crash.
Whileoperating,nevertouchthetransmitter
with,orbringthetransmitternear,anothertrans-
mitter,acellphone,orotherwirelessdevices.
■Doingsomaycauseerroneousoperation.
Donotpointtheantennadirectlytowardthe
aircraftduringflight.
■Theantennaisdirectionalandthetransmitteroutput
isweakest.(Thestrengthoftheradiowavesisgreatest
fromthesidesoftheantenna.)
Neverflyonarainyday,whenthewindis
strong,oratnight.
■Watercouldleadtofailureorimproperfunctionality
andpoorcontroloftheaircraftwhichcouldleadtoa
crash.
Neverturnthepowerswitchoffduringflight
orwhiletheengineormotorisrunning.
■Operationwillbecomeimpossibleandtheaircraftwill
