[!] Always hold the connectors when disconnecting the vehicle recharge cord. NEVER pull the
cord to disconnect; this may cause it to break.
[!] Your vehicle and Field Charger may not work their best in overly cold or overly hot conditions.
The suggested temperature range for operation is between 40°F/4°C and 95°F/35°C.
NOTE: DO NOT charge the vehicle until just before flying. If the vehicle is left in a charged
condition for a time before operating, it may not be able to fly (the rotor will turn, but the vehicle
will not lift off). If this happens, you will need to discharge the vehicle battery and then recharge it.
It’s a quick and simple process.
a. Make sure to follow all the safety information in this manual during the discharge/recharge
process. In particular, make sure to maintain the minimum 10’/3m distance from the vehicle, and
make sure weather conditions are calm and clear.
b. With the transmitter OFF, turn the vehicle ON. Set the vehicle upright on the ground. Make
sure the rotor blades are approximately 180° apart.
c. Turn the transmitter ON. Slowly push the transmitter control stick up, just until the rotor begins
to spin. Adjust the control stick until the rotor is spinning slowly and steadily. Keep the rotor
spinning (you may need to adjust the control stick position to maintain rotor speed) until it slows
down noticeably. At that point the vehicle battery will be discharged. Push the control stick all the
way down to activate the stop feature.
[!] If the vehicle starts to lift off during the discharge process, IMMEDIATELY push the control
stick all the way down to activate the stop feature.
d. Turn the transmitter OFF, then turn the vehicle OFF.
e. Recharge the vehicle battery as described in Section IV. You should now be able to fly your
vehicle normally (please see Sections VI and VII).
V. TRANSMITTER CONTROL
Your transmitter features a joystick flight control system that’s easy to use – and challenging to
master.
[!] Before operating your vehicle for the first time, familiarize yourself with the “feel” of the control
stick (with the transmitter turned OFF). Move it through its range of motion, up and down. That
way you’ll know how far to push down to activate the stop feature (see Number 3 below).
