Prior to charging the LiPo battery, please read and understand the LiPo Battery Warnings 

section on page 5.

1)  Plug the charger into a free USB port in your PC or Laptop.

2)  Plug  the  connector  from  the  charger  into  the 

matching  connector  on  the  LiPo  battery.  The 

charge  indicator  will  turn  red,  indicating  the  LiPo 

battery is charging.

On  some  PCs  and  Laptops,  you  may  need  to 

turn the device ON to power the USB port.

3)  Allow the LiPo battery to charge. When the LiPo battery is fully charged, the charge indicator 

will turn OFF. At this time, unplug the LiPo battery from the charger, then unplug the charger 

from its power source.

Follow the steps in this section to get the Aerocraft CamQuad Quad-Copter ready for its first 

flight. This includes charging the LiPo battery, installing the transmitter batteries, installing the 

LiPo battery, calibrating the gyro and arming the ESC.

On average, the LiPo battery will take approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour to fully charge. To 

prevent any chance of over-charging, unplug the LiPo battery from the charger immediately 

after the charging process completes.
