b) Before Commissioning 

•  Always first switch on the transmitter and then connect the flight battery to 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 safety of the model and 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 flight battery required for operation must be charged before operation. Ensure that the batteries in 

the transmitter have a sufficient remaining capacity (see transmitter LED). If the batteries are empty, 

always replace the complete set, never individual cells only.

• 

Please use batteries only instead of rechargeable batteries for the transmitter.

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 can cause serious damage to people and property! Therefore make sure to keep a 

sufficiently safe distance from persons, animals or objects during operation. Never try to grab the flying 

model with your hand! 

•  Fly your model only if your ability to respond is unrestricted. The influence of tiredness, alcohol or medi

-

cation can cause incorrect responses.

•  Motors, motor regulator and flight battery can heat during operation. For this reason, take a break of 5 to 

10 minutes before recharging the flight battery. 

•  Leave the remote control (transmitter) switched on while the model is in operation. After landing, always 

disconnect the flight battery from the quadrocopter before switching off the remote control.

• 

Never switch off the remote control while the quadrocopter is still in operation.

•  Never try to grab the flying quadrocopter with your hand or to land on your outstretched hand.
• 

Never expose your model or the remote control to direct sunlight or excessive heat for an extended 

period of time.
