Safety Precautions
• Carefully follow the directions and warnings for this model and any optional support
equipment you may use.
• The transmitter controls are positioned in one of two configurations (Mode 1 or Mode 2)
depending on the region in which you purchased your model. Both configurations are illustrated
in this manual. Be certain to confirm the controls of your model before you attempt to fly it.
• Never operate your model with low transmitter batteries.
• The helicopter has rotating blades that move at high speed, posing danger of damage and
injury. Pilots are responsible for any actions that result in damage or injury from the improper
operation of the helicopter. Choose an adequate flying space without obstacles. Do not
operate the helicopter near buildings, crowds of people, high-voltage power lines, or trees to
ensure the safety of yourself, others, and your model. Wear eye protection when operating
your helicopter and keep your hands, face, hair, loose clothing, and foreign objects away from
the rotating blades.
• This model has small parts that may pose a choking hazard. Keep all small parts and electrical
devices out of the reach of children and animals.
• Pets can become excited by radio-controlled models. Keep pets away from your model at all times.
• Keep the model in sight at all times during operation and flight. Discontinue operation
immediately if the model flies out of your field of view.
• Because your model is controlled by radio, it is subject to radio interference from many sources
that are beyond your control. Radio interference can cause momentary losses of radio control;
always allow a safety margin in all directions around the model to prevent collisions.
• When flying outdoors, do so only on a calm day when there is no wind. Do not operate your
model near buildings, power lines, or other hazards.
• When flying indoors, avoid locations with ceiling fans, hanging light fixtures, heating or air
conditioning vents, or any other obstacles that may interfere with or damage your model.
• Never attempt to retrieve your model from any location higher than your reach (such as
rooftops) or from any location that poses a safety hazard.
• Do not operate your model at night or anytime your line of sight to the model may be obstructed
or impaired in any way. Do not operate the model if you are tired or otherwise impaired.
• Moisture causes damage to electronics. Avoid exposing your helicopter, transmitter, and battery
to water.
