SECTION 3: INSTALLING THE TRANSMITTER BATTERIES
Install 6 fresh AA Alkaline batteries into the transmitter, being careful to
make sure that the polarity is correct for each battery. After double-checking
that the batteries are installed correctly, reinstall the battery cover, making
sure that's it's firmly seated into place.
Move the On/Off switch into the "ON" position. Both the red and green
lights on the front of the transmitter should illuminate. The red light
indicates that the power is on and the green light indicates that the voltage
is sufficient to fly and/or charge the Lithium flight battery. If the green light
is weak or even off, the batteries must be replaced with new, fresh ones
before flying again or charging the Lithium flight battery. If neither light is
on, double-check the polarity of the batteries.
SECTION 4: INSTALLING THE LANDING GEAR
Install the landing gear wire by
simply pushing it into the slot in
the bottom of the Micro Flyer.
SECTION 5: CHARGING THE FLIGHT BATTERY
●
The flight battery charger is built into the transmitter. To charge the flight battery, make sure that the On/Off switch is in the "OFF" position,
then carefully snap the flight battery into the back of the transmitter, making sure that it's firmly seated. Move the On/Off switch to the
"CHARGE" position. The indicator light on the back of the transmitter will illuminate indicating that the flight battery is charging.
●
While the indicator light on the back of the transmitter is illuminated, the flight battery is being charged. The indicator light will go out after
the charging process is complete - approximately 40 minutes to 1 hour, depending on how discharged the flight battery is. If the flight battery
is not completely discharged, the charge time will be shorter.
CHARGING SUGGESTIONS AND WARNINGS
●
An extra Lithium flight battery can be purchased separately and charged with the transmitter while you are flying. Snap the second flight
battery into the back of the transmitter and move the On/Off switch to the "CHARGE" position. When you are ready to fly the Micro Flyer,
move the switch to the "ON" position. Now you can fly the Micro Flyer using the first flight battery, while at the same time your extra flight
battery is charging. If the flight battery is not done charging when you're finished flying, move the switch back to the "CHARGE" position until
the charging process has finished.

●
After 2 -3 flights, the flight performance of the Micro Flyer will improve
even more. This is because the flight battery will have "cycled" and
therefore produce more power.
●
The flight battery is a Lithium-type battery. Do not use this battery for any
other use than flying the Micro Flyer.
●
Do not recharge the flight battery if it is hot. Always allow the flight battery
to cool before recharging it.
●
Always use the transmitter to recharge the flight battery. Never use any
other type of charger to charge the flight battery.
●
When the batteries in the transmitter are getting low, the charging
process will take much, much longer than normal. In this case, replace the
transmitter batteries with new, fresh ones.
●
Do not solder or apply direct heat to the battery.
●
Do not leave the battery in the hot sun or in a hot car.
●
Do not use the battery if it appears swollen or deformed.
