• The flight storage battery required for operation as well as any storage batteries used in the remote control are to be charged according to the manufacturer specifica-

tions.

• Always pull the telescoping antenna on the remote control all the way out for the operation of your model as the remote control will otherwise have a significantly smaller

range and the transmitter power amplifier will be excessively strained.

• Always turn on the remote control first. Only afterwards, may the flight storage battery of the model be connected and the model turned on. Otherwise, unforeseeable

reactions on the part of the electric helicopter may result and the rotors could begin to rotate inadvertently!

• When the motor is running, ensure that neither objects nor body parts are located in the rotational and danger areas of the rotors.

• If batteries are used to power the remote control, ensure that there is adequate remaining capacitance (battery tester). If the batteries are empty, then always change

the entire set and never only replace individual cells.

• Each time before you operate the rc helicopter, the settings of the trim sliders on the remote control must be checked and if applicable, adjusted for the different control

directions.

c) During operation

• When operating the product, do not take any risks! Your own safety and that of your surroundings depend solely on your responsible use of the model.

• Improper operation may result in serious injury to persons and damages to property! For this reason, also ensure that there is a sufficient amount of distance to persons,

animals, and objects when flying the model.

• Only fly your model if your ability to respond is not restricted. Fatigue, being under the influence of alcohol or medication may result in incorrect responses.

• Never fly directly towards bystanders or yourself.

• The motor, the electronics, and the flight storage battery may become hot during operation. For this reason, take a 5–10 minute break before you recharge the flight

storage battery and/or continue flying with any available replacement flight storage battery.

• Always leave the remote control (transmitter) on as long as the model is being operated. After landing, always deactivate the flight storage battery of the model only once

you have landed it. Only after this has been done, may the remote control be turned off.

• Never turn off the remote control during operation before having disconnected the flight storage battery from the model.

• In the event of a defect or malfunction, the cause of the error must first be rectified before you restart your model.

• Do not subject your model and the remote control to direct sunlight or extreme heat for a prolonged period of time.

7. Battery and Storage Battery Instructions

Although handling batteries and storage batteries is an everyday occurrence, there are numerous dangers and problems associated with this.

Particularly with LiPo-/LiIon storage batteries with their high energy capacity (in comparison to conventional NiCd or NiMH storage batteries), it

is absolutely necessary that a number of regulations are adhered to, as otherwise a risk of explosion and fire could result.

The helicopter is shipped without storage batteries and charger. Nonetheless, we wish to provide you with comprehensive information regarding

the handling of batteries and storage batteries for reasons of safety. Please also observe all the information of the manufacturer enclosed with

the storage battery.

• Batteries/storage batteries should be kept out of the reach of children.

• Do not leave batteries/storage batteries lying around. There is a risk that they could be swallowed by children or pets. If this happens, please immediately consult a

physician!

• Batteries/storage batteries may never be short-circuited, taken apart or disposed of in fire. There is a risk of explosion!

• Expired or damaged batteries/storage batteries could cause chemical burns if they come into contact with the skin. For this reason, use suitable protective gloves in such

a case.

• Conventional batteries may not be charged. There is a risk of fire and explosion! Only charge storage batteries that are exclusively designed for this; use suitable chargers

for this. Batteries (1.5 V) are only designated for one-time use and must be properly disposed of once they are empty.

• When inserting batteries/storage batteries and/or when connecting a storage battery or a charger, check for the right polarity (check for positive/+ and negative /-). If

incorrect polarity is used, not only the remote control, the flight model, and the storage batteries will be damaged, but there is also a risk of fire and explosion.

• Always change the entire set of batteries and/or storage batteries. Do not mix full batteries or storage batteries with half-full ones. Always use batteries and/or storage

batteries of the same type and manufacturer.

• Never mix batteries with storage batteries! For the remote control, use either batteries or storage batteries.

• In the event you do not use the product for a prolonged period of time (e. g. when stowing it), remove the batteries (or storage batteries) in the remote control in order to

prevent damages caused by leaked batteries/storage batteries.

Attention!

After the flight, the flight storage battery must be disconnected from the helicopter. Do not leave the flight storage battery connected to the helicopter if you

are not using it (e. g. when transporting it or storing it). Otherwise, the flight storage battery could experience a deep discharge. This will destroy it/render it

unusable!

• Every 3 months, charge all storage batteries as otherwise a so-called deep discharge could result due to self-discharge, which will make the storage batteries unus-

able.

• Never charge the flight storage battery directly after using it. Always first allow the flight storage battery to cool off (at least 10–15 minutes).
