7. Information relevant to batteries and
 rechargeable batteries
Despite the fact that handling batteries and rechargeable batteries in daily life nowadays is a matter of fact,
there are still numerous dangers and problems involved. In particular with LiPo/LiIon rechargeable batteries
with their high energy content (in comparison with conventional NiCd or NiMH rechargeable batteries)
various regulations must be imperatively observed as otherwise there is danger of explosion and fire.
The helicopter is delivered without rechargeable batteries and charger. Still, for safety reasons we want to
provide detailed information about the handling of batteries and rechargeable batteries. Also observe all
information enclosed by the manufacturer.
a) Transmitter
• Batteries/rechargeable 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 NiCd or NiMH rechargeable batteries about every 3 months, as otherwise there may be a total discharge
due to self-discharge, which makes the rechargeable batteries useless.
• Always replace 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 rechargeable batteries!
The operation of the remote control (transmitter) with rechargeable batteries instead of batteries is possible.
However, the low voltage (batteries=1.5 V, rechargeable batteries=1.2 V) and the lower capacity of
rechargeable batteries do 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 helicopter.
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.
