If this is the case, stop driving immediately, switch off the vehicle first and then the transmitter. Recharge the re-
chargeable battery of the vehicle.
• Operation of the vehicle will cause the motor, receiver/controller unit and rechargeable battery to heat up. Do not
touch the motor and receiver/speed controller until they have cooled down; danger of burns!

Information on Batteries and Rechargeable Batteries

a) General Information
Although use of batteries and rechargeable batteries in everyday life is a matter of course today, there are
many dangers and problems. In particular in lithium batteries with high energy content (as compared to
conventional NiMH batteries), various provisions must be complied with to avoid danger of explosion and
fire.
Therefore, always observe the following information and safety notes in handling of batteries and recharge-
able 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 fire. There is a danger
of explosion!
• Batteries/rechargeable batteries must not get damp or wet.
• Always observe the correct polarity (plus/+ and minus/-).
• Leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries can cause chemical burns to skin. Wear suitable protective
gloves when handling them.
• Liquids leaking from batteries/rechargeable batteries are chemically highly aggressive. Objects or surfaces that
come into contact with them may take severe damage. Therefore, keep batteries/rechargeable batteries in a suit-
able location.
• Never charge rechargeable batteries unattended.
• Never recharge normal (non-rechargeable) batteries. There is a risk of fire and explosion! Only charge rechargeable
batteries intended for this purpose. Use suitable battery chargers.
• Never charge the battery right after use. Always leave the rechargeable batteries to cool off first (at least 5 - 10
minutes) before starting to charge.
• Only charge intact and undamaged batteries. If the outer isolation of the rechargeable battery or battery housing is
damaged or the battery is deformed or bloated, it must not be charged. In this case, there is immediate danger of
fire and explosion!
• Never mix batteries and rechargeable batteries!
• Never mix fully charged batteries/rechargeable batteries with partially discharged ones. Always use batteries or
rechargeable batteries of the same type and manufacturer.
• Recharge the rechargeable batteries regularly (about every 2 - 3 months), since deep discharge may result other-
wise, which will damage the rechargeable batteries.
