SAFETY NOTES
We all want you to have many hours of pleasure in our mutual hobby of modelling, and safety is an
important aspect of this. It is absolutely essential that you read right through these instructions and
take careful note of all our safety recommendations.
If you are a beginner to the world of radio-controlled model aircraft, boats and cars, we strongly
advise that you seek out an experienced modeller in your fi eld and ask him for help and advice.
These instructions must be handed on to the new owner if you ever sell or dispose of the transmit-
ter.
Application
This radio control system may only be used for the purpose for which the manufacturer designed
it, i.e. for operating radio-controlled models which do not carry humans. No other type of use is
approved or permissible.
SAFETY IS NO ACCIDENT
and
RADIO-CONTROLLED MODELS ARE NOT PLAYTHINGS
Even small models can cause serious personal injury and damage to property if they are
handled incompetently.
