■
Charging the Nickel Metal Hydride Battery (Ni-MH)
Charging time is about 10 ~ 12 hours. As this charger does not have an automatic cut off function, do not charge for more than 15 hours.
(Charging for more than 15 hours is dangerous). A fully charged battery will produce about 5 minutes of flight time.
■
Assembling the Safety Bar
An Ni-MH battery is subject to wear & tear. Flight times may vary depending on battery charge, battery age and external temperature.
If flight times become very short, change to a new Ni-MH battery.
