Warnings and Safety Notes
These warnings and safety notes are important and must be followed closely. Please abide
by this information and follow the instructions in this Operating Manual, including the
information provided in the online links, to ensure maximum safety.
The quadcopter’s propellers are stiff and very sharp. The material they are made from
is carbon fiber. This material makes the propellers very strong and enhances the flight
performance of the quadcopter. Be careful! Do not allow your fingers, hands or other
body parts to come into contact with the spinning propellers or serious injury will
result!
The propellers must be removed from the motors whenever you update the autopilot’s
firmware or whenever there’s any question about safely operating the quadcopter.
• Do not attempt to fly the quadcopter if one or more of the propellers are damaged. Flying
with
damaged propellers is not safe and can make the quadcopter fly uncontrollably.
• Always make sure the propellers are installed correctly and that the propeller hub
washers
and mounting screws are secured tightly. Never install the propellers without also
installing
the propeller hub washers!
General Safety
• The quadcopter can be extremely dangerous and cause bodily injury. Exercise the utmost
caution when flying and operating it. It can be dangerous if you do not fly it in a safe
manner
or do not pay close attention while flying it. You alone are responsible for its actions during
flight.
• Before flight, always do a quick motor test to verify that all four propellers are spinning
the
correct directions. If you’re not careful, it’s possible to accidently install the outrigger arms
and/or propellers incorrectly, which can result in the quadcopter not flying correctly and
possibly crashing.
• We strongly suggest that when you first begin flying the quadcopter that you perform only
basic maneuvers in the Stabilization Flight Mode until you are more familiar with its flight
characteristics. Do not attempt to use any GPS Flight Modes without first understanding
how to use these features.
