Do not carelessly leave the packaging material lying around,
since it might become a dangerous toy for children.
Persons, including children, with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience or knowledge, or not
capable to assemble and use safely the 3D COPTER must not
use the 3D COPTER without supervision or instruction by a res-
ponsible person.
Operation and use of radio-controlled models needs to be learnt!
If you have never operated a model of this type before, start
carefully and make yourself familiar with the model‘s reactions
to the remote control commands. Proceed responsibly.
First, always perform a range and function test on the ground
(to do so, hold your model tight), before you use your model.
Repeat the test with running motor and with short throttle bursts.
Before you start using the remote control model, you have to
check the further relevant laws and regulations. These laws you
must obey in every case. Pay attention to the possibly different
laws of the countries.

The insurance is mandatory for all kinds of model operation. If
you already have one, please inform yourself if the operation of
the respective model is covered by your insurance. If this is not
the case, conclude a special liability insurance policy for models.
We recommend to provide the 3D COPTER with a label, where
are indicated the name, address, tel. n., E-mail and Insurance
N. So that the copter can be clearly assigned in the event of a
crash.
Due to safety and licensing reasons (CE), any unauthorized
reconstruction and/or modification of the product is prohibited.
Only use the components and spare parts that we recommend.
Always use matching, original Graupner plug-in connections of
the same design and material.
Make sure that all of the plug-in connections are tight. When dis-
connecting the plug-in connections, do not pull the cables.
Protect the 3D COPTER from dust, dirt, moisture and other for-
eign parts. It must be protected from vibration as well as exces-
sive heat or cold. The models may only be operated remotely in
normal outside temperatures such as from -10°C to +55°C.
Only operate all your components using the current software
version.
If you have questions which cannot be answered by the opera-
ting manual, please contact us (contact information see page 3)
or another expert in the field.
WARNING
Also while programming, make sure that a connected electric
motor cannot accidentally start. Injury risk by the turning propel-
lers! Program always the motors stop switch on the transmitter.
(See transmitter manual)
Avoid shock and pressure. Check the 3D COPTER regularly for
damages to the housings and cables. Damaged or wet electro-
nic components, even if re-dried, should no longer be used!

Keep long hair, loose clothing such as scarves, loose shirts or
similar well away from the danger zone of the revolving propel-
ler, they may be withdrawn by the propeller, flying debris can
cause serious injury.
Observe the safety notes of the required components.
