    SAFETY NOTES To help ensure a safe charge every time, you MUST read the following safety instructions and warnings before handling, charging or using the Li-Po battery pack. Lithium Polymer batteries are significantly more volatile than the alkaline, Ni-Cd or Ni-MH batteries used in RC applications. Mishandling of Li-Po batteries can result in fire. By handling, charging or using the included Li-Po battery, you assume all risks associated with lithium batteries.

This is the LOW VOLTAGE CUTOFF FEATURE – the circuit board automatically reduces power setting to 30% to remind you to land while you still have enough battery power to maneuver.
