NOTES ON DISPOSAL OF ELECTRICAL AND
ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS
The electronic components of this product are
recyclable. For the sake of the environment, do not

SAFETY FOR EXPERIMENTS WITH BATTERIES
› The wires are not to be inserted into socket-outlets. Never
perform experiments using household current! The high voltage
can be extremely dangerous or fatal!
› To operate the models, you will need four AAA batteries (1.5-volt,
type LR03), which could not be included in the kit due to their
limited shelf life.
› The supply terminals are not to be short-circuited. A short circuit
can cause the wires to overheat and the batteries to explode.
› Different types of batteries or new and used batteries are not to
be mixed.
› Do not mix old and new batteries.
› Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc), or rechargeable
(nickel-cadmium) batteries.
› Batteries are to be inserted with the correct polarity (+ and -).
Press them gently into the battery compartment. See above.
The image shows how the batteries are inserted, removed, and
changed.
› Always close battery compartments with the lid.
› Non-rechargeable batteries are not to be recharged. They could
explode!
› Rechargeable batteries are to be removed from the device before
being charged.
› Exhausted batteries are to be removed from the device.
› Dispose of used batteries in accordance with environmental
provisions, not in the household trash.
› Avoid deforming the batteries.
› The device is not to be connected to more than the recommended
number of power supplies.
› As all of the experiments use batteries, have an adult check
the experiments or models before use to make sure they are
assembled properly. Always operate the motorized models
under adult supervision. After you are done experimenting,
remove the batteries from the device compartments.
