7. Battery information
•
Keep batteries out of the reach of children.
•
Do not leave batteries lying around, as they present a choking hazard for children and pets. Seek im-
mediate medical advice if a battery is swallowed.
• Batteries/rechargeable batteries must never be short-circuited, taken apart or thrown into fire. This may
cause an explosion!
•
When handling leaking or damaged batteries, always use suitable protective gloves to avoid burning
your skin.
• Do not attempt to recharge disposable, non-rechargeable batteries. This may cause a fire or explosion!
Only recharge compatible rechargeable batteries and ensure that you use a suitable battery charger.
•
Please observe correct polarity (plus/+ and minus/-) when inserting the batteries/rechargeable batteries.
•
If the device is not used for a longer period of time (e.g. storage), remove the batteries/rechargeable
batteries from the remote control and from the model to avoid damage from leaking batteries/recharge-
able batteries.
•
Rechargeable batteries should be charged at least once every three months to prevent damage due to
deep discharge.
•
Always replace the entire set of batteries or rechargeable batteries. Do not mix full batteries with half-full
ones. Always use batteries of the same type and from the same manufacturer.
•
Never mix non-rechargeable batteries with rechargeable batteries.
•
For reasons of operational safety, only use disposable batteries for the remote control transmitter. Do
not use rechargeable batteries.
8. Receiver power supply
The receiver can either be operated directly via the BEC circuit of the speed controller or via a separate receiver power
supply. The latter can be realised with four AA/Mignon rechargeable batteries or four batteries. Alternatively, a 4- or
5-cell NiMH receiver battery pack can be used.
If you use rechargeable batteries to power the receiver, they will generally be empty upon delivery and will
need to be recharged.
Before the rechargeable battery delivers its maximum power, several complete discharge and charge cy-
cles are necessary.
If you use several rechargeable batteries, purchasing a high-quality charger may be worthwhile. They
normally charge rechargeable batteries quickly.
