Dear Customer,
These safety instructions are not only for the protection of the product but also for your own safety and the safety of others. This is why you should
read this section very carefully before using the product!
a) General
Caution, important note!
Operating the model can lead to material and/or personal damage. Therefore, make sure that you are properly insured when using the model, e.g.
by taking out private liability insurance. If you already have insurance, enquire whether the operation of the model is covered before operating it.
Please note: In some EU countries, you are required to have insurance for any flying models!
• The unauthorized conversion and/or modification of the product or of its components is inadmissible for safety and approval reasons (CE).
• The product is not a toy. It is not suitable for children under 14 years of age.
• The product must not become damp or wet.
• If you do not have sufficient knowledge as to how to deal with remote-controlled models, please seek the advice of an experienced model maker or a model
making club.
• Do not leave packaging material lying around unattended. It can become a dangerous toy for children.
• Should any questions arise that are not answered in the operating instructions, contact our technical support (see chapter 1 for contact information) or another
expert.
b) Before operation
• Unroll the aerial wire of the receiver in the model to its complete length. Parts protruding from the model must not be bent toward the front, attached to the
model or cut off. Reception is optimal when the aerial wire loosely protrudes from the model and is dragged along in flight.
• Make sure that no other models are operated on the same channel (transmitter frequency) within the range of the remote control. Otherwise, you will lose
control of the remote-controlled models! Always use different channels if you wish to operate two or several models in the immediate proximity of each other
simultaneously.
• Regularly check the functional reliability of your model and the remote control system. Watch out for 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.
• Charge the flight battery necessary for operation as well as rechargeable batteries in the remote control according to the instructions provided by the
respective manufacturer.
• If batteries are used as the power supply of the transmitter, make sure that there is sufficient remaining capacity (battery tester). If the batteries are empty,
always replace the complete set, never replace individual cells.
• Before operation, always check the settings of the trim slider on the transmitter for the various steering directions and, if necessary, adjust them.
• To operate your model, always pull out the telescopic aerial completely as the transmitter would otherwise cover a decisively smaller range and the amplifier
of the transmitter would be overloaded significantly.
• Always switch on the transmitter first. Then the flight battery of the model may be connected. Otherwise, the electric model plane might show unpredictable
responses and the propeller might start unintentionally!
• Always check if the propeller is correctly and securely installed before operating the product.
• Make sure that no objects or body parts are in the range or the suction area of the propeller while it is rotating.
