Preparations for flying
a) Inserting batteries into the remote control
Remove the battery compartment cover on the back of the remote control. To do this, you must first remove the cover
screw and then push the lever in the direction of the arrow. Only then can the battery compartment lid can be lifted off.
Insert four AA/mignon batteries, observing the correct polarity. Observe the polarity markings in the battery compart-
ment. Then replace the battery compartment cover and secure it with the screw.

Operation of the transmitter with rechargeable batteries is not recommended due to the lower cell voltage
(battery = 1.5 V, rechargeable battery = 1.2 V) and the autodischarge of rechargeable batteries. Doing so
would result in a rapid message from the transmitter indicating the low state of charge of the transmitter
power supply.
The remote control only uses a small amount of electricity, therefore disposable batteries will last for signifi
-
cantly longer. We recommend using high-quality alkaline batteries.
