e) Do not overcharge the internal battery. Follow manufacturer’s instructions for proper charging.
f) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
g) The pre-flight checklist provided with the UAV shall be followed and adhered to prior to each flight.
h) Only charge the UAV battery using the battery charger provided by the UAV manufacturer.
i) This UAV is only intended to be operated only by qualified pilots in accordance with US FAA regulations.
j) This UAV is only intended for its given application. Modification to the UAV for other purposes is not permitted.
k) Only use the UAV in a safe manner, including:
• Operate the UAV only in a direct line of sight throughout its entire flight path; Do not fly this UAV in the vicinity of people that are not associated with the given commercial function of the UAV.
• Do not operate this UAV at an altitude over 400 feet (122 meters).
• Do not operate this UAV over public areas or public roads.
• Do not operate this UAV in restricted air space, such as near airports.
• Do not operate this UAV in adverse weather conditions that could affect safe control and operation.
Installation Instructions
