Battery Warnings and Usage Guidelines
WARNING: Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries are significantly more volatile than alkaline, NiCd or
NiMH batteries. All instructions and warnings must be followed exactly to prevent property damage
and/or serious injury as the mishandling of LiPo batteries can result in fire. By handling, charging or
using the included LiPo battery you assume all risks associated with LiPo batteries. If you do not
agree with these conditions please return the complete product in new, unused condition to the place
of purchase immediately.
You must always charge the LiPo battery in a safe, well-ventilated area away from flammable materials.
Never charge the LiPo battery unattended at any time. When charging the battery, you must always
remain in constant observation to monitor the charging process and react immediately to any poten-
tial problems that may occur.
After flying/discharging the LiPo battery you must allow it to cool to ambient/room temperature
before recharging.
To charge the LiPo battery you must use only the included charger or a suitably compatible LiPo bat-
tery charger. Failure to do so may result in a fire causing property damage and/or serious injury.
If at any time the LiPo battery begins to balloon or swell, discontinue charging or discharging imme-
diately. Quickly and safely disconnect the battery, then place it in a safe, open area away from flam-
mable materials to observe it for at least 15 minutes. Continuing to charge or discharge a battery that
has begun to balloon or swell can result in a fire. A battery that has ballooned or swollen even a small
amount must be removed from service completely.
Do not over-discharge the LiPo battery. Discharging the battery too low can cause damage to the bat-
tery resulting in reduced power, flight duration or failure of the battery entirely. LiPo cells should not
be discharged to below 3.0V each under load.
Store the LiPo battery at room temperature and in a dry area for best results.
When charging, transporting or temporarily storing the LiPo battery the temperature range should be
from approximately 40–120 ° F (5–49 ° C). Do not store the battery or aircraft in a hot garage, car or
direct sunlight. If stored in a hot garage or car the battery can be damaged or even catch fire.
Never leave batteries, chargers and power supplies unattended during use.
Never attempt to charge low voltage, ballooned/swollen, damaged or wet batteries.
Never allow children under 14 years of age to charge batteries.
Never charge a battery if any of the wire leads have been damaged or shorted.
Never attempt to disassemble the battery, charger or power supply.
Never drop batteries, chargers or power supplies.
Always inspect the battery, charger and power supply before charging.
Always ensure correct polarity before connecting batteries, chargers and power supplies.
Always disconnect the battery after charging.
Always terminate all processes if the battery, charger or power supply malfunctions.
General Safety Precautions and Warnings
WARNING: Failure to use this product in the intended manner as described in the quick start guide
and instruction manual can result in damage to the product, property and/or cause serious injury. A
Radio Controlled (RC) multirotor aircraft, APV platform, drone, etc. is not a toy! If misused it can
cause serious bodily harm and damage to property.
WARNING: As the user of this product you are solely and wholly responsible for operating it in a manner
that does not endanger yourself and others or result in damage to the product or the property of others.
Keep your hands, face and other parts of your body away from the spinning propellers/rotor blades
and other moving parts at all times. Keep items that could impact or become entangled away from
the propellers/rotor blades including debris, parts, tools, loose clothing, etc.
Always operate your aircraft in open areas that are free from people, vehicles and other obstructions.
Never fly near or above crowds, airports or buildings.
To ensure proper operation and safe flight performance never attempt to operate your aircraft nearby
buildings or other obstructions that do not offer a clear view of the sky and can restrict GPS reception.
Do not attempt to operate your aircraft in areas with potential magnetic and/or radio interference
including areas nearby broadcast towers, power transmission stations, high voltage power lines, etc.
Always keep a safe distance in all directions around your aircraft to avoid collisions and/or injury. This
aircraft is controlled by a radio signal subject to interference from many sources outside your control.
Interference can cause momentary loss of control.
To ensure proper and safe operation of the automatic landing function in Return Home Mode you
must start the motors with the aircraft in an open space and achieve a proper GPS lock.
Do not attempt to operate your aircraft with any worn and/or damaged components, parts, etc.
including, but not limited to, damaged propellers/rotor blades, old batteries, etc.
Never operate your aircraft in poor or severe weather conditions including heavy winds, precipitation,
lightning, etc.
Always begin to operate your aircraft with a fully charged battery. Always land as soon as possible
after the first level low voltage battery warning or land immediately after the second level low voltage
battery warning.
Always operate your aircraft when the voltage of the battery in the transmitter/personal ground station is in
a safe range (as indicated by the LED status indicator light of the transmitter/personal ground station).
Always keep the aircraft in clear line of sight and under control, and keep the transmitter/personal
ground station powered on while the aircraft is powered on.
Always move the throttle control stick down fully and turn off the power in the event the propel-
lers/rotor blades come into contact with any objects.
Always allow components and parts to cool after use before touching them and flying again.
Always remove batteries after use and store/transport them per the corresponding guidelines.
Avoid water exposure to all electronic components, parts, etc. not specifically designed and protected
for use in water. Moisture causes damage to electronic components and parts.
Make sure the camera lens is clear and without stain, otherwise the visual positioning system may
not be able to position.
The visual positioning system can be used when the TYPHOON H PLUS is flying within 4 meters over
ground.
Visual Positioning System may fail to work in such environments: on the surface of water, in dark en-
vironment or over ground without clear texture. Ensure adequate light source and rich ground texture
in surrounding environment when using the visual positioning system.
When using the visual positioning system, stay it away from animals because it will issue ultrasound
and cause animal anxiety.

may not be able to position;
When the TYPHOON H PLUS is flying over surfaces of waters or transparent objects, the visual posi-
tioning system may not be able to position;
When the TYPHOON H PLUS is flying over surfaces of moving objects( such as above large crowds or
strong wind blowing over grass or shrubs), the visual positioning system may not be able to position;
When the TYPHOON H PLUS is flying over scenes which are rapidly changed or exposed to strong
light, the visual positioning system may not be able to position;
When the TYPHOON H PLUS is flying over surfaces which are particularly bright (light intensity
higher than 10,000 lux) or dark (light intensity lower than 10 lux), the visual positioning system may
not be able to position;
