Safety for Experiments with
Batteries
›››
The wires are not to be inserted into socket-outlets. Never
perform experiments using household current! The high voltage can
be extremely dangerous or fatal!
›››
To operate the models, you will need three AA batteries (1.5-volt,
type AA/LR6) or three AA rechargeable batteries (1.2-volt, type AA,
HR6/KR6), which could not be included in the kit due to their limited
shelf life.
›››
The supply terminals are not to be short-circuited. A short circuit
can cause the wires to overheat and the batteries to explode.
››› Different types of batteries or new and used batteries are not to
be mixed.
››› Do not mix old and new batteries.
››› Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc), or rechargeable
(nickel-cadmium) batteries.
››› Batteries are to be inserted with the correct polarity. Press them
gently into the battery compartment. See page 2.
›››
Always close battery compartments with the lid.
››› Non-rechargeable batteries are not to be recharged. They could
explode!
››› Rechargeable batteries are only to be charged under adult
supervision.
››› Rechargeable batteries are to be removed from the toy before
being charged.
›››
Exhausted batteries are to be removed from the toy.
››› Dispose of used batteries in accordance with environmental
provisions, not in the household trash.
››› Be sure not to bring batteries into contact with coins, keys, or
other metal objects.
››› Avoid deforming the batteries.
As all of the experiments use batteries, have an adult check the
experiments or models before use to make sure they are assembled
properly. Always operate the motorized models under adult
supervision.
After you are done experimenting, remove the batteries from the
battery compartments. Note the safety information accompanying
the individual experiments or models!

Dear Parents,
Before starting the experiments, read through the instruction
manual together with your child and discuss the safety
information. Check to make sure the models have been
assembled correctly, and assist your child with the experiments.
We hope you and your child have a lot of fun with the
experiments!
