Fire and Heat Precautions

Measures to prevent fire, burns, and overheating when using the RBQ, charger, and battery.

Heat and contact

⚠

WARNING

1) The robot body and controller get hot after long use. Do not touch during operation or immediately after. Allow at least about 1 hour to cool, check UI temperature, or power off and let it cool.
2) Batteries, chargers, and docking stations can also get hot-do not place flammable material near them while charging.

• Ventilation: Place the controller and charger in a well-ventilated area; do not cover with cloths or covers. Overheating can cause failure or fire.

Fire prevention

• Flammables: Do not place paper, cloth, solvents, or other flammables near the robot or charger.
• Battery: Do not expose the battery to fire, crush it, or puncture it. Do not use a damaged battery; dispose of it safely.
• Charging: Use only the designated charger; do not use damaged cables or chargers. See also Battery Handling Precautions.

If something goes wrong

• Smoke or odor: Turn power off immediately, unplug, and move to a safe distance.

⚠

DANGER

If a fire starts on the RBQ, charger, or battery, do not attempt to extinguish it yourself. Prioritize life safety: evacuate, then call the fire service. Lithium batteries are hard to fully extinguish with water or ordinary extinguishers and may worsen the situation-use extinguishers suitable for electrical fires (gas, powder, etc.) as recommended.

• Overheat alarm: If the product or the app shows an overheat warning, stop use, let it cool, then consult the manual or Rainbow Robotics.
