POLARITYBEFOREMAKINGTHECONNECTIONSbyorienting/aligningthewireleadsofthe

batteryandadapterleadsothey’re‘redtored’and‘blacktoblack’.You’llalsoneedto

connector.Andalthoughtheconnectorsare‘keyed’tominimizetheriskofareversepolarity

connection,ifyouforcethemitispossibletomakeconnectionwiththeincorrectpolarity

potentiallycausingdamagetothebatteryand/orcharger.Whentheconnectorsareproperly

 Whenthehelicopterand/orbatteryareconnectedtothechargersecurelyandwiththe

properpolaritytheLEDindicatorwillglowsolidred(thereisanLEDindicatorforeachcharge

port).ThebatterywillbecharginganytimetheLEDindicatorisglowingsolidred.

 

 Itwilltakeapproximately1.0–1.5hourstofullychargeamostlyorfullydischarged(notover‐

discharged)batteryfromasuitablepowersource.Andwhenthebatteryisfullychargedthe

LEDindicatorwillstopglowingentirely.WhentheLEDindicatorisnolongerglowingyoucan

disconnectthehelicopterand/orbatteryfromthecharger/adaptedleadasitisnowfully

chargedandreadyforuse.



NOTE:Whenusingbothchargeportsatthesametimetochargetwo(2)fullydischarged(notover‐

discharged)batteries,thechargetimemayincreasebyapproximately30minutesperbattery(or

more)dependingontheamountofpoweravailablefromyoursource.



NOTE:TheLiPoflightbatteryincludedwithyourmodelwillarrivepartiallycharged.Forthisreason

theinitialchargemayonlytakeapproximately30–45minutes.



NOTE:It’ssaferandbetterforthelongevityofthebatterytostoreitonlypartiallycharged

forany

lengthoftime.Storingthebatteryatapproximately50%charge(whichisapproximately3.85Vper

cell)istypicallybest,however,itwilltakesomecarefulmanagementofthechargetimeandtheuse

ofavoltmetertoachievethisvoltage.Ifyouhavetheequipmentandskills

toachievethe50%

chargelevelforstorageitisrecommended.Ifnot,simplybesuretonotstorethebatteryfully

chargedwheneverpossible.Infact,aslongasthebatterywillbestoredatapproximatelyroom

temperatureandfornomorethanafewweeksbeforethenextuse,itmaybebesttostorethe

batteryinthedischargedstateafterthelastflight(aslongasthebatterywasnotover‐dischargedon

thelastflight).
