7. Notes on Batteries and Rechargeable 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!
• 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 may cause acid burns when coming into contact with skin.
Use suitable protective gloves.
• Do not recharge normal batteries. There is a risk of fire and explosion! Only charge rechargeable batteries intended
for this purpose. Use suitable battery chargers.
• Please observe correct polarity (po and negative/-) when inserting the batteries/rechargeable batteries.
• If the device is not used for a longer period of time (e.g. storage), take out the inserted batteries/rechargeable
batteries inserted in the transmitter and in the car to avoid damage from leaking batteries/rechargeable batteries.
Recharge the rechargeable batteries about every 3 months, because otherwise there may be a total discharge due
to self-discharge, which makes the rechargeable batteries useless.
• Always replace the entire set of batteries or rechargeable batteries. Never mix fully charged batteries/rechargeable
batteries with partially discharged ones. Always use batteries or rechargeable batteries of the same type and manu-
facturer.
• Never mix batteries and rechargeable batteries! Either use batteries or rechargeable batteries for the remote con-
trol.
The transmitter can be operated with rechargeable instead of regular batteries.
However, the lower voltage (batteries=1.5 V, rechargeable batteries=1.2 V) and the lower capacity of
rechargeable batteries do lead to a decrease of the operating time. Normally this does not matter, since
the operating time of the remote control exceeds that of the model.
When using batteries in the transmitter, we recommend the use of high-quality alkaline batteries.
