Dear customer,
These safety instructions are designed to ensure the safe operation of the
product and your personal safety. Read this section very carefully before
using the product.
a) General information
Caution, safety hazard!
This model has the potential to cause damage to property and/or individuals. Ensure
that you are sufficiently insured, e.g. by taking out private liability insurance.
If you already have such a policy, check with your insurance company that use of
this model is covered by the policy.
Important: In some EU countries, you are required to have insurance when using
a model aircraft.
Familiarize yourself with the local statutory regulations for using model aircraft. In
Germany, for example, the regulations for model aircraft are stipulated in the Ger-
man Air Traffic Act. Any breaches of the statutory regulations could lead to severe
penalties as well as restrictions to your insurance cover.
• The unauthorised conversion and/or modification of the product is prohibited for
safety and approval reasons.
• This product is not a toy and is not suitable for children under 14 years of age.
• The product must not become damp or wet.
• If you do not have sufficient knowledge of how to operate remote-controlled mod-
els, contact an experienced model user or a model club.
• Do not leave packaging material carelessly lying around, since it could become a
dangerous plaything for children.
• Should any questions arise that are not answered by this operating manual, con-
tact our Technical Advisory Service (contact information, see section 1) or another
expert.
• The operation and handling of remote controlled quadrocopters must be learned!
If you have never operated 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!
b) Before first use
• Select a suitable location to fly the helicopter.
• When switching the quadrocopter on, always follow the procedure outlined in a
separate section of these instructions. This ensures that the remote control and
receiver connect properly and that the model responds reliably to remote control
commands.
• 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 parts for any signs of damage, such as broken connectors or
damaged cables.
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.
• The flight battery must be charged before use.
• Always ensure that the batteries in the transmitter have sufficient capacity remain-
ing (see transmitter LED). 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 product! 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. Never try to grab
the flying model with your hand!
• Only fly the model when you are fully alert and able to respond. Fatigue, alcohol
and medication can affect your ability to respond.
• Keep objects and body parts away from the rotors when the rotors are moving.
• Do not fly the 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 5 to 10 minute break before recharging the flight battery or
restarting the model with a charged spare battery.
