2. Precaucions de seguretat

  • Keep small parts of the aircraft out of reach of children to prevent accidents.
  • After the flight, turn off the remote control first, then turn off the aircraft's power.
  • Do not place the battery in high-temperature or heated areas (such as fire or near heating devices).
  • Maintain a distance of 2-3 meters between the aircraft during flight and users or other people to avoid collisions during takeoff and landing.
  • Children operating the aircraft should be guided by an adult, ensuring the aircraft remains within the operator's (or supervisor's) line of sight for easy control.
  • Non-rechargeable batteries should not be charged. Do not mix new and old or different types of batteries.
  • Els terminals d'alimentació no s'han de curtcircuitar.
  • If the battery is not used for more than 10 days, store it at 40%-50% capacity to extend the battery's lifespan.
  • Maintain a safe distance from rapidly rotating propellers to avoid the risk of injury.
  • To meet electromagnetic environment requirements of aviation radio stations, the use of all types of model remote controllers is prohibited within a radius of 5000m centered on the airport runway.
  • During the period and in areas where relevant authorities issue radio control orders, model remote control use should be stopped as required.
  • Only use recommended transformers for the model; transformers are not models. Disconnect the model from the transformer or charger before cleaning with a liquid. Regularly check the transformer's wires, plugs, casing, and other parts for damage. If damage is found, stop using it until it is repaired.
  • Turn off the remote control and aircraft power when not in use, and remove the batteries from the remote control.
  • Important information is included in the packaging or manual and should be retained.
  • Avoid direct exposure to laser radiation beams.
