Charging the flight battery
The numbers used in these instructions refer to the illustration alongside the text or the illustrations within
the respective section. Therefore, e.g. number 1 or 2 can identify different components depending on the
figure. Any cross-references to other figures are indicated with the figure number and the corresponding
number.
The charging cable in Figure 2 is wound up for photo-technical reasons. Before the first use, open the cable
tie and unwind the charging cable completely.
Connect the reverse polarity protected plug of the charg-
ing cable (1) to the connection plug (2) of the flight battery
(3).
Then connect the USB plug (4) of the charging cable to a
USB port of a computer/laptop or to a USB charger plug.
Optionally, you can use a suitable powerful power bank.
Important!
The USB port output current must be at least
500 mA.
Do not connect the charging cable to a USB
hub without a separate mains adapter (e.g. a
keyboard USB port, etc.), because this will not
provide sufficient current for charging.
When connecting the charging cable to the USB port of a
computer, the operating system does not recognise any
new hardware since this port serves only for charging.
Note that the USB ports of a computer/laptop are usually
only active when the computer/laptop is turned on.
With this in mind, it is recommended that you only con-
nect the charging cable to the computer/laptop when it is
turned on.
The charging control LED (5) on the USB plug glows
steadily and thus signals the ongoing charging process.
When charging is complete and the flight battery is fully
charged, the red LED of the USB plug goes out.
The flight battery may take up to an hour to charge depending on its charge status and current strength of the USB
port.
Disconnect the charging cable from the flight battery immediately after charging and unplug the USB plug of the charg
-
ing cable from the computer/laptop or charger plug.
Important!
Only use the included charging cable to charge the helicopter battery. Never attempt to charge the re-
chargeable battery with a different/incompatible charger! Only charge the helicopter battery when you are
able to monitor the charging process.
