• For indoor use an area of 6 x 4m must be
available. If this space is not available then the
quadrocopter may only be used outdoors.
For outdoor operation the product must be
flown within sight and at a maximum height of
100m. Keep a minimum distance of 5m.
• Do not fly the quadrocopter in areas where the
temperature can change rapidly, e.g. over a
fire or over areas of water.
• Select a suitable location (open area) to ope-
rate the quadrocopter. Avoid flying over and
keep at least 100m to the side of the following
areas: groups of people, sites of accidents,
disaster zones and other places where the
authorities and security organisations are
working, as well as above mobile facilities and
the troops of the German army in the course of
registered manoeuvres and exercises, conser-
vation areas, residential plots, industrial plants,
correctional facilities, psychiatric units, military
facilities and organisations, energy production
and distribution facilities, and facilities in which
activities are carried out that require permits
of protection level 4 in accordance with the
German Ordinance on Safety and Health
Protection at Workplaces Involving Biological
Agents unless the operator of the facility has
given express permission, hospitals, federal
highways, federal waterways, railway installati-
ons, and constitutional organs of where federal
or state authorities or diplomatic or consular
representatives as well as international organi-
sations within the meaning of international law
are headquartered as well as the properties of
the police and other security authorities.
Avoid flying over and keep at least 1.5km to
the side of the following areas: airports, control
zones for airfields, state or military buildings.
Local no-fly zones must be checked before
each flight.
• The areas for use of the drone are laid out
from laypersons to trained / instructed users.
Users with visual and/or hearing impediments
may only operate the quadrocopter without
limitations if accompanied by a supervisor(s).
Response capability must not be impeded
(tiredness or the influence of alcohol or medica-
tions could lead to incorrect reactions).
No further skills are required (e.g. training,
etc.). There are no limitations for persons of
different sexes or who are right or left-handed.
• Never fly the quadrocopter directly towards
persons, animals, or yourself.
• The motor, electronics, and storage battery can
heat up when operating the quadrocopter. For
this reason please take a break of 5-10 minutes
before you charge the storage battery again
or start again with any replacement storage
battery you may have.
• Incorrect operation can cause serious damage
to persons and property!
You must therefore ensure a sufficiently safe
distance from persons, animals, and objects
during flights.
• Always leave the remote control on while the
quadrocopter is in operation. Always discon-
nect the storage battery plug connection from
the quadrocopter plug connection first after lan-
ding. Only then should you switch the remote
control off.
• In the event of a defect or malfunction the
cause of the fault must be resolved before
starting the quadrocopter again.
• Do not subject the quadrocopter or the remote
control to direct sunlight or high heat over long
periods of time.
• The electronic gyro sensors could be damaged
or mistuned in the event of a serious crash
(for example from a great height). You must
therefore always check that it is fully functioning
before the next flight!
• Reduce the throttle to zero immediately
following a crash. Turning rotors could be da-
maged if they come into contact with obstacles
or the ground. They must be inspected for any
cracks or breakage before flying again!
• Pay attention to the light signals on the low
voltage indicator in order to prevent damage to
the quadrocopter from a crash caused by low
voltage or deep discharge (see the section ‘low
voltage warning’).
• Model aircraft and helicopters flown outdoors
need to be insured in some countries. Please
ask your private liability insurer and ensure that
your quadrocopter is included in this insurance.
