Please contact the local distributors for problem solutions caused by usage, operation, maintenance, etc. 1.3 Safety needing attention 1) Far away from obstacle and people. RC aircraft in flights is uncertain of flight speed and status, which potential risk exists in when flying. Please keep your radio controlled aircraft far away from people, high buildings, high-tension line, etc, and avoid operating in rain, storms, thunder and lightening. 2) Away from humidity environment Radio controlled aircraft should be kept away from humidity and vapor because it is composed of complicated precise electronic elements and mechanic parts. 3) Proper operation Use original spare parts to upgrade, modify or maintain your equipment in order to assure its safety. Please operate your equipment within the range of functions permitted. It is forbidden to use out of the safety laws or regulations. 4) Safety operation Operate your equipment according to your body status and flight skills. Fatigue, listlessness and mis-operation will increase the possibilities of accidental hazard. 5) Away from heat sources The inside of the transmitter is composed of precise electronic components and mechanical parts. Keep it far away form heat sources and sunshine to avoid distortion, or even damage caused by high temperature. 6) Correct charging method Use the assorted charger to charge the battery for your DEVO-12. The usage of the charger should be within the range of rated voltage. 1.4 Attention before flight 1) Ensure the battery packs of both transmitter and receiver are fully saturated. 2) Ensure both the throttle stick and the throttle trim of your DEVO-12 stay at the lowest positions before operation. 3) Strictly obey the order of TURN-ON and TURN-OFF before operation. When starting your flight, turn on your DEVO-12 first, and connect the battery to the aircraft last. When turning off the aircraft, disconnect the battery first, and turn off your DEVO-12 last. An upset in the order may cause your aircraft out of control.
User Manual for DEVO-12 Page 7 of 238 Cultivate a correct habit of turn-on and turn-off. 4) Ensure whether the directions and actions of all the servos in your RC aircraft are correct when executing commands of the transmitter.

Below are some advices on how to install your equipments. 1) Wrap the receiver with 10mm thick foam and soundly fix it with a rubber or magic string on your aircraft model. It helps protect the receiver from damage. 2) It is necessary to use rubber grommets and copper sleeves to isolate the vibrations from the main body of aircraft model. The mounting screws cannot be over-tightened. Otherwise the rubber grommets will be distorted and decrease the vibration absorption effect. 3) When mounting the servos, make sure the servos’ bellcranks can move freely over their whole travel range and ensure the control linkages don’t touch or impede the movement of these servos. 4) If installing various switches, keep them far away from the engine tuned pipe and high vibration sources. Ensure all the switches move freely over their whole travel range. 5) Don’t make the receiver antennas wrapped or parallel.
