10. Operating the quadrocopter

a) Charging the quadrocopter rechargeable battery

The quadrocopter rechargeable 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.

Charging:

Connect the USB plug of the charging cable (1) to a USB

port of a computer/laptop or a USB charger plug.
Connect the reverse polarity protected micro plug (2) of

the charging cable to the connection plug (3) of the quad-

rocopter rechargeable battery.
Charging starts automatically and the charging control

LED on the USB plug (4) goes on.

When charging is complete and the flight battery is fully

charged, the red LED of the USB plug goes out.
Disconnect the charging cable from the quadrocopter re-

chargeable battery immediately after charging and unplug

the USB plug of the charging cable from the computer/

laptop or charger plug.

Attention!

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 current is not sufficient

to charge the quadrocopter rechargeable bat-

tery. The USB port output current must be at

least 500 mA.

The operating system will not recognise any new hard-

ware when the charging cable is connected, as the USB

port is only used to charge the rechargeable quadrocopter

battery.
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 quadrocopter rechargeable 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!

Never recharge the rechargeable battery unattended!
