AFETY
Do not use commercial nicd penlight batteries.
During quick charging, the battery holder contacts may overheat and
damage the equipment, or prevent charging.
Do not short the nicd battery connector terminals.
Shorting the terminals may cause sparking and overheating and result in burns or fire.
Do not drop or apply strong shock to nicd battery.
The battery may be shorted and cause overheating or
breakage and electrolyte leakage and result in burns or
damage by chemical mater.
Storage and Disposal Precautions
Do not leave the digital proportional R/C set, battery, model airplane, etc. within the
reach of small children.
Touching and operating the digital proportional R/C set, or licking the battery, may cause
injury or damage due to chemical matter.
Do not throw the nicd battery into a fire or heat the nicd battery. Also, do not
disassemble or rebuild the nicd battery.
Breakage, overheating, and electrolyte leakage may cause injury, burns, or blindness.
When not flying the model, store the digital proportional R/C set with the nicd
battery in the discharged state. Recharge the nicd battery before the next flight.
If a partially discharged nicd battery is recharged many times, its memory effect will
reduce the flight time substantially and may cause a crash, even if the battery is re-
charged.
Nicd Battery Electrolyte
The electrolyte in the nicd battery is a strong alkali and can cause blindness if it gets in
the eyes. If you get the electrolyte in your eyes, immediately wash your eyes with water
and see a doctor. If you get the electrolyte on your skin or clothes, it may cause a burn.
Immediately wash it off with water.
