SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Failure to follow these safety precautions 
may result in injury to yourself and others.

  Keep your face and body as well as all spectators away from the rotating plane 

of the blades whenever the battery is connected. Keep loose clothing, shirt 
sleeves, ties, scarfs, long hair or loose objects such as pencils or screwdrivers 
that may fall out of shirt or jacket pockets away from the rotors. The spinning 
blades of a model quadcopter can cause serious injury. When choosing a 
flying site for your RXS255, stay clear of buildings, trees and power lines. 

AVOID

DO NOT

 fly close to people or pets. Maintain 

a safe distance from the quadcopter.

  Your RXS255 should not be considered a toy. Because of its performance 

capabilities, the RXS255, if not operated correctly, could cause injury to you 
or spectators and damage to property.

  

DO NOT

 alter or modify the model. Doing so may result in an unsafe or unflyable 

model.

  When and if repairs are necessary you must correctly install all components so 

that the model operates properly. Please check the operation of the model 
before every flight to insure that all equipment is operating and that the model 
has remained structurally sound. Be sure to check connectors and propellers 
before each flight. Replace them if they show any signs of wear or fatigue.
