7. Notes on batteries and rechargeable batteries
Be sure to observe the following information and safety instructions when handling batteries or rechargeable batteries.
• Keep batteries/rechargeable batteries out of the reach of children.
• Do not leave the batteries/rechargeable batteries lying around openly; there is a risk of them being swallowed by children or pets. If swallowed, consult a
doctor immediately!
• Batteries/rechargeable batteries must never be short-circuited, dismantled or thrown into fire. There is danger of explosion!
• Leaky or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries may cause caustic burns if they come into contact with skin. Therefore, you should 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.
• Watch out for the right polarity when inserting batteries or connecting a battery pack (pay attention to positive/+ and negative/-).
• If the device is not used over a long period of time (e.g. during storage), remove the inserted batteries (or rechargeable batteries) from the remote control to
prevent damage from leaking batteries/rechargeable batteries.
• Recharge NiMH or NiCd rechargeable batteries about every 3 months, as otherwise they might be fully discharged due to self-discharge, which can render the
rechargeable batteries useless.
• Always replace 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!
• When dealing with LiPo rechargeable batteries, observe the specific safety instructions of the manufacturer!
