Battery And Rechargeable Battery Notes - Reely Wild Hawk Operating Instructions Manual

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 NiMH batteries), various provisions must be complied with to avoid danger of explosion and
fire.
Therefore, always observe the following information and safety notes in handling of batteries and recharge-
able 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!
• To charge the flight battery, remove it from the model and place it on a fire-proof surface. Keep a distance to flam-
mable objects.
• Never charge the enclosed flight battery immediately after use. Always leave the flight battery to cool off first (at least
5 - 10 minutes).
• Only charge intact and undamaged batteries. If the outer isolation of the flight battery is damaged or the flight battery
is deformed or bloated, it must not be charged. In this case, there is immediate danger of fire and explosion!
• Never damage the flight battery covering, do not cut the foil cover, do not probe the rechargeable battery with sharp
objects. There is a risk of fire and explosion!
• Never charge rechargeable batteries unattended.
• As the charger as well as the flight battery heat up during the charging process, it is necessary to ensure sufficient
ventilation. Never cover the charger and flight battery! Of course, this also applies for all other chargers and re-
chargeable batteries.
• Chargers may only be operated in dry rooms. Charges and flight batteries must not get damp or wet.
• Do not expose the charger or flight battery to high/low temperatures or to direct solar radiation.
• Disconnect the flight battery from the charger when it is fully charged.
• Batteries/rechargeable batteries must never be short-circuited, disassembled or thrown into fire. There is a danger
of explosion!
• Leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries can cause chemical burns to skin. Wear suitable protective
gloves when handling them.
• Liquids leaking from batteries/rechargeable batteries are chemically highly aggressive. Objects or surfaces that
come into contact with them may take severe damage. Therefore, keep batteries/rechargeable batteries in a suit-
able location.
• Never recharge normal (non-rechargeable) batteries. There is a risk of fire and explosion! Charge only rechargeable
batteries intended for this; use suitable chargers.
Batteries (1.5 V) are intended for one-time use only and must be disposed of properly when discharged.
• Observe correct polarity when inserting batteries into the transmitter or connecting the flight battery to the flight
controller (positive/+ and negative/-).
Incorrect polarity will damage not only the transmitter but also the plane model and the rechargeable battery. There
is a danger of fire and explosion.
