Instructions and warnings relating to the use of LiPo batteries
Please read the instruction sheet included with every battery pack for general information
on the use of LiPo batteries.
General warnings
These batteries must not come into contact with fire or ashes.
The cells must not be allowed to contact fluids such as fresh water, salt water or drinks.
Avoid contact with liquids of all types.
Individual cells and batteries are by no means toys, and must never be allowed to get into
the hands of children. Store cells and batteries well out of the reach of children.
Batteries must not be left within reach or in the vicinity of babies or toddlers. If a child
should swallow a battery, call for a doctor or emergency medical assistance without delay.
Batteries must not be placed in a microwave oven, nor subjected to pressure: the results
may be smoke and fire or worse.
Never attempt to dismantle Li-Po cells. Taking a battery apart can cause internal short-
circuits, which could result in gassing, fire, explosion and other problems.
The electrolyte and electrolytic vapours are injurious to health. Avoid direct contact with
the electrolyte at all costs. If the material gets in your eyes, on your skin or other part of
your body, it is essential to wash the affected area immediately with copious amounts of
clean water. Consult a doctor as soon as possible thereafter.
Batteries installed in a device should always be removed from the apparatus if it is not to
be used again in the immediate future. Always switch off such devices after use to avoid
discharging the cells to a dangerous level. Recharge the batteries in good time. Store
batteries on a non-flammable, heat-resistant and non-conductive surface.
If you allow a Li-Po battery to become deep-discharged, it will inevitably be ruined, and
must not be used again.
During construction
The receiving system components and control surface linkages should be installed at the
appropriate stage of assembly, as it may be very difficult or even impossible to fit them
later.
The building instructions
In basic terms the instructions reflect the correct sequence of assembly. The notes below
are intended to explain certain additional points.
You may wish to alter the order of assembly; this should not cause problems, but please
think carefully about the consequences of any change you make.
Bear in mind that tools such as balsa knives, modelling pins, the ends of thin wire etc. are
sharp or pointed, and can cause injury if not handled with due care.
Ensure that children do not have access to tools, adhesives and paints.
