Safety notes

WARNING

Ð These safety instructions are intended not only to protect

the product, but also for your own and other people’s safe­ty. Therefore please read this section very carefully before
using the product!

Ð Do not leave the packaging material lying around, this could

be a dangerous toy for children.

Ð Persons, including children, with reduced physical, sensory

or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or knowledge,
or not capable to use safely the receiver, must not use it
without supervision or instruction by a responsible person.

Ð The operation of radio controlled models must be learned!

If you have never driven such a model, then start extra
carefully and make sure to be familiar with the reactions
of the model to the remote control commands. Proceed
responsibly.

Ð Always carry on a first range test and function test on the

ground (hold the model tightly) before your model is used.
Repeat the test with the motor running and with short
bursts of throttle.

Ð Before you start using the remote control model, you have

to check the further relevant laws and regulations. These
laws you must obey in every case. Pay attention to the pos­sibly different laws of the countries.

Ð The insurance is mandatory for all kinds of model opera-

tion. If you already have one check out whether the opera­tion of the model is covered. If applicable, extend it to spe­cial model liability insurance. We recommend to provide the
copter with a label, where are indicated the name, address,
tel. n., E-mail and Insurance n. So that the copter can be
clearly assigned in the event of a crash.

the cables when you unplug the connector.
