It is important that you only charge the included 11.1V 1200mAh 3-cell Li-Po Battery Pack with the included 3-
cell 11.1V Li-Po Balance Charger. Your battery pack is equipped with special Charge Protection Circuitry and a
Balance Charge Lead with connector that is only compatible with this charger. Attempting to charge the pack
using another Li-Po charger or non Li-Po compatible charger could result in serious damage. Please
familiarize yourself thoroughly with the warnings and guidelines before continuing.
Note
: The Li-Po battery pack included with your EQ.45 will arrive partially charged. For this reason the initial charge
may only take approximately one hour.
The included 3-cell 11.1V Li-Po Balance Charger will charge a near fully discharged (not over-discharged) 11.1V
1200mAh 3-cell Li-Po Battery Pack in approximately 2.0–2.5 hours. In some cases the charge time may be shorter
depending on the actual amount of capacity left in the pack after a flight.
NEVER charge the battery unattended.
The charger requires up to 1.5 Amps of 11.5–15 Volt DC input power that can be supplied from a small 12V gel cell or
car battery. Input power for the charger can also be supplied through the use of an AC to DC adapter/power supply for
convenient charging anywhere an AC outlet is available.
NEVER attempt to power the charger from an AC outlet
without the use of a proper AC to DC adapter/power supply.
Safety precautions
The Failure to follow these safety precautions may result in severe injury to yourself and others.
Keep your face and body as well as all spectators away from the plane of rotation of the rotors whenever the battery is
connected.
Keep these items away from the rotors: loose clothing. Shirt sleeves. ties. scarfs. long hair or loose objects such as
pencils or screwdrivers that may fall out of shirt or jacket pockets into the rotors .
The spinning blades of a model helicopter can cause serious injury. When choosing a flying site for your EQ.45, stay
clear of buildings. trees and power lines. AVOID flying in or near crowded areas. DO NOT fly close to people. children
or pets . Maintain a safe pilot-to-helicopter distance while flying.

Your EQ.45 RTF should not be considered a toy ,but rather a sophisticated, working model that functions very
much like a full-size helicopter. Because of its performance capabilities, the EQ.45, if not assembled and
operated correctly, could possibly cause injury to yourself or spectators and damage to property.
9
You must check the operation of the model before
every
flight to insure that all equipment is operating and
that the model has remained structurally sound. Be sure to check linkages or other connectors often and
replace them if they show any signs of wear or fatigue.

If you are not an experienced pilot or have not flown this type of model before, we recommend that you get the
assistance of an experienced pilot in your club for your first flights. lf you're not a member of a club, your local
hobby shop has information about clubs in your area whose membership includes experienced pilots.
We, as the manufacturer, provide you with a top quality, thoroughly tested helicopter and instructions, but ultimately the
quality and flyability of your finished model depends on how you build it; therefore, we cannot in any way guarantee the
performance of your completed model, and no representations are expressed or implied as to the performance or
safety of your completed model.
