accessories.

2. Despite this product having a built-in autopilot system and out efforts in making the operation of the

controller as safe as possible when the main power battery is connected, we strongly recommended users to

remove all propellers when calibrating and setting the parameters.

3. Make sure all connections are good, and keep children and animals way during firmware upgrade, system

calibration and parameter setup.

Cautions for Aircraft User

Please check the following steps carefully every time before flight.

1. Always fly the multi-rotor in the safe condition and keep your multi-rotor away from the obstacles, crowds

and high-voltage lines, etc.

2. Do not overload the multi-rotor.

3. Check whether the propeller and the motor are install correctly and firmly before flight. Make sure the

rotation direction of each propeller is correct. Do not get close to or even touch the working motors or

propellers to avoid serious injury.

4. Try to avoid interference between the remote control transmitter and other wireless equipment.

5. Make sure that the R/C battery and flight battery are fully charged.

6. Make sure to switch on the transmitter first, then power on the multi-rotor before takeoff. Power off the

multi-rotor first, then switch off the transmitter after landing.

7. Check whether all parts of the multi-rotor are in good condition before flight. Do not flight with aging or

damaged parts.

8. Do not use in the magnetic interference area, radio interference area. This will lead to communication or

other failures.

9. Do not use in the server weather condition such as rainy day, snow, windy (more than moderated breeze),

hail, lighting, tornadoes and hurricanes etc.

10. Before flying, please read all instruction on the quick start guide and detail user guide and other useful

Using Lithium Polymer (LiPo) Batteries

LiPo batteries can be extremely hazardous and requires special attention when you are handling them. Observe

the following recommendations for the use of these batteries.

1. LiPo batteries must be charged with a LiPo charger. Never attempt to charge LiPo batteries with a charger

that is not specifically designed for charging LiPo batteries.

2. Never overcharge LiPo batteries. Overcharging may result in an explosion or fire. Do not charge above 4.2V

per cell. When the battery is fully charge, disconnect it from the charger.

3. Ensure the chargers are properly set when using the selectable or adjustable charger.

4. Never leave the battery charger unattended during charging.

5. Do not charge the batter (i) while still connect to the aircraft, (ii) inside a vehicle, and (iii) near flammable

materials or on a flammable surface such as carpet or wood.

6. Never charge a swollen battery, a leaky battery or one which has been damaged.

7. It is recommended that batteries be charged and store in a fireproof container.

8. Examine the charger regularly for damage to the cord, plug, enclosure or other parts. Never use a damaged

charger.

9. Disconnect the charger when not in use.

10. Do not clean the charger with a solvent denatured alcohol or other flammable solvents.

Usage and Storage

Keep the batteries out of the reach of children and pets.

Never discharge batteries below 3V per cell.

Do not heat the battery.

Do not insert or remove the batteries if the plastic cover had been torn or compromised in any way.

Do not insert or remove the batteries in the charger or the craft while the power is on.

Do not expose the batteries to excessive physical shock.

Never use a swollen battery or a leaky battery, or one which is damaged or giving off an unusual odor.

Clean the battery terminals with a dry and clean cloth.

Do not expose batteries to extreme temperatures including excessive heat. Do not leave the batteries inside of the

vehicle on hot days.

Do not allow batteries to come into contact with any kind of liquid. Do not leave batteries out in rain or near a

source of moisture.

Do not le a ve batteries in a microwave oven or in a pressurized container.

Do not attempt to dismantle, pierce or cut a battery and do not attempt to repair the batteries by yourself.
