• Always recharge the battery immediately after use to prevent
its becoming deep discharged. Please make sure to allow a
pause of about 20 minutes between finishing the flight and
recharging the battery. Recharge the battery occasionally
(suggested every 2-3 months). Failure to treat the battery as
described above can lead to its becoming defective.
• When transporting or temporarily storing the rechargeable
battery the temperature should be between 5-50°C. If pos-
sible, 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.

Recharging the LiPo rechargeable
battery
Make sure you only charge the LiPo rechargeable battery
supplied with the LiPo charging unit also supplied (USB ca-
ble and remote control). If you try to charge the rechargeable
battery with a different LiPo battery charger or any other bat-
tery charger, this might cause serious damage. Please care-
fully 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 Quadrocop-
ter 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 bat-
tery, the LED on the USB charging cable lights
up red and shows that the Quadrocopter battery
is being charged. The USB charging cable and
the charging socket on the Quadrocopter are de-
signed to make incorrect connection impossible.
• It takes about 60 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 already partially
charged. So the first charging cycle may well take less time.
It is essential to follow the connection sequence given
above! If you have the charger cable only connected to
the quadrocopter, and not to a source of electricity, a
green LED display indicates that there is still power in
the battery. The green LED display does not necessarily
indicate the battery is still adequately charged.
Undo the plugged connection on the Quadrocopter
when you are not using the Quadrocopter. Failure to ob-
serve this precaution may cause battery damage!
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. 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 con-
trol will light up red.
When the control LED flashes rapidly, the batter-
ies in the controller must be changed.
Frequency bind between model
and remote control
4
The Carrera RC Quadrocopter and the remote
control are frequency bound at purchase. If ini-
tially 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 light up continu-
ously.
• Switch on the controller at the power switch.
• Push the left-hand joystick, i.e. the throttle lever,
right to the top, then fully downwards into the
zero position.
• The LEDs on the quadrocopter now flash rhyth-
mically. The binding has now been success-
fully established. The LED on the controller now
lights continuously.
•
WARNING! Immediately after switching it on,
place the Quadrocopter on a flat and level
surface. The gyro-system will then set itself
automatically.

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 controllabil-
ity, experienced pilots may be able to fly the
Quadrocopter in relatively small rooms. For
your first flights we strongly recommend you
choose a room with a minimum floor space of
3 x 3 metres and 2.40 metres in height. After
having trimmed your Quadrocopter for flight
and made yourself familiar with the control-
ler and its functions you may start flying in
smaller and less open environments. Please
note that in spite of calm conditions near the
ground, it can be very windy a little further from
the ground. If this instruction is ignored, the
Quadrocopter may suffer irreparable damage.
Checklist for flight preparation
This checklist is not a substitute for the contents of the oper-
ating 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.
• Connect the charging unit to the source of power.
• Charge the lipo-battery as described in the section
“Recharging the LiPo rechargeable battery”.
• Fit 6 AA batteries in the controller, making sure their polar-
ity is correct.
• Look for a suitable environment for flying.
• Slide the battery into the battery bay on the bottom of the
Quadrocopter.

• Connect the battery in the model.
•
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 flash red.
• Switch on the controller at the ON/OFF switch.
Be sure to
check the Beginner-Advanced switch (
13b
).
Push the
left-hand joystick, i.e. the throttle lever, right to the top, then
fully downwards into the zero position.
• Allow the Quadrocopter a few moments until the system is
correctly initialised and is ready for operation. The LED in
the Quadrocopter now lights continuously. The LED on the
controller now lights continuously.
• Repeat the above points as required, if you wish to fly more
Quadrocopters at the same time.
• Check the control system.
• Make yourself familiar with the control system.
• Trim the Quadrocopter as necessary as described under
16
14

, so that when hovering it no longer moves
from the spot without a command from the controller.
• The Quadrocopter is now ready to be flown.
• If the Quadrocopter displays no functions, retry the above
binding procedure.
• Fly the model.
• Land the model.
•
Disconnect the battery plug connection.
• Always switch off the remote control last.
