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 in LiPo/LiIon batteries with high energy content (as compared
to conventional NiCd or NiMH batteries), various provisions must be complied with to avoid danger of
explosionandre.
The model is delivered with a rechargeable battery and a matching charger. Nevertheless, we are including
extensive information on handling batteries for safety reasons. Should you use your own accessories,
please ensure you follow all information enclosed by the respective manufacturer.
a) Transmitter
• 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 on contact;
therefore, use suitable protective gloves.
• Donotrechargenormalbatteries.Thereisariskofreandexplosion!
• Make sure that the polarity is correct when inserting the batteries (pay attention to plus/+ and minus/-).
• If the device is not used for an extended period of time (e.g. storage), remove the inserted batteries from
the remote control to avoid damage from leaking batteries.
• Always replace the whole set of 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!
b) Flight battery
Attention!
Aftertheight,theLiPoightbatterymustbedisconnectedfromtheelectronicssystemoftheightmodel.
DonotleavetheLiPoightbatteryconnectedtothehelicopterelectronicsystemwhenyoudonotusethe

This would destroy the rechargeable battery and render it unusable! There is also a danger of malfunction
due to interferences. The rotors could start up inadvertently and cause damage or injury.
• NeverchargetheLiPoightbatteryimmediatelyafteruse.AlwaysleavetheLiPoightbatterytocool
