a) Charging the Flight Battery
Caution, important!
Even though this would easily be possible when operating the model later, never charge the flight battery
when installed for reasons of safety. Always remove the flight battery from the model for recharging! Place
the flight battery on a fire-proof underground when charging and do not charge the battery unsupervised.
The flight battery is charged with the enclosed USB charging cable. For this, the charging cable is connected to a USB
socket of a computer/notebook or to a conventional USB plug-in charger.
Charging:
Connect the flight battery (1) with the connector protect
-
ed against polarity reversal of the USB charging cable
(2). Work with the required care and do not apply any
unnecessary force. The red charge indicator LED (3) in
the USB plug is lit.
Once the USB plug of the charger (4) is connected to
a USB socket of a computer/notebook or a USB plug-
in charger, charging commences automatically. The
charge indicator LED in the USB plug goes out.
The red charge indicator LED in the USB plug lights up
again when charging is completed and the rechargeable
battery is fully charged.
Disconnect the rechargeable battery from the USB
charging cable at once after charging and pull the USB
plug of the charging cable from the computer/notebook
or from the plug-in charger.
For photo-technical reasons, the USB charg-
ing cable is illustrated in the wound-up state
in figure 4. Before first use, the cable retainer
should be opened and the cable unwound.
