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, 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re.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re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reandexplosion.
• Alwaysreplacetheentiresetofbatteriesorrechargeablebatteries.Donotmixfullbatterieswithhalf-fullones.
