c) During Operation
• Do not take any risks when operating the product! Your own safety and that of your environment is solely down to you being responsible when dealing with the
model.
• Improper operation may cause serious injury and property damage! Therefore make sure to keep a sufficiently safe distance to persons, animals or objects
during operation.
• Select a suitable area to operate your model plane.
• Fly your model only if your ability to respond is unrestricted. The influence of tiredness, alcohol or medication can cause incorrect responses.
• Do not direct your model towards spectators or towards yourself.
• Never point the aerial of the transmitter directly onto the model. This significantly impairs signal transmission to the model.
• Never switch off the remote control (transmitter) while the model is in use. After landing, always disconnect the receiver battery first or switch off the model. It
is only after this that the remote control may be turned off.
• In case of a defect or a malfunction, remove the problem before using the model again.
• Never expose your model or the remote control to direct sunlight or excessive heat for an extended period of time.
7. Notes on Batteries and Rechargeable Batteries
• Keep batteries/rechargeable batteries out of the reach of children.
• Do not leave any batteries/rechargeable batteries lying around openly. There is a risk of batteries being swallowed by children or pets. In this case, see a
doctor immediately!
• Batteries/rechargeable batteries must never be short-circuited, disassembled or thrown into fire. There is a danger of explosion!
• Leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries can cause chemical burns to skin. Wear suitable protective gloves when handling them.
• Do not recharge normal batteries. There is a risk of fire and explosion! Only charge rechargeable batteries intended for this purpose. Use suitable battery
chargers.
• When inserting batteries/rechargeable batteries or when connecting a battery pack observe correct polarity (note plus/+ and minus/-).
• If the device is not used for an extended period of time (e.g. storage), remove the inserted batteries (or rechargeable batteries) from the remote control to avoid
damage from leaking batteries/rechargeable batteries.
• Recharge the NiMH batteries about every 3 months. Otherwise, so-called deep discharge may result, rendering the rechargeable batteries useless.
• Always replace the entire set of batteries or rechargeable batteries. Never mix fully charged batteries/rechargeable batteries with partially discharged ones.
Always use batteries or rechargeable batteries of the same type and manufacturer.
• Never mix batteries and rechargeable batteries!
• When dealing with LiPo rechargeable batteries, observe the specific safety information of the manufacturer!
