7. 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 on contact; therefore, use
suitable protective gloves.
• Do not recharge normal batteries. There is a risk of fire and explosion! Charge only rechargeable batteries intended
for this; use suitable chargers.
• Always observe correct polarity (po and negative/-) when inserting the batteries/rechargeable batteries.
• If the device is not used for an extended period of time (e.g. storage), remove the inserted batteries/rechargeable
batteries from the remote control and the car to avoid damage from leaking batteries/rechargeable batteries.
• Recharge the rechargeable batteries about every 3 months. Otherwise, so-called deep discharge may result, ren -
dering the rechargeable batteries useless.
• Always replace the entire set of batteries or rechargeable batteries. Never mix fully charged batteries/rechargeable
batteries with partially discharged ones. Always use batteries or rechargeable batteries of the same type and manu-
facturer.
• Never mix batteries and rechargeable batteries!
• For reasons of operational safety, only use batteries and rechargeable batteries for the remote control transmitter.
8. Charging Rechargeable Batteries
If you use rechargeable batteries for power supply of the receiver, they are usually flat at delivery and must be
charged.
Note:
Before a rechargeable battery reaches maximum capacity, several complete discharge and charge cycles
are necessary.
Always discharge the rechargeable battery at regular intervals, since charging a „half-full“ rechargeable bat-
tery several times can cause a so-called lazy battery effect. This means that the rechargeable battery loses
capacity. It no longer provides all of its stored energy, and the operating time of the model is reduced.
If you use several rechargeable batteries, purchasing a high-quality charger may be worthwhile. Such a
charger usually has a quick-charging feature.
