range, operation below 0°C is to be avoided.
> Do not place the product under any mechanical stress.
> 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.
> Handle the product carefully. Jolts, impacts or a fall even from a low height can damage the product.
Before commissioning
>Make sure that no other models are operated on the same channel (transmitter frequency) within the
range of the remote control. This applies for all products operated at 915 MHz (e.g. weather stations,
radio headphones, etc.). Otherwise, you will lose control of the remote-controlled models! Always
use different channels if you wish to operate two or several models in direct proximity of each other
simultaneously.
>Regularly check the functional reliability of your model and the remote control system. Watch out for any
visible damage such as defective plug connections or damaged cables.
>All moving parts of the model must run smoothly but should not have any play in their bearings.
>Check before each operation the correct and secure position of the rotors.

be checked for possible tears or breakages!
>To avoid damage to the “RC EYE One” helicopter through crashing due to low voltage of the rechargeable
battery through total discharge, we recommend that you respect the low voltage light signals without fail.
Batteries
> Correct polarity must be observed while inserting the batteries.
> Batteries should be removed from the device if it is not used for a long period of time to avoid damage
through leaking. Leaking or damaged batteries might cause acid burns when in contact with skin,
therefore use suitable protective gloves to handle corrupted batteries.
> Batteries must be kept out of reach of children. Do not leave the battery lying around, as there is risk,
that children or pets swallow it.
> All the batteries should be replaced at the same time. Mixing old and new batteries in the device can lead
to battery leakage and device damage.

7. START PREPARATIONS
Inserting batteries in the transmitter
1. Remove the battery
compartment lid (1) of the
transmitter. You need to
push the lever (2) own
slightly for this.
2. Insert two micro/AAA size
batteries with the correct
polarity (3). Observe the
corresponding icons in the
battery compartment. Insert
the battery compartment lid
again.
Operation of the transmitter with rechargeable batteries is not recommended because of
the lower cell voltage (battery = 1.5 V, rechargeable battery = 1.2 V) and the self-discharge
of rechargeable batteries. Quick feedback of the transmitter on low charge status of the
transmitter power supply would result.
Since the transmitter requires very little power, batteries will keep much longer. We recommend
the use of high-quality alkaline batteries.

for this. If the battery is not defective (high-Ohmic/interrupted) and mains supply is warranted, charging
commences. This is indicated by the two red LEDs (3 = charge indicator).

Individual battery cells of a battery pack are usually different. The USB charger has
tow separate chargers integrated. Therefore, it is possible that a battery cell is already
charged (LED off) and the other battery cell is still being charged (LED on). Wait until
both LEDs have gone out before unplugging the battery.
