Frequency bind between model and remote control
4
The Carrera RC helicopter and the remote control are frequency bound at purchase. Should there occur
any problems with the communication between the Carrera RC helicopter and the remote control at the
beginning, please carry out a new frequency bind.
• Switch on the model at the ON/OFF switch.
• The LED in the helicopter now flashes in rhythmically-accelerating sequence.
• Switch on the controller at the power switch. While connecting, the controller emits a signal tone.
•
WARNING! Immediately after switching it on, place the helicopter a flat and level surface. The gy-
ro-system will then set itself automatically.
• Slide the left joystick, thus the gas lever, completely up and down again into the zero position.
• Allow the helicopter a few moments until the system is correctly initialised and is ready for operation.
• The binding has now been successfully established.
• The LED on the controller now lights continuously.
Checklist for flight preparation
This checklist does not replace the contents of the operating instructions. Although it can be used as a quick-
start-guide we strongly advise to first read the operating instructions in detail before you proceed.
• Check the contents of the package
• Connect the charging unit to the source of power.
• Charge the lipo-battery as described in the section “Charging the lipo-battery”.
• Fit two AA batteries in the controller, making sure their polarity is correct.
• Look for a suitable environment for flying
• Link as described in
4
.
• Repeat the above points as required, if you wish to fly more helicopters at the same time.
• Check the control system
• Make yourself familiar with the control system
• Trim the helicopter as necessary as described under “Controlling the helicopter”, so that when hovering the
helicopter no longer moves from the spot, until given a command by the controller.

• Press the button
to start the helicopter (Figure

).
• The helicopter is now ready to be flown.
• If the helicopter displays no functions, retry the above binding procedure.
• Fly the model
• Land the model
•
Switch the model off at the ON/OFF switch
• Always switch off the remote control last

Controlling the helicopter
8
In case you don´t know the control functions of your Carrera RC helicopter yet, please take some min-
utes before the first flight in or to make yourself familiar with them. The descriptions left or right refer to
the view out of the cockpit (pilote´s view). Push the throttle up to increase the rotational speed of the main
rotor blades. Increase the rotational speed of the main rotor blades and the model will start to ascend.
If you push down the throttle and thus reduce the rotational speed of the main rotor blades the helicopter will
descend. When the model has lifted off the ground you can get it into stationary hovering without abrupt as-
cending or descending by carefully moving the throttle upwards and downwards. The right-hand joystick can
be used, without using the left-hand joystick, to fly forwards/backwards or in a circle at the same flying height.
9
Move the right lever (tail) to the left and the helicopter’s nose turns (yaws) round the main rotor’s axis in
a circle to the left. Move the right lever (tail) to the right and the helicopter’s nose turns (yaws) round the
main rotor’s axis in a circle to the right. Use the trimmer for tail until you have reached a stable neutral position
of the helicopter when hovering, without moving the right lever (tail).
10
The forward-/backward lever controls the helicopter´s pitch forward and backward. When shifting the
lever forward the nose of the helicopter will move downwards and the helicopter will fly forward. When
shifting the forward-/backward lever backward the helicopter will move backwards and the helicopter will fly
backward.
After having made yourself familiar with the main control functions and having chosen an appropriate area for
flying the helicopter, you can start the first flight.
Choosing the flight area
11
When being prepared for the first flight you should choose a closed room without any persons
or obstacles which is as big as possible. Due to the size and controllability of the helicopter
experienced pilotes may be able to fly the helicopter in relatively small rooms. For your first flights we
strongly recommend to choose a room with a minimum floor space of 5 x 5 metres and 2.40 metres of
height. After having trimmed your helicopter for flight and having made yourself familiar with the
controlling and its functions you may start flying in smaller and less open environments.
This toy is intended to be used in domestic area (house and garden) only.
Automatic control of altitude
12
The Helicopter will maintain the current flying altitude automatically as soon as you release the left-hand
joystick during the flight. The right-hand joystick can be used, without using the left-hand joystick, to fly
forwards/backwards or in a circle at the same flying height.
Auto-Start & Fly to
≈
1 m
13
Press the ‘Auto-start & fly to ≈1 m’ button on the controller, in order to start the motors and automatical-
ly fly up to the altitude of about 1 m . You are able to influence the direction of flight at any time during
the starting operation by means of moving the right joystick. The helicopter will maintain itself in position au-
tomatically as soon as the altitude of about 1 m has been reached.
Auto Landing
14
You can trigger the automatic landing function at any time by means of pressing the ‘Auto landing’ but-
ton. The speed of the rotors will reduce gradually as a result. You are able to influence the landing posi-
tion at any time during the landing procedure by means of moving the right-hand joystick. The motor will
switch itself off as soon as the helicopter is on the ground.
Trimming the helicopter
15
Auto-trimming
1. Place the helicopter on a horizontal surface.
2. Link the helicopter with the controller as described in “Linking the model with the controller”.
3. Slide the gas lever and the lever for forward / back simultaneously into the right lower corner.
The LED on the helicopter flashes on briefly and then lights up continuously. The signalling tone
will sound once.
4. The neutral setting is completed.
16
When hovering and without you moving the lever for circling on the spot, if the helicopter rotates to left
or right, proceed as follows: If the helicopter rotates quickly or slowly to the left around its own axis, press
the trimmer for rotation below left in steps to the right. If the helicopter rotates to the right, press the trimmer
for rotation in steps to the left.
Troubleshooting
Problem:
Remote control does not work.
Cause:
The ON/OFF-power switch is turned “OFF”.
Solution:
Turn the ON/OFF-power switch “ON”.
Cause:
The batteries have been wrongly inserted.
Solution:
Check if the batteries have been correctly inserted.
Cause:
The batteries do not have enough power.
Solution:
Insert new batteries.
Problem:
The helicopter cannot be controlled with the remote control
Cause:
The power switch on the reomote control is turned “OFF”.
Solution:
First turn the power switch on the remote control “ON”.
Cause:
The remote control is possibly not correctly frequency bound with the receiver on the helicopter.
Solution:
Link as described in
4
.
Problem:
The rotor blades do not rotate.
Cause:
The power switch on the model or the controller is at “OFF”
Solution:
Turn the ON/OFF-power switch “ON”.
Cause:
The rechargeable battery is too weak or has run out of power.
Solution:
Charge the battery (see chapter “Charging the battery”).
Problem:
The helicopter does not lift.
Cause:
The rotor blades rotate too slowly.
Solution:
Push the throttle up.
Cause:
The battery´s power is not sufficient.
Solution:
Charge the battery (see chapter “Charging the battery”).
Problem:
During flight, the helicopter loses speed and height without any obvious reason.
Cause:
The battery is too weak.
Solution:
Charge the battery (see chapter “Charging the battery”).
Problem:
The helicopter lands too quickly.
Cause:
Loss of throttle control.
Solution:
Push the throttle down slowly.
Cause:
Throttle has been pushed down too quickly.
