10. Operation of the Model Helicopter
a) Charging the Flight Battery
The three-cell flight battery (1) is charged using the supplied
mains adapter (2) and the LiPo charger (3).
When charging, always remove the flight battery
from the model in order to prevent shape
distortion of the plastic parts if the components
heat up.
First connect the mains adapter connection cable (4) left of
the LiPo charger. The two charging sockets are on the other,
right, side of the LiPo charger. The plug of the 4-pole
rechargeable battery cable is protected against polarity
reversal and to be connected to the lower charging socket
(5). The upper charging socket (6) is intended for a 2-cell
LiPo battery.
Attention!
When connecting the plug connector protected
against polarity reversal to the LiPo charger,
ensure that the two guide pins of the plug point
upwards.
The 2-pole connection cable with the BEC plug (7) is not
required for charging. Later on, you connect the
rechargeable battery to the model with this cable.
The connection cable of the mains adapter is
wound up at delivery. Before first use, the cable
retainer must be opened and the cable
unwound.
Attention!
The LiPo charger is either designed for 2-cell
LiPo rechargeable batteries with 7.4 V and a
narrow plug (not part of the delivery) or for 3-
cell LiPo rechargeable batteries with 11.1 V and
a broad plug (part of the delivery).
Never connect two rechargeable batteries to the
LiPo charger at the same time!
After connecting the mains adapter (see figure 6, item 2) to a 230 V mains socket, the red operating voltage display at
the LiPo charger lights up (see figure 6, item 8) and shows that the charger is correctly supplied with voltage.
