• Never switch off the remote control (transmitter) while the model is in use. After landing, always disconnect the flight
battery from the helicopter before switching off the remote control.
• Never switch off the remote control while the model helicopter is still connected to the flight battery.
• Never expose your model or the remote control to direct sunlight or excessive heat for an extended period of time.

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, in particular when handling LiPo batteries.
Ensure that you observe the following general information and safety information when handling 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; therefore, use
suitable protective gloves.
• Never recharge normal (non-rechargeable) batteries. There is a risk of fire and explosion! Only charge rechargeable
batteries (1.2 V) intended for this purpose. Use suitable battery chargers.
Non-rechargeable batteries (1.5 V) are meant to be used once only and must be disposed of properly when emp-
ty.
• Always observe the correct polarity when inserting batteries or connecting the charger (observe plus/+ and minus/-).
Incorrect polarity will damage not only the transmitter but also the plane model and the batteries. There is a danger
of fire and explosion.
• Always replace the entire set of batteries or rechargeable batteries. Do not mix full batteries with half-full ones.
Always use batteries/rechargeable batteries of the same type and manufacturer.
• Never mix batteries and rechargeable batteries! Either use batteries or rechargeable batteries for the remote cont-
rol.
• If the device is not used for an extended 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.
Attention!
After the flight, disconnect the flight battery from the helicopter. Do not leave the rechargeable flight battery
connected to the helicopter if the model is not used (e.g. during transport or storage). Otherwise, the flight
battery may be fully discharged and is thus destroyed/unusable!
• Only charge intact and undamaged flight batteries. If the outer isolation of the rechargeable battery is damaged or
the battery is deformed or bloated, it must not be charged. There is acute danger of fire or explosion!
• Recharge the rechargeable batteries about every 3 months. Otherwise, so-called deep discharge may result, ren-
dering the rechargeable batteries useless.
