General Safety Precautions
• Read and follow this manual completely, observing all instructions and safety directions. Otherwise, serious injury and damage can occur.
Think about your safety, and the safety of others, first.
• Hold the aeroplane securely when the flight battery is plugged in, keep the propeller away from body parts and clothing, even when it isn't
spinning, as it could be turned on by accident. Beware of hair becoming en-tangled in the propeller, especially while launching your aero
plane.
•
Do not fly when it's too windy or you may lose control and crash, causing injury or damage. Never fly near people, vehicles, train tracks,
buildings, power lines, water, hard surfaces or trees. Never allow anyone to attempt to catch the aeroplane while it's in flight or serious
injury may result.
• Adult supervision for flying and battery charging is recommended for pilots age 14 and younger.
•
Only use a battery charger that is Ni-MH compatible to charge the flight battery. Never leave the charger
This will help prevent overcharging and make sure damage does not occur to the battery, charger or any other property. While charging,
place the battery on a heat-resistant surface. Do not lay it on carpet or upholstery while charging.
•
Never cut into the battery, charger, or aeroplane wires or serious injury may occur. Causing the battery to "short out" (crossing negative
and positive bare wires) can cause fire, serious injury and damage.
• When you finish flying your aeroplane, always unplug the battery before you turn off the transmitter.
•
Never fly on the same frequency as another RC aeroplane in your area. The frequency of the aeroplane is shown on the frequency crys
tals.
