How to charge the battery of aircraft

To cater to different demands from end users, 3 charging devices are designed and optional for charging.
Charging device A: 1 X adaptor only,
Charging device B: 1 X 1SB cable and 1X balance charging controller,
Charging device C: 1 X adaptor and 1 X balance charging controller
The product will be packed with any of the 3 charging devices. Users should check the package to confirm which charging device is included before reading the charging method.
How to charge the battery with charging  device A:

1. Insert the charger plug to the power outlet, the charger indicator turns green,
2. Connect the triple-lines plug of the battery with the charger power line to charge the battery,
3. The charger indicator keeps solid red when charging is proceeding and turns green once the battery
   is full-charged. Full Charging takes about 5 hours.

How to charge the battery with charging device B:

1. Connect the balance charger to any USB interface (5V adapter or any device with USB interface) by
   the USB cable. At this moment, the red light is solid on and the green light is off

2. Insert the triplex-wire plug of the battery into the triplex-wire socket of the balance charging controller
   and charging is proceeding,

3.  The green light keeps flashing slowly and the red light keeps solid on when the battery is being charged,
   when charging is finished, both of the green light and red light keep solid on. Once there is any
   malfunction, the red light will be solid on and the green light will keep flashing rapidly. Full Charging takes about 5 hours.

How to charge the battery with charging device C:

1.  Connect the charger plug with the power outlet, plug the charger wire into the socket located at the night
   side of the balance charging controller. At this moment, red light and green light are both solid on,

2. Insert the triplex-wire plug of the battery into the triplex-wire socket of the balance charging controller
   and charging is proceeding,

3.  The green light is off and the red light is on when the battery is being charged. Greenlight and the red light will be both on once the battery is full charged. Full Charging takes about 5 hours

Attention It Is recommended to use the 5V 1-2A adapter for charging If charging by device B.

Maximum rotate both of the left and night control stick to any direction for 2 circles. Then, again, push down the calibration button and hold on for 3 seconds. The remote controller will send out 3 beep sounds; the indicator light of the model turns from  flashing slowly to quickly, which means that remote controller calibration is completed Warm tip:

• All remote controllers have been calibrated when manufacturing
• Remote controller calibration is requested only if pilots find that the remote controller control sticks are not working normally.

• Signal connection is done once for all if it is not connected with other aircraft.
• Set the connection one by one to avoid signal connection error.

Aircraft calibration

Once the gyro detection of the aircraft is finished, push down both of the control sticks to the lower night corner (indicated as below photo). The aircraft front lights turn from solid to flashing. It means that aircraft
calibration is succeeded.
