7. Notes on Batteries and Rechargeable Batteries

Despite the fact that handling batteries and rechargeable batteries in daily life nowadays is a matter of fact, there are still numerous dangers and
problems involved. For LiPo/LiIon rechargeable batteries in particular, due to their high energy content (in comparison to conventional NiCd or
NiMH rechargeable batteries), various regulations must be observed under any circumstances, because otherwise there is danger of explosion and
fire.
Ensure that you observe the following information and safety measures when handling batteries and rechargeable batteries.
• Keep batteries/rechargeable batteries out of the reach of children.
• Do not let batteries/rechargeable batteries lie 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!
• Leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries may cause acid burns when coming into contact with ski. Use suitable protective gloves.
• Do not recharge normal batteries. There is a risk of fire and explosion! Only charge rechargeable batteries intended for this purpose. Use suitable battery
chargers. Batteries (1.5 V) are meant to be used once only and must be properly disposed of when empty.
• When inserting batteries/rechargeable batteries or when connecting a battery pack or a charger, observe the correct polarity (note plus/+ and minus/-). Wrong
polarity may damage the transmitter, the airplane and the rechargeable batteries. There also is a risk of fire and explosion.
• Always replace the entire set of batteries or rechargeable batteries. Never mix full batteries/rechargeable batteries with half-full ones Always use batteries or
rechargeable batteries of the same type and manufacturer.
• Never mix batteries and rechargeable batteries! Either use batteries or rechargeable batteries for the remote control.
• If the device is not used for an extended period of time (e.g. storage), remove the inserted batteries (or rechargeable batteries) from the remote control to avoid
damage from leaking batteries/rechargeable batteries.
Attention! After the flight, the flight battery must be disconnected from the model. Do not leave the flight battery connected to the model if you do not use it (e.g.
during transport or storage). Otherwise, the flight battery may be fully discharged and is thus destroyed/unusable!
• Recharge the rechargeable batteries about every 3 months, because otherwise there may be a total discharge due to self-discharge, which makes the
rechargeable batteries useless.
• The supplied charger may only be used with the enclosed LiPo battery. Never try to use it for charging any other rechargeable batteries (NiCd or NiMH)! There
is a risk of fire and explosion! The charger is not suitable for charging batteries in the remote control transmitter!
• Never charge the enclosed flight battery immediately after use. Always let the flight battery to cool down until it has reached room or ambient temperature
again.
• Only charge intact and undamaged batteries. If the external insulation of the rechargeable battery is damaged or if the rechargeable battery is deformed or
bloated, it must not be charged. In this case, there is immediate danger of fire and explosion!
• Never damage the flight battery covering, do not cut the foil cover, do probe the rechargeable battery with sharp objects. There is a risk of fire and explosion!
• Remove the flight battery that is to be charged from the model and place it on a fire-proof support. Keep a distance to flammable objects.
• As the charger and the rechargeable flight battery both heat up during the charging procedure, it is necessary to ensure sufficient ventilation. Never cover the
charger or the helicopter battery! Of course, this also applies for all other chargers and rechargeable batteries.
• Never leave batteries unattended while charging them.
• Disconnect the flight battery from the charger when the rechargeable battery is fully charged.
• The charger and the flight battery must not become damp or wet. There is danger to life in form of electric shock; furthermore, there is danger of fire and
explosion from the rechargeable battery.
• The operation of the charger is only permitted in dry indoor rooms. Do not expose the charger or flight battery to high/low temperatures or to direct solar
radiation.
The remote control (transmitter) may be operated with rechargeable batteries instead of batteries.
However, the lower voltage (batteries=1.5 V, rechargeable batteries=1.2 V) and the lower capacity of rechargeable batteries do lead to a decrease
of the operating time. Normally this does not matter, since the operating time of the transmitter exceeds that of the model by far.
If you use batteries in the remote control, we recommend the use of high-quality alkaline batteries.
When rechargeable batteries are used, the range can be reduced.
