General Safety Precautions
Precautions for the use of the 2.4 GHz band
VBar Control operates in the 2.4 GHz band which is in common use with e. g. industry,
science and medical (ISM) applications. It is widely used for microwave ovens, short-range
wireless communications like wi, bluetooth, cordless appliances like headphones, or am-
ateur radio. Excessive use of the 2.4 GHz band (like in urban areas) may degrade the
control response and range of VBar Control. If you experience adverse radio interference,
immediately cease using VBar Control.
At public places like airports, hospitals, racetracks special limitations may apply.
Transmission is impeded or blocked by objects in the line of sight to the model, degrading
control response or even causing the model go go out of control. Always operate a radio
controlled model where it can be safely visually controlled.
Handling the VBar Control
Check that all parts and manuals are provided. Turn on VBar Control and check that the
battery is charged properly. We recommend that you connect your VBar Control to the wall
charger or to a personal computer using the USB cable to fully charge the battery. We also
recommend to install the VBar Control Manager to connect to the internet and upgrade the
VBar Control to the latest software.
If there are any items or manuals missing, please immediately contact your local dealer or
the service department of Mikado Model Helicopters.
⚠ Warning Never use VBar Control on rainy days. Electronics may malfunction if they get wet.
⚠ Warning Never disassemble or modify VBar Control beyond what is described in this manual.
Heat generation or even re or an electric shock may cause injury or physical damage.
⚠ Warning The power unit (engine/motor/gears) as well as rotating parts (rotor head and blades, tail
rotor head and blades etc.) can start up at high speeds, causing danger.
Always turn on VBar Control rst, and make sure the throttle stick/switch is set to the lowest/motor
off position, then turn on the receiver/model. Make sure all fail safe precautions regarding an elec-
tric speed controller are met. Only connect a ight pack when sticks and switches are set to lowest/
motor off position. When turning off power, always turn off the receiver/model rst, disconnect the
ight pack rst. As a safety precaution, VBar control can only be turned off after the connected
VBar controller and receiver have been turned off.
⚠ Warning Pay full attention when setting up an electronic speed controller (ESC) or an IC engine.
Injury or physical damage can be caused.
Do not start an IC engine with the throttle set to a high rpm position. Injury or physical damage can
be caused.
