b)
Before first use
•
Select an appropriate site for the operation of your model.
• To operate the model, first switch on the transmitter and then the quadrocopter. This is the only way to
tune the transmitter and receiver, so that your model will react reliably to the control commands of your
transmitter.
•
Make sure that no other models are being operated on the same 2.4 GHz band (transmitter frequency)
within the range of the remote control. Always ensure that no 2.4 GHz transmitters operated at the same
time interfere with your model.
•
Check the functional safety of your model and of the remote control system. Inspect the parts for any
signs of damage, such as broken connectors or damaged cables. All movable parts on the model have
to be running smoothly; however, there must be no play in the bearing.
•
Check before each operation that the rotors are in the correct and secure position.
• The flight battery required for operation must be charged before use.
• Always make sure that the batteries in the transmitter have a sufficient capacity remaining (see transmitter
LED). If the batteries are empty, replace all of the batteries together. Never replace individual batteries.
c) During use
•
Do not take any risks when using the product! Always use the model vehicle responsibly, otherwise you
may endanger yourself and your surroundings.
•
Improper use can cause serious injury and damage to property! Ensure that you stay a safe distance
away from people, animals and objects.
•
Fly your model only if your ability to respond is unrestricted. Fatigue, alcohol and medication can affect
your ability to respond.
•
When the rotors are running, make sure that there are no objects or body parts in the rotors’ turning
range or intake area.
•
Do not direct your model towards spectators or towards yourself.
• Never try to grab hold of the flying quadrocopter with your hands.
• Motors, flight regulator and flight battery alike can become hot during operation. For this reason, take a
break of 5 to 10 minutes before recharging the flight battery.
• Remove the flight battery from the quadrocopter to recharge it. Do not charge the rechargeable battery
while it is still in the quadrocopter.
•
Always leave the remote control (transmitter) turned on as long as the model is in operation. After land-
ing, always switch off the quadrocopter first before you switch off the remote control.
•
Never turn the transmitter off during operation while the quadrocopter is still running.
•
Do not expose the model or the remote control to direct sunlight or excessive heat for prolonged periods.
•
In the event of a heavy crash (e.g. from a high altitude), the electric gyro sensors can be damaged.
Therefore, the model must be tested for full functionality before flying again!
•
In the event of a crash you must immediately switch off the rotor motors. Rotating rotors may be dam-
aged if they come into contact with obstructions or in the event of impacts. Before flying again, they must
be checked for possible cracks or breakages!
•
To avoid damaging the model in a crash caused by undervoltage or by a deep discharge of the battery,
we recommend observing the undervoltage light and alarm signals at all times when flying the model.
