Battery Safety Instructions
•
Requires 4 x 1.5V AA Alkaline batteries (not included)
•
Batteries are small objects.
•
Replacing batteries must be undertaken by a competent adult.
•
Follow the polarity diagram ( + / - ) in the battery compartment.
•
Promptly remove dead/exhausted batteries from the controller.
•
Dispose of used batteries responsibly.
•
Remove batteries for prolonged storage.
•
DO NOT incinerate used batteries.
•
DO NOT dispose of batteries in fire, as batteries may explode or leak.
•
DO NOT mix new and old batteries or types of batteries (i.e. alkaline/standard).
•
DO NOT recharge non-rechargeable batteries.
•
DO NOT short circuit the supply terminals.
•
Rechargable batteries are NOT recommended.
LiPO Battery Instructions:
The helicopter has a pair of built in Lithium Polymer batteries. These batteries are light and powerful, as their
chemistry is based on lithium, a light and extremely volatile metal.
•
Never completely exhaust the battery.
When the helicopter starts to lose power, turn it off and
charge it as soon as practicable.
•
Never leave the helicopter unattended while charging.
•
Charge battery in an isolated, controlled environment. Keep far away from flammable materials.
•
Do not expose to direct sunlight: there is a risk that the battery may overheat, ignite and/or
explode.
•
Do not disassemble, modify, heat, or short circuit the battery. Don’t place it in fire or leave in hot
places or near heat sources.
•
Do not drop the battery or subject it to strong impacts.
•
Do not allow the battery to get wet.
•
Only charge the battery from the supplied charging equipment. Using other charging equipment
will void your warranty, may damage the battery and poses a risk of fire or explosion.
•
Use the battery only in this helicopter, and use only this battery in the helicopter.
•
Read these instructions carefully and thoroughly, and obey all guidelines herein.
•
In the unlikely event of leakage or explosion, use sand or a chemical fire extinguisher to extinguish
the batteries.
•
The battery must be disposed of responsibly.
If your high school chemistry teacher ever demonstrated what happens when sodium is placed in water
(“bam” is the technical description of the outcome) then you’re somewhat familiar with how volatile
lithium is – except that lithium is lighter (and therefore packs a bigger bang per gram) than sodium is!
Basically, obey all the guidelines and
respect the power of lithium!
