Safety Notes - Beastx MICROBEAST PLUS Quick Start Manual

SAFETY NOTES

• Radio controlled (R/C) helicopters are no toys! The rotor blades rotate at high speed and pose potential
risk. They may cause severe injury due to improper usage. It is necessary to observe common safety
rules for R/C models and the local law. You can gather information from your local R/C model club or
from your national modelers association.
• Pay attention to your own safety and the safety of other people and property in your vicinity when
using our product. Always fly in areas away from other people. Never use R/C models in close proximity
to housing areas or crowds of people. R/C models may malfunction or crash due to several reasons like
piloting mistakes or radio interference, and cause severe accidents. Pilots are fully responsible for their
actions, and for damage or injuries caused by the usage of their models.
• Please read the following instructions thoroughly before the first use of your MICROBEAST PLUS and
setup the system carefully according to this manual. Allow sufficient time for the setup procedure and
check each step carefully. Watch for a mechanically clean and proper build of your helicopter. A wrong
system setup can lead to a serious accident and damage to the model.
• Radio controlled (R/C) models consist of several electrical components. It is therefore necessary to
protect the model from moisture and other foreign subtances. If the model is exposed to moisture this
may lead to a malfunction which may cause damage to the model or a crash. Never fly in the rain or
extremely high humidity.
• When operating the helicopter with a MICROBEAST PLUS ensure there is a sufficiently large and stable
receiver power supply. Because of the direct coupling of the rotor blades to the servos, without the use
of a flybar mixer, the servos are exposed to increased actuating forces. In addition, because of the
intermediary electronic gyro system, the servos are driven more often than with traditional use. These
factors can make the power consumption increase a lot compared to a flybar helicopter. When the
supply voltage falls below 3.5 volts for a short amount a of time, the system will power off and reboot.
In this case a crash of the helicopter is unavoidable.
• Do not expose the MICROBEAST PLUS system to extreme variations in temperature. Before powering
up the system, wait some time so that the electronics can acclimatize and any accumulated
condensation is able to evaporate.
• The sensors of MICROBEAST PLUS consist of highly sensitive electromechanical components. These can
be damaged due to moisture or mechanical or electrical impact. Do not continue using this product, if
it has been exposed to such influences, e.g. due to a crash of the model or due to overvoltage caused
by a defective receiver power supply. Otherwise a failure may happen any time.
• When operating electric helicopters make sure that the electric motor cannot start inadvertently during
the setup procedure. Particularly pay attention if using a single-line receiver and if the ESC is connected
directly to the MICROBE AST PLUS. We recommend disconnecting the electric motor from the ESC during
the setup procedure. Prior the first usage please slide the motor/pinion away from the main gear, then
check that the motor does not to start inadvertently when the receiver is switched on.
