Safety Instructions | 7
7. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read the operating instructions carefully and especially
observe the safety information. If you do not follow the
safety instructions and information on proper handling
in this manual, we assume no liability for any resulting
personal injury or damage to property. Such cases will
invalidate the warranty/guarantee.
7.1 Persons/Product
> The device is not a toy. Keep it out of the reach of children and pets.
> Do not leave packaging material lying around carelessly. These may become
dangerous playing material for children.
> If it is no longer possible to operate the product safely, take it out of operation and
protect it from any accidental use. Safe operation can no longer be guaranteed if the
product:
» is visibly damaged,
» is no longer working properly,
» has been stored for extended periods in poor ambient conditions, or
» has been subjected to any serious transport-related stresses. The product
must not become damp or wet. It uses delicate electronic components which
are sensitive to temperature uctuations and are optimised for a particular
temperature range. Operating temperatures below 0°C must be avoided.
> Do not place the product under any mechanical stress.
> Handle the product carefully. Jolts, impacts or a fall even from a low height can damage
the product.
> Never expose the product to direct sunlight or excessive heat for an extended period
of time.
> Do not place the »Transmitter on the ground when model and »Transmitter are turned
on. In case the »Transmitter tips over, the motors may accidentally start and the model
take off.
> Do not use the product during rainy weather or thunderstorms, in wet conditions, or
when lightning is expected or present.
7.2 Radio signal
> Maintain a distance of at least 20 cm between the »Transmitter’s antenna and persons.
> Large objects, walls, pillars, etc. may reduce the radio signal quality, which may result
in the loss of control over the model. Avoid ying behind such objects.
> High voltage power lines or communication broadcasting towers may inuence the
quality of the radio signal and lead to signal loss. Keep sufcient distance.
> Do not touch or hold the »Transmitter’s antenna during operating. This may
consequently degrade the quality of the transmitted signal.
> The strongest area of transmission is located at the sides of the antenna. As such, do
not point the antenna directly at the model. You may easily correct this situation by
adusting the angle between antenna and model (e.g. Slightly turn the »Transmitter to
the left or right).
7.3 Before commissioning
> Before every ight, check the functional reliability of the product. Watch out for any
visible damage such as defective plug connections or damaged cables and wires.
> Before you y, make sure the batteries have sufcient capacity. If the batteries are
empty, always replace the complete set.
> Before you turn on the »Transmitter, move sticks and set switches to their neutral or
zero positions.
> Always switch on the »Transmitter rst before connecting the battery to the model.
> Test all controls and ensure proper functioning. If »Transmitter and model support "Fail
Safe" functionality run the necessary tests before every ight.
8 | Unpacking
7.4 During operation
> Do not take any risks when operating the model. Your own safety and that of your
environment is solely down to you being responsible when dealing with the model.
> Use the product only if your ability to respond is unrestricted. The inuence of tiredness,
alcohol or medication can cause incorrect responses.
>
Never switch off the »Transmitter while the model is in use. After landing, always disconnect
the ight battery rst and then switch the »Transmitter off.
7.5 Batteries
> Correct polarity must be observed while inserting the batteries.
> Batteries should be removed from the device if it is not used for a long period of time to
avoid damage through leaking. Leaking or damaged batteries might cause acid burns
when in contact with skin, therefore use suitable protective gloves to handle corrupted
batteries.
> Batteries must be kept out of reach of children. Do not leave batteries lying around.
There is a risk that children or pets swallow them.
> All batteries should be replaced at the same time. Mixing old and new batteries in the
device can lead to battery leakage and device damage.
> Batteries must not be dismantled, short-circuited or thrown into re. Never recharge
non-rechargeable batteries. There is a risk of explosion!
7.6 Miscellaneous
> Consult an expert when in doubt about operation, safety or connection of the device.
> Maintenance, modications and repairs are to be performed exclusively by an expert
or at a qualied shop.
> If you have questions that remain unanswered by these operating instructions, contact
our technical support service or other technical personnel.
