To avoid risk of suffocation, keep packaging materials away from

babies and small children.

Supervision by an experienced adult is required for chil-

dren, persons mentally or physically handicapped, nov-

ices, or anyone not capable of safely using this product.

9 / 48

S1008_X-8E_jh_V1

Protect all equipment from dust, dirt, moisture, vibration and

excessive heat or cold. The models may only be operated

remotely in normal outside temperatures ranging from 14° to

130°F (-10°C to 55°C).

Maintain frequent updates of your HoTT components with

the latest firmware version.

For additional questions or support, contact the Graupner

USA Service Center, or an experienced user.

Battery Safety

CAUTION

Protect batteries from dust, moisture, heat and vibrations.

For use in dry locations only.

Do not use damaged batteries.

Batteries not handled properly may catch fire, explode, or

cause irritation and burns. To extinguish a battery fire use

either water, CO² or sand.

Batteries should not be heated, burned, short-circuited,

incorrectly inserted, modified, soldered or welded.

Charge batteries in a room outfitted with a smoke detec-

tor, on a non-flammable, heat-resistant and non-conduc-

tive surface. Keep away from combustible or highly flam-

mable objects while charging. Always monitor batteries

during the charging process.

Do not exceed the maximum quick-charging current

specified for the respective cell type.

If a battery reaches temperatures above 140°F (60°C)

while it is being charged, immediately stop charging and

let the battery cool down to approximately 86 - 104°F (30

- 40°C).

Never charge batteries that have already been charged,

are hot or are not fully discharged. If a cell in a battery pack

heats up following a quick-charge process, this may indi-

cate a defective cell. Discard the battery immediately!

10 / 48 S1008_X-8E_jh_V1

Damaged or corroded batteries may leak an electrolyte

that is caustic and should not be touched or come into

contact with your skin or eyes. In case of emergency,

rinse thoroughly with water and seek immediate

medical attention.

Always fully recharge the battery.

Special instructions on charging LiPo batteries

To charge and discharge LiPo batteries, only use specifi-

cally designed chargers/dischargers with balancer con-

nector.

The white connector (cell count + 1 pole) is designed for

the connection to a LiPo balancer or a battery charger as

a single cell charger with a manual cell balancer. Always

charge the battery with the balancer connector.

Safety notes for stocking LiPo batteries

LiPo batteries should be stored with a voltage of about

3.8V per cell. If the cell voltage falls below 3V, then the bat-

tery must be charged. Fully discharging or storing a bat-

tery with a cell voltage < 3V renders the battery useless.

Exersize safety procautions when charging and transport-

ing your LiPo batteries. Always use a safety bag.
