Safety Precautions - GRAUPNER JUNIOR Fun Chinook Mode D'emploi

Fun Chinook
Order No 4289

Safety precautions

1. The model is controlled by infrared (light). Direct sun or strong lighting may affect the control.
2. The low weight of the Fun-Heli makes it very susceptible to wind, and for this reason it should
only ever be flown indoors, where there is no breeze to upset it. Even the air circulation of an
air conditioner may affect the flight behaviour of the model.
3. The Lithium-Polymer battery which is fitted inside the model contains potentially harmful
chemicals; it is essential not to remove the battery or attempt to open it.
4. The charge process should only be carried out under the supervision of an adult. Keep
children well away while the battery is on charge.
5. Do not attempt to fly the model again if the rotors should be damaged or broken, as this
increases the risk of personal injury.
6. To avoid damaging the model, please do not attempt to open it or modify its construction.
7. Flying the model requires an area of about 6 x 9 x3m without obstacles. Do not fly the Fun-
Heli close to people, furniture or other obstacles.
Preparations for flight
1. Slide the channel selector switch to the channel printed on the sticker on the model (A, B, or
C).
2. Move the ON / OFF switch on the transmitter to the "ON" position. Check that the power LED
is glowing constantly, indicating that the transmitter is ready for use.
Note: if the LED starts to flash, this means that the battery capacity is exhausted, and the
transmitter can no longer work normally because the voltage is insufficient. In this case you
have to replace the dry cells with new ones.
3. Move the main switch on the Fun Chinook to the "ON" position; the LED on the underside of
the model should now blink in different colours to indicate that the helicopter is ready to fly. If
the LED does not light up, it is probably time to recharge the flight battery.
4. With the transmitter and the model ready for use, you are ready to try the first flight, using the
sequence of drawings below as a guide. First place the model in front of you, with the tail
facing you. Run through all the model's control functions as described here, and try to
remember them:
Note: It is important always to switch the transmitter on first, then the model, as described in
Steps 1 ... 3 above. Reverse the sequence when switching off.
