7. Information about batt./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 chil-
dren 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 batter-
ies/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-discharge, which makes rechargeable batteries use-
less.
• 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 batter-
ies 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 transmitter 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.
