GETTING STARTED

Once you have unpackaged your Quad Racer 280 FPV drone, there are a few steps 

to complete before you are ready to fly. You need to charge both the power battery 

and the video monitor battery, attach the propellers, mount the video monitor 

and set the channel on both the VTX and video monitor.  The following section will 

guide you through the processes. Please follow the directions carefully to ensure a 

successful first flight. 

CHARGING THE BATTERIES

Power Battery

The Quad Racer 280 includes a 3 Cell 2000 mAh power battery and the QRc3 AC 

powered charger for charging it.  Please use the following procedures in order to 

safely and properly charge your power battery. 

1.  Plug the power cord into th charger and plug the other end into a 100-240V 

wall socket. All LEDs will flash green and red indicating the charger is ready 

to charge.

2.  Insert the battery’s balance lead into the  3S charging port on the front of the 

charger.  After a couple of seconds, the charger will detect the voltage in the 

battery and commence charging. 

3.  When charging, all 3 LEDs should be illuminated red. Once all 3 LEDs are 

illuminated green, the charge process is complete. 

NOTE: If you unplug the battery while charging, the charger stops automatically.
