Precautions for use and maintenance

The MiniDrone is not suitable for children under 14 years of age.
The MiniDrone is a model aircraft designed for recreational  and  leisure  purposes.
The pilot must always maintain direct visual contact with the MiniDrone and control
its  trajectory.  The  MiniDrone  must  be  used  in  accordance  with  the  civil  aviation
rules in your country. You  should  only use  it in  suitable  spaces  so  you  are  always
able to ensure the safety of nearby people, animals and property. There are  some
public places (stations, airports, etc.) and roads where you may not be permitted to
use your MiniDrone.
To use your MiniDrone indoors, attach the hulls to protect the MiniDrone in case it
collides with another object.
The  propellers  of  the  MiniDrone  can  cause  injury to  people  or property  when  in
flight. Do not touch the MiniDrone  while  it’s  flying. Wait until  the  propellers  have
completely stopped before handling the MiniDrone. 
Only use accessories specified by the manufacturer. 
If sand or dust gets into the MiniDrone, irreversible damage may be caused and it
will no longer function properly. 
Do not use the MiniDrone in adverse weather conditions (rain, strong winds, snow)
or when visibility is poor (at night). 
Keep the MiniDrone away from high voltage power lines, buildings, and any other
potentially dangerous areas. 
Do not use this device close to any liquids. Do not place the MiniDrone on water or
damp surfaces, as it might cause irreversible damage.
Avoid subjecting the MiniDrone to any sudden significant changes in altitude.
Do not leave the MiniDrone in direct sunlight.
