• Please test the functional safety of your
quadrocopter and the remote control before
each use. Inspect both for visible damage,
such as defective plug connectors or damaged
cables. All the moving parts on the article must
function smoothly but may not have too great
an allowance in the bearings.
• Check that the rotors are fixed correctly and
securely in place before each use.
• Do not operate the quadrocopter if it is
damaged.
• Do not undertake any conversions or
modifications on the quadrocopter.
• Arrange for any damaged cables or connectors
to be exchanged by authorised specialist
personnel or the customer service department.
• Always switch the remote control on first.
Please ensure that the throttle is set to the
lowest position (motors off) when you switch the
remote control on! Only then may the storage
battery on the model be connected. Otherwise
the article may display unforeseeable reactions
and the rotors could start unintentionally!
• When the rotors are moving, please ensure that
neither objects nor body parts are within the
turning or intake area of the rotors. Keep hands,
face, hair, and loose clothing away from the
rotors. Do not touch moving parts.
• Always disconnect the storage battery from the
quadrocopter while carrying out maintenance
and cleaning work.
• Do not take any risks while operating the
quadrocopter! Your own safety and that of
your surroundings depend on your responsible
handling of the quadrocopter.
• Caution! Do not start and fly the article if there
are people, animals, or other obstacles in the
area where the quadrocopter is flying.
• The area in which the quadrocopter is used
must be large enough for safe use.
• Select a suitable location (open area) to
operate the quadrocopter. Do not fly in areas
with free-hanging cables, e.g. power lines.
Keep your distance from buildings, masts, wind
turbines, chimneys etc.
• Do not fly the quadrocopter in areas where the
temperature can change rapidly, e.g. over a fire
or bodies of water.
• Do not fly the quadrocopter if your
responsiveness is impaired. Tiredness, alcohol,
and medications can cause you to make
mistakes.
• Never fly the quadrocopter directly towards
spectators or towards yourself.
• The motor, electronics, and storage battery can
heat up during operation of the quadrocopter.
You should therefore take a break for 5-10
minutes before charging the storage battery
again or starting the article again with any
replacement storage battery.
• Incorrect operation can cause serious damage
to persons and property! You must therefore
ensure a sufficiently safe distance from people,
animals, and objects during flights.
• Always leave the remote control on while the
quadrocopter is in operation. Only disconnect
the storage battery plug connector from the
quadrocopter plug connector after landing.
Only then should you switch the remote control
off.
• In the event of a defect or malfunction the cause
of the fault must be resolved before starting the
quadrocopter again.
• Do not subject the quadrocopter or the remote
control to direct sunlight or high heat over long
periods of time.
• The electronic gyro sensors could be damaged
or misaligned in the event of a serious crash
(for example from a great height). You must
therefore always check full functionality before
the next flight!
• Reduce the throttle to zero immediately
following a crash. Turning rotors could be
damaged if they come into contact with
obstacles or the ground. They must be inspected
for any cracks or breakage before flying again!
• Pay attention to the light signals on the
undervoltage indicator in order to prevent
damage to the quadrocopter from a crash
caused by low undervoltage.
• Model aircraft and helicopters flown outdoors
require insurance in some countries. Please ask
a private liability insurer and ensure that your
quadrocopter is included in this insurance.
