• Select a suitable location (open space) to
operate the quadcopter. Flying over the
following areas is prohibited, and a distance
of 100m from these areas must be maintained:
crowded areas, accident sites, disaster areas
and other areas where public authorities and
organisations are engaged in security/safety
activities; over mobile installations and troops
of the armed forces conducting announced
manoeuvres and military exercises; nature
conservation areas; residential areas; industrial
plants; penal institutions; involuntary treatment
facilities; military installations and organisations;
power generation and distribution infrastructure;
facilities in which Protection Level 4 work is be-
ing carried out that requires prior authorisation
under the Ordinance on Biological Substances,
unless the facility operator has given express
permission; hospitals; public motorways; public
waterways; railway infrastructure; state and
county constitutional bodies or supreme or
higher state or county authorities; embassies
and consulates; international organisations that
are located in an area based on international
law; and police property and property of other
security agencies.
• Do not fly the quadcopter in areas where tem-
peratures can change rapidly, e.g. over a fire or
over water surfaces.
• Flight over the following areas is prohibited,
and a distance of 1.5km from these areas must
be maintained: airports, airfield control zones,
state and military buildings. Local flight exclu-
sion zones must be checked before each flight.
• The quadcopter has been designed for use
by laypeople as well as experienced/trained
users. Users with sight or hearing impairments
must only use the quadcopter under the
supervision of those without impairments. The
user’s reactive capacity must not be compro-
mised: tiredness, and the influence of alcohol
or medication can lead to incorrect responses.
Additional skills are not required (e.g. training
etc.). There are no operating restrictions based
on gender or left/right-handedness.
• Never fly the quadcopter directly at other peo-
ple, animals or yourself.
• The motor, electronics and rechargeable battery
can heat up while the quadcopter is in opera-
tion. For this reason, take a break of 5–10 min-
utes before recharging the battery or installing
another previously charged battery.
• Improper operation can cause serious personal
injury and damage to property! For this reason,
make sure that you maintain a safe distance from
other people, animals and objects when flying.
• Always leave the remote control switched on
while the quadcopter is in operation. Always
first disconnect the battery connector from the
quadcopter connector after landing. The remote
control can then be switched off.
• In the event of a defect or a malfunction, the
cause of the defect must first be resolved before
you restart the quadcopter.
• Do not expose the quadcopter or the remote
control to direct sunlight or high temperatures
for extended periods of time.
• In the event of a serious crash (for example,
from a significant height), the calibration may
be damaged or detuned.
It is therefore imperative that complete function-
ality is checked before a new flight!
• In the event of a crash, the throttle must be
brought down to zero immediately. Rotating ro-
tors can be damaged during contact with obsta-
cles or on impact. Before a new flight, always
check them for possible cracks or breakages!
• In order to prevent damage to the quadcopter
from crashing due to under-voltage, or to the
rechargeable battery due to deep discharge,
always keep a close eye on the under-voltage
indicator lights (see section on ‘Under-voltage
warning’).
• In some countries, insurance is mandatory for
model aircraft and model helicopters which are
flown outdoors. Please consult your personal
liability insurer and ensure that your quadcopter
is included in this insurance.
