designed and protected for this purpose. Moisture can cause damage
to electronics.

6. Never place any portion of the model in your mouth as it could cause
serious injury or even death.

7. Never operate your model with low batteries.

• RC models are composed of many precise electrical components. It is
important to keep the model and associated equipment away from
moisture and other contaminants. The introduction of exposure to
water or moisture in any form can cause the model to malfunction
or crash. Do not operate or expose to rain or moisture.

• To avoid a potential fire hazard from batteries, do not short, reverse
polarity, or puncture batteries. Battery charging should be done under
adult supervision at all times, at a location out of reach of children. Do
not mix Ni-Cad and Alkaline batteries.

• Make sure the batteries are installed correctly to ensure correct
polarity. If you do not plan to use your Quadrone for an extended
period of time, remove the batteries from the controller to avoid
battery leakage which may damage the controller. Please dispose
depleted batteries according to local laws and ordinances.

• Li-Polymer batteries have higher operational risks compared to other
batteries. It is imperative to follow proper operational guidelines. The
manufacturer and dealer assume no liability for accidental damages
caused by improper usage. Do not use any other charger other than
the supplied charger included in this packaging in order to avoid
potential fire or explosion. Do not crush, disassemble, burn,
or reverse polarity.

• RC models are made from various forms of plastic very susceptible to
damage or deformation due to extreme heat and cold temperatures.
Make sure not to store the model near any heat source or
adverse temperatures.
