WARNING!
To avoid fire, serious injury, and property damage, observe the following safety guidelines when using, charging, or
storing your batteries.
• Use caution when handling the X PlusOne battery; lithium polymer batteries can cause a fire if handled
incorrectly. Never alter, puncture, throw, bend, or impact the battery.
• Keep the battery away from liquids, fire, microwaves, and other hazardous or combustible materials.
• DO NOT expose the battery to extreme temperatures. If the battery is hot to the touch, wait for it to cool before
using or charging.
• DO NOT use the battery if the plastic cover has been torn or compromised in any way.
• Never disassemble or pierce the battery in any way or the battery may leak, catch fire, or explode.
• Electrolytes in the battery are highly corrosive. If any electrolytes make contact with your skin or eyes, immediately
wash the affected area with fresh running water for at least 15 minutes, and then see a doctor immediately.
• If the battery falls into water with the aircraft during flight, take it out immediately and put it in a safe and open
area. Maintain a safe distance from the battery until it is completely dry. Never use the battery again, and dispose
of the battery properly as properly described below.
• DO NOT heat batteries. Put out any battery fire using sand or a dry powder fire extinguisher.
• DO NOT put batteries in a microwave oven or in a pressurized container.
• DO NOT place loose battery cells on any conductive surface, such as a metal table.
• DO NOT put the loose cells in a pocket, bag or drawer where they may short-circuit against other items or where
the battery terminals could be pressed against each other.
• DO NOT drop or strike batteries. DO NOT place heavy objects on the batteries or charger.
• Clean battery terminals with a clean, dry cloth.
Only use the X PlusOne battery for your craft. Inspect the battery before and after each flight. It is possible for the battery
to be damaged in shipping, use or charging. If you notice any abnormal features such as damage to the exterior shell,
swelling, deformation of the battery, abnormal smell, leakage, or other unexpected behavior, DO NOT use the battery!
These can be signs of serious damage that can cause the battery to catch fire or cause serious injury. To prevent a hazard
in case of fire or explosion, disconnect the battery, and place the battery in a safe area outside of any buildings or vehicles
and away from flammable materials. DO NOT dispose of the battery in the trash; dispose of the battery at local battery
recycling center as soon as possible. In the US and Canada, visit call2recycle.org to find a location.
