Recharging and Battery Replacement
Ensure the helicopter is turned OFF before attempting to charge it.
If left on, it won’t charge.
Check the orientation of the power cable carefully when connecting it to the helicopter. If it feels
tough to insert or you need to use force, it’s probably upside down!
It’ll take 80 - 90 minutes to charge. Don’t over-charge the helicopter, and don’t leave it connected to a
charger for more than two hours.
Charging the Helicopter:
The helicopter comes with a
DC Power Adapter
and a
Charger
.
To charge the helicopter:
•
Plug the DC output pin of the power adapter into the charger.
•
Connect the charging lead which protrudes from the base of the helicopter to the charger.
•
Plug the DC power adapter into a wall socket.
•
The
green LED
will come on while
the helicopter is charging, and go
out once charging is complete, or
the helicopter is not connected.
•
The
red LED
will be on whenever
the charger is supplied power by the
power adapter.
Replacing Batteries in the Controller:
The battery compartment is located on the rear of the
controller.
•
Slide open the battery compartment.
•
Insert four batteries, as shown to the right.
•
Only use alkaline batteries. Don’t mix old and new
batteries.
•
For more information on battery useage and safety,
consult page 6.
Pairing the Remote
Before you can fly, you need to ‘pair’ the helicopter and remote together. To pair
the remote:
•
Turn on both the helicopter and the remote.
•
Quickly move the left stick to maximum (top) and then to minimum
(bottom).
•
The helicopter will now be paired to that controller.
Don’t use multiple helicopters which utilize the same radio frequency control signal
simultaneously: the control signals can interfere with one another, often with suprising
results. This helicopter uses a frequency of 27MHz.
Exercise caution around any other RF generating equipment.
