The Battery Charger (EFLC1000) included with your
helicopter has been designed to safely charge the Li-Po
battery.
CAUTION
:
All instructions and warnings must be
followed exactly. Mishandling of Li-Po batteries can
result in a fire, personal injury and/or property damage.
• NEVER LEAVE THE POWER SUPPLY, CHARGER AND
BATTERY UNATTENDED DURING USE.
• NEVER CHARGE BATTERIES OVERNIGHT.
• By handling, charging or using the included
Li-Po battery, you assume all risks associated
with lithium batteries.
• If at any time the battery begins to balloon or
swell, discontinue use immediately. If charging or
discharging, discontinue and disconnect. Continuing to
use, charge or discharge a battery that is ballooning or
swelling can result in fire.
• Always store the battery at room temperature in a dry
area for best results.
• Always transport or temporarily store the battery in a
temperature range of 40–120º F (5–49° C). Do not store
battery or model in a car or direct sunlight. If stored in a
hot car, the battery can be damaged or even catch fire.
• Always charge batteries away from
flammable materials.
• Always inspect the battery before charging.
• Always disconnect the battery after charging, and let
the charger cool between charges.
• Always constantly monitor the temperature of the
battery pack while charging.
• ONLY USE A CHARGER SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO
CHARGE LI-PO BATTERIES. Failure to charge the battery
with a compatible charger may cause a fire resulting in
personal injury and/or property damage.
• Never discharge Li-Po cells to below 3V under load.
• Never cover warning labels with hook and loop strips.
• Never leave charging batteries unattended.
• Never charge batteries outside recommended levels.
• Never charge damaged batteries.
• Never attempt to dismantle or alter the charger.
• Never allow minors to charge battery packs.
• Never charge batteries in extremely hot or cold places
(recommended between 40–120° F or (5–49° C) or
place in direct sunlight.
Charging Warnings
E-flite
®
1-Cell 3.7V Rate 0.3A DC Li-Po Charger
(EFLC1000) Instructions:
1. Charge only batteries that are cool to the touch and are
not damaged. Look at the battery to make sure it is not
damaged e.g., swollen, bent, broken or punctured.
2. Remove the cover on the bottom of the charger and
install four of the included AA batteries, noting proper
polarity. Replace the cover after the AA batteries are
installed.
3. Slide the battery into the slot on the charger. The end
cap of the battery is specifically designed to allow the
battery to fit into the slot one way (usually with the label
on the battery facing outward) to prevent reverse polar-
ity connection. However, check for proper alignment
and polarity before proceeding to the next step.
4. Gently press the battery and its connector into the
charge jack/connector located at the bottom of the slot
in the charger.
5. When you make the connection successfully, the LED
on the charger turns solid red, indicating charging has
begun.
6. Charging a fully
discharged (not
over-discharged)
150mAh battery
takes approxi-
mately 20–30
minutes. As the
battery nears full
charge, the LED
begins to blink.
7. When the battery
is fully charged,
the LED blinks
approximately
every 20 seconds or goes out entirely.
If the LED stays on when the battery is removed, the
AA batteries in the charger are low
.
8. Always remove the battery from the charger immedi-
ately upon completion of charging.
NOTICE:
Only use the included charger. For DC charger
operation (AA batteries): only use alkaline AA batteries to
power the charger. Do not use rechargable AA batteries.
CAUTION:
NEVER attempt to power the charger from an AC outlet without the use of a proper AC to DC
adapter/power supply.
WARNING:
For AC operation, only use an
E-flite
6V power supply with this charger. DO NOT use a 12V power
supply or property damage and injury could occur.
WARNING
:
For optional AC operation, only use an E-flite 6V power supply with this charger.
DO NOT use a 12V power supply or property damage and injury could occur.
