Twister Hawk

1. Connect the charger to your power source. The 'POWER' LED will  ash red.

2. Plug the 3-pin connector on your Li-po battery into the socket in the right side of the charger.

The green LED will light and the red LED will glow solid red.

  3. When the battery is fully charged the green LED goes out. Disconnect the battery from the charger.

4. Disconnect the power source from the charger. Your Li-po battery is ready for use.

C. FITTING THE FLIGHT BATTERY

1. Slide the charged battery pack into the rear part of the battery holder taking care to slide the

battery beneath the two rear retainers  only - but do not connect the power lead yet!

2. Push the battery forward to engage it securely beneath the front pair of retainers too.

Ensure the battery is slid all the way home and retained with velcro fastening (attached to the battery and
battery holder).
