7. Information relevant to batteries
and accumulators
• Batteries must be kept out of the reach of children.
• Do not let batteries/rechargeable batteries lie around openly. There is a risk of batteries being swallowed by children
or pets. In such a case, seek instant medical attention!
• Batteries/rechargeable batteries must never be short-circuited, taken apart or thrown into fire. There is a risk of
explosion!
• Leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries may cause acid burns when coming into contact with skin,
therefore use suitable protective gloves.
• Do not recharge normal batteries. There is a risk of fire and explosion! Only charge rechargeable batteries, which
are intended for this purpose; use suitable rechargeable 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 a longer 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 rechargeable battery about every 3 months, as otherwise, there may a so called deep discharge due
to the self-discharge, which can make rechargeable batteries useless.
• Always exchange the entire set of batteries or rechargeable batteries. Do not mix full batteries/rechargeable batteries
with half-full ones Always use batteries or rechargeable batteries of the same type and manufacturer.
• Never mix batteries and storage batteries! Either use batteries or rechargeable batteries for the remote control
transmitter.
The operation of the remote control (transmitter) with rechargeable batteries instead of batteries is
possible.
However, the low voltage (batteries=1.5 V/cell, rechargeable batteries=1.2 V/cell) and the lower capacity
of rechargeable batteries does lead to a decrease of the operating time. However, normally this does
not matter, since the operating time of the transmitter is far beyond that of the model airplane.
If you use batteries in the remote control, we recommend the use of high-quality alkaline batteries.
When using rechargeable batteries there can be a decrease in range.
