Safety, Precautions, and Warnings

This model is controlled by a radio signal that is subject to interference from many sources outside your control. This 

interference can cause momentary loss of control so it is advisable to always keep a safe distance in all directions around 

your model, as this margin will help to avoid collisions or injury.

• Always operate your model in an open area away from cars, traffic, or people.
• Avoid operating your model in the street where injury or damage can occur.
• Never operate the model into the street or populated areas for any reason.
• Never operate your model with low transmitter batteries.
•  Carefully follow the directions and warnings for this and any optional support equipment (chargers, rechargeable 

battery packs, etc.) that you use.

• Keep all chemicals, small parts and anything electrical out of the reach of children.
•  Moisture causes damage to electronics. Avoid water exposure to all equipment not specifically designed and protected 

for this purpose.
