• If you do not plan to use the model for an extended period (e.g. during storage), remove the batteries/
rechargeable batteries from the transmitter to prevent them from leaking and causing damage. Discon-
nect the drive battery and remove it from the model. Keep the batteries and drive battery in a cool, clean,
dry place out of the reach of children.
Install a smoke detector in the room. Batteries present a fire hazard and may generate toxic fumes.
This applies in particular to model batteries, which are subjected to high charging/discharge currents
and vibrations.
• Always exchange the entire set of batteries or rechargeable batteries in the transmitter. Do not mix full
batteries/rechargeable batteries with half-full ones. Always use batteries or rechargeable batteries of the
same type and from the same manufacturer. Never mix batteries with rechargeable batteries!
• When inserting batteries/rechargeable batteries into the transmitter or connecting the drive battery to
the model, pay attention to the polarity markings (plus/+ and minus/-) to ensure that the batteries are
connected in the correct polarity. Should you connect the rechargeable battery incorrectly, not only will
the model be damaged but also the battery. This may cause a fire or explosion!
• Do not expose the charger or drive battery to extremely high/low temperatures or direct sunlight.
• Batteries/rechargeable batteries must not become moist or wet. The same applies to the included USB
charger. The charger must only be used in dry, enclosed indoor areas.
Especially rechargeable batteries with lithium technology (e.g. LiPo rechargeable batteries) are fire and
explosion hazardous due to the high moisture sensitivity of the chemicals they contain.
• Before connecting the drive battery to the charger, completely disconnect it from the vehicle. Always
remove the drive battery from the model before charging it.
• Place the drive battery on a non-flammable, heat-resistant surface (e.g. a stone tile). Keep the charger
and drive battery away from flammable objects. Ensure sufficient space between the charger and the
drive battery; do not place the drive battery on or near the charger.
• Do not charge batteries when they are still hot (e.g. due to a high discharge current in the model). Allow
the battery to cool down to room temperature before charging it.
• 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!
• Never leave rechargeable batteries unattended when they are charging. Inspect the charger regularly to
ensure that the rechargeable battery is not overheating or expanding. This indicates an imminent risk of
fire or explosion! If the battery overheats or starts to expand, disconnect it from the charger immediately
and take it to a location where it will not cause any additional damage if it explodes or catches fire (e.g.
outdoors).
• Disconnect the drive battery from the charger when it is fully charged.
• Never damage the casing of a rechargeable battery.
• Never charge damaged, leaking or deformed rechargeable batteries. This may cause a fire or explosion!
Discontinue use immediately and dispose of such unusable rechargeable batteries in an environmentally
friendly manner.
• Rechargeable batteries should be charged regularly (approx. once every 2–3 months) to prevent deep
discharge due to self-discharge. This may render the rechargeable batteries useless!
Lithium rechargeable batteries usually retain their charge for several months. However, if the batteries
overdischarge, this will result in permanent damage and render them useless.
