GET TO KNOW YOUR CONTROLLER

INSTALLING THE TRANSMITTER BATTERIES

1. Remove battery compartment cover using a small screwdriver. Install 3 x AAA batteries, noting correct polarity(+ and -), replace compartment cover and tighten the set screw.
2. Use new, high quality batteries. Do not mix different types of batteries.
3. When transmitter LED indicator flashes. this indicates low voltage. Replace the transmitter batteries with new ones.

PRE-FLIGHT INSTRUCTIONS

1. Charge the helicopter battery, first please read the charging instructions section.
2. Place helicopter on the ground or flat surface (free of any potential obstruction).
3. Turn the helicopter power to ON – do not move the position of the helicopter while the red LED is flashing.
4. Turn the power switch on the controller to ON. Wait 3 seconds for the pairing process to complete.
5. When the LED of the controller changes from flashing to solid, and the blue LED tail lights change from flashing to solid, pairing has been successful.
6. Calibrate frequently to ensure optimal performance. Before takeoff, move both joysticks at the same time – the throttle straight down and the directional joystick down/left as shown in the diagram. During calibration, the controller will beep once, the helicopter lights will flash quickly and then become steady indicating that calibration is complete.
7. Check that there is no damage to the helicopter, transmitter or the battery. Ensure all rotor blades are free and clear of any hair or carpet fibers.
8. Surrounding conditions: dry, with very little to no wind or drafts.
   Helicopter is designed more for indoor use. with occasional outdoor use ability in ideal weather.

UNDERSTANDING TAKE OFF AND LANDING WI TH AN ALTITUDE HOLD HELICOPTER

Ensure a clear unobstructed area. Note, after take off, the helicopter hovers about 1 meter {3 feet} higher.

After you have completed all pre-flight instructions, you are ready to press the One Key Take Off button (short press). The helicopter will a second 1 meter and hover in place. Press this button again for  One Key Landing (short press}. Long Press this same button will initiate the Emergency Stop safety feature.

Once successfully hovering in place, you can control the helicopter’s attitude using the throttle joystick (up/down) and, using the directional joystick control the direction you wish to fly forward/ reverse/left/right

When you increase altitude and release the throttle joystick, the helicopter will hover at that new set height.

FLIGHT CONTROL

TRIMMING THE HELICOPTER (IN FLIGHT FINE TUNING)

CHARGING THE HELICOPTER BATTERY

To remove the rechargeable battery from the helicopter:

1. Using your non dominant hand, hold the metal alloy main body (above the plastic landing gear) with your thumb on one side and your index finger on the other side.
2. Turn the helicopter upside down. You can see the battery (silver) in the middle, it’s encased in a black plastic cover, which has a tab at the back. Push the tab slightly with your thumb (with your forefinger on the top side) and pull straight back towards the rear of the helicopter to slide out the battery. Refer to: Bottom of Fuselage Diagram.

Charging Procedure:

Carefully line up the pins of the charging wire (it only connects in one orientation) and connect the battery (white end) to the USB charging cable and then connect the USB connection via a computer USB Port. The USB end shows a red LED indicator during charging and turns off when charging is complete.

To replace the battery after charging, the black battery tab MUST be facing down (the battery only connects in one orientation) slide/push back into the battery compartment until it clicks into place. If the helicopter power is ON, the blue LEDs on the tail assembly should be flashing when a charged battery is in place.

For charging, helicopter is safely landed and powered OFF. (also turn controller power to OFF)

• The charging process should be completed by an adult only.
• Battery overcharge protection is built in.
• Exceptional Run Time — up to 10 minutes
• Charge Time — approx. 45-60 mins.

Important: Allow the battery time to cool down after use before recharging. Ensure the charged battery has been replaced correctly or the helicopter may not power ON or may perform incorrectly. Input: 100-240W “50/60Hz 0.2A: 5.0V 500mA 0.5-1.5A

Caution: All lithium batteries pose some risk during charging. Although the risk of fire is small, a charging battery should never be left unattended. Set a timer for 60 minutes, confirm the battery is fully charged, and unplug the charging cable when charging is complete. Do not charge a battery on top of flammables such as clothing, a sofa, carpet, wood furniture etc. Charge the battery on a hard flat surface such as a countertop. If battery leakage occurs, properly dispose of the battery (according to local regulations) and wash your hands with soap immediately. Avoid contact with your eyes, mouth etc. Should contact with your eyes occur, flush your eyes for several minutes with clean water and seek medical advice. In the unlikely event you notice a particular smell, noise or smoke during charging, unplug the charging cable from the USB power source and carefully place the helicopter somewhere safe (like on the grass outside). Use only the USB charger provided. Do not charge the battery if it has any physical deformities. Dispose of it and purchase a replacement
