To prevent overcharging, neverrecharge a battery which has already been fullycharged. This will not increase running speed.•Recharge the battery only with the transmitter’sbuilt-in charger.•If the chassis becomes warm, let it cool beforerunning again.•Never use rechargeable batteries, such as NiCds,in the transmitter.•Do not mix different types of batteries, or old andnew batteries.•When changing batteries, replace ALL of the oldbatteries with new ones.•Make sure the batteries are installed with thecorrect polarity as shown in the batterycompartment.•Do not charge or disassemble your transmitterbatteries. Never allow them to become hot or toburn. To avoid short-circuits, avoid getting them wet.•If liquid from inside the batteries contacts your skinor clothes, wash them with water.
