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 proceed-
ing. 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:
6a
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 charg-
er 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 Quadrocop-
ter battery is being charged. The USB charging
cable and the charging socket on the Quadro-
copter are designed to make incorrect connec-
tion impossible.
• It takes about 120 minutes to recharge a dis-
charged 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 al-
ready partially charged. So the first charging
cycle may well take less time.
It is essential to follow the connection se-
quence given above!
Undo the plugged connection on the Quad-
rocopter when you are not using the Quadro-
copter. Failure to observe this precaution may
cause battery damage!

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
7
Open the battery compartment with a screwdriv-
er and insert the batteries in the remote control.
Please keep in mind the correct polarity. Differ-
ent 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 function-
ing correctly, the top centre LED on the remote
control will light up red. If the LED control flash-
es slowly and an acoustic signal is heard, the
batteries in the controller must be changed.
Frequency bind between model
and remote control

The Carrera RC Quadrocopter and the control-
ler 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 con-
trol, please carry out a new frequency bind.
• Connect the battery in the model.
• Switch the model ON at the ON/OFF switch.
•
WARNING! Immediately after switching it
on, place the Quadrocopter on a flat and
level surface. The gyro-system will then
set itself automatically.
• The LEDs on the quadrocopter now flash
rhythmically.
• Switch on the controller at the ON/OFF switch.
• Push the left-hand joystick, i.e., the throttle
control, completely upwards and then com-
pletely downwards.
• The binding has now been successfully es-
tablished.
• The LED on the controller now lights contin-
uously.
• After approx. 5½ minutes, the controller
switches off. Please repeat the link proce-
dure for renewed use.
