Remote Control parts
Charging the helicopter
Loading batteries into the Remote Control
1.
The battery compartment is located on the rear of the remote control. Using a precision
screwdriver, undo the screw holding the battery compartment cover in place and remove
it to reveal the battery compartment.
2.
Insert 6 AA alkaline batteries into the battery compartment, ensuring each battery
is oriented the correct way for polarity. The correct way is shown inside the battery
compartment and also in the picture below.
3.
Replace the battery compartment cover, securing it with the screw removed in step 1.
Note
: If the helicopter has trouble lifting off
the ground or does not fl y as high as normal,
it means the battery is running low and needs
recharging.
Before you can take fl ight, you need to charge the battery in the helicopter using the supplied
power adaptor.

Open the charging lead compartment located on the front of the
remote control, and extend the charging lead. Turn the remote control ON. Plug the other end into
the charging socket on the bottom of the helicopter. The indicator LED on the remote control will
be
orange/red

go out
when the helicopter is charged.
Charge via USB:
Plug the USB end of the charging cable into a USB port on your computer,
or to a stand-alone USB charger. Then, connect the other end to the helicopter. Never connect
the helicopter to a USB port supplying anything other than 5V @ 500mA. There is an LED in the
USB plug, which
will go out when the helicopter is charging
. The LED will light up when charging
is complete, or the helicopter isn’t attached to the cable.
•
The helicopter must be turned OFF to charge.
•
The helicopter will take 40-50 minutes to charge. Don’t over-charge the helicopter
