Page 7: Symbols Explication
Due to safety and licensing reasons (CE), any unauthorized reconstruction and/or modification of the product is prohibited. Only use the components and spare parts that we recommend. Always use matching, original Graupner plug-in connections of the same design and material. 7 / 28... - Page 8 Make sure that all of the plug-in connections are tight. When dis- connecting the plug-in connections, do not pull the cables. Protect the Copter from dust, dirt, moisture and other foreign parts. It must be protected from vibration as well as excessive heat or cold.
- Page 9 Storage LiPo batteries should be stored with a voltage of about 3,8V per cell. If the cell voltage falls below 3 V, then the battery must be necessarily charged. Deep discharge and storage in discharge status (cell voltage < 3V) make the battery useless. For transport and storage the LiPo batteries must be placed in a safety case e.g.
- Page 10 The charger and the battery to be charged must be placed on a non-combustible, heat-resistant and non-conducting surface during operation. Do not use the charger near easily flammable materials. Always disconnect the charger from the power supply when it is not in use.

Installing the propellers CAUTION Risk of injury through rotating propellers by motors start. Always unplug the connector to the battery before working on the pro- pellers. Install the propellers as shown in the picture below. Pay atten- tion to install the proper propeller to each motor. The propeller rotation sense is written on the propeller (R/L)! The image rep- resents the copter seen from the top. -
