Do not fly under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or any other substance that may affect

Your Karma uses wireless frequencies that are commonly used by many other electronic
devices and may interfere with other devices, including pacemakers, defibrillators and
other medical devices, or consumer products such as cell phones, cameras, microwaves,
routers, and wireless handsets. Turn off your camera's Wi-Fi connection when operating
your Karma to minimize the chance of interference. Flying your Karma in areas with high
levels of electromagnetic or radio interference may adversely affect the performance
of your Karma, including momentary loss of control of the vehicle. Do not fly near
broadcasting stations or emissions towers.
Choose a suitable outdoor area for flight. Do not fly indoors. Take off and land in areas
clear of any obstacles, animals, or people, and remain at least 10 feet away from your Karma
while taking off and landing. Always ensure that you have a stable, dry, flat, and
unobstructed area to take off and land your Karma. Do not attempt to land your Karma on
water. Inspect your Karma before takeoff to ensure it is not damaged and is assembled
according to GoPro's instructions. The Karma folding arms and landing gear should be
fully deployed and propellers installed and tightened correctly with no cracks or damage.
The Karma landing gear contains electronics and must stay fully deployed at all times to
ensure safe operation.
Check weather conditions prior to using your Karma. Do not use your Karma in heavy
winds or harsh weather conditions such as fog, snow, rain, hail, lightning, tornadoes, dust,
sandstorms, or hurricanes. Land immediately if you sense a loss of control due to drifting
during flight caused by wind conditions.
Karma is not waterproof and should be operated under dry conditions. Water and
moisture will damage your Karma and the enclosed battery which could cause an explosion
or fire. Do not turn on your Karma if it is wet. If your Karma is already on, turn it off and if the
battery on a component can be removed, remove it immediately. Allow your Karma and
any part of your Karma to dry thoroughly before using it again. ANY DAMAGE OR
MALFUNCTION CAUSED BY WATER IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.
