7. Information on Batteries and Rechargeable Batteries

Although use of batteries and rechargeable batteries in everyday life is a matter of course today,
there are many dangers and problems. Therefore, always observe the following information and
safety notes in handling of batteries and rechargeable batteries.
• Keep batteries/rechargeable batteries out of the reach of children.
• Do not leave any batteries/rechargeable batteries lying around openly. There is a risk of batteries being
swallowed by children or pets. If swallowed, consult a doctor immediately!
• Batteries/rechargeable batteries must never be short-circuited, disassembled or thrown into fire. There
is a danger of explosion!
• Leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries can cause chemical burns to skin at contact; there-
fore, use suitable protective gloves.
• Liquids leaking from batteries/rechargeable batteries are chemically highly aggressive. Objects or sur-
faces that come into contact with them may take severe damage. Therefore, keep batteries/recharge-
able batteries in a suitable location.
• Do not recharge normal, non-rechargeable batteries. There is a risk of fire and explosion! Charge only
rechargeable batteries intended for this; use suitable chargers.
Batteries (1.5 V) are intended for one-time use only and must be disposed of properly when discharged.
• Always observe the correct polarity when inserting batteries/rechargeable batteries into the transmitter
or connecting the flight battery (observe plus/+ and minus/-).
Incorrect polarity will damage not only the transmitter but also the plane model and the rechargeable
battery. There is a danger of fire and explosion.
• Always replace the whole set of batteries/rechargeable batteries in the transmitter. Do not mix full batter-
ies with half-full ones. Always use batteries/rechargeable batteries of the same type and manufacturer.
• Never mix batteries and storage batteries! Either use batteries or rechargeable batteries for the re-
mote 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.
• If the device is not used for an extended period of time (e.g. storage), remove the inserted batteries from
the remote control transmitter to avoid damage from leaking batteries.
• D o not leave the rechargeable flight battery connected to the plane model if the latter is not used (e.g.
during transport or storage). Otherwise, the flight battery may be fully discharged and is thus destroyed/
unusable!
• Remove the flight battery from the model plane for recharging.
• Never charge the flight battery right after use. Always leave the flight battery to cool off first (at least
5 - 10 minutes).
• Only charge intact and undamaged batteries. If the outer isolation of the rechargeable battery is dam-
aged or the battery is deformed or bloated, it must not be charged. In this case, there is immediate
danger of fire and explosion!
• Never leave batteries unattended while charging them.
