Before the start
RC models (drones / RC cars, etc.) are usually subject to insurance
(liability). Find out about the legal conditions in your country and check
accordingly whether your insurance coverage is sufficient.
If you are not yet experienced in controlling RC models, first familiarise
yourself with the reactions to the control commands on the standing model. If
necessary, consult an experienced model athlete or a model building club. If
necessary, seek the support of an experienced pilot/driver.
Check the remote control system and the model for functional reliability and
visible damage, such as defective plug connections or damaged cables, before
putting it into operation. All moving parts must function smoothly, but
without bearing play. Check all screw and plug connections, wheel nuts and
electrical contacts for tightness, as these can become loose or detached
during transport, while driving or in the event of minor accidents. Fasten
excess lengths of cables in such a way that they cannot get into
moving/rotating parts. Cables must also not be kinked. Make sure that all
batteries are fully charged and not damaged.
Driving/ Flying
Do not drive/fly if your reactions are restricted (e.g. if you are tired or
under the influence of medication or alcohol). Incorrect reactions can cause
serious personal injury and damage to property. Do not drive if you have the
slightest doubt about the perfect technical condition of your model/remote
control system. Always maintain direct visual contact with the model. Operate
the model only on private property or in places designated for this purpose.
Observe the conditions and regulations for the terrain.
When operating a model, always ensure that no parts of the body or objects in
the danger zone of motors or rotating parts. Regularly check all screw
connections and fastenings, as these can become loose or detached during
operation. In the event of a malfunction, stop operation of your model
immediately and eliminate the cause of the malfunction before continuing to
use the model. Avoid driving in low outside temperatures, as this reduces the
battery capacity and the plastic of the bodywork loses its elasticity and
splinters easily. Do not expose your model and the remote control system to
direct sunlight, moisture, heavy soiling or extreme heat/cold for long
periods. Do not drive in crowded areas, towards people or animals, in nature
reserves, at night, under power lines, radio masts or during thunderstorms.
Electrical fields and atmospheric disturbances can affect the signals of your
remote control transmitter, in rain or damp conditions, otherwise the
electrical system will be damaged. Please note that RC models must not be
driven on terrain where there is public transport.
Intended use
The product is designed exclusively for private use in the model building
sector and with the associated operating times. This product is not approved
for commercial or industrial use or for continuous operation. Improper use can
lead to personal injury and damage to the product and the associated risks
such as loss of control over the model, short circuit, fire, electric shock,
etc. Follow the safety instructions in this manual. They contain important
information for handling the product. The product is suitable for children
under 14 years of age only under adult supervision.
Notes for batteries and rechargeable batteries
Keep batteries out of the reach of children and pets as they may accidentally

into contact with the electrolyte, rinse immediately and thoroughly with clear
water. and see a doctor. Use suitable protective gloves when disposing of the
defective
Batteries. If you notice any abnormal smell, discoloration, excessive heating
or deformation of the battery, disconnect the battery from the charger or
consumer immediately. Dispose of the battery!

condensation water. Never expose the batteries/rechargeab-le batteries, the
charger and the model to adverse environmental conditions (e.g. wetness,
excessively high or low ambient temperature, sources of ignition or open fire,
dust, vapours, solvents)! Avoid heavy soiling and excessive mechanical stress
on the battery and never pull the connecting cables! Never mix batteries and
rechargeable batteries at the same time in one device! If no brand-new
batteries are used to power the transmitter, ensure that there is sufficient
residual capacity (battery tester). Always replace the complete set of
batteries, not just individual cells. Always use batteries of the same type
and manufacturer. Do not mix batteries with different charge levels. Make sure
that the polarity is correct when inserting batteries into the battery holder.
If the polarity is incorrect, not only your model but also the battery will be
damaged. Batteries must never be short-circui-ted, damaged, disassembled or
thrown into an open fire. There is a risk of fire and explosion! If the
battery gets hot, disconnect it from the charger immediately! If the model is
not used for a longer period of time, remove the batteries or rechargeable
batteries from the remote control and from the model in order to avoid damage
