1. For the safety of your property, keep the drone within your visual range during flight.
2. The drone is made of materials including metal, fiber, plastic, and electronic components. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and keep them away from any heat sources. Excessive heat can cause deformation and damage.
3. The drone consists of various precision electronic and mechanical parts. Therefore, make sure that moisture and water do not enter the drone to prevent mechanical or electronic component failures that could lead to accidents.
4. The performance of the drone and battery can be affected by environmental factors such as air density and temperature. Exercise caution when flying at altitudes above 3281 ft (1000 m) above sea level, as the performance of the battery and drone may be reduced.
5. To avoid interference between the drone and other wireless devices, please turn off other wireless devices while using the drone.
6. Avoid flying in areas where magnetic or radio interference may occur, such as near Wi-Fi hotspots, routers, Bluetooth devices, high-voltage power lines, high-voltage power transmission stations, mobile base stations, or broadcast towers. Flying in areas where interference can disrupt communication between the drone and remote may adversely affect flight direction and positioning accuracy, possibly resulting in loss of control. Interference can also cause errors in the video downlink connection.
7. Be cautious around children. Avoid placing fingers in the rotating propellers.
8. Inside the packaging are small accessories. Do not swallow them. Seek immediate medical help if accidentally ingested.
9. Secure valuable items during indoor flights to prevent accidental damage due to operational errors.
