manner. When fl ying, you are responsible for your own safety and
the safety of others around you. Follow these basic safety guidelines
at all times.

The spinning main rotor and tail rotor on this aircraft can be
dangerous! When operating/fl ying, always be aware of the spinning
rotors. Be careful not to let them come close to your body, other people
or loose clothing. Keep your hands, fi ngers and any article of clothing
away from the rotors. Keep spectators behind you when fl ying.
• Fly
only
on calm days. Gusty winds and winds over 5 MPH will make it
diffi cult (if not impossible) to control your helicopter
properly.
Important! Before you begin, please read the warnings
listed on the following page. Failure to comply with the
following recommendations could lead to bodily harm or injury.
The Megatech HeliChopper is not intended for those under 12

Safety Warnings
Please read these before operating your HeliChopper.
•
Do not attempt to disassemble or modify any of the HeliChopper’s
components or allow them to get wet. Electrical damage may occur that could
affect safe operation.
•
Only use the rechargeable battery pack provided with your HeliChopper. Using
any other type of battery will damage your helicopter and possibly make it dan-
gerous to operate.
•
Since your HeliChopper is controlled by a radio link, it may be subject to inter-
ference from outside radio sources. Do not fl y your helicopter if other models are
being operated on the same frequency in the area. (27Mhz)
•
It is very important to always use fresh alkaline batteries in the transmitter. We
recommend Megatech’s Golden Power battery series, designed specifi cally for
R/C products.
• Always
fl y your helicopter in a wide-open area, free from wires, trees, buildings
and other obstructions.
• Never
fl y your HeliChopper after dark.
•
Always take off from the heliport base. Never hold the HeliChopper when
launching. A sudden wind shift could send the helicopter in your direction, pos-
sibly resulting in injury.
• Avoid
fl ying in very hot or very cold weather. Your HeliChopper features an
automatic temperature guard. When the helicopter gets too hot, it will automati-
cally shut down and land to prevent overheating and protect the internal circuitry.
