Battery And Charger
Please only use special RC chargers and batteries. Seek advise in a modelling shop. Never store your batteries in a fully loaded condition.
• Keep batteries / rechargeable batteries out of the reach of children and pets, as they can inadvertently swallow the batteries / accumula-
tors. In this case, immediately consult a doctor!
• Expired or damaged batteries can cause burns in contact. If skin or eyes get in contact with the electrolyte, rinse immediately with clean
water and seek medical attention. Use suitable protective gloves when disposing of the defective battery.
• If you notice any signs of smell, discoloration, excessive heating or deformation of the battery, disconnect the battery immediately from
the charger or the consumer. Dispose of the battery!
• Conventional alkaline batteries (1.5V) are intended for single use only and must then be properly disposed of.
• Dispose of empty batteries or defective batteries enivronmetally correctly at the authorized collection points. Disposal over household
waste is prohibited!
• Batteries must not become moist or wet. Also avoid the formation of condensation water.
• Never expose the batteries, the charger or the model to adverse environmental conditions (eg wetness, high or low ambient tempera-
ture, sources of ignition or open fire, dust, vapors, solvents)!
• Also avoid strong contamination as well as excessive mechanical stress on the battery, never tug on the connection cables!
• Never mix batteries and rechargeable batteries in one unit at the same time! Use only batteries or only rechargable batteries.
• If no brand-new batteries are used for the power supply of the transmitter, pay attention to a sufficient remaining capacity (battery tes-
ter).
• When using rechargeable batteries instead of batteries, the lower voltage (batteries = 1.5V, rechargeable batteries = 1.2V) and the lower
capacity of rechargeable batteries must be used with a reduction in the operating time and so on. Also with range problems.
• Always replace the complete set of batteries, not just individual cells. Always use batteries of the same type and manufacturer.
• Do not mix batteries with different charge levels. The weaker batteries / rechargeable batteries with lower capacity could be deep-dischar-
ged and leak.
• When inserting batteries or rechargeable batteries into the battery holder, ensure correct polarity.
• Incorrect polarity will damage not only your model, but also the battery. Batteries / accumulators must never be short-circuited, dama-
ged, disassembled or thrown into open fire.
There is a risk of fire and explosion!
Disconnect the battery immediately from the charger when the battery is hot!
If the model is not used for a long time, remove the inserted batteries or rechargeable batteries from the remote control unit and from the model in
order to avoid damage from discharged / deep discharged batteries.
Notes On Charging
• Take a look on the seperate manual with the charging instruction for the charger and the instructions of the battery manufacturer.
• Only charge suitable batteries, conventional alkaline batteries must not be charged. There is a risk of explosion.
• Only charge batteries with the same design type and capacity. Also ensure correct polarity for all electrical connections while connec-
ting the batteries to a charger.
• Only charge batteries under supervision, on a flame retardant surface and ensure a proper distance to flamable surfaces or objects.
• Regularly check the battery‘s temperature during the charging process.
• Excessive heating of the battery (> 50 ° C) can damage it. Then decrease the charging current.
• Already loaded or not fully unloaded batteries must not be connected and charged.
• Never charge/discharge damaged, leaked or deformed batteries. There is a risk of fire and/or explosion!
• After usage, disconnect the battery and remove it from the model.
Charge the battery/ies immediately before use. Never charge them:
• in the model
• in your motor vehicle
• unattended
• with chargers that are not suitable
• Charge battery only on fireproof surfaces
