1. Avoid damage to property and injury. Read and follow this manual and included video completely, observing all
instructions and safety directions. Think safety first.
2. Keep clear of the propeller, even when it isn't spinning as it could be turned on by accident. Beware of hair
becoming entangled in the propeller, especially while launching the Aerobird Xtreme™ on a windy day or
injury may occur.
3. Do not fly when it's too windy or you may lose control and crash, causing injury or damage. Never fly the
Aerobird Xtreme near people, vehicles, train tracks, buildings, power lines, water, hard surfaces or trees. Never
allow any one to attempt to catch the Aerobird Xtreme while it's in flight or serious injury can result.
4. Adult supervision is recommended for ages 14 and under.
5. Battery Charging: Only use a battery charger intended for use with the Aerobird Xtreme battery. Never leave
charger unattended while charging. This will help prevent overcharging. While charging, place the battery on a
heat resistant surface. Do not lay it on carpet or upholstery while charging.
6. Never cut into the wires on the battery charger or airplane as serious injury can occur. Causing the battery to
"short out" (crossing negative and positive bare wires) can cause fire, serious injury and damage.
7. Hold the plane securely, and keep all body parts away from the propeller when the flight battery is plugged in.
When you finish flying the Aerobird Xtreme, always unplug the battery before you turn off the transmitter.
8. Never fly on the same frequency as another RC vehicle in your area. The frequency of the Aerobird Xtreme is
shown on stickers on the back of the transmitter.
