Batteries such as EFLB1101S and PKZ3001, you MUST read the following safety
instructions and warnings before handling, charging or using the Li-Po battery.

Ni-Cd or Ni-MH batteries used in RC applications. All instructions and warnings
must be followed exactly. Mishandling of Li-Po batteries can result in re.

disconnect the battery, then place it in a safe, open area away from ammable
materials to observe it for at least 15 minutes. Continuing to charge or discharge a
battery that has begun to balloon or swell can result in a re. A battery that has
ballooned or swollen even a small amount must be removed from service
completely.
