Important: Charge the battery shortly before
flying. While charging, place the battery on a
heat-resistant surface. Do not lay it on carpet
or upholstery while charging. If you charge the
battery 12– 48 hours before flying, charge again
for 30 minutes right before you fly. Stop charging
immediately when the battery becomes warm,
indicating it is fully charged.
Note: If the weather is cold, keep the battery
in a warm place until you are ready to fly.
A cold battery will have dramatically reduced
performance and the throttle will shut off early.

Note: Never charge a hot battery or a battery
that is already charged. Always discharge before
every charge. See Step 3 for instructions on
discharging.
See "Warnings and Safety" on page 25.
1. The charger supplied with the Firebird IIST
™
has a built-in timer. Plug the battery into the
charger, and then plug the charger into the
wall. The LED indicator should glow constantly.
After about 2.5 hours, the LED will turn off,
indicating the battery is charged and ready
to use.
2. To charge another battery, the charger must
first be unplugged from both the wall and the
battery to reset the timer.

Adult Supervision Required
WARNING: Keep everything clear of the propeller
and hold the plane securely. A moving propeller
can cause severe injury.
1. Turn the transmitter on.
2. Install the battery in the fuselage slot and plug
in the connector.
3. Move the transmitter's left stick all the way
down and hold for one second. This will arm
the motor.
4. Move the transmitter's left stick up. Since most
batteries come partially charged, the prop
should spin at high speed. (If the motor does
not run, proceed to charging the battery.)
5. In order to fully discharge the battery, run the
motor at high speed until it shuts off. If there is
not enough charge in the battery to power the
propeller, then proceed to Step 4.
6. When finished with the motor test, be sure to
disconnect the battery first then turn off the
transmitter.
