INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the VUSION FPV RACER. We want the time you spend
with your new R/C quadcopter to be fun and successful so please read the entire
manual before beginning setup. If for any reason you think this R/C model is not
for you, return it to the dealer immediately. Your dealer cannot accept returns on
any model after final assembly.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Failure to follow these safety precautions
may result in injury to yourself and others.

● Keep your face and body as well as all spectators away from the rotating plane
of the blades whenever the battery is connected. Keep loose clothing, shirt
sleeves, ties, scarfs, long hair or loose objects such as pencils or screwdrivers
that may fall out of shirt or jacket pockets away from the rotors. The spinning
blades of a model quadcopter can cause serious injury. When choosing a
flying site for your VUSION FPV RACER, stay clear of buildings, trees and power
lines. AVOID flying in or near crowded areas. DO NOT fly close to people or
pets. Maintain a safe distance from the quadcopter.

● Your VUSION FPV RACER should not be considered a toy. Because of its
performance capabilities, the VUSION FPV RACER, if not operated correctly,
could cause injury to you or spectators and damage to property.

● DO NOT alter or modif y the model. Doing so may result in an unsafe or unflyable
model.

● When and if repairs are necessary you must correctly install all components so
that the model operates properly on the ground and in the air. Please check
the operation of the model before every  ight to insure that all equipment is
operating and that the model has remained structurally sound. Be sure to check
connectors and the propellers before each  ight. Replace them if they show
any signs of wear or fatigue.

KNOW BEFORE YOU FLY

As a new owner of an unmanned aircraft system (UAS), you are responsible for
the operation of this vehicle and the safety of those around you. Please contact
your local authorities to find out the latest rules and regulations.

AMA

We urge you to join the AMA (Academy of Model Aeronautics) and a local R/C
club. The AMA is the governing body of model aviation and membership is
required to fly at AMA clubs. Though joining the AMA provides many benefits,
one of the primary reasons to join is liability protection. Coverage is not limited
to flying at contests or on the club field. It even applies to flying at public
demonstrations and air shows. Failure to comply with the Safety Code may
endanger insurance coverage. Additionally, training programs and instructors are
available at AMA club sites to help you get started the right way. There are over
2,500 AMA chartered clubs across the country. Contact the AMA at the address
or toll-free phone number that follows.

IMPORTANT: Two of the most important things you can do to preserve the radio

controlled aircraft hobby are to avoid flying near full-scale aircraft and avoid
flying near or over groups of people.

BATTERY WARNINGS
