Lithium Polymer batteries are extremely hazardous and liable to cause serious  injuries  to persons  or
property. The user accepts liability for the use of a Lithium Polymer battery. As the manufacturer and
the distributor cannot ensure the battery is used correctly  (charging,  discharging,  storage,  etc.),  they
cannot be held liable for damages caused to persons or property. 

In the event of battery  leakage,  avoid the liquid coming into contact with skin and eyes.  In case of
contact with the skin,  wash copiously  with soap and water.  In case of contact with the eyes,  rinse
copiously with cold water and consult a doctor. If you notice a suspicious  smell or noise or observe
smoke around the charger, disconnect it immediately. 

Non-compliance with the instructions below could result in gas being given off, fire,  electric shock or

Charging

The Parrot battery shall only be used together with the Parrot charger.  Examine the charger regularly
for damage to the cord, plug, enclosure or other parts.  Never use a damaged charger.  Never charge
a swollen battery, a leaky battery or one which has been damaged. Do not use the AR.Drone charger

Do not overcharge the battery. When the battery  is  fully  charged,  disconnect it from the charger.  Do
not put the device back in the charger once charging has finished. You risk causing overheating. 

Do not charge the battery near inflammable materials  or on an inflammable surface (carpet,  wooden
flooring,  wooden furniture,  etc.) or conducting  surface.  Do  not  leave  the  battery  unattended  during
charging. 

Never  charge  the  device  immediately  after  use  while  it  is  still  hot.  Let  it  cool  down  to  room
temperature. Do not charge the battery while it is still connected to the AR.Drone. 

Batteries are only to be charged under adult supervision. 

Do not cover your product or its charger while the battery is charging. 

Exhausted batteries  are  to  be  removed  from  the  item.  Rechargeable  batteries  are  to  be  removed
from the item before being charged. Non-rechargeable batteries are not to be recharged. 

Recharge the battery at a temperature of between 0°C and 40°C.

Usage and storage

Do not use the battery if the plastic cover has been torn or compromised in any way. Do not insert or
remove the battery  while the power is  on.  Do not expose the battery  to excessive physical  shock.
Never use a swollen  battery  or  a  leaky  battery,  or  one  which  is  damaged  or  giving  off  a  unusual
odour. 

Keep the battery out of the reach of children. 

Do not expose the battery to heat or dispose of a fire.  Do not allow the battery  to come into contact
with any kind of liquid. Do not leave your device out in the rain or near a source of moisture.  Do not
