CEI Conrad Electronic International Limited RCE-NAVIGATOR User Manual

Safety Instructions  |  11

 

Before every flight, check the functional reliability of your model and the transmitter.

Watch out for any visible damage such as defective plug connections or damaged

cables and wires.

 

All moving parts of the model must run smoothly but should not have any play in their

bearings.

 

Before each operation check the correct and secure position of the propellers.

 

Charge the flight battery.

 

Ensure  sufficient  residual  capacity  [  battery  tester  (not  included)  ]  of  the  batteries

inserted in the transmitter. If the batteries are empty, always replace the complete set,

never individual cells only.

 

Always switch on the transmitter first before connecting the battery to the Navigator 250.

 

Set the throttle to zero before connecting the battery to the Navigator 250. The motors

might run unintentionally!

 

When the motors are running, make sure that neither objects nor body parts are in the

rotating and suction area of the propellers.

 

Do not take any risks when operating the model! Your own safety and that of your

environment is solely down to you being responsible when dealing with the model.

 

Improper operation may cause serious injury and property damage! Therefore make

sure to keep a sufficiently safe distance to persons, animals or objects during operation.

 

Select an appropriate location for the operation of the Navigator 250.

 

Fly the Navigator 250 only if your ability to respond is unrestricted. The influence of

tiredness, alcohol or medication can cause incorrect responses.

 

Do not direct your model towards spectators or yourself.

 

Motor, electronics and flight battery may heat up during operation. Wait 5 to 10 minutes

before recharging or replacing the flight battery.

 

Never switch off the transmitter while the Navigator 250 is in use. After landing, always

disconnect the flight battery first. Only then may the transmitter be switched off.

 

In case of a defect or a malfunction, remove the problem before using the Navigator 250

again.

 

Never expose the Navigator 250 or the transmitter to direct sunlight or excessive heat

for an extended period of time.

 

In the case of a severe crash (e.g. from a high altitude) the electric gyro sensors can be

damaged and/or misadjusted. Therefore, full functionality must be tested before flying

again without fail!

 

In  the  event  of  a  crash,  the  throttle  should  be  immediately  set  to  zero.  Rotating

propellers may be damaged if they come into contact with obstacles. Before flying

again, these should be checked for possible tears or breakages!

 

Observe the warn/safety signals emitted by the Navigator 250 at all times to avoid

damage (e.g. discharged battery).

 

Always and only operate the Navigator 250 in a designated RC flying area.

 

Stay  away  from  power  lines,  cellphone  towers  and  other  sources  of  potential

interference, and restricted areas.

 

Never fly the Navigator 250 above people.

 

Contact a local RC club nearby to find out more about designated and approved flying

areas.

 

Correct polarity must be observed while inserting batteries.

 

Remove the flight battery from the Navigator 250 after every flight.

 

Remove the batteries from the transmitter if you do not use it for a longer period of time.

Discharged batteries may leak.
