AerocrAft cAm quAd user’s Guide

• Just because the Quad-Copter is small and is powered by electric motors doesn’t mean 

that you shouldn’t exercise caution when flying and operating it. The Quad-Copter can be 

dangerous if you do not fly it in a safe manner or do not pay close attention while flying it. 

You alone are responsible its actions during flight.

• We strongly suggest that when you first begin flying the Quad-Copter that you perform only 

basic maneuvers, such as hovering, until you are more familiar with its flight characteristics.

• The Quad-Copter has a safety feature that will prevent the propeller blades from spinning 

without first cycling the left control stick (throttle) from low to high and back to low. This 

prevents the possibility of the propeller blades accidentally spinning and harming you when 

you turn the Quad-Copter ON. 

• Always fly the Quad-Copter in a suitably large area free of obstructions. When using the Flip 

function, we recommend flying in an area no smaller than 10 feet square and 10 feet high.

• The Quad-Copter can be flown indoors or outdoors in light winds. Do not fly in winds greater 

than 10 MPH or in gusty winds. Make sure any spectators are behind you. 

• Always be conscious of the spinning propeller blades. Do not put your fingers in the spinning 

propeller blades.

• Always unplug the LiPo battery and remove it from the Quad-Copter after use. 
• Do not use any solvents to clean the Quad-Copter. Solvents will damage the plastic parts. 

Rubbing alcohol is safe to remove stubborn stains.

• The  radio  system  operates  on  the  2.4GHz  frequency  band.  The  2.4GHz  connection  is 

determined by the transmitter and receiver pair. Unlike ordinary crystal-based systems, the 

Quad-Copter can be flown without frequency control. This allows you to fly the Quad-Copter 

with others at the same time.

• To prevent any chance of unwanted RF interference, always turn the transmitter ON before 

turning  the  Quad-Copter  ON  and  always  turn  the  Quad-Copter  OFF  before  turning  the 

transmitter OFF.

• Never touch the transmitter antenna during use. Doing so can interfere with the RF signal, 

resulting in loss of control of the Quad-Copter.

• During flight, try not follow the Quad-Copter with the transmitter antenna, as this can result 

in a weakened RF signal. Try to keep the transmitter in the same position regardless of the 

location of the Quad-Copter.
