IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE FOR DRONE CARE

• Heat is a known factor in battery fires; if a battery is pushed beyond 60°C/140°F during use or charging, problems could occur due to metallic lithium generation that can damage the cell
• Store upright and do not rest objects against the drone
• Do not use if drone is punctured or damaged
• Do not expose the drone to water
• Do not leave the drone in direct sunlight
• Please use caution when in the presence of children or animals

This drone contains a rechargeable internal lithium polymer (Li-Po) battery. Please do not attempt to remove, disassemble, replace or repair the battery after expiration of the battery. Please contact customer support if you observe swelling in the engine assembly.

GUIDELINES FOR LI-PO BATTERY-POWERED DEVICES

• Never overcharge a Li-Po battery
• Do not charge Li-Po batteries near flammable materials or liquids
• Keep Li-Po batteries away from children and animals
• Never use or charge a Li-Po battery that has ballooned or swelled
• Never use or charge a Li-Po battery that has been punctured or damaged
• Heat is a known factor in battery fires; if a battery is pushJed beyond 60°C/140°F during discharging or charging, problems could occur due to metallic lithium generation, which damages the cell

WARNING: DO NOT LEAVE BATTERY CHARGING UNSUPERVISED

DRONE CHARGING SAFETY GUIDELINES

• Do not leave the drone unsupervised when charging
• Make sure there is no short circuit of the power wire
• Please use the recommended charger only. Do not charge on a gaming console. Only use your computer’s USB port, power bank or phone wall charger to charge the battery
• To avoid trickle charging, always unplug the drone from the USB charger when storing or leaving unattended
• Check the charger’s wire, plug, and surface regularly. Do not use a broken charger
• When drone is fully charged, do not try to charge further until it has been partially or fully discharged
• Leave time between charging and using the drone
• Do NOT overcharge the drone. It may cause overheating and in turn this overheating could damage the battery or melt/burn internal surfaces when charging. Normal charging time is 50 minutes
• Never try charging the drone if you feel the battery has been damaged, you run the risk of fire
• Cells that are obviously swollen or have physical damage should never be used, and careful disposal is required, especially if the cells are swollen; check the engine assembly of the drone for swelling

charger port. See the diagram on Page 7.”
Why doesn’t Scoot charge?| “My USB plug will turn red when it’s plugged into a power source; the light will stay on while I’m charging. When I’m fully charged, the USB plug will turn off.”
Why does Scoot crash?| “I don’t mean to! If you make sure you’re in a spacious room, I can easily change direction when I sense an obstacle. If the space is too small, I might try to change directions too quickly.”
What if Scoot goes too fast?| “I always try to avoid any obstacles: walls, furniture, people, solid objects. Sometimes, I like to zoom! Make sure the room we’re in has a good amount of airspace for my flight path.”
How durable is Scoot?| “I’m pretty tough, but please be gentle! A little toss is all it takes to launch me. “Catch” me out of the air quickly and turn me upside down to stop me. Always make sure you’re in a safe, clear flight area before relaunching me.”
Where can Scoot fly?| “I like to explore, but I can get pretty adventurous! I’m at my best indoors, with plenty of space.”
Can Scoot’s performance be improved?| “If you need to adjust my flight control, check out the calibration section on Page 5.”
