Flying Precautions
WARNING
Never grasp the transmitter antenna while flying.
■ The transmitter output may drop drastically.
Always make sure that all transmitter stick movements oper-
ate all servos properly in the model prior to flight. Also, make
sure that all switches, etc. function properly as well. If there are
any difficulties, do not use the system until all inputs are func-
tioning properly.
Never fly in range check mode.
■ In the dedicated range test range check mode, the transmitter output
range is reduced and may cause a crash.
While operating, never touch the transmitter with, or bring
the transmitter near, another transmitter, a cellphone, or other
wireless devices.
■ Doing so may cause erroneous operation.
Do not point the antenna directly toward the aircraft during
flight.
■ The antenna is directional and the transmitter output is weakest. (The
strength of the radio waves is greatest from the sides of the antenna.)
Never fly on a rainy day, when the wind is strong, or at
night.
■ Water could lead to failure or improper functionality and poor control of
the aircraft which could lead to a crash.
Never turn the power switch off during flight or while the en-
gine or motor is running.
■ Operation will become impossible and the aircraft will crash. Even if the
power switch is turned on, operation will not begin until transmitter and
receiver internal processing is complete.
Do not start the engine or motor while wearing the neck
strap.
■ The neck strap may become entangled with the rotating propeller, rotor,
etc. and cause a serious injury.

= Prohibited
= Mandatory
Do not fly when you are physically impaired as it could pose a
safety hazard to yourself or others.
Do not fly at the following places:
■ Near another radio control flying field.
■ Near or above people.
■ Near homes, schools, airports, stations, hospitals or other places where
people congregate.
■ Near high voltage lines, high structures, or communication facilities.
When setting the transmitter on the ground during flight
preparations, do not stand it upright.
■ The transmitter may tip over, the sticks may move and the propeller or
rotor may rotate unexpectedly and cause injury.
Do not touch the engine, motor, or ESC during and immedi-
ately after use.
■ These items may become hot during use.
For safety, fly so that the aircraft is visible at all times.
■ Flying behind buildings or other large structures will not only cause you
to lose sight of the aircraft, but also degrade the RF link performance and
cause loss of control.
From the standpoint of safety, always set the fail safe func-
tion.
■ In particular, normally set the throttle channel to idle. For a helicopter, set
the throttle channel to maintain a hover.
When flying, always return the transmitter setup screen to
the Home screen.
■ Erroneous input during flight is extremely dangerous.
Always check the remaining capacity of the transmitter and
receiver batteries before each flying session prior to flight.
■ Low battery capacity will cause loss of control and a crash.
