Out-of-control and dangerous situations can be
caused.
DO NOT use the product on rainy days since it may
cause malfunction if water gets inside the
transmitter/receiver.Ifitshouldbeusedbynecessity,
makesuretotakewaterproofmeasures.
Injuryduetoheatgeneration,fire,orelectricshockcan
occur.
Neverdisassembleormodifythisproduct.
The engine and the motor (in the case of an
electrically-driven model) can start rotating at high
speed,causingdanger.
Whenturningonthepowerswitch,setthetransmitter
throttlesticktothelowestspeedposition(wherethe
engine/motorrotationdoesnotbecomehigh)andturn
on the transmitter power switch and the receiver
powerswitchinthisorder.
For turning off power, turn off the receiver and the
transmitterinthisorder.
Injurycanbecaused.
Whenadjustingtheengine(motor),fullypayattention
tothepowerwhichcomesfromtherearside.
DONOTstarttheenginewiththetransmitterthrottlein
ahighspeedposition.Thisisverydangerous.
The2.4GHzbandisnotafrequencyexclusively
forusewithRCairplanes.Thisfrequencybandis

immediatelystopemittingradiowavesandtake
interferenceavoidancemeasures.
Ataracetrack/airport,minimizeuseofadevice
thatcanaffectthetransmitter/receiverandbe
suretoconfirmthesafetybeforehand.Also,
alwaysfollowinstructionsgivenbythefacility
