4 CHARGING THE MODEL

Attention: The battery and motor must cool down for 15 to 30 minutes before charging and alter every flight. Otherwise they can be damaged. The charging process must be constantly monitored. Always ensure that the charging process takes place on a tireproof surface in a fire-resistant environment.

• Open the battery compartment (1D). Unplug the battery from the model (4A), and switch off the remote control. Remove the battery from the model (4B). Plug the USB charger into an open USB port (4C). The status 1FD on the charger begins to illuminate.
• Plug the white battery plug into the socket of the charger. Make sure that the polarity is correct in the process (AD). The battery must be gently inserted into the charging socket - DO NOT USE FORCE. If the battery is not correctly inserted into the charging socket, the battery may become damaged and, under certain circumstances, cause injury.
  The red LED on the USB charger goes out when the charging process starts.
• The charging process lasts approx. 90 minutes and must be continuously monitored. The red LED on the charger lights up as soon as the charging process is finished.
• Disconnect the battery from the charger and disconnect the charger from the USB port once charging is complete.

The model can fly for approx. 5-7 minutes after a charge time of approx. 90 minutes.

Warning notice: The battery does not normally heat up while charging. If it should become warm or even hot and/or changes to the surface begin to appear, immediately discontinue the charging process!

5 START PREPARATION

The model must be switched on first in order to connect it to the remote control. Open the battery cover (1D). Insert the battery into the battery compartment of the model, plug the battery plug into the socket in the model, and close the battery compartment. Do not use force and ensure tThen set the ON/OFF switch on the model (1E) to the "ON" position.

Before switching on the remote control, the control for thrust and rotation (2B) must point down (5B). Press the ON/OFF switch (2J) on the remote control to switch it on. Alter approx. 3 seconds, the model activates and is ready for use.

Once you have finished flying, switch the model off first and then the remote control. Unplug the battery from the model and remove the battery from the model.

6 TRIM ADJUSTMENT OF THE CONTROL

The model must be switched on first in order to connect it to the remote control. Its adjustment is simple, but it requires some patience and a feel for it. Please observe the following instructions precisely: Carefully move the thrust control up and raise the helicopter approximately 0.5 to 1 metre in altitude.

6A If the model automatically moves slowly or quickly to the left or right ... gradually press the trim for sideways flight (21) in the opposite direction.

6B If the model moves by itself slowly or quickly around its own axis ... press the trim adjustment for rotation (2A) incrementally in the opposite direction.

6C If the model automatically moves slowly or quickly forwards or backwards ... gradually press the forwards/backwards trim (2H) in the opposite direction.

7 FLIGHT CONTROL

Note: Only minimal corrections of the controls are necessary for a smooth flying behavior of the model. The direction indication applies when the model is viewed from behind. If the model is flying forwards towards the pilot, it must be moved in the opposite direction.
7A Take off or increase altitude by carefully moving the control for thrust and rotation (2B) forward.
7B Land or decrease altitude by moving the control for thrust and rotation (2B) backward.
7C Fly forward by moving the controller for forward/backward and sideways flight (26) carefully forward.
7D Fly backward by moving the controller for forward/backward and sideways flight (2G) carefully backward.
7E Fly to the left by moving the controller for forward/backward and sideways flight (26) carefully to the left.
7F Hy to the right by moving the controller for forward/backward and sideways flight (26) carefully to the right.
76 Turn the model around to the left by moving the control for thrust and rotation (2B) to the left.
7H Turn model around to the right by moving the control for thrust and rotation (2B) to the right.

2C LED button: The LEDs on the model can be switched on and off by pressing this button.

2E Turbo switch: When the model is switched on, only the lowest speed level is activated. Pressing the top button activates the second level and two short beeps can be heard. Pressing the bottom button switches back to the first speed level.

2F Flip button: Each time the Flip button is pressed, the model carries out a flip maneuver in the direction in which the control for forwards/backwards and sideways movement (26) is moved immediately afterwards. Only activate this function if there is enough space available and the model is flying at a height of at least 2 meters.

2B Button for Headless Mode: Headless mode supports beginners in the initial stages. Regardless of where the quadrotor turns, the direction of flight always corresponds exactly to the direction specified with the control for forwards/backwards and sideways movement (26). An example: If the model were to be turned 180^ and flown towards the operator, the operator would have to "convert" the forwards/backwards and sideways movement accordingly. This is no longer necessary if headless mode is activated, as the internal processor always converts the control directions automatically. Pressing the 2B button again deactivates the mode

Attention: The model, notes the forwards direction during each switch-on. This means that the operator must not turn when controlling the model, as this would change the concept of 'forwards' and 'right/left' in relation to the model. If the operator changes position and wants to use headless mode - or if the control direction is no longer correct due to a collision, the model must be restarted.

8 LANDING SKID

A pair of landing skids is included with the mode. Insert them facing towards the front and rear in the left and right holes on the underside of the model and carefully press them in.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE FLYING

GENERAL FLYING TIPS:

• Always place the model on a level surface. An inclined surface can, under certain circumstances, have a negative impact on the starting behavior of the model.
• Always operate the controls slowly and with a gentle touch.
• Always maintain visual contact with the model and do not look at the remote control!
• Move the thrust control down again somewhat as soon as the model lifts off from the ground. Maintain flying altitude by adjusting the thrust controller.
• If the model lowers, move the thrust control slightly upward again.
• if the model climbs, move the thrust control down slightly.
  To fly along a curve, tapping the directional controller very slightly in the respective direction often suffices. There is a general tendency during preliminary attempts at flight to operate the model's controls too aggressively Always operate the controls slowly and carefully. Never fast and fitfully.
• Beginners should first master trimming before attempting to master the thrust controller. The model does not necessarily have to fly straight at the beginning - initially, it is more important to maintain a constant height of approximately one meter above the ground by repeatedly tapping the thrust control. Only then should the pilot practice steering (the model left and right).

BATTERY STATUS:

The battery is empty if the model begins to lose thrust. Land in order to avoid crashing.

9 CHANGING THE PROPELLERS

If the rotor blades on the model are damaged, they must be replaced. To do so, proceed as follows:
9A Screw out the screw in the center of the rotor blade in counter-clockwise direction.
98 Hold the faulty rotor blade with two fingers and pull it off carefully to the top.
9C Place the new rotor blade on the shaft and screw in the fixing screw carefully in clockwise direction. Caution: Do not tighten the screw too tightly, as this could damage the thread.
9D When mounting the rotor blade, please note that there are right-turning (A) and left-turning (B) rotor blades.
