Usage Guidelines, Warnings and Safety Precautions
• Always inspect batteries before charging.
• Never charge or use a Li-Po battery or pack that shows any damage or
disfigurement of any kind. Swelling is a sign of internal damage. Any breach
of protective cover, wiring or plugs is also reason to discontinue use. See the
manufacturer’s instructions for proper disposal of Li-Po batteries.
• Never charge near or in the area of any flammable or combustible materials.
• Always charge Li-Po batteries in or on fire resistant materials or containers.
• Do not store or charge Li-Po batteries with or around other batteries or battery
packs of any type, including other Li-Pos.
• Never leave the battery and charger unattended while in use. Improper charging or
discharging of Li-Po batteries could result in fire.
• Constantly monitor the temperature of the battery pack while charging. If the
battery becomes hot to the touch discontinue charging immediately. Disconnect
the battery from the charger and observe it in a safe place for approximately 15
minutes.
• If at any time you see a battery starting to balloon or swell up, discontinue
charging immediately. Disconnect the battery from the charger and observe it in a
safe place for approximately 15 minutes.
• Do not allow children to charge Li-Po battery packs.
• This charger is designed for 1-cell Lithium-Polymer batteries ONLY. It MUST NOT be
used to charge other size Li-Po batteries, Ni-MH or Ni-Cd battery packs.
• Never attempt to dismantle the charger.
• Always disconnect the charger from the power supply after charging the battery.
• Disposal of Li-Po batteries requires special care. Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions for safe disposal.
Installing the Transmitter Batteries
Install four AA batteries in the transmitter. Check for proper operation of the
transmitter by switching the power switch on (to the left). The LED light at the top of
the transmitter should begin to glow solid red while the transmitter beeps.
Installing the Flight Battery
Once the Li-Po battery has been fully charged, it’s ready to be installed in the
helicopter.
Install the battery in the helicopter by sliding it into the battery mounting supports/
slots just below the main gears. Slide the battery into the slots with the label facing
downward and the connector oriented toward the back of the helicopter.
Note: Be sure to slide the battery into the slots until the endcap of the
battery comes into contact with the rear battery support. This will allow
you to achieve the correct center of gravity for the best overall flight
performance.
Important: In the event of a hard landing or crash, the flight battery may move
slightly. Check the flight battery and ensure it is installed properly
prior to flying. Flying the helicopter with the battery slightly out
of position changes the Center of Gravity and may affect flight
characteristics.
