SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Failure to follow these safety precautions may result in injury to yourself and others.
• Keep your face and body as well as all spectators away from the rotating plane of the blades whenever the battery is
connected. Keep loose clothing, shirt sleeves, ties, scarfs, long hair or loose objects such as pencils or screwdrivers that
may fall out of shirt or jacket pockets away from the rotors. The spinning blades of a model quadcopter can cause serious
injury. When choosing a flying site for your Xplorer, stay clear of buildings, trees and power lines. AVOID flying in or near
crowded areas. DO NOT fly close to people or pets. Maintain a safe distance from the drone.
• Your Xplorer should not be considered a toy. Because of its performance capabilities, the Xplorer, if not operated correctly,
could cause injury to you or spectators and damage to property.
• DO NOT alter or modify the model. Doing so may result in an unsafe or non-flyable model.
• When and if repairs are necessary, you must correctly install all components so that the model operates properly on the
ground and in the air. Please check the operation of the model before every flight to ensure that all equipment is operating
and that the model has remained structurally sound. Be sure to check propellers before each flight. Replace them if they
show any signs of wear or fatigue.

FOLLOW RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION OF FPV AIRCRAFT
Always follow the AMA Safety Code when operating model aircraft. Visit the Academy of Model
Aeronautics: www.modelaircraft.org and search for "FPV 550" and read "Document 550 - Utilizing
First Person View Systems" to learn about the safe operation of FPV "First Person View" systems in
model aircraft.
BATTERY WARNINGS
• ALWAYS unplug your battery from either the charger or drone after use.
• NEVER store your drone with the battery plugged into the drone.
• DO NOT attempt to charge your battery if it becomes swollen or hot.
• The Xplorer does not have a voltage cutoff/failsafe. When the LEDs begin to flash, land the drone and disconnect the
battery.
• It is best to store your batteries in a cool, dry location at 1/2 charge. Storing a fully discharged battery may cause
irreversible damage to the battery.
• NEVER disassemble, puncture or modify the battery pack in any way.
• NEVER allow the battery temperature to exceed 150° F [65° C].
• If your battery begins to swell or "puff" during charge or discharge or becomes damaged in any way, stop using it.
