Installing the Transmitter Batteries (RTF)

Install 4 AA batteries into the transmitter, noting polarity. Replace the
transmitter batteries when the power LED fl ashes and the transmitter beeps.
We recommend using only alkaline AA batteries in the transmitter,
however, it is possible to use rechargeable NiMH batteries.

CAUTION:

 If using rechargeable batteries, charge only recharge-

able batteries. Charging non-rechargeable batteries may cause the 

batteries to burst, resulting in injury to persons and/or damage to property.

Battery Charging

CAUTION:

 Only use chargers specifi cally designed to charge the included Li-Po battery.

Failure to do so could result in fi re, causing injury or property damage.

CAUTION:

 Never exceed the recommended charge rate.

The Battery Charger (EFLC1013) included with your quadcopter has been designed to safely charge the 1S 3.7V 500mAh 25C 
Li-Po fl ight battery. Refer to the charging warnings. It is recommended to charge the battery pack while you are inspecting 
the aircraft. The fl ight battery will be required to confi rm proper aircraft operation in future steps.

NOTICE:

 Inspect the battery to make sure it is not damaged e.g., swollen, bent, broken or punctured.

Charge only batteries that are cool to the touch and are not damaged.

1. Insert the charger into a USB port. The charger 

only uses power from the USB port. USB power 
supplies, such as those used to charge cellular 
phones, can also be used.

2. Connect the battery to the charger as shown in the illustration above. When you make the connection successfully, the 

LED on the charger turns solid red, indicating charging has begun. Charging a fully discharged (not over-discharged) 
500mAh battery takes approximately 60 minutes. The LED goes out when the charge is complete.
