Page 5: Warnings And Precautions
Warnings and precautions Flying Eye reserves the right to suspend the warranty of any person who fails to comply with the basic safety instructions set out below. Flying Eye accepts no liability for any damage or injury directly or indirectly related to the use of pyrotechnic cartridges or as a result of the use of pyrotechnic cartridges that do not comply with safety requirements and standards. - Page 6 Warnings and precautions Check that the parachute system is in good condition before each outing. Do not use the device if it is damaged or if the test procedure is inconclusive. If necessary, contact your dealer. The parachute in no way alters the operation of the drone. Any flight with a drone implies the existence of a risk for the equipment and people in the vicinity, with or without a parachute.
