Note that the motor control (throttle) function on the transmitter must always be
moved to the OFF position as the first stage in preparing for a flight. To avoid the
danger of the electric motor bursting into life unexpectedly, always switch on the
transmitter first, and only then the receiving system. The opposite applies at the
end of a flight: always switch off the receiving system first, and finally the
transmitter.
Please don't misunderstand the purpose of these notes. We only want to make

you aware of the many dangers and hazards which can arise if you work
carelessly or irresponsibly. If you take reasonable care, model flying is a highly
creative, instructive, enjoyable and relaxing pastime.
Never endanger animals, spectators or other pilots.

Care and maintenance
Clean the model carefully after every session.
•
The model and transmitter should be cleaned using suitable cleaning materials

only. Ask at your model shop for details if you are uncertain.
Instructions and warnings relating to the use of LiPo batteries
Please read the instruction sheet included with every battery pack for general
information on the use of LiPo batteries.
General warnings
These batteries must not come into contact with fire or ashes.
The cells must not be allowed to contact fluids such as fresh water, salt water or
drinks. Avoid contact with liquids of all types.
Individual cells and batteries are by no means toys, and must never be allowed to get
into the hands of children. Store cells and batteries well out of the reach of children.
Batteries must not be left within reach or in the vicinity of babies or toddlers. If a child
should swallow a battery, call for a doctor or emergency medical assistance without
delay.
Batteries must not be placed in a microwave oven, nor subjected to pressure: the
results may be smoke and fire or worse.
Never attempt to dismantle Li-Po cells. Taking a battery apart can cause internal
short-circuits, which could result in gassing, fire, explosion and other problems.
The electrolyte and electrolytic fumes are injurious to health. Avoid direct contact with
the electrolyte at all costs. If the material gets in your eyes, on your skin or other part
of your body, it is essential to wash the affected area immediately with copious
amounts of clean water. Consult a doctor as soon as possible thereafter.
Batteries installed in a device should always be removed from the apparatus if it is
not to be used again in the immediate future. Always switch off such devices after
use to avoid discharging the cells to a dangerous level. Recharge the batteries in
good time. Store batteries on a non-flammable, heat-resistant and non-conductive
surface. If you allow a Li-Po battery to become deep-discharged, it will inevitably be
ruined, and must not be used again.
