Environmental/Operational Concerns

Know and observe local laws and regulations.

Make sure you have been sufficiently trained. 

Do not use the aircraft in severe weather conditions. These include high winds, thunderstorms, rain, snow and 
so forth. 

Do not use the aircraft near accidents, fire, or near locations where natural disasters like storm damage or tor-
nadoes have occurred. These places may have emergency and rescue personnel present who are not normally in 
the area.

Do not drop, launch, or otherwise project any dangerous payloads on or at any buildings, persons or animals. 

Respect the privacy of others when using a camera as your payload. Make sure you comply with local privacy 
laws, regulations, and moral standards.

Do not trespass into the private property of others or other restricted zones. 

Do not operate in the vicinity of manned aircraft, regardless of altitude.

Do not fly the aircraft in densely populated areas, including cities, sporting events, exhibitions, performances, 
etc. 

Do not fly the aircraft near or inside No Fly Zones specified by local laws and regulations. 

Do not fly the aircraft indoors. The RangePro X8 was designed for outdoor flight with GPS lock.

Shipping Lithium Polymer Batteries

Lithium polymer batteries are flammable and are thus governed by specific regulations. The battery for your 
RangePro X8 was shipped separately. Be sure to save the shipping material that comes with the battery, because 
the materials can be reused for future shipments. See Appendix A,

 “Shipping Lithium Polymer Batteries”

 on 

page 17 or the 

TerraView Lithium Battery Shipping Notice

 for additional details.

.

Federal regulations prohibit the shipping of large Lithium based batteries with other 
equipment. Regulations may change, so regardless of whether you are shipping by air 
or by ground, be sure to check with your carrier before packing and labeling batteries for 
shipment.
