waste is prohibited!
•
Batteries must not become moist or wet. Also avoid the formation of condensation water.
•
Never expose the batteries, the charger or the model to adverse environmental conditions (eg wetness, high or low ambient tempera-
ture, sources of ignition or open fire, dust, vapors, solvents)!
•
Also avoid strong contamination as well as excessive mechanical stress on the battery, never tug on the connection cables!
•
Never mix batteries and rechargeable batteries in one unit at the same time! Use only batteries or only rechargable batteries.
•
If no brand-new batteries are used for the power supply of the transmitter, pay attention to a sufficient remaining capacity (battery
tester).
•
When using rechargeable batteries instead of batteries, the lower voltage (batteries = 1.5V, rechargeable batteries = 1.2V) and the
lower capacity of rechargeable batteries must be used with a reduction in the operating time and so on. Also with range problems.
•
Always replace the complete set of batteries, not just individual cells. Always use batteries of the same type and manufacturer.
•
Do not mix batteries with different charge levels. The weaker batteries / rechargeable batteries with lower capacity could be
deep-discharged and leak.
•
When inserting batteries or rechargeable batteries into the battery holder, ensure correct polarity.
•
Incorrect polarity will damage not only your model, but also the battery. Batteries / accumulators must never be short-circuited, dama-
ged, disassembled or thrown into open fire.
•
For safety reasons, LiPo batteries have a minimum discharge voltage that should not be fallen short of. The electronic speed controller
is equipped with a built-in low voltage detection that gives the driver a warning signal when LiPo batteries have reached their mini-
mum voltage (discharge voltage). It is the driver's responsibility to stop driving immediately to prevent the battery from discharging
below the safety limit of its minimum voltage.
•
The low voltage detection on the speed controller is only one part of the extensive features for the safe operation of LiPo batteries in
your model. It is extremely important that you, the user, also follow all battery and charger manufacturer's instructions for safe char-
ging, operation and storage. Make sure you understand how to use your LiPo batteries. If you have any questions about the use of LiPo
batteries, please contact your local dealer or the battery manufacturer. As a reminder, all batteries should be recycled at the end of their
!
life.
There is a risk of fire and explosion!
Disconnect the battery immediately from the charger when the battery is hot!
If the model is not used for a long time, remove the inserted batteries or rechargeable batteries from the remote control unit and from the model in
order to avoid damage from discharged / deep discharged batteries.
Notes On Charging
•
Take a look on the seperate manual with the charging instruction for the charger and the instructions of the battery manufacturer.
•
Only charge suitable batteries, conventional alkaline batteries must not be charged. There is a risk of explosion.
•
Only charge batteries with the same design type and capacity. Also ensure correct polarity for all electrical connections while connec-
ting the batteries to a charger.
•
Only charge batteries under supervision, on a flame retardant surface and ensure a proper distance to flamable surfaces or objects.
•
Regularly check the battery's temperature during the charging process.
•
Excessive heating of the battery (> 50 ° C) can damage it. Then decrease the charging current.
•
Already loaded or not fully unloaded batteries must not be connected and charged.
•
Never charge/discharge damaged, leaked or deformed batteries. There is a risk of fire and/or explosion!
•
After usage, disconnect the battery and remove it from the model.
Charge the battery/ies immediately before use. Never charge them:
•
in the model
•
in your motor vehicle
•
unattended
•
with chargers that are not suitable
•
Charge battery only on fireproof surfaces
WARNING
•
Let the model cool down sufficiently between two trips. This is especially important if you are using high capacity batteries that will
allow the model to run longer. Monitoring the temperature will prolong the life of the batteries and the motor.
•
Do not continue to drive your model with weakly charged batteries to avoid losing control of the vehicle. Signs of a low battery are
slow operation, sluggish servos (slow return to centre position) or electronic speed control shutting down due to low voltage detection.
•
Do not drive your model at night, on public roads or in large crowds. - Stop accelerating if the model is stuck on an object. Move the
object out of the way before continuing. Do not attempt to pull or push objects with the model.
•
Because your model is radio controlled, it is subject to radio interference from many sources beyond your control. Radio interference
can cause temporary loss of radio control. Therefore, always keep a safe distance on all sides around your model to avoid collisions.
•
Use common sense whenever you drive your model. Intentionally driving in a violent and rough manner will only result in poor perfor-
