7. Notes on Batteries and Rechargeable Batteries
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! Only charge rechargeable batteries (1.2 V)
intended for this purpose. Use suitable battery 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 batteries/rechar-
geable 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.
Attention!
After ying, switch off the ight battery and remove the ight battery from the quadrocopter. Do not leave
the ight battery in the quadrocopter when you are not using the model (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 until it has reached room or
ambient temperature again.
• Only charge intact and undamaged ight batteries. If the outer isolation of the rechargeable battery is damaged or
the battery is deformed or bloated, it must not be charged. There is acute danger of re or 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 rechargeable battery unattended.
• Disconnect the ight battery from the charger when it is charged completely.
