Manual MODSTER CITO

• Conventional alkaline batteries (1.5V) are intended for single use only and must then be properly disposed of.
• Dispose of empty batteries or defective batteries enivronmetally correctly at the authorized collection points. Disposal over household
waste is prohibited!
• Batteries must not become moist or wet. Also avoid the formation of condensation water.
• Never expose the batteries, the charger or the model to adverse environmental conditions (eg wetness, high or low ambient tempera-
ture, sources of ignition or open re, dust, vapors, solvents)!
• Also avoid strong contamination as well as excessive mechanical stress on the battery, never tug on the connection cables!
• Never mix batteries and rechargeable batteries in one unit at the same time! Use only batteries or only rechargable batteries.
• If no brand-new batteries are used for the power supply of the transmitter, pay attention to a sucient remaining capacity (battery tes-
ter).
• When using rechargeable batteries instead of batteries, the lower voltage (batteries = 1.5V, rechargeable batteries = 1.2V) and the lower
capacity of rechargeable batteries must be used with a reduction in the operating time and so on. Also with range problems.
• Always replace the complete set of batteries, not just individual cells. Always use batteries of the same type and manufacturer.
• Do not mix batteries with dierent charge levels. The weaker batteries / rechargeable batteries with lower capacity could be deep-dischar-
ged and leak.
• When inserting batteries or rechargeable batteries into the battery holder, ensure correct polarity.
• Incorrect polarity will damage not only your model, but also the battery. Batteries / accumulators must never be short-circuited, dama-
ged, disassembled or thrown into open re.
There is a risk of re and explosion!
Disconnect the battery immediately from the charger when the battery is hot!
If the model is not used for a long time, remove the inserted batteries or rechargeable batteries from the remote control unit and from the model in
order to avoid damage from discharged / deep discharged batteries.
Notes on charging
Charge the battery/ies immediately before use. Never charge them:
• in the model
• in your motor vehicle
• unattended
• with chargers that are not suitable
General Safety Notes
• Check that all screws are rmly seated, as they can be released by impacts and vibrations.
• Tires should not show cracks or damage.
• Check the connections for correct contact and damage.
Batteries
• Read the separate operating instructions of the charger used (not included in the scope of supply) and the specications for the battery
manufacturer carefully.
• Charge only batteries intended for this purpose; conventional alkaline batteries must not be charged. There is a risk of explosion.
• Charge only batteries of the same type and capacity. Pay attention to the correct polarity for all electrical connections as well as when
connecting the batteries to a charger.
• Charge batteries only under supervision, on a ame-retardant support, and keep sucient distance from ammable surfaces or objects.
• Check occasionally the temperature of the battery during the charging process. NiMH and NiCd batteries can heat very strongly, especi-
ally when the charging currents (> 1C) are high.
• If the battery is heated too much (> 50 ° C), it can be damaged. Then reduce the charging current.
• Batteries that are already charged or not fully discharged must not be connected and charged.
• Never charge / discharge damaged, leaked or deformed batteries. There is a risk of re or explosion!
• From an ecological point of view we point out the use of conventional batteries.
• If the model is not used, the battery must always be disconnected and removed from the model.
Charging set brushless models with a LiPo battery
• Repair and maintenance work may only be carried out by a qualied technician.
• Do not operate the unit unattended.
• Ensure sucient clearance between components to avoid mutual warming.
• Never cover the charger or the battery to prevent heat build-up due to lack of air circulation.
• To charge the batteries, connect the rechargeable battery as shown in the gure with the charger 2S of the balancer and connect the
charging unit to a socket (230 V).
• For safety reasons we recommend a charge bag (not included) to charge a LiPo battery!
• The load must never be unattended. In case of exceptional heat in the battery or deformation, immediately disconnect the mains plug!
• Never charge the battery on a combustible surface!
• Maintenance and regular checks
