Disposal; Safety Information - Multiplex Cockpit SX 7 Mode D'emploi

1.3. Disposal

Electrical and electronic equipment which has the crossed
out wheelie bin symbol should not be disposed along with
household waste, but rather via a suitable disposal system.
In countries belonging to the EU (European Union), electrical
or electronic equipment may not be disposed of along with
general household waste (WEEE - Waste of Electrical and Elec-
tronic Equipment, Directive 2002/96/EC).

1.4. Safety information


· Remote controlled models and equipment are not toys in the
conventional sense. Setup, installation of the RC equipment
and operation require technical understanding, care and
safety-conscious responsible behavior. Errors or negligence
could have significant damage as a consequence. As the
manufacturer or salesperson has no influence or control
over proper setup and operation of the model, we are ex-
pressly referring to these dangers and excluding any liability.
· In order to operate your model safely, please adhere to the
following safety instructions without fail; you are responsible
for the safe deployment of your product:
· Please read these instructions carefully! Please do not use
the equipment before you have carefully read these operat-
ing instructions and the following safety instructions.
· Under no circumstances must you make any technical mod-
ifications to the RC equipment. Only use original accessories
and replacement parts, receivers and servos.
· If you are using this equipment in combination with products
from other manufacturers, please ensure that the quality
and functionality of these products has been verified. Every
new or modified setup must undergo a careful functionality
and range test. Do not launch the equipment or model if
something doesn't seem right. First look for malfunctions
and eliminate them.
· A model which has for whatever reason gotten out of control
can cause significant damage or injury. Liability insurance
is therefore a requirement in order to operate any model.
Please be sure to bear this in mind, and be aware of the
relevant regulations.

You can dispose of your old equipment at public municipal
collection points (e.g. recycling facilities) free of charge. The
equipment will be properly disposed of free of charge here.
By returning your old equipment, you are making a valuable
contribution towards environmental protection!
· Always observe the sequence for switching on and off,
in order to ensure that there is no uncontrolled and
dangerous start-up of the motor:
- When switching on: Always switch on the transmitter first,
then plug in the flight battery or switch on the receiving
system.
- When switching off: Always disconnect the flight battery
or switch off the receiving system before switching off the
transmitter.
· Have receivers and particularly RC transmitters checked at
regular intervals (every two to three years) by an authorized
MULTIPLEX service center.
· Only operate the transmitter within the permitted temperature
range between -15 and 55 °C. Please note that sudden
changes in temperature from cold to warm can cause con-
densation water to be deposited on the transmitter. Moisture
impairs the functionality of the transmitter and other elec-
tronic equipment as well.
· In case of moisture in electronic equipment, halt operation
immediately, disconnect the power supply and leave the
equipment to dry in as open a position as possible (for up to
several days). Then carefully perform a functionality test. In
severe cases, have your equipment tested by an authorized
MULTIPLEX service center.
· Perform a range test and set the failsafe (see section 7.7).
