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.
The helicopter is delivered without batteries and charging device. Nevertheless, we are including extensi-
ve information on handling batteries for safety reasons. Please observe the manufacturer's information
included with the rechargeable batteries.

a) Transmitter

• 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!
• Leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries may cause acid burns when coming into contact with skin.
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.
• When inserting batteries/rechargeable batteries or when connecting a battery pack observe correct polarity (note
plus/+ and minus/-).
• 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.
• Recharge the NiCd or NiMH rechargeable batteries about every 3 months, because otherwise there may be a total
discharge due to self-discharge, which makes the rechargeable batteries useless.
• Always replace the entire set of batteries or 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.
• Never mix batteries and rechargeable batteries!

b) Flight Battery

Attention!
After the flight, the LiPo flight battery must be disconnected from the helicopter speed control. Do not leave
the LiPo flight battery connected to the helicopter speed control when you do not use it (e.g. during transport
or storage). Otherwise the LiPo flight battery may be fully discharged. This would destroy it and render it
unusable! There is also a danger of malfunction due to interferences. The rotors could start up inadvertently
and cause damage or injury.
• Never charge the LiPo flight battery immediately after use. Always leave the LiPo flight battery to cool off first (at least
10-15 minutes).
