 Due to safety and licensing reasons (CE), any unauthorized
reconstruction and/or modification of the product is prohib-
ited.
 Only use the components and spare parts that we recom-
mend. Always use matching, original Graupner plug-in con-
nections of the same design and material.
 Make sure that all of the plug-in connections are tight. When
disconnecting the plug-in connections, do not pull the
cables.
 Protect the receiver from dust, dirt, moisture and other for-
eign parts. It must be protected from vibration as well as
excessive heat or cold. The models may only be operated
remotely in normal outside temperatures such as from -10°C
to +55°C.
 Only operate all your components using the current software
version.
 If you have questions which cannot be answered by the
operating manual, please contact us (contact information
see page 3) or another expert in the field.
 Also while programming, make sure that a connected elec-
tric motor cannot accidentally start. Injury risk by the turning
propellers!
 Avoid shock and pressure. Check the receiver regularly for
damages to the housings and cables, specially after model
crashes. Damaged or wet receiver, even if re-dried, should
no longer be used!
Risk of injury! For safety reasons the motors start only if in Atti-
tude mode the throttle stick is in the quarter lowest part. Then it
is possible to control the speed normally. In Rate mode the
motors start after the swhitch on through the motor stop switch
only by idle throttle. Only after that the throttle stick has passed
the midle position the motors speed can be controlled regularly.
Move the throttle stick slowly over the midle so that the motors
do not start uncontrolled fast and the copter flies away without
control. Install the propellers only as very last operation before
flight. Make practice with this function without propellers before
you install them on the copter.
