  • Page 4: Intended Use

    Intended use The.“RC.EYE.650”.is.a.flight.model;.solely.designed.for.private.use.in.the.model.making.area..This.system.is.not.suitable.for.other.types.of. use..Any.use.other.than.the.one.described.above.may.damage.the.product..Moreover,.it.would.involve.dangers.such.as.short-circuit,.fire,. electric.shock,.etc..Observe.the.safety.instructions.under.all.circumstances!.The.product.must.not.get.damp.or.wet!.The.product.is.not.a.toy. and.should.be.kept.out.of.reach.of.children.under.14.years.of.age.. In.the.professional.field,.such.flight.devices.are.already.used.for.the.most.diverse.of.tasks..The.latest.micro.processor.controlled.electronics. with.position.control.and.acceleration.sensor.stabilise.the.RC.EYE.650. High.quality.brushless.DC.motors.paired.with.a.specially.developed.drive.enable.long.and.powerful.flight.operation.while.still.providing. reserve.for.transporting.loads.such.as.cameras,.etc..The.novel.steering.and.the.electronic.selfstabilisation.result.in.excellent.flight.handling. characteristics..Different.flying.programmes.ensure.that.both.beginners.and.experts.will.be.able.to.have.fun. The.RC.EYE.650.can.be.used.both.indoors.and.outdoors..The.in-built.electronic.controls.can.balance.out.small.undesired.changes.to.the. flight.altitude,.but.cannot.remove.them.completely..The.RC.EYE.650.weighs.relatively.little.and.is.sensitive.to.wind..Therefore,.ideal.flying. conditions.are.when.there.is.a.complete.lack.of.wind.or.very.gentle.and.even.wind. The.lightweight.body.frame.and.synthetic.components.are.sturdy.and.enable.excellent.flight.handling.characteristics..The.frame.is.collapsible. and.therefore.space-saving.and.easy.to.transport..The.body.frame.contains.the.complete.set.of.electronics.and.has.space.for.expansion. plates..The.grid.construction.makes.for.good.stability.and.good.protection.of.the.electronics.at.a.low.weight. Due.to.its.construction,.the.RC.EYE.650.is.designed.for.experienced.model.helicopter.pilots.who.do.not.just.want.to.carry.out.helicopter-like,. but also sensational moves. However,.this.extremely.manoeuvrable.model.is.also.suitable.for.beginners!.We.recommend,.however,.that.before.the.first.flight,.beginners. follow.an.appropriate.training.program.in.a.flight.simulator.for.helicopters.and/or.seek.active.assistance.from.an.experienced.model. helicopter pilot. The model can be expanded by additional electronics (expansion interface available on the control unit) and the mounting of several mechanisms.on.the.platform.mount.fixture.on.the.underside.of.the.grid.frame For.safety.and.approval.purposes.(CE),.you.must.not.rebuild.and/or.modify.this.product..If.you.use.the.product.for.purposes.other.than.those.

If a certain battery voltage is exceeded (threshold approx. 9.4 V), the red LED (LD2) starts to flash.quickly..The.green.LED.(LD1).is.permanently.lit..This.indicator.can.only.be.reset.by.disconnecting.the.flight.battery..If.the.red.LED.(LD2). flashes,.you.should.carry.out.a.landing.as.quickly.as.possible.and.adjust.the.flight.operation. If the RC EYE 650 is connected to a non-fully charged battery, this can also lead to undervoltage detection. In this case, fully charge the flight battery first of all and then try the take-off once again.
