2. SAFETY
NOTES
! These Instructions for Use are an essential part of this product,
and contain important information and safety notes. For this
reason you should always store them in a safe place. Be sure to
pass them on to the new owner if you ever dispose of the product.
! Read the instructions carefully!
! Read and observe the Safety Notes!
Do not attempt to use your LiPo battery until you have read right
through these instructions and the safety notes (printed below or
separate), and understood them completely. Before you use the
battery, check that it is in perfect, undamaged condition.
If the battery is damaged, it must not be used again!
! LiPo batteries are not hazardous if they are handled and used
correctly.
! Batteries are not playthings, and must be stored well out of the
reach of children.
! If mishandled (heating, burning, short-circuit, over-charging,
deep-discharging, reversed polarity), or if used in conditions
which result in inappropriate operation, LiPo batteries may leak
and start to decompose. This may result in violent reactions
which are hazardous to health and the environment.
! LiPo batteries are only approved for use in modeling. They must
not be used in man-carrying aircraft, vehicles or for similar
applications.
! Protect the battery from vibration, dust, damp and shock or
pressure loads, as may occur, for example, in crashes. Check the
pack at regular intervals. Do not re-use the battery if it is
damaged!
! No materials are released from LiPo batteries in normal
circumstances and conditions which can reasonably be expected.
! Caution! if cells are opened, the exposed lithium could react with
oxygen in the air, and this could result in fire and explosion. On
no account breathe in the fumes!
Provide adequate ventilation.
! Treat burns in the appropriate manner, and seek medical
assistance.
! If gas is released, leave the area immediately. Escaped gases are
an irritant to the airways, and must not be inhaled. Seek medical
assistance if necessary.
! If a LiPo battery ignites when in actual use, the fire can be
extinguished with water.
! Never attempt to open a cell or a battery pack. Take care to avoid
sharp objects accidentally damaging the cells’ outer skin. Do not
modify the battery pack in any way. Use only genuine
accessories.
! If a LiPo battery is damaged, it is possible for electrolyte to
escape. Place the damaged battery in an airtight plastic bag, and
add dry sand, powdered chalk (CaCO3) or Vermiculite!
! If electrolyte is ingested, wash out the mouth and surrounding
area with plenty of water. Seek medical assistance immediately!
! Do not allow the battery to contact fire, water or other fluids.
! The materials inside the battery are corrosive; do not allow them
to contact skin or eyes. In an emergency rinse the affected area
with plenty of water, and seek medical attention.
! The battery connecting lead has no strain relief; never carry the
battery by the wires, or use them to pull it out of the model. The
solder tags may bend or break if stressed, and this will render the
battery useless.
! Never solder directly to the cells, as the great heat may damage
the cells.
! Read the maximum permissible charge and discharge currents
printed on the LiPo pack, and always stay within those limits.
