6. Notes on Batteries and Rechargeable Batteries
• Keep batteries/rechargeable batteries out of the reach of children.
• Do not leave any batteries/rechargeable batteries lying around openly. There is a risk of batteries being swallowed
by children or pets. If swallowed, consult a doctor immediately!
• Batteries/rechargeable batteries must never be short-circuited, disassembled or thrown into fire. There is a danger
of explosion!
• Leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries can cause chemical burns to skin when touched without the
use of adequate protective gloves.
• Do not recharge normal (non-rechargeable) batteries. There is a risk of fire and explosion! Only charge recharge-
able batteries intended for this purpose. Use suitable battery chargers.
• Please observe correct polarity of batteries/rechargeable batteries and the connection of a rechargeable driving
battery (note plus/+ and minus/-) when inserting the batteries.
• To avoid damage caused by leaky batteries/rechargeable batteries, remove them when the device is not used over
a period of time (e.g. when stored). Disconnect the driving battery from the speed controller completely.
Recharge the rechargeable batteries about every 3 months, because otherwise there may be a total discharge due
to self-discharge, which makes the rechargeable batteries useless.
• Always replace the entire set of batteries or rechargeable batteries in the transmitter. Never mix fully charged batter-
ies/rechargeable batteries with partially discharged ones. Always use batteries or rechargeable batteries of the
same type and manufacturer.
• Never mix batteries and rechargeable batteries! Use only normal batteries or rechargeable batteries for the transmit-
ter.
• When using LiPo batteries in the vehicle, always observe the manufacturer’s information on handling or charging
LiPo batteries.
The transmitter can be operated with rechargeable instead of regular batteries.
However, the lower voltage (batteries=1.5V, rechargeable batteries=1.2V) and the lower capacity of re-
chargeable batteries does lead to a decrease in operating time. Usually this does not matter, as the oper-
ating time of the transmitter by far exceeds the operating time of the driving batteries in the vehicle.
When using batteries in the transmitter, we recommend the use of high-quality alkaline batteries.
