HOW TO CHARGE THE HELICOPTER

(There are 3 charging methods as shown below.)

The rechargeable battery is built in the fuselage of the helicopter. This battery should be

charged before you play with the helicopter.

Important:

Before using the helicopter the first time after purchase, charge the included battery twice in order to fully charge it. After that, if you use

the helicopter throughout the day, charge the battery only once before each use. Charge the battery twice every first time of the day

before using the helicopter.

1. Using the Eight D Alkaline Batteries

The alkaline batteries can be recharged 25 to 30 times, in normal use.

(1) Set the power switch of the helicopter to OFF and put the helicopter on the charger. Unless the power switch is set to OFF, the

charging nozzle cannot be inserted.

(3) Switch over the charging type selector switch to “Dx8” and press the charging start button of the charger. The red LED blinks

while charging is in progress.

complete. Remove the charging plug from the helicopter charging port.
