b) Before operation
•
Select a suitable location to operate your model. Do not fly the model over people and bodies of water,
or near large buildings and transmission lines.
• When other models are operated in the 2.4 GHz band within the range of the remote control, check
whether the transmitters operated concurrently interfere with the models.
• When switching on this model, follow the procedure described below in a separate chapter. This ensures
that the transmitter and receiver are connected properly and that your model responds reliably to remote
control commands from your transmitter.
• Conduct regular checks to verify that the model and remote control are safe to use. Inspect the parts for
any visible signs of damage, such as broken connectors or damaged cables.
The propellers must rotate smoothly, but there must be no play in the bearing and no out-of-true running.
•
The flight battery required for operation must be charged according to instructions in this manual.
•
Make sure the transmitter batteries have sufficient remaining capacity (battery tester). If the batteries are
empty, replace all of them at the same time. Never replace individual batteries.
• Check before each operation the correct and secure position of the propellers.
• With running propellers, make sure that neither objects nor body parts are in the rotating and suction
area of the propellers.
c) During use
• Do not take any risks when using the product! Always use the model responsibly, otherwise you may
endanger yourself and your surroundings.
•
Improper use can cause serious injury and damage to property! Ensure that you maintain a sufficient
distance from people, animals and objects.
•
Only fly the model when you are fully alert and able to respond. Fatigue, alcohol and medication can
affect your ability to respond.
•
Do not fly the model towards spectators or towards yourself.
• Make sure the weather conditions are suitable for the model operation.
Only operate the model when visibility is good. Visibility can significantly be impaired by gaining fog, low
clouds or the onset of twilight. Do not operate the model in darkness, snowfall or rain.
•
The motors, flight controllers and flight battery can become hot during model operation.
For this reason, wait 5 to 10 minutes before recharging the flight battery or restarting the model with a
fully charged spare flight battery. The drive motors must be left to cool down to the ambient temperature.
• Always leave the remote control (transmitter) switched on when the model is in use. After landing, al-
ways switch off the model first and only then unplug the flight battery. Only then may the transmitter be
switched off.
• In case of a fault or a malfunction, establish the cause of the problem before using the model again.
• Do not expose the model or the remote control to direct sunlight or excessive heat for prolonged periods.
