SEALED NiCd (NICKEL-CADMIUM)
BATTERY.
‑
IF THE HOVERCRAFT, BATTERY AND
TRANSMITTER ARE WET, THOR-
OUGHLY DRY BEFORE USING OR
CHARGING.
- REGULARLY EXAMINE ALL WIRES AND
CONNECTORS. IN THE EVENT OF
DAMAGE, DO NOT USE.
The hovercraft is powered by Nickel-Cad-
mium technology, and requires no special pro-
cedures or precautions for disposal. However,
as with all products, you should dispose of
your NiCd battery in an environmentally re-
sponsible and considerate manner.
Important:
- If driving time becomes shorter or
propellers does not turn with full power,
the capacity of the 9V battery or 9.6V
battery pack are insufficient. (Power LED
light becomes dimmer as batteries wear.)
It is the tale-tell sign you need to replace
the 9V battery or recharge the 9.6V
battery pack.
- Be sure to recharge the hovercraft just
before driving it. If you do not play with the
hovercraft immediately after recharging,
the charge is drained and the hovercraft
cannot drive.
- When the battery temperature gets too
high, the circuit shuts off automatically to
protect the receiver circuit and the battery
in the hovercraft. In such a case, wait until
the battery cools down before recharging
or playing with the hovercraft.
- If the rechargeable battery is repeatedly
charged without being sufficiently
discharged first, the capacity will gradually
decrease (memory effect of battery). This
is a characteristic of rechargeable
batteries. Be sure to start recharging after
operating the propellers until they nearly
stop.
