A Special Instructions About Batteries
Contents:
1. Keep batteries/storage batteries out of reach of children.
2. Do not let batteries lie around openly. There is a risk of batteries being swallowed by children or pets.
In such case, seek instant medical care!
3. Batteries/rechargeable batteries must never be short-circuited, taken apart or thown into fire.
They might explode!
4. Leaking or damage batteries/rechargeable batteries might cause acid burns when getting into contact
with skin. Therefore, use suitable protective gloves.
5. Conventional batteries must not be recharged. Danger of fire and explosion! Only charge rechargeable
batteries which are intended for this purpose, use suitable rechargeable battery chargers.
6. Pls observe correct polarity of batteries/rechargeable batteries and the connection of a re-chargeable
battery pack(note plus/+ and minus/-) when inserting the batteries.
7. If the device is not used for a longer period of time (eg storage), take out the inserted batteries/
rechargeable batteries of the remote control to avoid damage from leaking batteries/rechargeable
batteries.
Recharge the rechargeable battery about every 3 months, because otherwise there may a so called
deep discharge because of the self discharge, which makes the rechargeable batteries useless.
8. Always exchange the entire set of batteries or rechargeable batteries.
Do not mix full batteries/rechargeable batteries with half-full ones.
Always use batteries or rechargeable batteries of the same type and manufacturer.
9. Never mix batteries and storage batteries. Either use eight batteries or eight rechargeable batteries
for the remote control/transmitter.
Please Note:
Before the rechargeable battery pack delivery its maximum power, several complete dis-charge and
charge cycles are necessary.
Always drive the rechargeable battery pack empty, since recharging a “half - full” rechargeable battery
pack can cause a so called memory effect. That means that the rechargeable battery pack loses its
capacity, it no longer releases all of its saved energy, drive time is decreased.
If you are using several rechargeable battery packs or rechargeable batteries, purchasing a high quality
charger maybe worthwhile.
They are normally also suitable for fast charging of rechargeable batteries.
For this purpose, proceed as follows:
If the rechargealbe battery pack was taken directly from the vehicle and is still hot, wait untill the
rechargeable battery pack has cooled down before you recharge. (min. of 5-10 minutes)
Connect the plug-in charger with a proper mains socket.
Connect the rechargeable battery pack with correct polarity with the plug-in charger.
Normally the special design of the two plugs avoids the incorrect connection of the rechargeable battery.
