• If you have reason to assume that safe operation is no longer possible, disconnect the charger immedi
-
ately and secure it against inadvertent operation. Disconnect the charger from the plug-in mains adapter.
It can be assumed that operation without danger is no longer possible if the charger has any visible dam-
age, the charger no longer works, after extended storage under unsuitable conditions or after difficult
transport conditions.
d) Before Commissioning
• Always switch on the transmitter first and then connect the flight battery to the racecopter. This is the only
way for an attunement function to take place between transmitter and receiver (digital binding), so that
your model will react reliably to the control commands of your transmitter.
• Check the functional reliability of your model and of the remote control system. Watch out for any visible
damage such as defective plug connections or damaged cables.
• All moving parts of the model must run smoothly but should not have any play in their bearings.
• The flight battery required for operation must be charged before operation.
• Ensure that the batteries in the transmitter have a sufficient remaining capacity (transmitter indication). If
the batteries are empty, always replace the complete set, never individual cells only.
e) During Operation
• Do not take any risks when operating the product! Your own safety and that of your environment depends
completely on your responsible use of the model.
Improper operation can cause serious damage to people and property! Therefore make sure to keep a
sufficiently safe distance from persons, animals or objects during operation. Never try to grab the flying
model with your hand!
• When you are operating the model, always make sure that no parts of your body, other people or objects
come within the dangerous range of the propellers.
• Fly your model only if your ability to respond is unrestricted. The influence of tiredness, alcohol or medica
-
tion can cause incorrect responses.
• Motors, motor regulator and flight battery can heat during operation. For this reason, wait for 10 to 15
minutes before recharging or replacing the flight battery or taking off again with a second, already-charged
flight battery.
• Never switch off the remote control (transmitter) while the model is in use. After landing, always disconnect
the flight battery from the racecopter before switching off the remote control.
• Never switch off the remote control while the racecopter is still in operation.
• Never expose your model or the remote control to direct sunlight or excessive heat for an extended period
of time.
