GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
WARNING:
Failure to use this product in the intended manner as described in the quick start guide and instruction manual can
result in damage to the product, property and/or cause serious injury. A Radio Controlled (RC) multirotor aircraft, APV platform,
drone, etc. is not a toy! If misused it can cause serious bodily harm and damage to property.
WARNING:
As the user of this product you are solely and wholly responsible for operating it in a manner that does not endanger
yourself and others or result in damage to the product or the property of others.
Keep your hands, face and other parts of your body away from the spinning propellers/rotor blades and other moving parts at
all times. Keep items that could impact or become entangled away from the propellers/rotor blades including debris, parts, tools,
loose clothing, etc.
Always operate your aircraft in open areas that are free from people, vehicles and other obstructions. Never fly near or above
crowds, airports or buildings.
To ensure proper operation and safe flight performance never attempt to operate your aircraft nearby buildings or other
obstructions that do not offer a clear view of the sky and can restrict GPS reception.
Do not attempt to operate your aircraft in areas with potential magnetic and/or radio interference including areas nearby
broadcast towers, power transmission stations, high voltage power lines, etc.
Always keep a safe distance in all directions around your aircraft to avoid collisions and/or injury. This aircraft is controlled by a
radio signal subject to interference from many sources outside your control. Interference can cause momentary loss of control.
To ensure proper and safe operation of the automatic landing function in Home Mode you must start the motors with the aircraft
in a position that has at least 10 feet (approximately 3 meters) of clear and open space around it and achieve a proper GPS lock.
Do not attempt to operate your aircraft with any worn and/or damaged components, parts, etc. (including, but not limited to,
damaged propellers/rotor blades, old batteries, etc.).
Never operate your aircraft in poor or severe weather conditions including heavy winds, precipitation, lightning, etc.
Always operate your aircraft starting with a fully charged battery. Always land as soon as possible after the first level low voltage
battery warning or land immediately after the second level low voltage battery warning (as indicated by the vibrations and
audible alerts from the transmitter/personal ground station).
Always operate your aircraft when the voltage of the battery in the transmitter/personal ground station is in a safe range (as
indicated by the battery charge status icon on the screen of the transmitter/personal ground station).
Always keep the aircraft in clear line of sight and under control, and keep the transmitter/personal ground station powered on
while the aircraft is powered on.
Always move the throttle control stick down fully and turn off the motors in the event the propellers/rotor blades come into
contact with any objects.
Always allow components and parts to cool after use before touching them and flying again.
Always remove batteries after use and store/transport them per the corresponding guidelines.
Avoid water exposure to all electronic components, parts, etc. not specifically designed and protected for use in water. Moisture
causes damage to electronic components and parts.
Never place any portion of the aircraft or any related accessories, components or parts in your mouth as doing so could cause
serious injury or even death.
Always keep chemicals, small parts and electronic components out of the reach of children.
Carefully follow the instructions and warnings included with this aircraft and any related accessories, components or parts
(including, but not limited to, chargers, rechargeable batteries, etc.).
CAUTION:
The electronic speed controls (ESCs) installed in TYPHOON are not compatible with any other product, and
TYPHOON is not compatible with any other ESCs. Use of any other ESCs in TYPHOON will cause a crash, which may result in
damage to the product, property and/or cause serious injury.
BATTERY WARNINGS AND USAGE GUIDELINES
WARNING: Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries are significantly more volatile than alkaline, NiCd or NiMH batteries. All instructions
and warnings must be followed exactly to prevent property damage and/or serious injury as the mishandling of LiPo batteries
can result in fire. By handling, charging or using the included LiPo battery you assume all risks associated with LiPo batteries. If
you do not agree with these conditions please return the complete product in new, unused condition to the place of purchase immediately.
You must always charge the LiPo battery in a safe, well-ventilated area away from flammable materials.
Never charge the LiPo battery unattended at any time. When charging the battery you must always remain in constant observation
to monitor the charging process and react immediately to any potential problems that may occur.
After flying/discharging the LiPo battery you must allow it to cool to ambient/room temperature before recharging.
To charge the LiPo battery you must use only the included charger or a suitably compatible LiPo battery charger. Failure to do so may
result in a fire causing property damage and/or serious injury.
If at any time the LiPo battery begins to balloon or swell, discontinue charging or discharging immediately. Quickly and safely
disconnect the battery, then place it in a safe, open area away from flammable materials to observe it for at least 15 minutes.
Continuing to charge or discharge a battery that has begun to balloon or swell can result in a fire. A battery that has ballooned or
swollen even a small amount must be removed from service completely.
Do not over-discharge the LiPo battery. Discharging the battery too low can cause damage to the battery resulting in reduced power,
flight duration or failure of the battery entirely. LiPo cells should not be discharged to below 3.0V each under load.
Store the LiPo battery at room temperature and in a dry area for best results.
When charging, transporting or temporarily storing the LiPo battery the temperature range should be from approximately 40–120°
F (5–49° C). Do not store the battery or aircraft in a hot garage, car or direct sunlight. If stored in a hot garage or car the battery can
be damaged or even catch fire.
Never leave batteries, chargers and power supplies unattended during use.
Never attempt to charge low voltage, ballooned/swollen, damaged or wet batteries.
Never allow children under 14 years of age to charge batteries.
Never charge a battery if any of the wire leads have been damaged or shorted.
Never attempt to disassemble the battery, charger or power supply.
Never drop batteries, chargers or power supplies.
Always inspect the battery, charger and power supply before charging.
Always ensure correct polarity before connecting batteries, chargers and power supplies.
Always disconnect the battery after charging.
Always terminate all processes if the battery, charger or power supply malfunctions.
