WARNING: As the user of this product you are solely and wholly responsible for operang it in a manner that does not endanger
yourself and others or result in damage to the product or the property of others.
Keep your hands, face and other parts of your body away from the spinning propellers/rotor blades and other moving parts at
all mes. Keep items that could impact or become entangled away from the propellers/rotor blades including debris, parts, tools,
loose clothing, etc.
Always operate your aircra in open areas that are free from people, vehicles and other obstrucons. Never fly near or above
crowds, airports or buildings.
To ensure proper operaon and safe flight performance never aempt to operate your aircra nearby buildings or other
obstrucons that do not offer a clear view of the sky and can restrict GPS recepon.
Do not aempt to operate your aircra in areas with potenal magnec and/or radio interference including areas nearby
broadcast towers, power transmission staons, high voltage power lines, etc.
Always keep a safe distance in all direcons around your aircra to avoid collisions and/or injury. This aircra is controlled by a
radio signal subject to interference from many sources outside your control. Interference can cause momentary loss of control.
To ensure proper and safe operaon of the automac landing funcon in Home Mode you must start the motors with the aircra
in a posion that has at least 10 feet (approximately 3 meters) of clear and open space around it and achieve a proper GPS lock.
Do not aempt to operate your aircra with any worn and/or damaged components, parts, etc. (including, but not limited to,
damaged propellers/rotor blades, old baeries, etc.).
Never operate your aircra in poor or severe weather condions including heavy winds, precipitaon, lightning, etc.
Always operate your aircra starng with a fully charged baery. Always land as soon as possible aer the first level low voltage
baery warning or land immediately aer the second level low voltage baery warning (as indicated by the vibraons and
audible alerts from the transmier/personal ground staon).
Always operate your aircra when the voltage of the baery in the transmier/personal ground staon is in a safe range (as
indicated by the baery charge status icon on the screen of the transmier/personal ground staon).
Always keep the aircra in clear line of sight and under control, and keep the transmier/personal ground staon powered on
while the aircra is powered on.
Always move the throle control sck down fully and turn off the motors in the event the propellers/rotor blades come into
contact with any objects.
Always allow components and parts to cool aer use before touching them and flying again.
Always remove baeries aer use and store/transport them per the corresponding guidelines.
Avoid water exposure to all electronic components, parts, etc. not specifically designed and protected for use in water. Moisture
causes damage to electronic components and parts.
Never place any poron of the aircra or any related accessories, components or parts in your mouth as doing so could cause
serious injury or even death.
Always keep chemicals, small parts and electronic components out of the reach of children.
Carefully follow the instrucons and warnings included with this aircra and any related accessories, components or parts

BATTERY WARNINGS AND USAGE GUIDELINES
WARNING: Lithium Polymer (LiPo) baeries are significantly more volale than alkaline, NiCd or NiMH baeries. All instrucons
and warnings must be followed exactly to prevent property damage and/or serious injury as the mishandling of LiPo baeries
can result in fire. By handling, charging or using the included LiPo baery you assume all risks associated with LiPo baeries. If
you do not agree with these condions please return the complete product in new, unused condion to the place of purchase immediately.
You must always charge the LiPo baery in a safe, well-venlated area away from flammable materials.
Never charge the LiPo baery unaended at any me. When charging the baery you must always remain in constant observaon
to monitor the charging process and react immediately to any potenal problems that may occur.
Aer flying/discharging the LiPo baery you must allow it to cool to ambient/room temperature before recharging.
To charge the LiPo baery you must use only the included charger or a suitably compable LiPo baery charger. Failure to do so may
result in a fire causing property damage and/or serious injury.
If at any me the LiPo baery begins to balloon or swell, disconnue charging or discharging immediately. Quickly and safely
disconnect the baery, then place it in a safe, open area away from flammable materials to observe it for at least 15 minutes.
Connuing to charge or discharge a baery that has begun to balloon or swell can result in a fire. A baery that has ballooned or
swollen even a small amount must be removed from service completely.
Do not over-discharge the LiPo baery. Discharging the baery too low can cause damage to the baery resulng in reduced power,
flight duraon or failure of the baery enrely. LiPo cells should not be discharged to below 3.0V each under load.
Store the LiPo baery at room temperature and in a dry area for best results.
When charging, transporng or temporarily storing the LiPo baery the temperature range should be from approximately 40–120°
F (5–49° C). Do not store the baery or aircra in a hot garage, car or direct sunlight. If stored in a hot garage or car the baery can
be damaged or even catch fire.
Never leave baeries, chargers and power supplies unaended during use.
Never aempt to charge low voltage, ballooned/swollen, damaged or wet baeries.
Never allow children under 14 years of age to charge baeries.
