Before first use
•
The operation and handling of remote controlled quadcopters must be learned! If you have never oper-
ated a model of this kind, start with particular care and get used to the reactions of the model to the
remote control commands first. Be patient!
• Ensure that there are no other models operating on the same frequency (2.4 GHz) within range of the
remote control. Always check whether there are any other 2.4 GHz remote control systems that may
interfere with the model.
•
Conduct regular checks to verify that the model and remote control are safe to use. Inspect the model
for any signs of damage, such as broken mechanical parts (e.g. rotors).
•
All moving parts on the model should move freely, but there must be not any slackness in the bearing.
•
Check that the rotors are secure and in the correct position before each use.
•
Keep objects and body parts away from the rotors when the rotors are moving.
•
Charge the built-in quadcopter rechargeable battery in accordance with these instructions.
• Ensure that the remote control batteries have sufficient power remaining (use a battery tester). If the
batteries are empty, replace all of the batteries at the same time. Never replace individual batteries.
c) During use
•
Do not take any risks when using the model! Always use the model responsibly, otherwise you may
endanger yourself and your surroundings.
• Improper use can cause serious injury and damage to property! Ensure that you maintain a sufficient
distance from people, animals and objects.
• Select a suitable location to fly the quadcopter. Familiarize yourself with the local regulations for using
model aircraft.
• Only fly the model when you are fully alert and able to respond. Fatigue, alcohol and medication can
affect your ability to respond.
• Do not fly the model towards spectators or towards yourself.
• The motor, electronics and rechargeable flight battery can heat up when operating the model. For this
reason, take a break of 5 to 10 minutes before charging the quadcopter rechargeable battery.
• Always leave the remote control turned on when the model is in use. After landing, always flick the on/
off switch on the quadcopter to the "off" position ("OFF"). Only then can the remote control transmitter
be turned off.
•
In case of a fault or a malfunction, establish the cause of the problem before using the model again.
•
Do not expose the model or the remote control to direct sunlight or excessive heat for prolonged periods.
•
In the event of a severe crash (e.g. from a high altitude), the electronic gyro sensors may be damaged.
Always check that the model is functioning properly before flying it again!
