The capacity of Li-Po batteries drops
dramatically if the tempera-ture is below
5° C. So keep the batteries warm when
flying in cold conditions or even heat them
up to approx. 30° C.

For charging the remote control (Futaba FX-30) use the battery charger that comes with the remote control.
Please see the camera manuals for more information. The Panasonic Lumix LX5, LX7, TZ22 & TZ31
cameras, obtain standard camera batteries. To charge them use the battery charger that comes with
the camera and read the specific safety guidelines given by the battery manufacturer.
CHARGING
For charging Li-Po batteries we recommend the usage of a Robbe Power Peak C8 EQ-BID:
1.
Plug the battery charger to a power outlet
or connect it with a car battery with the
alligator clips.
2.
Connect the charging cable with the green
MPX socket (for TP8000 and PP6100) or
red gold connector (for TP1800) to the
output sockets on the right hand side (red
to red, black to black).
3.
Plug the battery to the charging cable and
with the black connector to the balancing
cable.
4.
Press MODE to start charging. The
charger will automatically select the right
charging settings.
5.
When the battery is fully charged there is
an acoustic signal and “BF…” displayed.
6.
Unplug the battery and disconnect the
charger from the power outlet to finish the
charging process.
Do not leave batteries charging without attendance.
