the Carrera RC helicopter and the
remote control at the beginning, please
carry out a new frequency bind.
• Press the right joystick on the remote control from above and switch on the remote control.
• Insert the battery into the helicopter.
• The control LED starts to flash slowly and an acoustic signal is sounded.
•
Push the left-hand joystick on the controller up to the stop at the top and down to the
stop at the bottom twice.
• The control LED lights up permanently again and indicates that the frequency bind
has been finished.

Checklist for flight preparation
Preparing the first flight
Note: Push the battery right to the stop in the battery compartment, that is, until the
front end of the battery makes contact with the front of the mounting. This will guaran-
tee that the centre of gravity is ideally located and that the flying performance is at its
optimum. To switch on the helicopter, connect the plugs for the battery and the heli-
copter. To switch off, disconnect the plugged connection.
Inserting the LiPo rechargeable battery
in the helicopter
Inserting the batteries
in the remote control
Please make sure that you charge the provided 7.4 V 1000 mAh LiPo rechargeable
battery only with the provided
8.4 V 1000 mA LiPo battery charger. Rechargeable
batteries are to be removed from the toy before being charged. In case you try to
charge the rechargeable battery with a different LiPo battery charger or any other bat-
tery charger, this might cause serious damages. Please carefully read the previous
chapter about warnings and guidelines on the usage of rechargeable batteries before
proceeding. Supply terminals are not to be short-circuited.
Please proceed as follows when charging the rechargeable battery with the appropri-
ate battery charger:
• Connect the battery charger to the power socket. The green LED on the power
supply unit indicates that the charger has correctly been connected to the power
socket or that the rechargeable battery has been fully recharged.
•
Connect the rechargeable battery to the charger. The connecting section or the con-
nection between battery and charger are specially designed to avoid reverse polarity.
• Has the discharged battery been inserted correctly, the red LED on the charger will
light up to indicate that the battery is now being recharged.
• It takes approximately 1 hour to recharge a discharged battery (not exhaustively
discharged). As soon as the battery is completely charged the LED on the charger
lights up green.
Note: When delivered, the LiPo rechargeable battery is partly charged. Therefore the
first charging might take slightly shorter.
Open the battery compartment with a
screwdriver and insert the batteries in
the remote control. Please keep in mind
the correct polarity. Different types of
batteries or new and used batteries are
not to be mixed. After having closed the
compartment you can check all func-
tions of the remote control with the help
of the power-switch on the front. With
the power-switch turned ON and proper
functioning, the top center LED on the
remote control will light up red.
When the control LED flashes rapidly,
the batteries in the controller must be
changed.
After the LiPo battery has been fully
charged it can be inserted in the heli-
copter. Therefore push the battery from
behind into the battery holder at the
bottom side of the helicopter´s body.
Please make sure that the plug faces
towards the front of the helicopter.

can be used as a quick-start-guide we strongly advise to first read the operating
instructions in detail before you proceed.
• Check the contents of the package
• Connect the charger to the power socket
• Charge the LiPo battery
• Insert four AA batteries in the controller
• Insert the fully charged LiPo battery in the helicopter
