4. DO NOT y in low visibility condions such as in foggy or rainy weather to avoid accidents caused by poor
visibility or electronic equipment failures.
5. DO NOT y in strong winds and excessively high altude environment. Strong winds could aect the po-
sioning and atude control funconality of the mulcopter. Excessive high altude operaons could re-
duce the performance of the mulcopter.
