Important information concerning Lithium Polymer re-
chargeable batteries
Lithium-Polymer (LiPo) rechargeable batteries are sig-
nifi cantly more sensitive than traditional alkali- or NiMH-re-
chargeable batteries normally used with radio control units.
Therefore the instructions and warnings have to be observed
in detail. In case of improper use of LiPo rechargeable batter-
ies there is a danger of fi re. Always follow the manufacturers´
instructions if you dispose of LiPo rechargeable batteries.
Regulations on disposal for waste electrical and elec-
tronic equipment (WEEE)
This symbol, showing refuse bins with
a cross through them, denotes that
empty batteries, rechargeable batter-
ies, button cells, recharge able battery
packs, equipment batteries, disused
electrical equipment, etc. should not be disposed of in do-
mestic refuse, as they are harmful to the environment and
health. Please help to preserve environment and health and
talk to your children about the correct disposal of used bat-
teries and disused electrical equipment. Batteries and dis-
used electrical equipment should be handed in to the usual
collection points where they can be properly recycled.
Do not mix dissimilar battery types or employ new and used
batteries together. Empty batteries should be removed from
the product. Do not recharge non-rechargeable batteries
due to risk of explosion.

supervision.
Never leave the battery unattended while it is charg-
ing Exhausted batteries are to be removed from the toy.
Rechargeable batteries should be removed from the prod-
uct before charging. Supply terminal are not to be short-
circuited. Only use the batteries recommended or equivalent

If in regular use the charger must be examined for damage
to the cord, plug, covers and all other parts. If any signs of
damage are found the charger may only be used again after
repair work has been completed. The external fl exible cable
or cord of this charger cannot be replaced: If the cord is dam-
aged the charger shall be scrapped.

Guidelines and warnings for the use of LiPo recharge-
able batteries
• You have to charge the attached 3.7 V 1000 mAh / 3.7 Wh
LiPo rechargeable battery in a safe place and at a safe
distance to fl ammable material.
• Never leave the battery unattended while it is charging
• After a fl ight, the rechargeable battery has to cool down to
the ambient air temperature before charging it.
• You must always use the corresponding LiPo charging unit
(USB cable / remote control). In case of non-compliance
with these directions there is a danger of fi re resulting in
a health risk and/or damage to property. NEVER use any
other battery charger.
• Should the rechargeable battery swell or deform while dis-
charging or recharging, you have to immediately stop charg-
ing or discharging the battery. Take the battery out as quickly
and carefully as possible and place it in a safe and open area
off side any infl ammable material and watch it for at least
15 minutes. In case you continue charging or discharging a
battery which has already started to swell or deform there is
a danger of fi re! Even in case of slight deforming or balloon-
ing the rechargeable battery has to be taken out of operation.
• Store the rechargeable battery at ambient temperature in a
dry place.
• Always recharge the battery immediately after use to
prevent its becoming deep discharged. Please make
sure to allow a pause of about 20 minutes between fi n-
ishing the fl ight and recharging the battery. Recharge
the battery occasionally (suggested every 2-3 months).
Failure to treat the battery as described above can lead
to its becoming defective.
• When transporting or temporarily storing the rechargeable
battery the temperature should be between 5-50°C. If pos-
sible, do not store the battery or the model in a car and do
not expose it to direct sunlight. In case the battery is broiled
it can be damaged or catch fi re.
Note: If the battery voltage/output is low you will recognise
that a considerable trim and/or controlling is necessary to
avoid that the Quadrocopter starts trundling. This usually
occurs before reaching a battery voltage of 3 V and it is a
good moment to end the fl ight.

Recharging the LiPo rechargeable
battery
Make sure you only charge the LiPo rechargeable battery
supplied with the LiPo charging unit also supplied (USB ca-
ble and remote control). If you try to charge the rechargeable
battery with a diff erent LiPo battery charger or any other bat-
tery charger, this might cause serious damage. Please care-
fully read the previous chapter with warnings and guidelines
on the usage of rechargeable batteries before proceeding.
Supply terminals are not to be short-circuited.
You can charge the rechargeable battery fi tted in the Quad-
rocopter with its USB charging cable from a USB port on a
computer:
2a
Charging via computer:
• Rechargeable batteries are to be removed
from the model before being charged.
• Connect the USB charging cable with the USB
port of a computer. The LED on the USB charger
cable lights green indicating that the charger unit
is correctly connected to the computer. If you
plug in a Quadrocopter with a discharged battery,
the LED on the USB charging cable no longer
lights up, showing that the Quadrocopter battery
is being charged. The USB charging cable and
the charging socket on the Quadrocopter are de-
signed to make incorrect connection impossible.
• It takes about 60 minutes to recharge a dis-
charged battery (but NOT a deep-discharged
one). When the battery is fully charged, the
LED display on the USB charger cable lights up
green again.
2b
Push the battery into the compartment and plug
it into the socket there. After use: Undo the
plugged connection on the Quadrocopter
when you are not using the Quadrocopter.
Failure to observe this precaution may cause
battery damage!
Note: when supplied, the lipo-battery is already partially
charged. So the fi rst charging cycle may well take less time.
It is essential to follow the connection sequence given
above!
Disconnect the charger cable plug if you are not
going to be using the Quadrocopter. Failure to observe
this precaution may cause battery damage!
