5. Product Description
The ready-to-y quadrocopter has 4 separate motors that drive one propeller each. Concurrent acceleration of all
propellers permits the quadrocopter to lift off of the ground and hover stably in the air at the corresponding propeller speeds.
For stabilisation in ight, the quadrocopter has elaborate gyro electronics able to recognise uncontrolled movements of the model and balance them out without delay. For the ight in a specic direction, the electronics in the model
recognise the control impulses of the transmitter and change the speeds of the individual motors accordingly. The
quadrocopter then tilts in the desired direction and the lift thus acts as drive as well. The quadrocopter ies in the
respective direction.
Two propellers on the model turn clockwise and two turn counter-clockwise. By targeted speed change of the two propeller groups against each other (right-ward rotating propellers turn a little faster and left-ward rotating propellers
turn a little slower or vice versa), it is possible that the quadrocopter can turn (yaw) while maintaining ight height
and position.
To better recognise alignment of the model in ight, the two front propellers are made of white plastic, and the two rear
propellers of black plastic. Additionally, the two front motors have red LEDs and the two rear ones have green LEDs.
A central electronics PCB in the middle of the quadrocopter contains all components that are required for stabilising and steering of the quadrocopter. The 2.4 GHz remote control system included in the delivery allows sensitive steer­ing of the model.
Beginners have the option of operating the transmitter in Beginner mode. The control reactions of the model are then clearly reduced (dual rate function). The quadrocopter reacts much more agilely in Sport and in Expert mode. On
demand, the quadrocopter can even y ips.
The quadrocopter has an integrated camera that can record pictures or videos on a microSD/microSDHC memory
card in ight at the push of a button.
For operation of the transmitter, 3 AAA/micro batteries (e.g. Conrad item no. 652278, order 3x) are required.

6. Safety Notes
In case of damage caused by non-compliance with these operating instructions, the warranty/guar-
antee will expire. We do not assume any liability for consequential damage!
We do not assume any liability for property damage or personal injury caused by improper use or
non-compliance with the safety instructions! In such cases the warranty/guarantee is voided.
Normal wear and tear during operation (e.g. worn-out motor-shaft bearings) are excluded from the guaran-
tee and warrantee, the same is the case for accidental damage (e.g. broken booms or propellers).
Dear customer, these safety instructions are not only for the protection of the product but also for your own
safety and that of other people. Therefore, read this chapter very carefully before taking the product into operation!
a) General
Caution, important note!
Operating the model may cause damage to property and/or individuals. Therefore, make sure that you are
sufciently insured when using the model, e.g. by taking out private liability insurance.
If you already have private liability insurance, verify whether or not operation of the model is covered by your
insurance before commissioning your model.
Observe: In some countries you are required to have insurance for all model aircraft!
• For safety and licensing (CE) reasons, unauthorised conversion and/or modications to the product are not permit­ted.
• This product is not a toy and not suitable for children under 14 years of age.
• The product must not become damp or wet.
• If you do not have sufcient knowledge as to how to deal with remote-controlled models, please seek the advice of
an experienced model maker or a model making club.
• Do not leave the packaging material lying around carelessly as it can become a dangerous toy for children.
• Should any questions arise that are not answered with the help of these operating instructions, contact our Technical
Advisory Service (for contact information see chapter 1) or another expert.
The operation and handling of remote controlled quadrocopters must be learned! If you have never steered
such a model, start especially carefully and get used to the reactions of the model to the remote control
commands rst. Be patient!

b) Before Commissioning
• Switch on the transmitter and then the quadrocopter. This is the only way for an attunement function to take place
between transmitter and receiver, so that your model will react reliably to the control commands of your transmitter.
• Check the functional reliability of your model and of the remote control system. Watch out for any visible damage
such as defective plug connections or damaged cables. All moving parts on the model must run smoothly but must not have any tolerance in the bearing.
• The ight battery required for operation must be charged before operation. Ensure that the batteries in the trans­mitter have a sufcient remaining capacity (see transmitter LED). If the batteries are empty, always replace the
complete set, never individual cells only.
c) During Operation
• Do not take any risks when operating the product! Your own safety and that of your environment depends completely
on your responsible use of the model.
• Improper operation may cause serious injury and property damage! Therefore make sure to keep a sufciently safe distance from persons, animals or objects during operation. Never try to grab the ying model with your hand!
• Fly your model only if your ability to respond is unrestricted. The inuence of tiredness, alcohol or medication can
cause incorrect responses.
• Motors, motor regulator and ight battery can heat during operation. For this reason, take a break of 5 to 10 minutes before recharging the ight battery.
• Never switch off the remote control (transmitter) while the model is in use. After landing, always switch off the quad-
rocopter before the remote control.
• Never switch off the remote control while the quadrocopter is still in operation.
• Never expose your model or the remote control to direct sunlight or excessive heat for an extended period of time.

7. Battery and Rechargeable Battery Notes
Although use of batteries and rechargeable batteries in everyday life is a matter of course today, there are
many dangers and problems.
Ensure that you observe the following general information and safety information when handling batteries
and rechargeable batteries.
• Keep batteries/rechargeable batteries out of the reach of children.
• Do not leave any batteries/rechargeable batteries lying around openly. There is a risk of batteries being swallowed
by children or pets. If swallowed, consult a doctor immediately!
• Batteries/rechargeable batteries must never be short-circuited, disassembled or thrown into re. There is a danger
of explosion!
• Leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries can cause chemical burns to skin. Wear suitable protective
gloves when handling them.
• Do not recharge normal batteries. There is a risk of re and explosion! Only charge rechargeable batteries (1.2 V)
intended for this purpose. Use suitable battery chargers. Batteries (1.5 V) are intended for one-time use only and must be disposed of properly when discharged.
• Always observe the correct polarity when inserting batteries or connecting the charger (observe plus/+ and minus/-).
Incorrect polarity will damage not only the transmitter but also the plane model and the batteries. There is a danger
of re and explosion.
• Always replace the whole set of batteries. Do not mix full batteries with half-full ones. Always use batteries/recharge-
able batteries of the same type and manufacturer.
• Never mix batteries and rechargeable batteries! Therefore, only use batteries for the remote control transmitter.
• If the device is not used for an extended period of time (e.g. storage), remove the inserted batteries from the remote
control to avoid damage from leaking batteries.
Attention!
Switch off the quadrocopter after ight. Do not leave the quadrocopter switched on when you are not using
the model (e.g. during transport or storage). Otherwise, the ight battery may be fully discharged and is thus
destroyed/unusable!
• Never charge the enclosed ight battery immediately after use. Always let the ight battery to cool down until it has
reached room or ambient temperature again.
• Only charge intact and undamaged ight batteries. If the outer isolation of the rechargeable battery is damaged or the battery is deformed or bloated, it must not be charged. There is acute danger of re or explosion!
• Never damage the ight battery covering, do not cut the foil cover, do not probe the rechargeable battery with sharp objects. There is a risk of re and explosion!
• Never recharge the ight battery unattended.
• Disconnect the quadrocopter from the charging cable when it is charged completely.
