Operation Of A Model; Information About Batteries And Rechargeable Batteries - df models RACE-X Notice D'utilisation

2.3 Operation of a model

Do not drive if your ability to respond is restricted (e.g. due to fatigue, drug or alcohol in-
fluence). Improper operation can cause serious injury to persons and damage to property.
Do not drive if you have the slightest doubt about the proper functioning and technical
condition of your model / your remote control set.
> Bring the remote control lever to neutral position and switch-on the transmitter first and then the
receiver in the model. Otherwise, the model may show unpredictable reactions!
> Connect the drive motor of electric models only after the receiver system has been completely
installed, otherwise the drive motor may start suddenly on its own.
> Place the model for starting in such a way that the wheels and the drive motor can rotate freely.
> Note that RC models should not be driven in areas with public passenger transport and road
traffic. Operate the model only in private areas or on sites designated for this purpose. Note the
requirements and regulations of the site.
> Do not operate the model in nature reserves or in the vicinity of animals.
> Do not drive under high-voltage power lines or radio towers or during a thunderstorm. Electric
fields and statics can affect the signals from your remote control transmitter.
> While operating the model, always make sure that no parts of your body or of other people, or
objects come within the danger range of the motors or any other rotating parts.
> In case of a fault, stop operating your model immediately and remove the cause of malfunction
before you continue to use the model.
> Do not expose your model and the remote control to direct sunlight, humidity, heavy pollutions
or excessive heat/cold for a longer period of time.
> After operation, turn off the model first and then the transmitter.

2.4 Information about batteries and rechargeable batteries:

> Keep batteries/rechargeable batteries out of the reach of children and pets, as there is a risk of the
batteries being swallowed. In such a case, seek instant medical attention!
> Leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries might cause acid burns on coming into con-
tact with skin. If skin or eyes come in contact with the electrolyte, wash the spot immediately and
thoroughly with clean water and seek medical attention. Use suitable protective gloves when
disposing of the defective batteries.
> If you notice abnormalities such as odour, discolouration, excessive heating or deformation of
the battery, disconnect the battery immediately from the charger and/or the user. Dispose of the
battery!
> Conventional alkaline batteries (1.5V) are only intended for single use and must be properly dis-
posed off afterwards.
> Dispose of used batteries or defective batteries in an environmental-friendly way at authorised
collection points. Do not dispose of used batteries in the household refuse!
> Batteries must not get damp or wet.. Also avoid the formation of condensation.
> Never expose the batteries/rechargeable batteries, charger and the model to adverse environ-
mental conditions (e.g. moisture, high temperatures, ignition sources or open flames, dust, steam,
solvents)!
> Also avoid heavy pollution and excessive mechanical load on the battery, never pull the connec-
ting cables!
> Never mix conventional and rechargeable batteries in a single device simultaneously! Use either
batteries or rechargeable batteries only.
> If brand new batteries are not used to power the transmitter, ensure sufficient residual capacity
(battery tester).
> The lower voltage (batteries=1.5 V, rechargeable batteries=1.2 V) and the lower capacity of re-
chargeable batteries can lead to a decrease in the operating time and may also affect the range.
