9.1 General information

Keep batteries / rechargeable batteries out of reach of children.

Do not leave batteries / rechargeable batteries lying around, as they present a choking hazard for children and
pets. Seek immediate medical advice if a battery is swallowed!

Batteries/rechargeablebatteriesmustneverbeshortcircuited,disassembledorthrownintore.Thismaycause
anexplosion!

When handling leaking or damaged batteries / rechargeable batteries, always use suitable protective gloves to
avoid burning your skin.

Liquids leaking from batteries / rechargeable batteries are chemically highly aggressive. Objects or surfaces
coming into contact with these liquids could be severely damaged. Therefore, keep batteries / rechargeable
batteries in a suitable location.

Donotattempttorechargedisposable,non-rechargeablebatteries.Thismaycauseareorexplosion!Only
chargerechargeablebatterieswhichareintendedforthispurpose(1.2V);usesuitablebatterychargers.Batteries
(1.5 V) are designed to be used once and must be disposed of properly when they are empty.

Please observe the correct polarity when inserting batteries or connecting the rechargeable battery pack (observe
positive/+ and negative/-). Incorrect polarity will not only damage the transmitter, model and rechargeable batte-
ries.Itmayalsocauseareorexplosion.

Ifyoudonotplantousethemodelforanextendedperiod(e.g.duringstorage),removethebatteriefromthe
remotecontroltopreventthemfromleakingandcausingdamage.Firstdisconnectandthenremovetheight
batteryfromthemodel.Storebatteriesandtheightbatteryinadry,clean,coolplaceoutofthereachofchildren.

Afteruse,unplugtheightbatteryandtakeitoutofthemodel.Donotleavetheightbatteryinthemodelwhen
you are not using it (e.g. during transport or storage). Otherwise, this may cause deep discharge or permanent
damagetotheightbattery.

Neverchargethehelicopterbatteryimmediatelyafteruse.Alwaysallowtheightbatterytocooldownuntilithas
reached room or ambient temperature again.
9.2 Additional information about lithium rechargeable batteries
Modernlithiumrechargeable batteries aremuchmore powerfulandsignicantlylighter thanNiMHrechargeable
batteries. This makes lithium rechargeable batteries (especially lithium polymer batteries) particularly suitable for use
in model making.
However, lithium rechargeable batteries require particular care to ensure safe charging/discharging, operation and
handling.
The following section provides an overview of the potential hazards associated with lithium rechargeable batteries and
explainshowthesehazardscanbeavoidedtoensurealonglifespan.

Thecasingofmanylithiumrechargeablebatteriesismadeofathicklm,whichisverysensitive.Donotdismant-
le, damage, drop or insert any objects into lithium rechargeable batteries! Do not apply mechanical loads or pull
ontherechargeablebattery’sconnectioncables.Thismaycauseareorexplosion!

Ensure that the rechargeable battery does not overheat during use, recharging, discharging, transport or storage.
Donotplacetherechargeablebatterynexttosourcesofheat(e.g.aspeedcontrollerormotor)Thetemperature
oftherechargeablebatterymustnotexceed+60°C.(Ifnecessaryfollowadditionalmanufacturerspecications
for the rechargeable battery!).

Use special carry bags to carry LiPo rechargeable batteries, which can lessen the consequences of a sudden
reorexplosion.

If there are any signs of damage or the outer casing starts to swell or bloat, discontinue use immediately.
