Pairing the remote
Before you can take fl ight, you need to pair the remote control to the helicopter. Don’t use
multiple helicopters which utilize the same radio frequency control signal simultaneously: the
control signals can interfere with one another, often with surprising results. This helicopter
uses a frequency of 27MHz. Exercise caution around any other RF generating equipment.
1.
Make sure you are away from any other helicopters/controllers or that all other units are
OFF.
2.
Turn ON the helicopter and the remote control. Place the helicopter on the ground.
3.
Push the left stick (throttle) completely forwards to full throttle and then back down to
its starting position.
4.
If you gently push the throttle forward again, the helicopter should respond and the
rotors will start spinning. The helicopter will now be paired to that remote control.
Be careful when testing the pairing since once paired, pushing the throttle to full again will
cause the rotor blades to spin at full speed. The helicopter is likely to fl y off at high speed
causing unexpected and possibly dangerous results.
1.
Place the helicopter on the ground with the tail facing away from you. Make sure you are
away from crowds, animals, obstructions or valuables that could break (like that urn with
the ashes in it).
2.
Turn ON the helicopter.
3.
Make sure the throttle on the controller is at minimum.
4.
Extend the antenna fully.
5.
Turn on the controller.
6.
Pair the controller to the helicopter if not already done.
7.
You are now ready to fl y. Check the guides on the following pages on how to control
your helicopter.
Pairing the remote control
Step 1
: Push the throttle up
to full throttle.
Step 2
: Pull the throttle
back down to zero throttle.
WARNING
: Do NOT fl y near eyes or face.

Warnings
Battery Warnings:
•
Requires 6 x 1.5V AA Alkaline batteries (not included).
•
Rechargeable batteries are NOT recommended.
•
Replacing batteries must be undertaken by a competent adult.
•
Follow the polarity diagram ( + / - ) in the battery compartment.
•
Promptly remove dead/exhausted batteries from the controller.
•
Dispose of used batteries responsibly.
•
DO NOT incinerate used batteries.
•
DO NOT dispose of batteries in fi re, as batteries may explode or leak.
•
DO NOT mix new and old batteries or types of batteries (i.e. alkaline/standard).
•
DO NOT recharge non-rechargeable batteries.
•
DO NOT short circuit the supply terminals.
Precautions and Maintenance
• Never
fl y near your face. Keep rotor away from your fi ngers, hair, eyes and other body parts.
•
Always lift off from a fl at surface.
•
Never hold the fl ying helicopter in your hand when lifting off .
•
DO NOT launch helicopter near people or animals.
•
Stay away from obstacles and electrical hazards.
•
To clean, wipe gently with a damp cloth. Avoid use of solvents, as these can damage the
plastic components.
•
Keep the helicopter and remote away from heat sources.
•
Do not submerge the helicopter or remote control in water. This will damage the electronic
components, and could pose a severe risk to the built-in battery.
• Turn
off controller/charger and helicopter while not in use. Remove batteries from the
controller when not in use.
•
Parental guidance is required for younger users.
•
Keep your helicopter close and within line of sight – if the line-of-sight to the controller is
lost, you may lose control of the helicopter.
•
For best performance, use only fresh Alkaline AA batteries in the controller.
•
Read and obey all warnings and safety guidelines in this manual.
•
The controller and charger are specifi cally designed to charge this helicopter. Never use
any other charging equipment!
Special Notice to Adults:
•
The helicopter is NOT intended for use by children under fourteen (14) years old, unless
directly supervised by a competent adult at all times.
•
The helicopter must only be used with the supplied controller/charger.
•
Regularly examine the helicopter and controller for any damage to the plugs, enclosure,
rotors, battery covers and other parts. In the event of any damage, neither the helicopter
nor controller should be used until the damage is completely repaired.
DANGER
: Never insert any sharp objects, pins or
screws into the helicopter as this may puncture the
internal battery!
