7. Battery information
Batteries present numerous safety hazards.
Always observe the following general information and safety information when handling batteries.
• Keep batteries out of the reach of children.
• Do not leave batteries lying around, as they present a choking hazard for children and pets. Seek im-
mediate medical advice if a battery is swallowed.
• Batteries/rechargeablebatteriesmustneverbeshort-circuited,takenapartorthrownintore,asthis

• When handling leaking or damaged batteries, always use suitable protective gloves to avoid burning
your skin.
• Donotattempttorechargedisposable,non-rechargeablebatteries.Thismaycauseareorexplosion!
Only recharge compatible rechargeable batteries and ensure that you use a suitable battery charger.
Non-rechargeable batteries (1.5 V) are designed to be used once and must be disposed of properly
when they are empty.
• Always ensure that the batteries are inserted and connected to the charger in the correct polarity (ob-
serve the plus/+ and minus/- symbols). Inserting the batteries in the wrong polarity may damage the
remotecontrol,thehelicopterandthebatteries.Itmayalsocauseareorexplosion.
• Always exchange the entire set of batteries. Do not mix full batteries with half-full batteries. Always use
batteries of the same type and from the same manufacturer.
• Never mix disposable batteries with rechargeable batteries. Always use disposable batteries to power
the remote control.
• If you do not plan to use the model for an extended period (e.g. during storage), remove the batteries
from the remote control to prevent them from leaking and causing damage.
• Switch the helicopter off after landing and remove the helicopter battery. Do not leave the helicopter
switched on when it is not in use (e.g. during transport or storage). This may cause the helicopter battery
to overdischarge and permanently damage the battery.
• Never charge the helicopter battery immediately after use. Always leave the helicopter battery to cool
down until it has reached room/ambient temperature.
• Only charge intact and undamaged batteries. Do not charge the helicopter battery if the external insula-
tionorbatteryhousingisdamaged,orifthebatteryisdeformedorswollen.Thismaycauseareor
