7. Battery information

Although batteries and rechargeable batteries are very useful in our everyday life, nevertheless
they present numerous safety hazards. Therefore, always observe the following general informa-
tion and safety instructions when handling batteries and rechargeable batteries.
• Keep batteries/rechargeable batteries out of reach of children.
• Do not leave batteries/rechargeable batteries lying around, as they present a choking hazard for children
and pets. Seek immediate medical advice if a battery is swallowed!
• When handling rechargeable batteries, observe the safety information provided by the battery manu-
facturer.
• Remove the drive battery to be charged from the model and place it on a fireproof surface. Keep the
battery away from flammable objects.
• Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation, as the drive battery and charger may heat up during the charg-
ing process. Never cover the charger and the drive battery! Of course, this also applies for all other
chargers and rechargeable batteries.
• Never leave rechargeable batteries unattended when they are charging.
• Do not expose the charger or drive battery to extremely high/low temperatures or direct sunlight.
• Disconnect the drive battery from the charger when it is fully charged.
• Chargers must only be used in dry, indoor rooms. The charger and the drive battery must not get damp
or wet.
• Batteries/rechargeable batteries must never be short-circuited, disassembled or thrown into fire. This
may cause an explosion!
• When handling leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries, always use suitable protective
gloves to avoid burning your skin.
• Liquids leaking from batteries/rechargeable batteries are chemically highly aggressive. Objects or sur-
faces coming into contact with these liquids could be severely damaged. Therefore, keep batteries/
rechargeable batteries in a suitable location.
• Do not recharge regular batteries. This may cause a fire or explosion! Only charge rechargeable batter-
ies which are intended for this purpose; use suitable battery chargers. Batteries are meant to be used
once only and must be properly disposed of when empty.
• The type of charger you require may vary depending on the type of rechargeable battery (NiMH, LiPo....).
Never use the NiMH battery charger to charge e.g. LiPo rechargeable batteries or vice versa! This
may cause a fire or explosion! The included plug-in charger is only suitable for charging a 4-cell NiMH
rechargeable battery (e.g. the included NiMH drive battery).
• Always ensure that the batteries are inserted and connected to the charger with the correct polarity
(observe the plus/+ and minus/- symbols). Incorrect polarity will not only damage the transmitter, model
and rechargeable batteries. It may also cause a fire or explosion.
• If you are not going to use the model boat for a long time (e.g. during storage), remove the battery from
the remote control to avoid damage from a leaking battery.
