SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Improper use of this product could result in serious injury. Be aware of your personal safety and safety of others as you operate your model. We recommend beginners learn to fly with the help of an experienced pilot.

Adult supervision required.

•

Changes or modifications to this product not expressly approved by the

•

party responsible for compliance may void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Do not alter or modify the model, as doing so may result in an unsafe or un-

•

flyable model.

Do not touch the spinning blades or fly over another person’s head.

•

Keep your face and body as well as all spectators away from the rotors

•

whenever the battery is connected.

Maintain a safe pilot-to-helicopter distance while flying.

•

Stay clear of buildings, trees and power lines. AVOID flying in or near crowded

•

areas. DO NOT fly close to people, children or pets.

You must check the operation of the model before every flight to ensure that

•

it is structurally sound.

Your Proto-X FPV should not be considered a toy, but rather a small, working

•

model. If not operated correctly, the model could possibly cause injury to you or spectators and damage to property.

The Proto-X FPV has parts that rotate and move at high speeds which in

•

itself poses a certain degree of danger. Please be mindful of this as you operate your model.

Choose a wide open space with minimal obstructions and do not operate your

•

model near buildings or crowds of people, high voltage power lines or trees.

Improper use may cause damage to people or property.

•

Your Proto-X FPV is powered by a Lithium-Polymer (LiPo) battery. To avoid

•

risk of fire damage use ONLY the provided charger and avoid charging your model on a combustible surface.

If you do not plan on flying your Proto-X FPV for a week or more, store the

•

battery approximately 50% charged (one and one half hour charge time from a fully depleted battery) to maintain best battery performance.

Never get your Proto-X FPV wet or operate in the rain.
