Information About Batteries/Rechargeable Batteries - Carson 501000 Mode D'emploi

c) Information about batteries/rechargeable
batteries
● Keep batteries out of reach of children.
● Do not let batteries lie around openly. There is a risk of batte-
ries being swallowed by children or pets. In such a case, seek
instant medical care!
● Batteries/rechargeable batteries must never be short-circui-
ted, taken apart or thrown into fire. They might explode!
●
Leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries might
cause acid burns when getting into contact with skin, there-
fore, use suitable protective gloves.
● Conventional batteries must not be re-charged. Danger of fire
and explosion! Only charge rechargeable batteries which are
intended for this purpose; use suitable battery chargers.
● Please observe correct polarity (positive/+ and negative/-)
when inserting the batteries/rechargeable batteries.
● If the device is not used for a longer period of time (e.g. du-
ring storage), take out the batteries/rechargeable batteries
inserted in the remote control and in the car to avoid damage
from leaking batteries.
● Recharge the rechargeable battery about every 3 months, as
otherwise there may a so-called deep discharge due to the
self-discharge, which makes rechargeable batteries useless.
● Always exchange the entire set of 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 conventional and rechargeable batteries! Either
use batteries or rechargeable batteries for the remote con-
trol.
● It is possible to operate the remote control (transmitter) with
rechargeable batteries instead of conventional batteries.

● However, the lower voltage (batteries=1.5 V, rechargeable
batteries=1.2 V) and the lower capacity of rechargeable bat-
teries lead to a decrease in the operating time. Usually this
does not matter, since the operating time of the transmitter is
much longer than that of the model.
● If you use conventional batteries in the remote control, we
recommend the use of high-quality alkaline batteries.
● When using rechargeable batteries the range might be red-
uced.
● The rechargeable mignon batteries required for the RC sy-
stem are, in general, empty on delivery and must be char-
ged.
Please note:
Before the rechargeable battery supplies its maximum
power, several complete discharge and charge cycles are
necessary.
Always discharge the rechargeable battery in regular inter-
vals, since charging a "half-full" rechargeable battery seve-
ral times can cause a so-called memory effect. This means
that the rechargeable battery loses its capacity. It no longer
releases all of its stored energy, the operation time of the
model and the transmitter is reduced.
If you use several rechargeable batteries, purchasing a high-
quality charger may be worthwhile. They are normally also sui-
table for fast-charging rechargeable batteries.
Take note of the about paragraph when charging the batteries
in the transmitter.
ATTENTION!
Only charge rechargeable batteries which are intended for
this purpose!
Take note of the separate operating manuals of accessories
such as rechargeable batteries and chargers.
