• Charge the flight battery, which is necessary for operation, as well as the rechargeable battery needed in the remote
control according the instructions indicated by the manufacturer.
• If batteries are used for the power supply of the transmitter, make sure that there is a sufficient rest capacity (battery
checker). If the batteries are empty, always replace the complete set, never individual cells only.
• To operate your model, always pull out the telescopic antenna to its full length as otherwise the transmitters presents
a considerable lower range and the transmitter output is strained higher than average.
• Always switch the transmitter on first. Only switch the flight battery of the model on afterwards. Otherwise, unexpected
reactions of the helicopter may occur and the rotors might run unintentionally!
• Always check the correct and tight fit of the main and tail rotor before operating the product.
• With running propellers, make sure that neither objects nor body parts are in the rotating and suction area of the
propellers.
c) During operation
• Do not take any risks when operating the model! 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, during operation, ensure a sufficient
safety distance to persons, animals and objects.
• 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 medicine can
cause incorrect responses.
• Do not direct your model towards spectators or towards you.
• Never point the telescope antenna of the transmitter directly onto the model. This significantly reduces the transmitter
signal transmission to the model.
• Motor, flight control system and flight battery can heat during operation of the model. Therefore, take a break of 5-10
minutes before re-charging the flight battery or before re-starting with a possibly existing spare flight battery. The
drive engine must cool down to ambient temperature.
• Always leave the remote control (transmitter) turned on, as long as the model is in operation. After landing, always
disconnect the flight battery first or switch the model off. It is only afterwards that the remote control may be turned
off.
• In case of a fault or a malfunction, correct the fault first then re-start the model.
• Don’t expose your model and the remote control for a longer period of time to direct sunlight or excessive heat.
