• Misuse of this product may lead to serious injury or death. To ensure the safety of you
and your equipment, read this manual and follow the instructions.
• Make sure the product is properly installed in your model. Failure to do so may result in
serious injury.
• Make sure to disconnect the receiver battery before turning o󽗈 the transmitter. Failure
to do so may lead to unintended operation and cause an accident.
• Ensure that all motors operate in the correct direction. If not, adjust the direction 󽗉rst.
• Make sure the model 󽗊ies within a certain distance. Otherwise, it would cause loss of
control.
• Do not use the product at night or in bad weather like rain or thunderstorm. It can
cause erratic operation or loss of control.
• Do not use the product when visibility is limited.
• Do not use the product on rain or snow days. Any exposure to moisture (water or snow)
may cause erratic operation or loss of control.
• Interference may cause loss of control. To ensure the safety of you and others, do not
operate in the following places:
• Nearanysitewhereotherradiocontrolactivitymayoccur
• Nearpowerlinesorcommunicationbroadcastingantennas
• Nearpeopleorroads
• Onanybodyofwaterwhenpassengerboatsarepresent
• Do not use this product when you are tired, uncomfortable, or under the in󽗊uence of
alcohol or drugs. Doing so may cause serious injury to yourself or others.
• The 2.4GHz radio band is limited to line of sight. Always keep your model in sight as a
large object can block the RF signal and lead to loss of control.
• Never grip the transmitter antenna during operation. It signi󽗉cantly degrades signal
quality and strength and may cause loss of control.
• Do not touch any part of the model that may generate heat during operation, or
immediately after use. The engine, motor or speed control, may be very hot and can
cause serious burns.
• RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE.
