· Improper use of this product will result in serious injury.
Be aware of your personal safety, safety of others and your surrounding environment.
· Keep Lobit out of reach of children.
· It is recommended that beginners learn to fly with more experienced pilots before attempting
to fly LOBIT 100F for the first time.
· Do not operate LOBIT 100F near buildings, crowds of people, or trees to ensure the safety
of yourself, others and your LOBIT 100F.
· LOBIT 100F contains many precision electrical components.
Store the battery and Lobit in a dry area at room temperature. Exposure to water or moisture
may cause malfunction resulting in loss of responsiveness, or a crash.
· For safety, only use the included DROGEN spare parts for replacement.
· When in operation, propellers will be spinning at high speed.
The propellers are capable of inflicting serious injury or damage to property.
Be careful to keep your body and loose clothing away from the propellers.
· Never take your eyes off LOBIT 100F or leave it unattended while it is turned on.
Stop operating immediately if LOBIT 100F flies out of your sight.
· Radio interference may occur while using radio equipment
· Frequency is selectable. In case there is any interference, you can change the
setting from the range 5725 to 5825 MHz.
Carefully check all the parts of LOBIT 100F. Broken parts will pose a risk of injury and hazard.
If any problem is found before flight, do not fly LOBIT 100F. Check with call centers and local
agencies.
· Before operating, check that the batteries of the transmitter and LOBIT 100F are charged for
the flight.

Safety advisory notice for
Lithium-Polymer(Lipo)Batteries
Lipo batteries are different from conventional batteries in that their chemical contents
are encased in a relatively lightweight foil packaging.
This has the advantage of significantly reducing their weight but it does make them more
susceptible to damage if roughly or inappropriately handled.
As with all batteries, there is a risk of fire or explosion if safety practices are ignored.
· Charge and store Lipo batteries in a location where a battery fire or explosion
(including smoke hazzard) will not endanger life or property.
· Keep Lipo batteries away from children and animals.
· Never charge the Lipo battery that has ballooned or swelled.
· Never charge the Lipo battery that has been punctured or damaged.
· After a crash, inspect the battery pack for signs of damage.
Discard in accordance with your country’s recycling laws.
· Never charge the Lipo battery in a moving vehicle.
· Never overcharge the Lipo battery.
· Do not charge Lipo batteries neat flammable materials or liquids.
· Ensure that charging leads are connected correctly.
Reverse polarity charging can lead to battery damage or a fire or explosion.
· Have a suitable fire extinguisher (electrical type) or a large bucket of dry sand near
the charging area. Do not try to extinguish electrical (Lipo) battery fires with water.
· Reduce risks from fire /explosion by storing and charging Lipo batteries inside a suitable container.
· Protect your Lipo battery from accidental damage during storage and transportation.
(Do not put battery packs in pockets or bags where they can short circuit or can come into
contact with sharp or metallic objects.)
· If your Lipo battery is subjected to a shock (such as a crash),place it in a metal container
and observe for signs of swelling or heating for at least 30 minutes.
· Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the Lipo battery.
Lithium-Polymer(Lipo) batteries must not be placed in with
household trash. Please contact your environmental or waste
agency or the supplier of your model for local regulations
and the location of your nearest Lipo battery recycling center.

Charging the Lipo battery
3.7V 520mAh Lipo Battery
· Take out the battery with the battery compartment
when you storage it.
· Always power off LOBIT 100F when you charge
the battery.
Always partially charge your Lipo battery before storage.
Lipo batteries retain the power over a reasonable period.
It is not normally necessary to recharge stored Lipo batteries unless stored for periods longer
than 3-6 months. If the battery runs down, replace it.
