• Place the model on a fire-resistant surface for charging (e.g. a plate). Keep a distance to flammable
objects (use USB extension cable if required).
• As the charger and the rechargeable LiPo flight battery both heat up during the charging procedure, it is
necessary to ensure sufficient ventilation. Never cover the charger or the quadrocopter!
•
Never leave LiPo batteries unattended while charging them.
•
Remove the quadrocopter from the charger when it is fully charged.
•
The charger is intended for dry indoor use only. The charger and the quadrocopter must not become
damp or wet.
• There is the risk of fire or explosion by the rechargeable battery in case of error. LiPo batteries specifi
-
cally react very strongly at moisture and oxygen due to the chemicals contained in them! Do not expose
the charger or quadrocopter to high/low temperatures or to direct solar radiation.
8. Start Preparations
a) Inserting the Batteries in the Transmitter
Remove the battery compartment lid on the back of the transmitter. For this, you need to push the lid in the direction
of the arrow (1).
Insert two micro/AAA size batteries with the correct polarity (2). Observe the corresponding icons in the battery com-
partment. Insert the battery compartment lid again (3).
Operation of the transmitter with batteries is not recommended because of the lower cell voltage (battery = 1.5 V,
rechargeable battery = 1.2 V) and the self-discharge of rechargeable batteries. Quick feedback of the
transmitter on low charge status of the transmitter power supply would result.
Since the transmitter requires very little power, batteries will keep much longer. We recommend the use of
high-quality alkaline batteries.
