Recharging the LiPo rechargeable battery
Rechargeable batteries are to be removed from the toy before being charged. Make sure you only charge the
LiPo rechargeable battery supplied with the LiPo charging unit also supplied (USB cable and remote control).
If you try to charge the rechargeable battery with a different LiPo battery charger or any other battery charger,
this might cause serious damage. Please carefully read the previous chapter with warnings and guidelines
on the usage of rechargeable batteries before proceeding. Supply terminals are not to be short-circuited.
You can charge the rechargeable battery fitted in the Quadrocopter with its USB charging cable from a USB
port on a computer:
2a
Charging via computer:
• Rechargeable batteries are to be removed from the model before being charged.
• Connect the USB charging cable with the USB port of a computer. The LED on the USB charger
cable lights green indicating that the charger unit is correctly connected to the computer. If you plug
in a Quadrocopter with a discharged battery, the LED on the USB charging cable no longer lights up,
showing that the Quadrocopter battery is being charged. The USB charging cable and the charging
socket on the Quadrocopter are designed to make incorrect connection impossible.
• It takes about 60 minutes to recharge a discharged battery (but NOT a deep-discharged one). When
the battery is fully charged, the LED display on the USB charger cable lights up green again.
Note: when supplied, the lipo-battery is already partially charged. So the first charging cycle may
well take less time.
It is essential to follow the connection sequence given above!
Undo the plugged connection on the Quadrocopter when you are not using the Quadrocopter. Failure
to observe this precaution may cause battery damage!
2b
Insertion of the rechargeable batteries into the Quadrocopter
• Open the cover of the battery compartment with the aid of the enclosed screwdriver. Insert the battery.
Close the battery compartment.
• If the LED on the Quadrocopter flashes slowly, you must change the battery.
Inserting the batteries in the remote control
3
Open the battery compartment with a screwdriver and insert the batteries in the remote control. Please
keep in mind the correct polarity. Different types of batteries or new and used batteries are not to be
mixed. After having closed the compartment you can check all functions of the remote control with the help of
the power-switch on the front. With the power switch turned ON and functioning correctly, the top centre LED
on the remote control will light up red. If the LED control flashes slowly and an acoustic signal is heard, the
batteries in the controller must be changed.
Frequency bind between model and remote control
4
The Carrera RC Quadrocopter and the controller automatically link up renewed with every operational
start-up. If initially there are any problems with communication between the Carrera RC Quadrocopter
and the remote control, please carry out a new frequency bind.
• Connect the battery in the model.
• The LEDs on the quadrocopter now flash rhythmically.
• Switch on the controller at the power switch.
•
WARNING! Immediately after switching it on, place the Quadrocopter on a flat and level surface. The
gyro-system will then set itself automatically.
• Slide the left joystick, thus the gas lever, completely up and down again into the zero position.
• Allow the helicopter a few moments until the system is correctly initialised and is ready for operation.
• The binding has now been successfully established.
• The LED on the controller now lights continuously.

Choosing the flight area
8
When being prepared for the first flight you should choose a closed room which is as large as
possible without any persons or obstacles. Due to its size and controllability, experienced pilots
may be able to fly the Quadrocopter in relatively small rooms. For your first flights we strongly recom-
mend you choose a room with a minimum floor space of 5 x 5 metres and 2.40 metres in height. After
having trimmed your Quadrocopter for flight and made yourself familiar with the controller and its
functions you may start flying in smaller and less open environments.
To be used in domestic area (house and garden) only.
There must be no persons or objects such as
pillars between the controller and the Quadrocopter to obstruct direct connection.
Checklist for flight preparation
This checklist is not a substitute for the contents of the operating instructions. Although it can be used as a quick-
start-guide, we strongly recommend you first to read the operating instructions in detail before you proceed.
• Check the contents of the package.
• Charge the lipo-battery as described in the section “Recharging the LiPo rechargeable battery”.
• Fit 2 AA batteries in the controller, making sure their polarity is correct.
• Look for a suitable environment for flying.
• Slide the battery into the battery bay on the bottom of the Quadrocopter.

Looping function
WARNING! ONLY FOR EXPERIENCED PILOTS!
13a
If you press the “Looping Button”, then an acoustic signal sounds 5x times. As long as the acoustic
signal sounds, slide the right-hand joystick up, down, to the right or to the left. The Quadrocopter then
carries out the loop or roll in the respective direction. Before you do this, make sure you have ample room on
all sides (about 2.5 m – 8‘).
Beginner/Advanced switch
WARNING! 100 % IS ONLY FOR EXPERIENCED PILOTS!
13b
30% = beginner mode
Signal sounds once on switching over.
60% = medium mode
The quadrocopter reacts more sensitively than in 30 % mode. Signal sounds twice on switching over.
100% = Advanced Modus -> 3D Modus
The Quadrocopter reacts very sensitively to joystick movements. Signal sounds three times on switching over.
Headless Mode
13c
The headless mode helps beginners learn how to fly. Regardless of which direction the Quadrocopter is
rotated, the flight direction always corresponds exactly to the flight direction implemented on the control-
ler. Therefore a beginner no longer has to steer mirror-imaged when he flies e.g. to himself. If you press the
“Headless Mode Button”
, an acoustic signal sounds for as long as you are in the Headless mode. To
deactivate the Headless mode, press the button renewed.
Automatic control of altitude
14
The Quadrocopter will maintain the current flying altitude automatically as soon as you release the left-
hand joystick during the flight. The right-hand joystick can be used to fly forwards/backwards and left/
right at the same height. The left-hand joystick is used to circle on the spot with a left/right-hand movement.
Auto-Start & Fly to ≈1 m
15
Press the ‘Auto-start & fly to ≈1 m’ button on the controller, in order to start the motors and automatical-
ly fly up to the altitude of about 1 m . You are able to influence the direction of flight at any time during
the starting operation by means of moving the right joystick. The Quadrocopter will maintain itself in position
automatically as soon as the altitude of about 1 m has been reached. The flying height can be changed ma-
nually at any time by moving the left-hand joystick forwards (increase height) or backwards (reduce height).
Auto Landing
16
You can trigger the automatic landing function at any time by means of pressing the ‘Auto landing’ but-
ton. The speed of the rotors will reduce gradually as a result. You are able to influence the landing posi-
tion at any time during the landing procedure by means of moving the right-hand joystick. The motor will
switch itself off as soon as the Quadrocopter is on the ground.

Guidelines and warnings for the use of LiPo rechargeable batteries
• You have to charge the attached 3.7 V
380 mAh/1,41 Wh LiPo rechargeable battery in a safe place and
at a safe distance to flammable material.
• Never leave the battery unattended while it is charging
• After a flight, the rechargeable battery has to cool down to the ambient air temperature before charging it.
• You must always use the corresponding LiPo charging unit (USB cable / remote control). In case of
non-compliance with these directions there is a danger of fire resulting in a health risk and/or damage to
property. NEVER use any other battery charger.
• Should the rechargeable battery swell or deform while discharging or recharging, you have to immediately
stop charging or discharging the battery. Take the battery out as quickly and carefully as possible and place
it in a safe and open area offside any inflammable material and watch it for at least 15 minutes. In case you
continue charging or discharging a battery which has already started to swell or deform there is a danger of
fire! Even in case of slight deforming or ballooning the rechargeable battery has to be taken out of operation.
• Store the rechargeable battery at ambient temperature in a dry place.
•
Always recharge the battery after use to prevent its becoming deep discharged. After use, the bat-
tery must be allowed to cool down for at least 20 minutes before it can be fully recharged. Recharge
the battery occasionally (suggested every 2–3 months). Supply terminals are not to be short-circuit-
ed. Failure to treat the battery as described above can lead to its becoming defective. Never leave
the battery unattended while it is being charged.
• When transporting or temporarily storing the rechargeable battery the temperature should be between
5-50°C. If possible, do not store the battery or the model in a car and do not expose it to direct sunlight. In
case the battery is broiled it can be damaged or catch fire.
Note:
If the battery voltage/output is low you will recognise that a considerable trim and/or controlling is
necessary to avoid that the Quadrocopter starts trundling. This usually occurs before reaching a battery
voltage of 3 V and it is a good moment to end the flight.
