10. Operation of the Model Helicopter
a) Charging the Flight Battery
The flight battery can either be recharged via the
transmitter or a computer with USB connection. The
connection is established with the included USB cable.
Charging via USB cable:
To avoid unnecessary strain on the batteries in the
transmitter, you may also charge the flight battery using
the included USB cable.
Connect the discharged flight battery (1) to the plug
connector of the USB charging cable (2) protected
against polarity reversal. Do not use any force when
plugging in the battery!
Connect the USB plug (3) of the charging cable to a
computer or notebook.
A red charging LED (4) in the USB plug or the charging
cable is lit during the charging process.
If the red control LED in the USB plug goes out, the charging process is completed and the charging cable can be
removed from the flight battery and computer.
For photo-technical reasons, the USB charging cable is illustrated in the wound-up state. Before first use,
the cable retainer should be opened and the cable unwound.
Place the flight battery on a fire-proof underground when charging and do not charge the battery
unsupervised.
Do not connect the charging cable to a USB hub without a separate mains adapter (e.g. a keyboard USB
port, etc.), because these will not provide sufficient current for charging.
The operating system does not recognize any new hardware after connection, because the USB port is
only used for power supply.
Please observe that the USB ports of your computer/notebook are usually only active when the computer/
notebook is switched on.
Therefore, we recommend to only connect the charging cable to a computer/notebook that is switched on.
Charging via transmitter:
The USB charge socket protected against polarity reversal (see figure 1, item 5) is located at the transmitter bottom.
The flight battery is charged by the power of the inserted batteries.
