Be sure to read these Safety Notes before you assemble 

your model. Always keep to the procedures and settings re-

commended in the instructions.

If you are operating a radio-controlled model aircraft, heli-

copter, car or boat for the first time, we recommend that you 

enlist an experienced modeller to help you.

Safety Notes

Radio-controlled models are not toys in the usual sense of the term. 
Young persons under eighteen years should only be allowed to ope-
rate them under the supervision of an adult.
Building and operating these models requires technical expertise, 
manual skills, a careful attitude and safety-conscious behaviour. 
Errors, negligence and omissions in building or flying these models 
can result in serious personal injury and damage to property.
Since the manufacturer and vendor are not in a position to check 
that your models are built and operated correctly, all we can do is 
bring these hazards expressly to your attention. We deny all further 
liability.

Helicopter rotors, and all moving parts generally, 

constitute a constant injury hazard. It is essential to 

avoid touching such parts.

Please bear in mind that motors and speed control-

lers may become hot when operating. It is essential 

to avoid touching such parts.

Do not stand close to the hazard area around rotating 
parts when an electric motor is connected to the flight 
battery.
You must also take care to keep all other objects away 
from moving or rotating parts.

Observe the instructions provided by the battery ma-

nufacturer.

Overcharged or incorrectly charged batteries may explo-
de. Take care to maintain correct polarity.

Notes on the use of dry cells:

Do not attempt to recharge dry cells, do not open them, 
and do not incinerate them. Remove exhausted dry cells 
from the transmitter after use. Escaped electrolyte may 
ruin the transmitter.

Ensure the equipment is protected from dust, dirt and moisture 
contamination. Do not subject the system to excessive heat, cold 
or vibration.

Use the recommended charger only, and charge the batteries only 
for the prescribed period.
Check your equipment for damage at regular intervals, and re-
place defective components with genuine spare parts.
Do not re-use any devices which have been damaged in a crash or 
by water, even when they have dried out again. 
Send the equipment to the robbe Service Department for che-
cking, or replace the parts in question.
