Radio controlled models are not toys in the normal sense and 

should not be operated by anyone under the age of 14 years old 

without the consent and supervision of a responsible adult.

Their construction and operation requires technical understan-

ding, careful assembly and safety awareness in operation. Mi-

stakes  or  carelessness  in  the  build  or  operation  can  lead  to 

serious damage to persons or property.

As the manufacturer and re-seller has no influence over the safe 

construction and operation of the model, this risk is advised to 

you and we absolve all responsibility for damage to persons or 

property, howsoever caused.

Mechanical or electrical technical defects, can lead to an unex-

pected starting of drive motors. This can in turn lead to parts being 

thrown from the drive train at high speed. Operation of the recei-

ving system without the transmitter being switched on can lead to 

unexpected operation of motors and servos.

Therefore the possibility of serious wounding is always there. All 

such driven rotating parts, offer a permanent threat to subject 

damage to persons or property.

Never put your hands or body near the danger areas of electric 

motors whilst they are connected to their power batteries. Ensure 

that no other objects or clothing come into contact with rotating 

parts!

Protect your equipment from dust, dirt and dampness. Keep it 

away from excessive heat, cold and vibration. The equipment is 

designed to operate in an ambient temperature range from –15 

to +55 Celsius.

Use only the recommended chargers and charge your batteries 

for the prescribed times. Take note of the advice given by the 

battery manufacturer. Incorrect and over charging can lead to 

explosion of the batteries. Ensure correct polarity is maintained.

Avoid shock or constant pressure loading on the electronic parts 

of the system. Check for damage to casings and cables after a 

crash. If a part becomes damaged or wet (even after drying out) 

do not re use! Either send to robbe service to check or replace 

the affected part yourself.

Hidden damage can occur through ingress of water or after a 

collision, this can lead to function failure after a short operation 

time. Only genuine robbe replacement parts or accessories may 

be used with this equipment.

Always use genuine robbe-Futaba connectors and crystals. No 

modifications may be made to the equipment.

If there is more than one modeller operating at your model site, 

please check that no one else is using your frequency before 

turning on your transmitter.

•  Observe any frequency control procedures in operation at the

site.

•  The transmitter aerial must be fully extended and secure in its

mounting

•  Before switching on the receiver, ensure the throttle stick is at

its lowest setting.

•  Always turn the transmitter ON first, then switch the receiver on

•  Always turn the receiver OFF first, then the transmitter off

•  Make a range check with collapsed transmitter aerial

•  Go through a control check, taking special note that servo di-

rection and throw is correct for your model.

•  Are mixers and switches in their correct positions?

•  Is the battery condition sufficient for operation?

•  Any doubts, don’t operate the model!!

•  Don’t put people or animals at risk

•  Don’t  operate  your  model  near  locks,  weirs  or  other  water

users

•  Don’t operate your model on public roads, motorways, foot-

paths or other public areas etc.

For full control of your model, you must have the transmitter aerial 

fully extended. Don’t point your aerial directly at the model as the

signal strength will be at its lowest. It is always best to have your 

transmitter aerial acting parallel to the model axis.

When several transmitters are in operation and on neighbouring 

channels, it is recommended that you stand in a group to avoid 

unwanted interference from or to the other models.

Ground-based models are usually insured by your own private 

liability insurance, check that your insurance includes models and 

has sufficient third party liability cover.

robbe Modellsport are not in a position to influence the way you 

install, operate and maintain the radio control system compon-

ents.

For this reason we are obliged to deny all liability for loss, damage 

or costs which are incurred due to the incompetent or incorrect 

use and operation of our products, or which are connected with 

such operation in any way.

Unless otherwise prescribed by law, the obligation of the com-

pany to pay compensation is limited to the invoice value of the 

robbe products, which were immediately and directly involved in 

the event, which caused the damage.

This does not apply if robbe is found to be subject to unlimited 

liability according to binding legal regulation on account of delibe-

rate or gross negligence.
