• Always check all servos and their connections prior to each run.
• Never operate your model near spectators, parking areas or any oth-
er area that could result in injury to people or damage of property.
• Never operate your model during adverse weather conditions. Poor
visibility can cause disorientation and loss of control of your model.
WATER-RESISTANT TRANSMITTER
Your new Horizon Hobby transmitter has a special water-resistant
coating on the electronics to ensure reliable performance in
higher than average moisture conditions. This conformal coating
can offer mild protection from light drops of water.

of time. If it is submerged, it may result in damage or loss of
function.
• DO NOT pour water onto or allow excess water to come in
direct contact with the product.
• DO NOT operate this product in heavy rain or snow.

• Never point the transmitter antenna directly toward the model. The
radiation pattern from the tip of the antenna is inherently low.

ratic or abnormal operation, immediately stop operation of your model

In case of excess exposure to water or debris, immediately wipe
down the transmitter with a soft cloth, and allow it to fully dry
