Follow these guidelines to get the best performance from your REMOVU S1.
- REMOVU S1 is a rainproof gimbal that can be used in the rain or snow. Do not submerge S1 in the water for under-
water shoot purpose. Make sure that S1's battery cover is closed before using.
- Before closing the doors, be sure the seals are free of debris. If needed, clean with a cloth.
- Before opening the doors, be sure S1 gimbal is free of water or debris. If needed, rinse the device with fresh water

- If sand or debris hardens around the doors, rinse with tap water thoroughly to remove the debris before opening
the doors.
- After every use in salt water, rinse the S1 gimbal with fresh water and dry it with a clean cloth.
- In wet environments, dry the S1 gimbal with a soft cloth and dry it, so that it will be protected from corrosion.

Follow these guidelines to get the safe performance from your REMOVU S1.
- The batteries of S1 and the remote controller should be charged by an S1 exclusive charger only. 5V/2A adaptor is
recommended. Charge only 1 battery, if charged under 5V/1A.
- S1 contains sensitive components, including the battery. Avoid exposing your S1 to very cold or very hot tempera-
tures. Low or high temperature conditions may temporarily shorten the battery life or cause the S1 to temporarily
stop working properly.
- Avoid dramatic changes in temperature or humidity when using the S1, as condensation may form on or within S1.
- Do not dry the S1 or battery with an external heat source such as a microwave oven or hair dryer. Damage to the S1
or battery caused by contact with liquid inside the S1 is not covered under the warranty.
- Do not store your battery with metal objects, such as coins, keys or necklaces. If the battery terminals come in
contact with metal objects, this may cause a re.
Most rechargeable Li-Polymer batteries are classied as non-hazardous waste and are safe for disposal in the normal
municipal waste stream. Many localities have laws in place requiring battery recycling. Check your local laws to make
sure that you can dispose of rechargeable batteries in your regular trash. To safely dispose of Li-Polymer batteries,
protect terminals from exposure to other metal with packing, masking or electrical tape so they do not cause a re
while being transported. Never dispose of a battery in a re because it may explode.
Warning: Do not drop, disassemble, open, crush, bend, deform, puncture, shred, microwave, incinerate
or paint the S1 or battery. Do not insert foreign objects into the battery opening on the S1. Do
not use the S1 or the battery, if it has been damaged—for example, if cracked, punctured or
harmed by water. Disassembling or puncturing the battery can cause an explosion or re.
