7. Battery safety information

Batteries present numerous safety hazards. Compared with conventional NiMH batteries, lithium
batteries have a high energy content. For this reason, it is essential to comply with safety
regulations to prevent the risk of a fire or explosion.
Always observe the following safety information when handling batteries.
a) General information
• Keep batteries out of the reach of children.
• Do not leave batteries lying around, as they present a choking hazard for children and pets. Seek im-
mediate medical advice if a battery is swallowed.
• Batteries must never be short circuited, taken apart or thrown into a fire. Risk of explosion!
• When handling leaking or damaged batteries, always use suitable protective gloves to avoid burning
your skin.
• Liquids leaking from batteries are very chemically aggressive. Objects or surfaces coming into contact
with these liquids could be severely damaged. Always store batteries in a suitable location that is not
prone to damage.
• Do not attempt to recharge disposable, non-rechargeable batteries. This may cause a fire or explosion!
Only charge rechargeable batteries which are intended for this purpose; use suitable rechargeable bat-
tery chargers.
• Please observe the correct polarity of batteries (note positive/+ and negative/-) when inserting the bat-
teries and when connecting a rechargeable drive battery.
• Never mix disposable batteries with rechargeable batteries. The transmitter can be powered with dispos-
able or rechargeable batteries.
• Always replace the entire set of batteries in the transmitter. Do not mix full batteries with half-full ones.
Always use batteries of the same type and from the same manufacturer.
• The type of battery charger that you require may vary according to the type of rechargeable battery
(NiMH, LiPo, lithium-ion, etc.). Never charge e.g. LiPo batteries with a NiMH battery charger! This may
cause a fire or explosion!
Always charge the supplied drive batteries (and any identical replacement drive batteries) with the sup-
plied battery charger; always use the supplied power adapter for the voltage/power supply to the battery
charger.
• In the event that a lithium battery is overcharged, it can cause the battery to swell or even cause a fire
or an explosion! The supplied battery charger terminates the charging process automatically when the
battery has been fully charged.
• Only charge intact and undamaged batteries. Do not charge batteries if the external insulation or battery
housing is damaged or if the battery is deformed or swollen. This may cause a fire or explosion!
• Never charge batteries immediately after use. Always allow them to cool for at least 5 - 10 minutes.
• Always remove the drive battery from the model before charging it.
• Place the battery charger on a heat-resistant, non-combustible surface.
