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 can cause serious damage to people and property! Therefore, make sure that there is a sufficient safety distance to any persons, animals
or objects during operation.
• Select an appropriate site for the operation of your model airplane.
• 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 telescope aerial of the transmitter directly onto the model. This significantly reduces the transmitter signal transmission to the model.
• Motor, flight control system and flight battery may heat up during operation of the model. For this reason, wait for 5 to 10 minutes before recharging or replacing
the flight battery. The drive engine must cool down to ambient temperature.
• Never switch off the remote control (transmitter) while the model is in use. After landing, always disconnect the flight battery first or switch the model off. 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
Make sure to observe the following information and safety instructions when handling batteries or 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. If swallowed, consult
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 may cause acid burns when coming into contact with skin. Use suitable protective gloves.
• 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 NiCd or NiMH rechargeable batteries about every 3 months, because otherwise there may be a total discharge due to self-discharge, which
makes 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 handling LiPo accumulators, observe the special safety notices of the accumulator manufacturer.
