Information About Batteries/Rechargeable Batteries - ModelCraft 20 50 22 Bedienungsanleitung

•
Operate your model in an area where you do not endanger other people, animals or objects. Only operate it on private premises or
places which are specifically designated for this purpose.
•
In case of a fault, stop operating your model straight away and remove the cause of malfunction before you continue to use the model.
•
Do not operate your RC system during thunderstorms, under high-voltage power lines or in the proximity of radio masts.
•
Always leave the remote control (transmitter) turned on, as long as the model is in operation. For turning the model off, always switch
off the motor first, and then switch off the receiver system. Only then can the remote control transmitter be turned off.
•
Protect your model and the remote control from dampness and bad mudding.
•
Do not expose your model and the remote control to direct sunlight or excessive heat for a longer period of time.
•
In the case of low batteries (or rechargeable batteries) in the remote control, the range decreases. If the battery in the receiver is low,
the model does not react correctly to the commands of the remote control any more.
•
If this is the case, stop the operation immediately. You should then replace the batteries by new ones or recharge the (rechargeable)
batteries.
•
Do not take any risks when operating the product! Your own safety and that of your environment is solely down to you being responsi-
ble when dealing with the model.

7. Information about batteries/rechargeable batteries

•
Keep batteries out of reach of children.
•
Do not let batteries lie around openly. There is a risk of batteries being swallowed by children or pets. In such a case, seek instant
medical care!
•
Batteries/rechargeable batteries must never be short-circuited, taken apart or thrown into fire. They might explode!
•
Leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries might cause acid burns when getting into contact with skin, therefore, use
suitable protective gloves.
•
Conventional batteries must not be re-charged. Danger of fire and explosion! Only charge rechargeable batteries which are intended
for this purpose; use suitable battery chargers.
•
Please observe correct polarity (positive/+ and negative/-) when inserting the batteries/rechargeable batteries.
•
If the device is not used for a longer period of time (e.g. during storage), take out the batteries/rechargeable batteries inserted in the
remote control and in the car to avoid damage from leaking batteries.
•
Recharge the rechargeable battery about every 3 months, as otherwise there may a so-called deep discharge due to the self-dischar-
ge, which makes rechargeable batteries useless.
•
Always exchange the entire set of batteries. Do not mix full batteries/rechargeable batteries with half-full ones. Always use batteries or
rechargeable batteries of the same type and manufacturer.
•
Never mix conventional and rechargeable batteries! Either use batteries or rechargeable batteries for the remote control.
•
It is possible to operate the remote control (transmitter) with rechargeable batteries instead of conventional batteries.
However, the lower voltage (batteries=1.5 V, rechargeable batteries=1.2 V) and the lower capacity of rechargeable
batteries lead to a decrease in the operating time. Usually this does not matter, since the operating time of the trans-
mitter is much longer than that of the model.
If you use conventional batteries in the remote control, we recommend the use of high-quality alkaline batteries.
When using rechargeable batteries the range might be reduced.
