Charging the Batteries 

 
Make sure the Nomadio React battery pack is properly installed and the React is switched 
off.  Batteries other than the Nomadio React battery pack cannot be charged by the 
React, and attempting to do so will void the warranty.  Batteries other than the Nomadio 
React battery pack must be removed prior to connecting over USB for any reason, even 
when just using RC Desktop. 
Connect the USB cables and insert the USB cable into a PC or powered USB hub. 
The React will sense a low battery, and will begin charging automatically.  To manually 

begin charging a battery, hit the “+” key. 

The LCD status will display “Charging”, and the timer at the bottom of the screen will 

begin.  Charging a fully depleted battery should take between 4 and 6 hours. 

When the React senses that a battery is fully charged, the LCD status will display “Charge 

Done” and will stop charging. 

It is safe to manually stop the charging process, by hitting the “-“ key. 
If charging fails for any reason, the LCD status will display “Charge Fault”.  If this occurs, 

verify that: 

You are using the Nomadio React battery pack. 
The battery pack is properly installed. 
The USB cables are connected properly.
