Battery Warnings and Guidelines
While the 1S 3.7V DC Lithium Polymer Battery Charger (EFLC1103)
included with your Blade mCX has been specifically designed
to safely charge the included 1S 3.7V 110mAh Lithium Polymer
Battery (EFLB1101S), you MUST read the following safety
instructions and warnings before handling, charging or using the
LiPo battery.
Note: Lithium Polymer batteries are significantly more volatile than
the alkaline, NiCd or NiMH batteries used in RC applications. All
instructions and warnings must be followed exactly. Mishandling of
LiPo batteries can result in fire.
By handling, charging or using the included LiPo battery
you assume all risks associated with lithium batteries.
If you do not agree with these conditions, return your
complete Blade mCX model in new, unused condition to
the place of purchase immediately.
• You must charge the included 1S 3.7V 110mAh LiPo battery in a safe
area away from flammable materials.
• Never charge the battery unattended. When charging the battery you
should always remain in constant observation to monitor the charging
process and react to potential problems that may occur.
• After flight, the battery must be cooled to ambient temperature before
charging.
• You MUST use the included 1S 3.7V DC LiPo Charger (EFLC1003)
ONLY. Failure to do so may result in a fire causing personal injury
and/or property damage. DO NOT use a NiCd or NiMH charger.
Additional Equipment
A DSM2 compatible transmitter is required to complete your Blade mCX.
