6. Notes on Batteries and
 Rechargeable Batteries
• Batteries/rechargeable batteries must be kept out of the reach of children.
• Do not let batteries/rechargeable batteries lie around openly. There is a risk of batteries being swallowed by children
or pets. If this occurs, seek immediate medical attention!
• Batteries/rechargeable batteries must never be short-circuited, taken apart or thrown into fire. There is a risk of
explosion!
• Leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries may cause acid burns when they come into contact with skin,
therefore use suitable protective gloves.
• Do not recharge normal, non-rechargeable batteries. There is a risk of fire and explosion! Only charge rechargeable
batteries which are intended for this purpose; use suitable rechargeable battery chargers.
• When inserting batteries/rechargeable batteries or when connecting a battery pack observe the correct polarity
(note plus/+ and minus/-).
• If the device is not used for a longer period of time (e.g. storage), take the inserted batteries or rechargeable batteries
out of the transmitter to avoid damage from leaking batteries/rechargeable batteries. Disconnect the drive battery
from the drive control unit.
Recharge the batteries about every 3 months, as otherwise there may be a total discharge due to self-discharge,
which makes rechargeable batteries useless.
• Always exchange the entire set of batteries or rechargeable batteries. Do not mix full batteries/rechargeable batteries
with half-full ones. Always use batteries or rechargeable batteries of the same type and manufacturer.
• Never mix batteries and rechargeable batteries! Either use batteries or rechargeable batteries for the transmitter.
The operation of the transmitter with rechargeable batteries instead of batteries is possible.
However, the low voltage (batteries=1.5V, rechargeable batteries=1.2V) and the lower capacity of
rechargeable batteries does lead to a decrease in the operating time. However, normally this does not
matter, since the operating time of the transmitter is far in excess of that of the drive battery.
When using disposable batteries in the transmitter, we recommend the use of high-quality alkaline
batteries.
When using rechargeable batteries there can be a decrease in range.
