CHOKING HAZARD
: Small parts. NOT for children
under 3 years.

Helicopter Battery Warnings:
The helicopter has a built in Lithium Polymer battery. This battery is light and powerful, as its
chemistry is based on lithium, a light and extremely volatile metal.
•
The battery pack in the helicopter will become warm if charged for too long and could
become damaged. Do not overcharge the battery in the helicopter.
•
Charge battery in an isolated, controlled environment. Keep far away from fl ammable
materials.
•
Never leave the helicopter unattended while charging.
•
The battery pack in the helicopter becomes warm after use. We recommend you allow 30
minutes for it cool before re-charging the helicopter.
•
Never completely exhaust the battery. When the helicopter starts to lose power, turn it off
and charge it as soon as practicable.
•
DO NOT dispose of the batteries in the remote control or the helicopter in fi re as they may
explode.
•
The battery must be disposed of responsibly.
•
DO NOT expose to direct sunlight: there is a risk that the battery may overheat, ignite and/
or explode.
•
DO NOT disassemble, modify, heat, or short circuit the battery. Don’t place it in fi re or leave
in hot places or near heat sources.
•
DO NOT drop the battery or subject it to strong impacts.
•
DO NOT allow the battery to get wet.
•
Only charge the battery from the supplied charging equipment. Using other charging
equipment will void your warranty, may damage the battery and poses a risk of fi re or
explosion.
•
Use the battery only in this helicopter, and use only this battery in the helicopter.
•
Read these instructions carefully and thoroughly, and obey all guidelines herein.
•
In the unlikely event of leakage or explosion, use sand or a chemical fi re extinguisher to
extinguish the batteries.
If your high school chemistry teacher ever demonstrated what happens when sodium is placed
in water (“bam” is the technical description of the outcome) then you’re somewhat familiar
with how volatile lithium is – except that lithium is lighter (and therefore packs a bigger bang
per gram) than sodium is! Basically, obey all the guidelines and respect the power of lithium!

Charging the helicopter
Charging the helicopter
Before you can take fl ight, you need to charge the battery in the helicopter using the supplied
power adaptor. You cannot charge the chopper using the USB connector.
• Ensure the helicopter is turned OFF before attempting to charge it.
If left on, it won’t charge.
•
Plug the charging plug into the charging port underneath the helicopter marked “CHA”
and the other end into a mains power outlet.
•
The light on the power adaptor will glow RED when charging. It will glow GREEN when the
helicopter is fully charged or when it is not charging.
• It will take 70-80 minutes to charge. Don’t over-charge the helicopter by leaving it
connected to a charger for more than ninety (90) minutes.

Fitting the antenna to the remote control
•
Install the antenna by screwing it in clockwise to the mount at the top of the remote
control.
•
Extend the antenna fully when fl ying 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.
