10. Operating the quadrocopter

Charging the flight battery

The flight battery can be charged using the included USB charging cable.

The charging cable in Figure 4 is wound up for photo-technical reasons. Before first use, remove the cable

tie and fully unwind the charging cable.

For charging, the quadrocopter must be switched off. The on/off switch is located on the back of the quadrocopter (see

also Figure 6, no. 1) and must be in the “OFF” position.

Carry out the charging process as follows:

Connect the reverse polarity-proof Micro USB connector

(1) of the charging cable to the charging socket (2) of the

quadrocopter.
The charging socket is marked with letters CHG (charge)

and is located on the front side (viewing direction of the

pilot figure) of the quadrocopter.

As soon as the USB plug on the charging cable (3) is con-

nected to a USB port on a computer/laptop or to a USB

charger plug, charging begins automatically.

Important!

The USB port output current must be at least

500 mA.

During charging, the red charging control LED lights up

inside the quadrocopter housing. The LED is best seen

from below through a rectangular opening (4) below the

charging socket.

When charging is complete and the flight battery is fully

charged, the red charging control LED goes out.
Disconnect the quadrocopter from the charging cable im-

mediately after charging and disconnect the USB plug of

the charging cable from the computer/laptop or plug-in

charger.

Caution!

Do not connect the USB cable to a USB hub without its own power supply (e.g. a USB port on a keyboard),

as the charging current is not sufficient in this case.

The operating system will not recognise any new hardware when the charging cable is connected, as the USB port

is only used for charging. Please note that the USB ports on computers/laptops are normally only active when the

computer/laptop is turned on.
We therefore recommend that you only connect the charging cable to a computer/laptop that is switched on.

Important!

Only charge the flight battery in the quadrocopter using the included charging cable. Never attempt to

charge the rechargeable battery in the quadrocopter with a different or unsuitable charger!
