Note
• Non-rechargeable batteries are not to be recharged.
• Rechargeable batteries are only to be charged under adult super-
vision.
• Batteries/rechargeable batteries are to be inserted with the cor-
rect polarity.
• The connection cables are not to be short-circuited.
• regularly inspect the electronics or rechargeable batteries,
charger, connection plugs, cables, housings and other parts for
damage.
Never subject the transmitter, the
rechargeable batteries and the model to
adverse ambient conditions!
These are, for instance:
• Wetness, too-high humidity (> 75% rel., condensing). Do not
touch the battery charger with wet hands.
• Never operate the model right after it has been brought from
cold into warm surroundings. The resulting condensation can
destroy the device. Permit the device to attain the ambient
temperature while unconnected.
• Dust and flammable gases, vapours or solvents, benzenes
• Too-high ambient temperatures (> about +40°C), direct sunlight
• Open fire, ignition sources
• Mechanical stress such as shock, vibration
• Strong contamination
• Strong electromagnetic fields (motors or transformers) or
electrostatic fields (charges)
• Transmitters (radio telephones, transmitters for model building,
etc.). Transmitter emission can lead to the malfunction of
charging or to destruction of the battery charger and thereby
also of the rechargeable battery.
Permit the battery charger to cool down
between charging operations. Disconnect the
battery charger from the mains when charging
is completed.
A defective battery charger must no longer be opeated. If it is
assumed that the device is defective, i.e. if
• The device shows visible damage,
• The device no longer works and
• After longer storage under unfavourable conditions or
• After severe transportation stress, it must be switched off without
delay and secured against unintentional operation.
Dispose of the unusable (irreparable) battery charger according to
the applicable statutory regulations.
For safety and registration reasons (CE), the unauthorised conversion
and/or modification of the battery charger is not permitted.
Lithium-polymer battery
Use the enclosed rechargeable battery for this model only.
Only use a genuine part as a replacement battery.
• Do not overcharge or deep-discharge the battery! Both can
cause electrolyte to leak and lead to self-ignition.
• Never mix fully charged rechargeable batteries/batteries with
half-charged ones or rechargeable batteries with different capa-
cities.
• Charge the LiPo battery at least every six months in order to
avoid deep discharge.
• Remove the charged battery from the battery charger in order
to avoid self-discharge.
Defective rechargeable batteries/rechargeable batteries that can
no longer be charged must be disposed of as hazardous waste
(collection points). Disposal in the household waste is forbidden!
The batteries must not
• Be immersed in liquid,
• Be thrown in the fire or subjected to high temperatures or
• Mechanical stress or
• Be taken apart or damaged
• Or be short-circuited.
f you notice any smell, discolouration, excessive heating, defor-
mation or other abnormalities while using, charging or storing the
rechargeable battery:
• Disconnect the rechargeable battery from the battery charger
• Disconnect the rechargeable battery from the consumer
• No longer use the rechargeable battery.
If electrolyte leaks:
• Avoid contact with eyes and skin!
• Wash the affected locations immediately with clear water and
• Consult a physician.
