Guidelines and warnings for the use of LiPo rechargeable batteries
- You have to charge the attached 3.7 V 380 mAh/1,41 Wh LiPo rechargeable battery in a safe place and at a safe distance to flammable material. • Never leave the battery unattended while it is charging
- After a flight, 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 fire resulting in health risks and/or damage to property. NEVER use any other battery charger.
- Should the rechargeable battery swell or deform while discharging or recharging, you have to immediately stop charging or discharging the battery. Take the battery out as quickly and carefully as possible and place it in a safe and open area offside any inflammable material and watch it for at least 15 minutes. In case you continue charging or discharging a battery that has already started to swell or deform there is a danger of fire! Even in case of slight deforming or ballooning 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 after use to prevent its from becoming deep discharged. After use, the battery must be allowed to cool down for at least 20 minutes before it can be fully recharged. Recharge the battery occasionally (suggested every 2-3 months). Supply terminals are not to be short-circuited. Failure to treat the battery as described above can lead to its becoming defective. Never leave the battery unattended while it is being charged.
- When transporting or temporarily storing the rechargeable battery the temperature should be between 5-50°C. If possible, 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 fire.
Note: If the battery voltage/output is low you will recognize that a considerable trim and/or control is necessary to avoid the Quadrocopter starting trundling. This usually occurs before reaching a battery voltage of 3 V and it is a good moment to end the flight.

Recharging the LiPo rechargeable battery
Rechargeable batteries are to be removed from the toy before being charged.
Make sure you only charge the LiPo rechargeable battery supplied with the LiPo
charging unit also supplied (USB cable and remote control). If you try to
charge the rechargeable battery with a different LiPo battery charger or any
other battery charger, this might cause serious damage. Please carefully 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 fitted in the Quadrocopter 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 designed to make incorrect connection impossible.
- It takes about 60 minutes to recharge a discharged 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.
Note: when supplied, the lipo-battery is already partially charged. So
the first charging cycle may well take less time.
It is essential to follow the connection sequence given above! Undo the
plugged connection on the Quadrocopter when you are not using the
Quadrocopter. Failure to observe this precaution may cause battery damage!
2b Insertion of the rechargeable batteries into the Quadrocopter
- Open the cover of the battery compartment with the aid of the enclosed screwdriver. Insert the battery. Close the battery compartment.
- If the LED on the Quadrocopter flashes slowly. you must change the battery.
Inserting the batteries in the remote control
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 functions of the remote control with
the help of the power switch on the front. With the power switch turned ON and
functioning correctly, the top center LED on the remote control will light up
red. If the LED control flashes slowly and an acoustic signal is heard, the
batteries in the controller must be changed.
Frequency bind between model and remote control
The Carrera RC Quadrocopter and the controller automatically link up and are
renewed with every operational start-up. If initially there are any problems
with communication between the Carrera RC Quadrocopter and the remote control,
please carry out a new frequency bind.
- Connect the battery in the model.
- The LEDs on the quadrocopter now flash rhythmically.
- Switch on the controller at the power switch.
- WARNING! Immediately after switching it on, place the Quadrocopter on a flat and level surface. The gyro system will then set itself automatically.
- Slide the left joystick, thus the gas lever, completely up and down again into the zero position.
- Allow the helicopter a few moments until the system is correctly initialized and is ready for operation.
- The binding has now been successfully established.
- The LED on the controller now lights continuously.

Choosing the flight area
8 When being prepared for the first flight you should choose a closed
room which is as large as possible without any persons or obstacles. Due to
its size and controllability, experienced pilots may be able to fly the
Quadrocopter in relatively small rooms. For your first flights, we strongly
recommend you choose a room with a minimum floor space of 5 x 5 meters and
2.40 meters in height. After having trimmed your Quadrocopter for flight and
made yourself familiar with the controller and its functions you may start
flying in smaller and less open environments.
To be used in the domestic areas (house and garden) only. There must be
no persons or objects such as pillars between the controller and the
Quadrocopter to obstruct direct connection.

15 Press the ‘Auto-start & fly to ‘.1 m’ button on the controller, in
order to start the motors and automatical-ly fly up to the altitude of about 1
m . You are able to influence the direction of flight at any time during the
starting operation by means of moving the right joystick. The Quadrocopter
will maintain itself in position automatically as soon as the altitude of
about 1 m has been reached. The flying height can be changed ma-nually at any
time by moving the left-hand joystick forwards (increase height) or backwards
(reduce height).
Auto Landing
16 You can trigger the automatic landing function at any time by means of
pressing the ‘Auto landing’ but-ton. The speed of the rotors will reduce
gradually as a result. You are able to influence the landing posi-tion at any
time during the landing procedure by means of moving the right-hand joystick.
The motor will switch itself off as soon as the Quadrocopter is on the ground.
Trimming the Quadrocopter
17 Auto-trimming
- Place the Quadrocopter on a horizontal surface.
- Link the Quadrocopter with the controller as described in “Linking the model with the controller”.
- Slide the gas lever and the lever for forwarding/back simultaneously into the right lower corner. The LED on the Quadrocopter flashes on briefly and then lights up continuously. The signaling tone will sound once.
- The neutral setting is completed.
18 When hovering, if the Quadrocopter flies to the left or right without
you moving the lever for left / right movement, please proceed as follows: If
the Quadrocopter moves on its own fast or slow sideways to the left, press the
lower right trimmer for right / left tilt in steps to the right. If the
Quadrocopter moves right, press the trimmer for right / left tilt in steps to
the left.
