7. Information 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. In such a case, seek instant 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 coming into contact with skin,
therefore use suitable protective gloves.
• Do not recharge normal batteries. There is a risk of fire and explosion! Only charge rechargeable batteries which are
intended for this purpose; use suitable rechargeable battery chargers.
• Please observe correct polarity (plus/+ and minus/-) 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 remote control and in the car to avoid damage from leaking batteries/rechargeable batteries.
Recharge the batteries about every 3 months, as otherwise there may be a total discharge due to self-discharge,
which makes the 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 remote control
transmitter.
The operation of the remote control (transmitter) with rechargeable batteries instead of batteries is
possible.
However, the low 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. However, usually this does not
matter, since the operating time of the transmitter is much longer than that of the model.
If you use batteries in the remote control, we recommend the use of high-quality alkaline batteries.
