Guidelines and warnings for the use of LiPo rechargeable batteries
• You have to charge the attached 3.7 V
430 mAh / 1.59 Wh LiPo rechargeable battery in a safe place
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 immediately after use to prevent its becoming deep discharged. Please
make sure to allow a pause of about 20 minutes between finishing the flight and recharging the
battery. Recharge the battery occasionally (suggested every 2-3 months). Failure to treat the battery
as described above can lead to its becoming defective.
• 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 Quadrocopter 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
Make sure you only charge the LiPo rechargeable battery supplied with the LiPo charging unit also supplied
(USB cable and remote control). If you try to charge the rechargeable battery with a different LiPo battery
charger or any other battery charger, this might cause serious damage. Please carefully read the previous
chapter with warnings and guidelines on the usage of rechargeable batteries before proceeding. Supply
terminals are not to be short-circuited. You can charge the rechargeable battery fitted in the Quadrocopter
with its USB charging cable from a USB port on a computer:
2a
Charging via computer:
• r echargeable batteries are to be removed from the model before being charged.
• 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 Quadrocopter with a discharged battery, the LED on the USB charging cable no longer lights up,
showing that the Quadrocopter battery is being charged. The USB charging cable and the charging
socket on the Quadrocopter are designed to make incorrect connection impossible.
• It takes about 60 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.
It is essential to follow the connection sequence given above!
Undo the plugged connection on the Quadrocopter when you are not using the Quadrocopter. Failure
to observe this precaution may cause battery damage!
2b
Insertion of the rechargeable batteries into the Quadrocopter
• Open the cover of the battery compartment with the aid of a screwdriver. Insert the battery. Close
the battery compartment.
• If the LED on the Quadrocopter flashes slowly, you must change the battery.
Inserting the batteries in the remote control
3
Open the battery compartment with a screwdriver and insert the batteries in the remote control. Please
keep in mind the correct polarity. Different types of batteries or new and used batteries are not to be
mixed. 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 functioning correctly, the top centre LED
on the remote control will light up red. If the LED control flashes slowly and an acoustic signal is heard, the
batteries in the controller must be changed.
Frequency bind between model and remote control
4
The Carrera RC Quadrocopter and the controller automatically link up renewed with every operational
start-up. If initially there are any problems with communication between the Carrera RC Quadrocopter
and the remote control, please carry out a new frequency bind.
• Connect the battery in the model.
• Switch the model ON at the ON/OFF switch.
•
WARNING! Immediately after switching it on, place the Quadrocopter on a flat and level surface. The
gyro-system will then set itself automatically.
• The LEDs on the quadrocopter now flash rhythmically.
• Switch on the controller at the power switch.
• Slide the left joystick, thus the gas lever, completely up and down again into the zero position.
• The binding has now been successfully established.
• The LED on the controller now lights continuously.
• After approx. 5½ minutes, the controller switches off. Please repeat the link procedure for renewed use.

Choosing the flight area
8
When being prepared for the first flight you should choose a closed room which is as large as
possible without any persons or obstacles. Due to its size and controllability, experienced pilots
may be able to fly the Quadrocopter in relatively small rooms. For your first flights we strongly recom-
mend you choose a room with a minimum floor space of 5 x 5 metres and 2.40 metres in height. After
having trimmed your Quadrocopter for flight and made yourself familiar with the controller and its
functions you may start flying in smaller and less open environments.
To be used in domestic area (house and garden) only.
There must be no persons or objects such as
pillars between the controller and the Quadrocopter to obstruct direct connection.
