Warning
Conduct Tests
Prior to operation always preform a range test.
Even one abnormality in the R/C system may cause loss of control.
[Range Test Procedure]
Have a friend hold the model, or place on a stand where the wheels or prop can not come
in contact with any object. Collapse the transmitter antenna and operate from a distance
of about 10 yards. Be sure to check the movement of each servo to make sure they
follow the movement of the steering wheel and throttle trigger. If the servos do not follow
the commands from the transmitter or any type of interference is detected, Do Not oper-
ate the model.
Fully extend the transmitter antenna.
If the transmitter antenna is not fully extended range will be reduced and control may be
lost.
Prohibited
Do not operate two or more models on the same frequency at the same time.
Operation of two or more models on the same frequency at the same time will cause
interference and loss of control of both models.
AM, FM and PCM are different methods of modulation. Nonetheless the same frequency
can not be used at the same point in time, regardless of the signal format.
Do not operate outdoors on rainy days
Never operate in the rain or run through puddles.
The transmitter, receiver, batteries and most servos, and speed controls are not water-
proof. Contact with any type of moisture or immersion in water or snow will cause damage
along with possible loss of control. Should any type of moisture enter any component of
the system immediately stop using the R/C system and return to our service center for
inspection.
Prohibited
Do not operate when visibility is limited.
Should you loss sight of the model a collision or other dangerous situation may occur.
Prohibited
Do not operate near people or roads.
Do not operate near high tension power lines or communication broadcasting antennas.
Prior to the operation of any model be sure the area you plan to use is safe. Be aware of
all object that may be in the path of your model. Do not operate the model where people
or any type of moveable object could stray in the path of your model. Control loss due to
interference, component failure, loss of sight or low battery voltage could result in serious
injury to yourself and others as well as damage to your model.
Prohibited
Do not Operate your R/C system within 1 mile of another site where radio control activity
may occur.
Interference from other R/C systems will cause loss of control.
