7. Battery and Rechargeable Battery Notes
Although use of batteries and rechargeable batteries in everyday life is a matter of course today,
there are many dangers and problems.
Ensure that you observe the following general information and safety information when handling
batteries and rechargeable batteries.
• Keep batteries/rechargeable batteries out of the reach of children.
• Do not leave any batteries/rechargeable batteries lying around openly. There is a risk of batteries being
swallowed by children or pets. If swallowed, consult a doctor immediately!
• Batteries/rechargeablebatteriesmustneverbeshort-circuited,disassembledorthrownintore.There
is a danger of explosion!
• Leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries can cause chemical burns to skin on contact;
therefore, use suitable protective gloves.
• Donotrechargenormalbatteries.Thereisariskofreandexplosion!Chargeonlyrechargeablebat-
teries intended for this; use suitable chargers. Batteries (1.5 V) are intended for one-time use only and
must be disposed of properly when discharged.
• Always observe the correct polarity when inserting batteries or connecting the charger (observe plus/+
and minus/-). Incorrect polarity will damage not only the transmitter but also the plane model and the
batteries.Thereisadangerofreandexplosion.
• Always replace the whole set of batteries. Do not mix full batteries with half-full ones. Always use batter-
ies/rechargeable batteries of the same type and manufacturer.
• Never mix batteries and rechargeable batteries! Therefore, only use batteries for the remote control
transmitter.
• If the device is not used for an extended period of time (e.g. storage), remove the inserted batteries from
the remote control to avoid damage from leaking batteries.
• Switchoffthehelicopterafteright.Donotleavethehelicopterswitchedonwhenyoudonotuseit(e.g.
duringtransportorstorage).Otherwise,theightbatterymaybefullydischargedandisthusdestroyed/
unusable!
• Neverchargetheightbatteryrightafteruse.Alwayslettheightbatterytocooldowninthehelicopter
until it has reached room or ambient temperature again.
• Only charge intact and undamaged batteries. If the outer isolation of the rechargeable battery is dam-
aged or the battery is deformed or bloated, it must not be charged. In this case, there is immediate
dangerofreandexplosion!
• Neverdamagetheoutershelloftheightbattery,donotcutthefoilcover,donotpuncturetheight
batterywithpointedobjects.Thereisariskofreandexplosion!
• Neverrechargetheightbatteryinthehelicopterunattended.
• Disconnect the helicopter from the charger (remote control transmitter/USB cable) when it is fully
charged.
