Ameta S20 Lite Beginner Drone

Safety Guidelines

For your safety, please follow the rules and safety guidelines whether you're a beginner or an expert at flying drones.

According to the relevant laws and regulations in the US, all drones must be registered, except those that weigh 0.55 pounds or less (less than 250 grams) and are flown exclusively under the Exception for Recreational Flyers. Please log in to the website of https://faadronezone-access.faa.gov/#/ to complete the registration. Make sure to observe local laws and regulations about the take-off weight. URANHUB will not be responsible for any losses, penalties, and injuries caused by illegal flights if the buyer does not register timely.

To meet the electromagnetic requirements of aviation on the radio station, it is forbidden to fly drones within 6.21 miles (10km) on both sides of the runway centerline, or within 12.43 miles (20km) of both ends of the runway. It is also prohibited to fly a drone on the route of an airline. In areas prohibited by the relevant authority or department of your country, stop using all flying models and unmanned quadrotors.

Please download the B4UFLY App from Google Play or App Store, which provides real-time information about airspace restrictions and other flying requirements based on your GPS location.

Beginning September 16, 2023, all drone pilots who are required to register their UAS must operate in accordance with the rule on Remote ID.

Flight Safety

Please fly the drone indoors or in a windless open area. The maximum flight height is limited to 50 m (164 ft), and the maximum flight distance is limited to 200m (656 ft). Before your first flight, please read the User Manual and Quick Guide carefully. For detailed operations, refer to the Flight Control section.

1. For the safety of your property, keep the drone within your visual range during flight.
2. The drone is made of materials including metal, fiber, plastic, and electronic components. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and keep them away from any heat sources. Excessive heat can cause deformation and damage.
3. The drone consists of various precision electronic and mechanical parts. Therefore, make sure that moisture and water do not enter the drone to prevent mechanical or electronic component failures that could lead to accidents.
4. The performance of the drone and battery can be affected by environmental factors such as air density and temperature. Exercise caution when flying at altitudes above 1000 m (3281 ft) above sea level, as the performance of the battery and drone may be reduced.
5. To avoid interference between the drone and other wireless devices, please turn off other wireless devices while using the drone.
6. Avoid flying in areas where magnetic or radio interference may occur, such as near Wi-Fi hotspots, routers, Bluetooth devices, high-voltage power lines, high-voltage power transmission stations, mobile base stations, or broadcast towers. Flying in areas where interference can disrupt communication between the drone and remote may adversely affect flight direction and positioning accuracy, possibly resulting in loss of control. Interference can also cause errors in the video downlink connection.
7. Be cautious around children. Avoid placing fingers in the rotating propellers.
8. Inside the packaging are small accessories. Do not swallow them. Seek immediate medical help if accidentally ingested.
9. Secure valuable items during indoor flights to prevent accidental damage due to operational errors.
10. Battery Handling:
    • Non-rechargeable batteries are not to be recharged.
    • Rechargeable batteries are only to be charged under adult supervision.
    • Different types of batteries or new and used batteries are not to be mixed.
    • Batteries are to be inserted with the correct polarity (+ and –).
    • Exhausted batteries are to be removed from the toy.
    • The supply terminals are not to be short-circuited.
11. Do not touch the rotating rotor, avoid loose clothing or hair that could be caught in the rotor, do not fly near the face. Advice to adult supervisors to teach children how to safely fly and control the toy.
12. Use this toy with caution. Adult supervision is required while children are using the drone, and children should learn flying techniques to avoid collisions with people or objects. Do not approach the drone during startup. Avoid touching the rotating propellers and keep loose clothing or hair away. Adults should read the safety guidelines and manual before guiding children. Keep the manual for future reference.
13. Rotor blades that are designed to be replaceable shall be accompanied by instructions that clearly indicate the steps necessary to remove and securely replace the rotor blades.

Battery Safety

• RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE.
• DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS.
• BATTERY MUST BE RECYCLED OR DISPOSED OF PROPERLY ♻️.
• Under no circumstances should the battery touch any liquids. Avoid using the battery in rainy or wet conditions, as it may catch fire or explode unexpectedly.

• Batteries that are swollen, leaking, or damaged are strictly forbidden.
• It is recommended to use the battery between -10°C and 40°C; overheating may lead to a fire or explosion. A battery's performance can be adversely affected by extremely low temperatures.
• Do not insert or puncture the battery with any sharp object.
• Battery liquid is highly corrosive, so stay away if it leaks. If skin or eyes are contacted, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical attention.
• Please keep the battery out of children's reach. Immediately seek medical attention if a child swallows parts.
• After being dropped or impacted, the battery should not be used again.
• Place the battery away from heat sources, such as a car in direct sunlight or on a hot day, a fire or a stove.
• To prevent a battery from entering an over-discharged state, avoid storing it for extended periods of time once it has been fully discharged. If a battery is over-discharged, the battery cell will be damaged and unable to be recharged.
