Important information concerning Lithium Polymer
rechargeable batteries
Lithium-Polymer (LiPo) rechargeable batteries are sig-
nificantly more sensitive than traditional alkali- or NiMH-re-
chargeable batteries normally used with radio control units.
Therefore the instructions and warnings have to be observed
in detail. In case of improper use of LiPo rechargeable batter-
ies there is a danger of fire. Always follow the manufacturers´
instructions if you dispose of LiPo rechargeable batteries.
Regulations on disposal for waste electrical and elec-
tronic equipment (WEEE)
This symbol, showing refuse bins with
a cross through them, denotes that
empty batteries, rechargeable batter-
ies, button cells, recharge able battery
packs, equipment batteries, disused
electrical equipment, etc. should not be disposed of in do-
mestic refuse, as they are harmful to the environment and
health. Please help to preserve environment and health and
talk to your children about the correct disposal of used bat-
teries and disused electrical equipment. Batteries and dis-
used electrical equipment should be handed in to the usual
collection points where they can be properly recycled.
Do not mix dissimilar battery types or employ new and used
batteries together. Empty batteries should be removed from
the product. Do not attempt to recharge non-rechargeable
batteries.
WARNING!
Rechargeable batteries should only be charged under adult
supervision. Never leave the battery unattended while it is
charging.
Exhausted batteries are to be removed from the
toy. Rechargeable batteries should be removed from the prod-
uct before charging. Supply terminal are not to be short-circuit-
ed. Only use the batteries recommended or equivalent types.
If in regular use the charger must be examined for damage
to the cord, plug, covers and all other parts. If any signs of
damage are found the charger may only be used again after
repair work has been completed.
The toy is only to be connected to Class II equipment bear-
ing the following symbol.
FCC statement

Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, in-
cluding interference that may cause undesired operation.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the
party responsible for compliance could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.
Guidelines and warnings for the use of LiPo recharge-
able batteries
• You have to charge the attached 3.7 V 140 mAh 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 immediately after use to
prevent its becoming deep discharged. Please make
sure to allow a pause of about 20 minutes between fin-
ishing 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.
The rechargeable battery fitted in the Quadrocopter with its
USB charging cable can be charged either from a USB port
on a computer or directly from the remote control:
2
• Connect the USB charging cable with the USB
port of a computer
2a
or of the controller
2b
.
The LED on the USB charger cable lights green
indicating that the charger unit is correctly con-
nected to the computer or the controller. 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 de-
signed to make incorrect connection impossible.
• It takes about 30 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!
While charging, the power switch must be in the “OFF”
position.
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
The Carrera RC Quadrocopter and the remote control are
frequency bound at purchase. If initially there are any prob-
lems with communication between the Carrera RC Quad-
rocopter and the remote control, please carry out a new
frequency bind.
4a
• Switch the model ON at the ON/OFF switch.
• The LEDs on the quadrocopter light up continuously.
• 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.
