Safety instructions for 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 batteries. There is a risk of fire and explosion! Only charge rechargeable
batteries intended for this purpose. Use suitable battery chargers. Batteries (1.5 V) are meant to
be used once only and must be properly disposed of when empty.
-
When inserting batteries/rechargeable batteries or when connecting a battery pack or a charger,
observe the correct polarity (plus/+ and minus/-).
-
Wrong polarity may damage the transmitter, the airplane and the rechargeable batteries. There
also is a risk of fire and explosion.
-
Never leave batteries unattended while charging them.
-
Always replace the entire set of batteries or rechargeable batteries in the transmitter. Never mix
fully charged batteries/rechargeable batteries with partially discharged ones. Always use
batteries or rechargeable batteries of the same type and manufacturer. Never mix batteries and
rechargeable batteries!
-
If not used for a longer period of time (e.g. for storage), remove the batteries (or rechargeable
batteries) inserted in the transmitter to avoid
damage from leaking batteries/rechargeable batteries.
Special information for Lithium Polymer – Batteries
- After the flight, the flight battery must be disconnected from the model. Do not leave the flight
battery connected to the model if you do not use it (e.g. during transport or storage). Otherwise,
the flight battery may be fully discharged and is thus destroyed/unusable!
- Remove the flight battery that is to be charged from the model and place it on a fire-proof
support. Keep a distance to flammable objects.
- Only use a suitable charger with balancer for charging the LiPo flight battery. Observe the
information of the charger manufacturer, read
the operating instructions very carefully.
Disconnect the flight battery from the charger when the rechargeable battery is fully charged.
- Never charge the enclosed flight battery immediately after use. Always let the flight battery to
cool down until it has reached room or
ambient temperature again. The same applies for the charging process; this will cause the flight
battery to heat up.
- Only recharge the flight battery when it is intact and undamaged. If the external insulation of the
rechargeable battery is damaged or if the
rechargeable battery is deformed or bloated, it must not be charged. In this case, there is
immediate danger of fire and explosion!
- 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.
- Never damage the flight battery covering, do not cut the foil cover, do not probe the
rechargeable battery with sharp objects. There is a risk of fire and explosion!
- The flight battery must not get damp or wet. There is a risk of fire and explosion!
- Do not expose the flight battery to any high/low temperatures or to direct solar radiation.
