• Never use battery packs made up of different cells.
• Never leave the charging/discharging rechargeable batteries unattended.
• Never recharge a battery directly in the model. Always remove the rechargeable
battery from the model for recharging.
• Always observe correct polarity (plus/+ and minus/-) when connecting the recharge -
able battery to your model or charger. Connecting the battery incorrectly will not
only damage the model but also the rechargeable battery. There is a risk of fire and
explosion!
This charger has a mechanism that protects against connecting the poles incor-
rectly. Nonetheless, it is possible that an incorrectly connected battery may lead to
damage in certain situations.
• If the product is not to be used for an extended period of time (e.g. storage), dis -
connect any connected rechargeable battery from the charger and disconnect the
charger from the voltage/current supply.
The charger has no mains switch. If you operate the charger via the mains cable,
pull the mains plug from the socket when you no longer need the charger.
• Do not charge/discharge any battery that is still hot (e.g. caused by high discharg -
ing current from the model). Allow the rechargeable battery to cool down to room
temperature before attempting to charge or discharge it.
• Never damage the exterior cover of a battery. There is a risk of fire and explosion!
• Never charge/discharge damaged, leaking or deformed batteries. This can result in
a fire or explosion! Dispose of any unusable rechargeable batteries in an environ -
mentally compatible fashion. Do not continue to use them.
• Remove the rechargeable battery from the charger when it is fully charged.
• Recharge the rechargeable batteries about every 3 months. Otherwise, so-called
deep discharge may result, rendering the rechargeable batteries useless.
• Keep rechargeable batteries in a suitable location. Use a smoke detector in the
room. The risk of fire (or the occurrence of toxic smoke) cannot be excluded. Spe -
cial rechargeable batteries for the model construction area are subject to great
stress (e.g. high charging and discharging currents, vibrations, etc.).
