• Please check the functional safety of your model and of the remote control system each time before you use the
model. Watch out for visible damage such as defective plug connections or damaged cables. All moving parts must
run smoothly, but should not have any play in their bearings.
• Should any questions arise that are not answered with the help of these operating instructions, contact our "Techni-
cal Advisory Service" (for contact information see chapter 1) or another expert.
b) Operation
• If you do not yet have sufficient knowledge on how to deal with remote-controlled models, please contact an expe-
rienced model sportsman or a model construction club.
• Always switch on the transmitter first. Then switch on the receiver in the model. Otherwise, the model might show
unpredictable responses!
• Never point the aerial of the transmitter directly onto the model. This has a considerable negative effect on signal
transmission to the model.
• Before operating the model, check whether the stationary model reacts as expected to the commands of the remote
control.
• When you operate the model, always make sure that no parts of your body, other people or objects come within the
dangerous range of the motors or any other rotating drive parts. Improper operation can cause serious damage to
people and property!
• Always make sure that the model is in your line of sight and do not operate it at night.
• Only operate your model if your ability to respond is unrestricted. The influence of tiredness, alcohol or medication
can cause incorrect responses.
• Operate your model in an area where you do not endanger other people, animals or objects. Only operate it on
private sites or in places which are specifically designated for this purpose.
• In case of an error, stop operating your model immediately and remove the cause of malfunction before you continue
to use the model.
• Do not operate your RC system during thunderstorms, under high-voltage power lines or in the proximity of radio
masts.
• Always leave the remote control system turned on as long as the model is in operation. To switch off the model,
always switch off the motor first, then switch off the receiver. It is only after this that the remote control system may be
turned off.
• Protect the remote control from dampness and heavy dirt.
• Do not expose the remote control system to direct sunlight or excessive heat for a longer period of time.
• If batteries are used as a transmitter power supply, make sure that they have sufficient remaining capacity (battery
checker). If the batteries are empty, always replace the complete set, never individual cells only.
• Do not take any risks when operating the product! Your own safety and that of your environment is solely down to
you being responsible when dealing with the model. You are solely responsible for the safe operation of the model!
