Page 14: Safety Notices
Flyability is not responsible for any damages to the Configurable RC caused through improper use. DO NOT use any other battery other than those supplied by Flyability. Use of other batteries may damage the product and/or affect its performance. DO NOT bend the RC Cable though a radius smaller than 1cm and the Module Cable through a radius smaller than 7cm. -
Page 15: Environmental Awareness
The Antenna Module emits the highest level of radiation, perpendicular to the cables feeding the unit. To ensure the best performance, Flyability recommends using the system in a dry en- vironment, with a minimum of 5cm between the antennas and surrounding surfaces. If the an- tenna module is in direct contact with metallic structures, the quality of the signal and range can be degraded. -
Page 16: Use
