of clean water. Consult a doctor as soon as possible thereafter.
Batteries installed in a device should always be removed from the apparatus if it is
not to be used again in the immediate future. Always switch off such devices after
use to avoid discharging the cells to a dangerous level. Recharge the batteries in
good time. Store batteries on a non-flammable, heat-resistant and non-conductive
surface. If you allow a Li-Po battery to become deep-discharged, it will inevitably be
ruined, and must not be used again.

IMPORTANT:
when the flight battery is exhausted, you must not dispose of it in
the household waste. Take the pack to your local battery reclamation centre.
•
IMPORTANT:
when the useful life of the model and the transmitter are over, do
not discard them in the domestic rubbish. The electric and electronic components
in particular must be taken to your nearest electrical recycling centre. Ask your
local authority if you are not sure of its location.
