b) Before Commissioning
• Switch on the transmitter and then the helicopter. This is the only way for an attunement function to take place bet-
ween transmitter and receiver, so that your model will react reliably to the control commands of your transmitter.
• Check the functional safety of the model and remote control system. Watch out for any visible damage such as
defective plug connections or damaged cables. All moving parts on the model must run smoothly but must not have
any tolerance in the bearing.
• The flight battery required for operation must be charged before operation. Ensure that the batteries in the trans-
mitter have a sufficient remaining capacity (transmitter indication). If the batteries are empty, always replace the
complete set, never individual cells only.
c) During Operation
• Do not take any risks when operating the product! Your own safety and that of your environment depends completely
on your responsible use of the model.
• Improper operation can cause serious damage to people and property! Therefore make sure to keep a sufficiently
safe distance from persons, animals or objects during operation. Never try to grab the flying model with your hand!
• Only fly your model if your ability to react is unlimited. The influence of tiredness, alcohol or medication can cause
incorrect responses.
• Motors, motor regulator and flight battery can heat during operation. For this reason, wait for 5 to 10 minutes before
recharging or replacing the flight battery or taking off again with a second, already-charged flight battery.
• Leave the remote control (transmitter) switched on while the model is in operation. After landing, always disconnect
the flight battery from the helicopter before switching off the remote control.
• Never switch off the remote control while the model helicopter is still in operation.
• Never expose your model and the remote control system to direct solar irradiation or great heat for an extended
period.
