immediately!
• Batteries/rechargeable batteries must never be short-circuited, disassembled or
thrownintore.Thereisadangerofexplosion!
• Batteries/rechargeable batteries must not get damp or wet.
• Always observe the correct polarity (plus/+ and minus/-) when installing/inserting
batteries.
• 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suitablelocation.
b) LiPo (Rechargeable) batteries
• Never damage the rechargeable battery. Damaging the casing of the rechargeable
battery might cause an explosion or a re! Unlike conventional batteries/
rechargeable batteries (e.g. AA or AAA type), the casing of the LiPo rechargeable
batterydoesnotconsistofathinsheetbutratherasensitiveplasticlmonly.
• Never short-circuit the contacts of the rechargeable battery. Do not throw the
batteryortheproductintore.Thereisadangerofreandexplosion!
• Charge the rechargeable battery regularly, even if you do are not using the
product. Due to the rechargeable battery technology being used, you do not need
todischargetherechargeablebatteryrst.
• Never charge the rechargeable battery of the product unattended.
• When charging, place the product on a surface that is not heat-sensitive. It is
normal that a certain amount of heat is generated during charging.
8

c) AA (rechargeable) batteries
• (Rechargeable) batteries should be removed from the device if it is not used for a
longperiodoftimetoavoiddamagethroughleaking.
• All (rechargeable) batteries should be replaced at the same time. Mixing old and
new (rechargeable) batteries in the device can lead to (rechargeable) battery
leakageanddevicedamage.
• (Rechargeable) batteries must not be dismantled, short-circuited or thrown into
re.Neverrechargenon-rechargeablebatteries.Thereisariskofexplosion!
d) Charging the helicopter battery
• (If provided) only use the provided charger to charge the battery.

charging.
• Never leave the battery unattended while charging.
• Never cover the charger and the battery when charging is in progress.
• Disconnect the battery from the charger when the battery is fully charged.
• The charger and the rechargeable battery must not get damp or wet. This may
resultinafatalelectricshockorcauseareorexplosion!
• Do not expose the charger or battery to extremely high/low temperatures or direct
sunlight.
• Never use an excessive charging current. Observe the manufacturer’s
specicationsfortheideal/maximumchargingcurrent.
• Keepasufcientdistancebetweenthechargerandthebatterywhilecharging.
• Do not wear any metal or conductive materials, such as jewellery (necklaces,
bracelets,rings, etc.) whileyou are workingwith the chargeror battery. Short-
circuit poses a danger of burns and explosion.
• Whencharging,placethebatteryonaheat-insensitivesurface.Itisnormalthata
