Safety Precauons
As the owner and user of this product, you are solely responsible for operang it in a manner that does not endanger
yourself and others or result in damage to the product or property.
• Be cauous with the propellers when the motors are running. Do not come into contact with rotang propellers
as serious injury could result.
• Keep a safe distance, in all direcons, around your aircra to avoid possible collisions or injury. This aircra
is controlled by a radio signal that is subject to interference from many outside sources and could result in a
momentary loss of control.
• Always avoid water exposure to all equipment not specically designed and protected for this purpose. Moisture
can damage unprotected electronics.
• Make sure to keep all chemicals, small parts and anything electrical out of the reach of children.
Age Recommendaons
This product is not a toy. Not for use by children under 14 years of age.
Baery Safety Precauons
Important Note: Lithium Polymer (LiPo) baeries are more volale than the alkaline, NiCad and NiMH baeries
used in other RC applicaons. All instrucons and warnings must be followed exactly to prevent possible personal
injury or damage to property, including by re. By handling, charging, or using the included LiPo baery you assume
all potenal risks. If you do not agree with these condions, please return your complete product in new, unused
condion to the place of purchase immediately.
Important - Please read the following safety instrucons and warnings before handling, charging, or using the
included baery.
• You must charge you LiPo baery in a safe area away from any ammable materials.
• Never charge the LiPo baery unaended at any me. When charging the baery you should always remain in
constant observaon of the baery to monitor the process and react immediately to potenal problems you
observe.
• Aer discharging the baery during operaon you must allow it to cool to ambient room temperature before
aempng to recharge. Also, it is NOT recommended that you completely discharge the baery before charging.
It is safe to charge parally discharged baeries when using an appropriate LiPo charger.
• For charging the baery you must use only the included charger. Failure to do so may result in a re causing
property damage and/or personal injury. DO NOT use a NiCad or NiMh charger to charge your new LiPo baery.
• If, at any me during the charge or discharge process, the baery begins to “balloon” or swell, disconnue
charging or discharging immediately! Quickly and safely disconnect the baery before placing it in a safe, open
area away from ammable materials for observaon for at least 15 minutes. Connuing to charge or discharge a
baery that has started to “balloon” or swell can result in a re. Important note: A baery that has “ballooned”
or swollen even a small amount must be removed from service immediately and completely.
• Never discharge a LiPo baery below 3V per cell.
• Always disconnect a baery from the ESC when the product is not in use.
• Avoid connually operang the baery to LVC (Low Voltage Cuto) as this could result in damage to the baery.
• Store the baery parally charged (approximately 50% charged or 3.85V per cell) at room temperature
(approximately 68º to 77º Fahrenheit) in a dry area for best results.
• When transporng or temporarily storing the baery, the temperature range should be between 40º and 100ºF.
Do not store the baery inside a hot car or in direct sunlight or the baery could be damaged or even catch re.
• LiPo cells should not be discharged below 3.0V each. In the case of this 1-cell, 3.7V baery you should not allow
the voltage to fall below 3.0V during operaon.
• Do not over-discharge the LiPo baery, doing so could result in reduced power, lower run mes or complete
failure of the baery.
NOTE: Your aircra features a “so” LVC (Low Voltage Cuto) that smoothly reduces power (regardless of your
throle posion) to let you know the baery is near the minimum voltage to avoid damage to your baery.
