Batteries & Charging

Battery Charging Procedure 

The craft’s battery must be charged before the unit can be flown. 

Before charging, 

be sure  the craft and remote control are powered OFF. 

Failure to do so may result in 

injury or damage. 

Connect the charging cable (included) to the USB port of a powered ON computer or 
USB power adaptor (not included), then connect the charging plug to charging port on 
the unit. 

For correct fit, the small tab on the charging plug should be pointed down. 

Be sure to correctly match the plug to the charging port or damage may occur.

 

Charge fully before use for maximum performance and flight time. Charging time is 
approximately 20 minutes.
