Warranty declaration: www.carson- modelsport.com/de/service/gewaehrleistung/
Maximum transmission power: 10 mW

The explanation of the symbol on the product, packaging or instructions: Electronic devices are valuable products and should not be disposed of with the household waste when they reach the end of their service life! Help us to protect the environment and respect our resources by delivering this appliance to the relevant recycling point.

Safety precautions (please keep!)

CAUTION! Not suitable for children under 8 years.

Please keep these instructions for possible correspondence. Care should be exercised when using the toy, as skill is required to control the flight and prevent collisions with the user, objects or other people. We reserve the right to change colours or make technical changes. Due to the cable, there is a danger of strangulation. Adult help is required to remove the transport protection. Before first use: Please read the user information together with your child. Operation and safe handling must be explained (preferably with the aid ofm illustrations). Flying the model aircraft requires practice and children must be taught under adult supervision. A note for adult supervisors: Check whether the toy has been assembled in accordance with the instructions. Assembly must be carried out under adult supervision. Hands, hair and lose clothing must be kept away from the propeller (rotor). Do not change or modify anything on the model aircraft! In order to ensure that the toy is used safely, the room in which the model aircraft is used must be of sufficient size. The room must be free of obstructions. This toy is only intended for use in private areas (house and garden) and only when there is no wind.m Caution! The model aircraft should not be powered up if persons, animals or obstructions are in the aircraft’s flying range (30 m). Caution! Risk of eye injuries! So as to avoid injuries, do not fly the model aircraft close to your face. Never pick up the model aircraft while the propellers are still rotating. To avoid an unexpected operation, the (rechargeable) batteries need to be removed from the toy while it is not being used. The transmitter must first be switched on, followed by the model aircraft, to avoid unexpected operation. (Subject to change) When switching off, always switch off the model aircraft first and then the transmitter. Use only the specified batteries!

Insert the batteries so that the positive and negative poles are in the correct position! Do not throw used batteries in the household rubbish – take them to a collection point or dispose of them at a hazardous waste depot. Flat batteries should be removed from the toy. Do not attempt to charge non- rechargeable batteries. Rechargeable batteries may only be charged by adults. Do not use different types of battery, and do not insert new and used batteries at the same time. Do not short-circuit the connecting webs. Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) and rechargeable batteries.m To ensure optimum operation, we recommend that only rechargeable or alkaline batteries be used for the craft. Check the charger for damage at regular intervals. In the event of damage, the charger may not be used until it has been properly repaired. Only carry out charging in dry rooms and protect the unit from moisture. We do not accept liability for data loss, damage to software or other damage to computers or accessories caused by charging the battery. Please do not insert any cables into plug-in socket connections. To guarantee the optimum infrared function, do not expose the article to direct sunlight or glaring lights. The toy may only be connected to class II devices that are marked with the following symbol:

Safety Precautions Lithium batteries

General: Lithium batteries (accumulators) are energy storage devices with a high energy density and can present risks. For this reason, particular care is needed when charging, discharging, storing and handling. Read these instructions very carefully before first using the battery. Do not fail to take note of the warning notices and instructions for use. Misuse can lead to risks such as explosion, overheating or fire. Failure to observe the instructions for use leads to early failure and other defects. The instructions should therefore be kept in a safe place and it is essential that they are handed over to the second user if the batteries are passed on.

Warning notices

Avoid short-circuits. A short circuit may well destroy the product. Cables and connections must be well insulated.
It is essential when connecting the battery to ensure that the polarity is correct.
Original plug connectors and cables may not be cut off or changed – if need be, use an adapter cable.
Do not expose the battery to excessive heat or cold or to direct sunlight. Do not throw in the fire. Do not place the battery in contact with water or other liquids.
Charge the battery only with charging units intended for the purpose and always use the balancer connection. It is only by using the balancer connection that optimum charging can be measured.
If this connection is not used, charging is subject to the risks mentioned above. Before charging, always first allow the battery to cool to ambient temperature. Never charge while hot.
When charging, place the battery on non-flammable, heat-resistant support. There should be no flammable or readily ignited objects in the vicinity of the battery.
During charging or operation, never leave the battery unsupervised.
Do not fail to keep to the recommended charge/discharge current.
The battery casing must not be damaged. It is essential to avoid damage by sharp objects such as knives or the like, from dropping, impact, bending etc.
Damaged batteries may no longer be used.
Batteries are not toys. They should be kept away from children.

Charging instructions: Lithium batteries are charged according to the CC-CV procedure. CC stands for “constant current“, which is applied during the first phase of charging. Once the battery reaches the maximum voltage configured in the charger, it switches to CV (constant voltage) for the second phase of charging. The battery voltage no longer increases. The charging current now falls continuously until the battery is fully charged. The maximum charging current for the battery is 1C (C=nominal capacity of the battery, e.g. for a battery with a nominal capacity of 2700 mA, the maximum charging current for the battery is 2700 mA (2.7 A)). Never charge several batteries together from a single charger. Differing states of charge and capacities can lead to overcharging and destruction.

Storage instructions: Lithium batteries should be stored and charged to 20-50 % of their capacity and at a temperature of 15-18 °C. If the cell voltage falls below 3 V, they should be recharged. Deep discharge and storage when discharged (call voltage <3 V) will render them battery unusable.

General terms of guarantee

There is a legal guarantee for production and material faults as applicable at the time of dispatch. No liability is accepted for normal wear and tear. This guarantee does not apply for defects attributable to improper use, inadequate maintenance, third-party interference or mechanical damage. This applies, in particular, to used batteries and batteries clearly showing signs of use. Damage and loss of performance due to improper handling and/or overload are not product faults. Batteries are consumables and subject to certain aging. This is influenced by factors such as the charge/discharge currents, the charging procedure, the operating and storage temperatures and the state of charge during storage. Aging shows itself in, among other things, an irreversible loss of capacity. In the model field, where batteries are frequently used to supply motors, very high currents can flow from time to time.

Exclusion of liability: Since we are unable to have any control over charge/discharge, handling, compliance with assembly and operating instructions, battery replacement and its care and maintenance, Tamiya / Carson can accept no liability for loss, damage or costs incurred. Any claim for damages that may result from the operation, failure or faulty operation or that is in any way related thereto will therefore be refused. We accept no liability for personal injury or material damage and the consequences that arise from our delivery.

Disposal instructions: Batteries are hazardous waste. Damaged or unusable cells must be disposed of in the correct manner.

No liability for printing errors, we reserve the right to make changes!
