DRONE MEDIA PR MANUAL OF OPERATION

A UAS is not a toy. The safety instructions are intended not only for the protection of the aircraft, but 

also to protect your own safety or others. Improper operation can cause serious injury and property 

damage. 

• Do not take risks! Your own safety and that of your environment depend on the good behavior 

of the pilot. Always maintain a safe distance from people, animals and objects. Improper 

operation can cause serious injury and property damage. Never fly towards viewers and avoid 

flying over spectators.

• Keep in mind that viewers could get close to the UAS, without being aware of potential 

dangers.

• Always turn off the Quadrocopter Multi-Rotor first and disconnect the flight battery before 

turning off the transmitter.

• Only fly in sight. In the case of manual control, you must be able to see the position and 

attitude.

• Never rely 100% on functions such as GPS, compass, or altitude control. You must always be 

able to take manual control of the Quadrocopter Multi-Rotor.

• Reduce the gas or switch off the motors in case of a crash or failure.

• Do not fly in blocked air space, such as in the vicinity of airports, etc.

• Pay attention to under-voltage warning -flying on an empty battery can cause damage to the 

Lipos and crash.

• If a defect or malfunction has occurred, it must be corrected before the next start.

• Do not fly over people. You need an appropriate insurance before the first flight, as required 

by law in many countries!

• When using GPS, take note that the position of the Quadrocopter Multi-Rotor can change 

suddenly some meters.
