Your copter has powerful motors and high-speed propellers. Never

place your hands near propellers while the motors are armed. Always

disarm the motors using the RC transmitter before handling.

Always fly in an open area away from people and buildings; do not

attempt to fly indoors or in a confined space. Do not fly over people,

near airports, or in any situation that could pose a hazard to those

around you. Always fly within your line of sight and in compliance

with local regulations. Your copter will not avoid obstacles on its own.

As the operator, it is your job to recognize and avoid obstructions

while flying. Always follow the preflight and postflight steps in the

order described in this manual, and remain attentive at all times while

flying.

Environmental factors, such as wind and GPS irregularities, can cause

instability in flight. To avoid potential hazards due to environmental

factors, identify the boundaries of your flying area before takeoff, and

recover the copter manually by switching into stabilize mode if it

moves outside your designated flying area.

Always use an RC transmitter as a primary or backup control system

when flying. Ensure that the transmitter is turned on any time the

copter is powered.
