Hubsan Safety Advisory Notice for Lithium-Polymer (LiPo) Batteries

LiPo batteries are different from conventional batteries in that their chemical contents are encased in a relatively lightweight foil packaging. This has the advantage of significantly reducing their weight but it does make them more susceptible to damage if roughly or inappropriately handled. As with all batteries, there is a risk of fire or explosion if safety practices are ignored:

1. Do not disassemble or reassemble the battery.

2. Do not short-circuit the battery.

3. Do not use or charge near sources of heat.

4. Do not put the battery in contact with water or any kind of liquid.

7. Do not throw or manhandle the battery.

8. Never charge a battery that has been damaged, become deformed or swelled.

9. Do not solder on or near the battery.

10. Do not overcharge or over discharge the battery.

11. Do not reverse charge or reverse the battery polarities.

● If you do not plan to fly the quad for a long time, store the battery

~50% charged to maintain battery performance and life.

● Please use Hubsan chargers for battery charging.

● Discharge the battery at 5C current or below. To avoid discharge related

battery damage, do not prolong the discharge time.

● Do not charge on carpet to avoid fire.

● Batteries need to be recharged if unused for over 3 months.

Page 5

12. Do not connect the battery to a car charger/cigarette lighter or any kind of unconventional power source.

13. This battery is prohibited for non-designated devices.

14. Do not touch any kind of liquid waste or byproduct from batteries. If skin or clothes come in contact with these substances, please flush with water!

15. Do not mix other types of batteries with lithium batteries.

16. Do not exceed the specified charging time.

17. Do not place the battery in a microwave or in areas of high pressure.

18. Do not expose the battery to the sun.

19. Do not use in environments with high static electricity (64V and above).

20. Do not use or charge in temperatures below 0 ℃ and above 45 ℃.

21. If a newly purchased battery is used, leaking, possesses a bad smell or other abnormalities, return immediately to the vendor.
