 Adult supervision required.
•
 Changes or modifications to this product not expressly approved by the

 Do not touch the spinning blades or fly over another person’s head.

 Keep your face and body as well as all spectators away from the rotors 
whenever the battery is connected.

 Maintain a safe pilot-to-helicopter distance while flying.

 Stay clear of buildings, trees and power lines. AVOID flying in or near crowded 
areas. DO NOT fly close to people, children or pets.
•
 You must check the operation of the model before every flight to ensure that 
it is structurally sound.
•
 Your Proto-X FPV should not be considered a toy, but rather a small, working 
model. If not operated correctly, the model could possibly cause injury to you 
or spectators and damage to property.
•
 The Proto-X FPV has parts that rotate and move at high speeds which in 
itself poses a certain degree of danger. Please be mindful of this as you 
operate your model.
•
Choose a wide open space with minimal obstructions and do not operate your 
model near buildings or crowds of people, high voltage power lines or trees.
•
 Improper use may cause damage to people or property.
•
 Your Proto-X FPV is powered by a Lithium-Polymer (LiPo) battery. To avoid 
risk of fire damage use ONLY the provided charger and avoid charging your 
model on a combustible surface.
•
 If you do not plan on flying your Proto-X FPV for a week or more, store the 
battery approximately 50% charged (one and one half hour charge time from 
a fully depleted battery) to maintain best battery performance.
•
 Never get your Proto-X FPV wet or operate in the rain.
