4.1 General
■
The product is not a toy. Keep it out of the reach of children and pets.
■
Do not leave packaging material lying around carelessly. This may become dangerous
playing material for children.
■
If you have questions which remain unanswered by this information product, contact our
technical support service or other technical personnel.
■
Maintenance, modifications and repairs must only be completed by a technician or an
authorised repair centre.
4.2 Personal safety
■
Do not wear metal jewellry. Metal jewellry can short circuit charger or battery contacts
and cause skin burns, fire or explosion.
4.3 Battery safety - LiPo/Li-ion/LiHv/LiFe/Pb
■
Keep batteries away from children. Batteries are not toys.
■
Rechargeable batteries must not become wet or damp.
■
The outer shell of LiPo rechargeable batteries normally consists only of a very thick film
and is extremely sensitive.
4.3.1 Preventing fire and explosion
■
Do not short circuit rechargeable batteries to prevent fire and explosion.
■
Keep rechargeable batteries away from fire. Do not throw rechargeable batteries into
fire. Fire can cause rechargeable batteries to explode.
■
Keep rechargeable batteries in their original state. Modifying or disassembling can cause
rechargeable batteries to catch fire or explode.
■
Never destroy or damage the rechargeable battery, do not drop it or puncture it with any
objects. Protect the rechargeable battery from mechanical stresses and do not pull on its
connection cables! This may cause a fire or explosion!
■
Make sure that the rechargeable battery does not overheat during use, charging, dis-
charging, transport and storage. Do not place the rechargeable battery near heat
sources (e.g. model control, motor) and protect it from direct sunlight. This may cause
the battery to overheat, which can cause a fire or explosion!
■
Place the rechargeable battery on a non-flammable, heat-resistant surface (example:
stone tiles) while charging/discharging.
■
Stop using the rechargeable battery if it is damaged (for example after a crash) or if its
outer shell is bloated/swollen. Do not recharge it. This may cause a fire or explosion!
■
Use only a suitable charger/discharger to charge/discharge lithium rechargeable batter-
ies and observe the correct charging method. Do not use conventional chargers/dischar-
gers for lithium rechargeable batteries in order to avoid fire and explosion hazards!
4.3.2 Charging and discharging
■
Always follow the manufacturer instructions of the rechargeable battery.
■
The discharge current must not exceed the value printed on the rechargeable battery.
■
Charge LiPo rechargeable batteries with a charging current of max. 1 C (unless other-
wise stated by the battery manufacturer!).
■
When charging lithium rechargeable batteries with more than one cell, use a “balancer".
■
Do not charge/discharge rechargeable batteries directly in the model. First, remove re-
chargeable batteries from the model.
■
The temperature of the rechargeable battery must not exceed +60 °C (also note all other
manufacturer information!).
4.3.3 Leaking batteries
■
Rechargeable batteries can leak when they are abused, damaged, not used as intended,
or old. Battery liquid of rechargeable batteries can cause skin and eye irritation, and
damage objects and surfaces. Observe the following when you handle leaking re-
chargeable batteries:
– Use protective gloves and eye protection.
– If contact with skin occurs, rinse affected areas with plenty of lukewarm water. Visit a
doctor in case of skin irritation.
– If contact with eyes occurs, rinse the eyes with plenty of lukewarm water and visit a
doctor.
4.3.4 Storage
■
Store rechargeable batteries in suitable storage containers in a cool and dry environ-
ment. Proper storage of rechargeable batteries reduces hazards.
4.4 Operating environment
■
Do not place the product under any mechanical stress.
■
Protect the appliance from extreme temperatures, strong jolts, flammable gases, steam
and solvents.
■
Protect the product from high humidity and moisture.
■
Protect the product from direct sunlight.
■
Do not switch the product on after it has been taken from a cold to a warm environment.
The condensation that forms might destroy the product. Allow the product to reach room
temperature before you use it.
■
Only use the product in temperate climates. Tropical climates increase the risk of electric
shock.
4.5 Work area safety
■
Secure the work area to keep children out. Children are unable to fully understand the
risks involved with battery chargers.
■
Keep the work area clean. Dust and dirt increase the risk of electric shock.
■
Keep the work area dry. Water and high humidity increase the risk of electric shock.
■
Do not operate the charger in explosive atmospheres where flammable liquids, gases or
dust are present. Sparks can ignite fumes or dust.
■
Keep the work area free of combustible/inflammable materials such as paper or curtains.
Place the charger on a heat-resistant surface. Heat produced by the charger can ignite
combustible or inflammable materials.
■
Do not place any containers filled with liquid (example: vases or plants) on or next to the
charger. There is a high risk of electric shock when liquid enters the charger. If liquid
enters the charger, disconnect the power supply and do not use the charger again.
4.6 Operation
■
Consult an expert when in doubt about the operation, safety or connection of the appli-
ance.
■
If it is no longer possible to operate the product safely, take it out of operation and pro-
tect it from any accidental use. DO NOT attempt to repair the product yourself. Safe op-
eration can no longer be guaranteed if the product:
– is visibly damaged,
– is no longer working properly,
– has been stored for extended periods in poor ambient conditions or
– has been subjected to any serious transport-related stresses.
4.6.1 Before charging
■
Do not charge non-rechargeable batteries. There is a risk that non-rechargeable batter-
ies catch fire or explode when they are charged.
■
Only charge rechargeable batteries supported by the charger. Ensure the charger is de-
signed to charge the rechargeable battery before you connect it.
■
Do not charge damaged rechargeable batteries. Charging damaged rechargeable batter-
ies increases the risk of fire and explosion.
■
Charge rechargeable batteries after they have reached room temperature. Hot re-
chargeable batteries are not safe to be charged.
4.6.2 Connections
■
Turn off the power to the charger before connecting or disconnecting rechargeable bat-
teries.
