Guidelines and warnings for the use of LiPo rechargeable batteries
• You have to charge the attached 3.7 V 850 mAh/ 3.15 Wh LiPo rechargeable battery in a safe place
UAS class
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 a health risk 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 which 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 becoming deep discharged. After use, the bat-
tery 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-circuit-
ed. 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 recognise that a considerable trim and/or controlling is
necessary to avoid that the helicopter starts 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).
In case you try to charge the rechargeable battery with a different LiPo battery charger or any other battery
charger, this might cause serious damages. Please carefully read the previous chapter about warnings and
guidelines on the usage of rechargeable batteries before proceeding.
Charging via computer:
2
• 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 helicopter with
a discharged battery, the LED on the USB charging cable does not light up; this shows that the helicopter
battery is being charged. The USB charging cable and the charging socket on the helicopter are designed
to make incorrect connection impossible.
• It takes about 80 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.
4
It is essential to follow the connection sequence given above! If you have the charger cable only
connected to the helicopter, and not to a source of electricity, a green LED display indicates that there
is still power in the battery. The green LED display does not necessarily indicate the battery is still
adequately charged. While charging, the power switch must be in the "OFF" position.
Undo the plugged connection on the helicopter if you are not going to use the helicopter. Failure to
observe this precaution may cause battery damage!
Inserting the batteries in the remote control
Open the battery compartment with a screwdriver and insert the batteries in the remote control. Please
3
keep in mind the correct polarity. 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 proper
functioning, the top center LED on the remote control will light up red. When the control LED flashes rapidly,
the batteries in the controller must be changed.

Controlling the helicopter
In case you don´t know the control functions of your Carrera RC helicopter yet, please take some min-
7
utes before the first flight in or to make yourself familiar with them. The descriptions left or right refer to
the view out of the cockpit (pilote´s view). Push the throttle up to increase the rotational speed of the main
rotor blades. Increase the rotational speed of the main rotor blades and the model will start to ascend.
If you push down the throttle and thus reduce the rotational speed of the main rotor blades the helicopter will
descend. When the model has lifted off the ground you can get it into stationary hovering without abrupt as-
cending or descending by carefully moving the throttle upwards and downwards. The right-hand joystick can
be used, without using the left-hand joystick, to fly forwards/backwards or in a circle at the same flying height.
Move the right lever (tail) to the left and the helicopter's nose turns (yaws) round the main rotor's axis in
8
a circle to the left. Move the right lever (tail) to the right and the helicopter's nose turns (yaws) round the
main rotor's axis in a circle to the right. Use the trimmer for tail until you have reached a stable neutral position
of the helicopter when hovering, without moving the right lever (tail).
The forward-/backward lever controls the helicopter´s pitch forward and backward. When shifting the lever
9
forward the nose of the helicopter will move downwards and the helicopter will fly forward. When shifting
the forward-/backward lever backward the helicopter will move backwards and the helicopter will fly backward.
Choosing the flight area
The helicopter can only be flown outdoors when there is little or no wind. Please be aware that,
10
although it may be calm on the ground, it may still be very windy even a little way off the ground.
If this warning is disregarded, it may lead to total loss of the helicopter.
After having trimmed your helicopter for flight and having made yourself familiar with the con-
11
trolling and its functions you may start flying in smaller and less open environments.
Automatic control of altitude
The Helicopter will maintain the current flying altitude automatically as soon as you release the left-hand
12
joystick during the flight. The right-hand joystick can be used, without using the left-hand joystick, to fly
forwards/backwards or in a circle at the same flying height.
Auto-Start & Fly to ≈ 1 m
Press the 'Auto-start & fly to ≈1 m' button on the controller, in order to start the motors and automatical-
13
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 helicopter will maintain itself in position au-
tomatically as soon as the altitude of about 1 m has been reached.
Auto Landing
You can trigger the automatic landing function at any time by means of pressing the 'Auto landing' but-
14
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 helicopter is on the ground.
Trimming the helicopter
Auto-trimming
15
1. Place the helicopter on a horizontal surface.
2. Link the helicopter with the controller as described in "Linking the model with the controller".
3. Slide the gas lever and the lever for forward / back simultaneously into the right lower corner.
The LED on the helicopter flashes on briefly and then lights up continuously. The signalling tone
will sound once.
4. The neutral setting is completed.
When hovering and without you moving the lever for circling on the spot, if the helicopter rotates to left
16
or right, proceed as follows: If the helicopter rotates quickly or slowly to the left around its own axis, press
the trimmer for rotation below left in steps to the right. If the helicopter rotates to the right, press the trimmer
for rotation in steps to the left.
