Never subject the battery charger, the batteries
GB
and the model to adverse local conditions!
These are for instance:
• Wetness, too high air humidity (> 75% rel., condensing). Do not
touch the battery charger with wet hands.
• Never operate the battery charger right after it has been brought
from cold into warm surroundings. The resulting condensation
water can destroy the device. Permit the device to attain the
ambient temperature while unconnected.
• Dust and inflammable gases, vapours or solvents, benzene
• Too high ambient temperatures (> about +40°C), direct solar
radiation
• Open fire, ignition sources
• Mechanical stresses such as shocks, vibrations
• Strong contamination
• Strong electromagnetic fields (motors or transformers) or
electrostatic fields (charges)
• Transmitters (radio telephones, transmitters for model building
etc.). The transmitter radiation can lead to the malfunction of the
charging operation or to the destruction of the battery charger and
thereby also of the batteries.
Lithium-Polymer battery
Employ the enclosed battery exclusively for this model.
Only employ an original part as the replacement battery.
• Load the battery exclusively outside of the model and away from
easily flammable materials! It is normal that the battery warms up
when charging.
• Do not overload or exhaustively discharge the battery! Both can
cause that electrolyte leaks out and lead to self-ignition.
• Never mix fully charged batteries with half-charged ones or
batteries with different capacity.
• Charge the LiPo battery at least every six months in order to avoid
low discharging.
• Remove the charged battery from the battery charger in order to
avoid self-discharging.
• If not using the model for a longer time, the rechargeable battery
has to be removed.
At the end of its useful life, under various national/state and local laws,
it may be illegal to dispose of this battery into the municipal waste
stream.
Check with your local solid waste officials for details in your area for
recycling options or proper disposal.

Permit the battery charger to cool down
between charging operations. Disconnect the
battery charger from the power when the
charging operation is finished.
A defective battery charger may no longer be employed.
If it is assumed that the device is defective, i.e. if
• The device shows visible damage,
• The device no longer works and
• After longer storage under unfavourable conditions or
• After severe transportation stress, then it should be made
inoperative without delay and secured against unintentional
operation.
Dispose of the unusable (irreparable) battery charger according to the
prevailing statutory regulations.
For safety and registration reasons (CE), the arbitrary reconstruction
and/or modification of the battery charger is not permitted.
The batteries must not
• Be immersed in liquid
• Be thrown in the fire or subjected to high temperatures or
• Mechanical stresses or
• Be taken apart or damaged
• Or be short-circuited.
If during operation or while charging or storing the battery you
perceive a noticeable smell, a discolouration, excessive heating or
deformation or any other abnormality:
• Disconnect the battery from the battery charger
• Separate the battery from the consumer
• No longer employ the battery.
If electrolyte drains out:
• Avoid contact with eyes and skin!
• Wash the affected locations immediately with clear water and
• Consult a physician.
