Safety Precautions - Carson APACHE 2CH Notice D'utilisation

Safety precautions

General
Read the Operating Manual carefully and keep it for future reference.
Make yourself familiar with all the instructions for À ight operation.
Radio controlled models are not toys, operating them has to be learned step by step.
If you do not have any experience with model airplanes, consult an experienced model airplane pilot or a model airplane
club for your ¿ rst À ight attempts.
Flying a radio controlled Helicopter is a fascinating hobby which has to be practised with the necessary caution and
respect. A radio controlled model helicopter can cause damage and injuries in case of uncontrolled flying conditions and the
user is liable for this.
As manufacturer and distributor of the model, we have no inÀ uence on the correct handling and operation of the device.
Make sure that you have suf¿ cient insurance cover when practising your hobby.
The contact address in Germany is : Deutsche ModellÀ iegerverband e.V. Rochusstr. 104 – 106, 53123 Bonn.
Children under 14 years of age should drive the model only together with a supervising adult.
Keep the model outside the reach of small children. They could inadvertently put the model into operation and thus injure
themselves, or put batteries and small parts into their mouths and swallow them.
Preparations
Never start À ying before you have made sure of the following points:
- Pay attention to visible damage on the model, remote control, battery charger, and lithium-polymer battery.
- Ensure that the model is functioning correctly and that all nuts, bolts and screws are properly tightened
- Batteries for transmitter and receiver are well charged and of the correct voltage
- Fully extend the transmitter antenna and make sure that nobody in your environment controls a model with the same
frequency (number on the crystal) and that there is no discernable interference.
- Make sure that all servos respond correctly to the signals of the transmitter.
- Always check the radio operation before starting the helicopter
Flight operation
The model is primarily conceived for indoor À ights since its own slight weight and instable À ight position resulting from the
construction type make it very susceptible to air movements.
Moreover the components are not dust- and moisture-proof.
Do not À y any longer than about 15 minutes (one battery charging)! Afterwards the motor must cool down for at
least 5 minutes.
Then recharge the battery. Avoid low discharge in any case.
Lay the antenna wire in such a way that it cannot get into movable parts. Ensure for traction relief by ¿ xing the wire to a loca-
tion on the fuselage with adhesive tape.
It is best to À y only in closed rooms
- with a free space of at least 3m in all directions
- on a smooth foundation
- without standing (furniture) or moving obstacles (persons, animals)
- in rooms without air draught
If you want to À y outdoors, do this
- only when there is no wind,
- at a distance of at least 3 km from the next of¿ cial model airplane À ying site,
otherwise you must make an agreement about frequency usage.
Do not fly
- if you are overtired or your reactivity is impaired in any way.
- at wind-force 1 or greater
Keep your model away from high voltage cables or radio masts.
-
- Never use the model when lightning is present.
Atmospheric disturbances can affect the signals of your remote controlling transmitter.
- Choose a suf¿ ciently open & large area; it should be free of obstacles.
- Always avoid running radio control models in restricted, con¿ ned or populated areas.
- Keep away from roads, highways, people and animals.
