> Do not leave packaging material lying around carelessly. These may become
dangerous playing material for children.
> If it is no longer possible to operate the product safely, take it out of operation and
protect it from any accidental use. Safe operation can no longer be guaranteed if the
product:
» is visibly damaged,
» is no longer working properly,
» has been stored for extended periods in poor ambient conditions, or
» has been subjected to any serious transport-related stresses. The product must
not become damp or wet. The »Xtreme uses delicate electronic components
which are sensitive to temperature uctuations and are optimised for a particular
temperature range. Operating temperatures below 0°C must be avoided.
> Do not place the product under any mechanical stress.
> Handle the product carefully. Jolts, impacts or a fall even from a low height can damage
the product.
We strongly advise you refrain from stunts until you
master the »Xtreme in normal flying conditions.
3.2 Before commissioning
> Before every ight check the functional reliability of your model and the transmitter.
Watch out for any visible damage such as defective plug connections or damaged
cables and wires.
> All moving parts of the model must run smoothly but should not have any play in their
bearings.
> Before each operation check the correct and secure position of the propellers.
> Charge the ight battery according to the steps provided in the operating instructions.
> Ensure sufcient residual capacity [ battery tester (not included) ] of the batteries
inserted in the transmitter. If the batteries are empty, always replace the complete set,
never individual cells only.
> Always switch on the transmitter rst before connecting the battery to the »Xtreme.
> Set the throttle to zero before connecting the battery to the »Xtreme. The rotors might
run unintentionally!
3.3 During Operation
> When the rotors are running, make sure that neither objects nor body parts are in the
rotating and suction area of the propellers.
> Do not take any risks when operating the model! Your own safety and that of your
environment is solely down to you being responsible when dealing with the model.
> Improper operation may cause serious injury and property damage! Therefore make
sure to keep a sufciently safe distance to persons, animals or objects during operation.
> Select an appropriate location for the operation of the »Xtreme.
> Fly the »Xtreme only if your ability to respond is unrestricted. The inuence of tiredness,
alcohol or medication can cause incorrect responses.

4| Safety Instructions
> Do not direct your model towards spectators or yourself.
> Motor, electronics and ight battery may heat up during operation. Wait 5 to 10 minutes
before recharging or replacing the ight battery.
>
Never switch off the transmitter while the »Xtreme is in use. After landing, always disconnect
the ight battery rst. Only then may the transmitter be switched off.
> In case of a defect or a malfunction, remove the problem before using the »Xtreme
again.
> Never expose the »Xtreme or the transmitter to direct sunlight or excessive heat for an
extended period of time.
> In the case of a severe crash (e.g. from a high altitude) the electric gyro sensors can be
damaged and/or misadjusted. Therefore, full functionality must be tested before ying
again without fail!
> In the event of a crash, the throttle should be immediately set to zero. Rotating
propellers may be damaged if they come into contact with obstacles. Before ying
again, these should be checked for possible tears or breakages!
> Observe the warn/safety signals emitted by the »Xtreme at all times to avoid damage
(e.g. discharged battery).
It is strongly suggested to always inspect for damage.
Replace defective parts immediately. Defective parts can
impact properly working parts!
3.4 Batteries
3.4.1 General information
> Correct polarity must be observed while inserting the batteries.
>
Remove battery from the »Xtreme after every ight. Remove the batteries from the
transmitter if you do not use it for a longer period of time. Discharged batteries may leak.
> Leaking or damaged batteries can cause acid burns when in contact with skin.
Therefore use suitable protective gloves to handle corrupted and leaking batteries.
> Batteries must be kept out of the reach of children. Do not leave the batteries lying
around. There is a risk that children or pets may swallow them.
> All batteries should be replaced at the same time. Mixing old and new batteries can
lead to battery leakage and device damage.
> Batteries must not be dismantled, short-circuited or exposed to re. Never recharge
non-rechargeable batteries. There is a risk of explosion!
> Never mix regular batteries and rechargeable batteries!
Only use the supplied flight battery or a suitable spare
battery from RC Logger.
Make sure the transmitter is turned on before connecting
the battery to the »Xtreme.
Avoid unexpected startup. This can lead to serious injury
and damage the »Xtreme.

3.4.2 LiPo batteries
After the flight, the LiPo flight battery must be disconnected
from the »Xtreme.
Lithium is a highly reactive chemical element with a
high energy density. In the case of overcharging, the
LiPo rechargeable battery packs might catch fire or even
explode. Therefore, LiPo rechargeable battery packs must
always be put on a fire-proof surface for charging and the
charging process must be supervised.
In no case must the maximum permissible battery
pack temperature of +60°C be exceeded Otherwise the
rechargeable battery may explode!
3.4.2.1 Hazards of LiPo flight batteries
> Do not leave the LiPo ight battery connected when you do not use it (e.g. during
transport or storage). Otherwise, the LiPo ight battery may be fully discharged. This
would destroy it and render it unusable! There is also a danger of malfunction due to
interference. The rotors could start up inadvertently and cause damage or injury.
> Rechargeable LiPo batteries are very susceptible to moisture due to the chemicals they
contain! Do not expose them to moisture or liquids. Risk of explosion!
> Do not expose the charger or LiPo ight battery to high/low temperatures or to direct
solar radiation. When handling LiPo batteries, observe the special safety information
of the battery manufacturer!
> Never charge the LiPo ight battery immediately after use. Always leave the LiPo ight
battery to cool off rst (at least 5-10 minutes).
> Only use the supplied USB LiPo charger or the “RC EYE OneStation” (89041RC) to
charge the ight battery.
> Only charge intact and undamaged batteries. If the external insulation of the
rechargeable battery is damaged or if the rechargeable battery is deformed or bloated,
it must not be charged. In this case, there is immediate danger of re and explosion!
> Never damage the exterior of a LiPo ight battery. Never cut the covering foil. Never
stab any LiPo ight batteries with pointed objects.
> As the charger and the rechargeable LiPo ight battery both heat up during the
charging procedure, it is necessary to ensure sufcient ventilation. Never cover the
charger or the LiPo ight battery! Of course, this also applies for all other chargers and
rechargeable batteries.
> Remove the LiPo ight battery that is to be charged from the model and place it on a
re-proof support (e.g. a plate). Keep a distance to ammable objects.
> Disconnect the LiPo ight battery from the charger when it is fully charged.
> Chargers may only be operated in dry rooms. The charger and the LiPo ight battery
must not become damp or wet.
> Never take the rechargeable battery apart! The rechargeable battery may not be
subjected to any mechanical strain! The contacts may not be short-circuited, as there
is danger of re and explosion!
> Do not expose rechargeable batteries to re, as there is a risk of explosion!
> Keep rechargeable LiPo batteries away from children. Store rechargeable batteries in
a dry, cool place.
> If a rechargeable battery is deformed or damaged during a crash, it must no longer be
used. The same applies for “swollen” rechargeable batteries, or rechargeable batteries
with other visible deformation or leaks. Do not attempt to charge such rechargeable
batteries! Danger of re and explosion!
> Dispose of rechargeable batteries in an ecologically sound fashion.
> The general hazard notices for handling batteries and rechargeable batteries also
apply for rechargeable LiPo batteries.

3.4.2.2 Total discharge
> Since discharging below 3.0 V per cell would lead to permanent damage of the
rechargeable battery pack, this total discharging is to be prevented as far as possible.
> For safety reasons, programmable cruise controls/ight control systems should be set
in such a way that the undervoltage detection responds already at a voltage of 3.0 V
per cell (Example: 3 cells = 9.0 V cut-off voltage). Alternatively, the optical undervoltage
displays are also recommended.
3.4.2.3 Correct dimensioning
> As the current drawn rises, the battery pack warms and the usable capacity is lowered.
The ideal operating temperature during discharge is between +20 and +40 °C and must
not exceed +60 °C even under extreme load.
> The maximum short-time current that can be loaded to the battery pack is stated in
the technical data sheets or can be read directly from the battery pack. The value “C”
always refers to the capacity value of the respective battery pack.
Example:
A battery pack with a capacity of 2100 mAh and ”20 C” can
be loaded with 2100 mA x 20 = 42 A maximum.
> However, the maximum permissible continuous current is clearly lower. If there are no
precise manufacturer’s specications, the battery pack should not be loaded with more
than approx. 50 % of the maximum permissible surge current over a long term.
3.5 Miscellaneous
> Consult an expert when in doubt about operation, safety or connection of the device.
> Maintenance, modications and repairs are to be performed exclusively by an expert
or at a qualied shop.
