Flight

Please be mindful of your personal safety and the safety of others when flying. Do not fly in adverse weather conditions. Do not attempt to grab the Drone while it is in flight. This product is intended for experienced riders over the age of 14. After each flight, disengage the motors and turn off the Drone, disconnect the battery, and then you can turn off the radio control.

Use Of Batteries

LiPo batteries are different from conventional batteries in that their chemical contents are enclosed in a particularly thin and light foil casing. This has the benefit of significantly reducing their weight but makes them more susceptible to damage if handled roughly and inappropriately. Like all batteries, there is a risk of fire or explosion if safety practices are ignored.

1. Discharge the battery at a temperature no lower than 5°C.
2. To avoid complete discharge and therefore damage the battery, do not prolong the discharge time.
3. Do not disassemble or reassemble the battery.
4. Do not short-circuit the battery.
5. Do not use or charge near heat sources.
6. Do not put the battery in contact with water or any type of liquid.
7. Do not charge batteries in sunlight or near heat sources.
8. Do not puncture or subject the battery to the force of any kind.
9. Do not handle the battery improperly.
10. Never charge a damaged, deformed, or swollen battery.
11. Do not weld on or near the battery.
12. Do not overcharge or excessively discharge the battery.
