Note:About flying
While you are getting ready to fly, if you place your transmitter on the ground ,be sure that
the wind won’t tip it over. If it is knocked over, the throttle stick may be accidentally moved,
causing the engine to speed up. Also, damage to your transmitter may occur.
Other than 2.4GHz system: Before operating, be sure to extend the transmitter antenna to its
full length, collapsed antenna will reduce your flying range and cause a loss of control.It is a
good idea to avoid pointing the transmitter antenna directly at the model, since the signal is
weakest in that direction.
In order to maintain complete control of your aircraft it is important that it remains visible at
all times .
Flying behind large objects such as buildings, grain bins, etc. are not suggested. Doing so may
result in the reduction of the quality of the radio frequency link to the model.
2.4GHz system: Do not grasp the transmitter module’s antenna during flight.Doing so may
degrade the quality of the radio frequency transmission.
2.4GHz system: As with all radio frequency transmissions, the strongest area of signal
transmission is from the sides of the 8CH transmitter module's antenna. As such, the antenna
should not be pointed directly at the model.If your flying style creates this situation,easily
move the antenna to correct this situation.
Warning!!!
Please don't fly in the rain! Water or moisture may enter the transmitter internal through gaps in the
antenna or joystick flight and cause your flight to instability even out of control. If inevitable will fly in
the wet weather (such as game), please be sure to use plastic bags or waterproof cloth to cover your
transmitter, please don't flight if there is lightning.
FCC Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant
to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can
be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
-- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
-- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
-- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
-- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the
user's authority to operate the equipment.
