Safety Information for MULTIPLEX model aircraft
This model is NOT A TOY in the usual sense of the term.
By operating the model the owner affi rms that he is aware of the content of the operating instructions, especially those
sections which concern safety, maintenance, operating restrictions and faults, and is capable of fulfi lling these requirements.
This model must not be operated by any child under fourteen years of age. If a person below this age operates the model
under the supervision of a competent adult who is acting as the child's guardian within the legal sense of the term, this
individual is responsible for the implementation of the information in the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS.
THE MODEL AND ASSOCIATED ACCESSORIES MUST BE KEPT OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN UNDER THREE
YEARS OF AGE! MODELS CONTAIN SMALL DETACHABLE PARTS WHICH MAY BE SWALLOWED BY CHILDREN
UNDER THREE YEARS. CHOKING HAZARD!
All the warnings in the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS must be observed whenever the model is operated. Multiplex
Modellsport GmbH & Co. KG accepts no liability for loss or damage or any kind which occurs as a result of incorrect
operation or misuse of this product, including the accessories required for its operation. This includes direct, indirect,
deliberate and accidental loss and damage, and all forms of consequent damage.
Every safety note in these instructions must always be observed, as all the information contributes to the safe opera-
tion of your model. Use your model thoughtfully and cautiously, and it will give you and your spectators many hours of
pleasure without constituting a hazard. Failure to operate your model in a responsible manner may result in signifi cant
property damage and severe personal injury. You alone bear the responsibility for the implementation of the operating
instructions and the safety notes.
Approved usage
The model is approved exclusively for use within the modelling hobby. It is prohibited to use the model for any other
purpose than that stated. The operator of the model, and not the manufacturer, is responsible for damage or injury of
any kind resulting from non-approved use.
The model may only be operated in conjunction with those accessories which we expressly recommend. The recom-
mended components have undergone thorough testing, are an accurate match to the model, and ensure that it functions
safely. If you use other components, or modify the model, you operate it at your own risk, and any claim under guarantee
is invalidated.
To minimise the risk when operating the model, please observe the following points:
The model is guided using a radio control system. No radio control system is immune to radio interference, and
such interference may result in loss of control of the model for a period of time. To avoid collisions, you must
therefore ensure at all times that there is a wide margin of safety in all directions when operating your model. At
the slightest sign of radio interference you must cease operating your model!
Never operate your model until you have successfully completed a thorough check of the working systems, and
carried out a range-check as stipulated in the instructions supplied with your transmitter.
The model may only be fl own in conditions of good visibility. You can avoid being temporarily blinded by not fl ying
towards the sun, or in other diffi cult light conditions.
A model must never be operated by a person who is under the infl uence of alcohol, drugs or medication which
have an adverse effect on visual acuity and reaction time.
Only fl y your model in conditions of wind and weather in which you are able to maintain full control of the model.
Even when the wind is light, bear in mind that turbulence can form at and around objects which may have an
effect on the model.
Never fl y in any location where you may endanger yourself of others, e.g. close to residential areas, overhead
cables, open roads and railway lines.
Never fl y towards people or animals. You may think that fl ying low over other people's heads is proof of your
piloting skill, but all it does is place others at unnecessary risk. It is in all our interests that you let other pilots
know that this is what you think. Always fl y in such a way that you do not endanger yourself or others. Bear in
mind that even the best RC system in the world is subject to outside interference. No matter how many years of
accident-free fl ying you have under your belt, you have no idea what will happen in the next minute.
