Guidelines and warnings for the use of LiPo rechargeable batteries
• You have to charge the attached 3.7 V
at a safe distance to flammable material.
• Never leave the battery unattended while it is charging
• After a flight, the rechargeable battery has to cool down to the ambient air temperature before charging it.
• You must always use the corresponding LiPo charging unit (USB cable / remote control). In case of
non-compliance with these directions there is a danger of fire resulting in a health risk and/or damage to
property. NEVER use any other battery charger.
• Should the rechargeable battery swell or deform while discharging or recharging, you have to immediately
stop charging or discharging the battery. Take the battery out as quickly and carefully as possible and place
it in a safe and open area offside any inflammable material and watch it for at least 15 minutes. In case you
continue charging or discharging a battery which has already started to swell or deform there is a danger of
fire! Even in case of slight deforming or ballooning the rechargeable battery has to be taken out of operation.
• Store the rechargeable battery at ambient temperature in a dry place.
• Always recharge the battery after use to prevent its becoming deep discharged. After use, the bat-
tery must be allowed to cool down for at least 20 minutes before it can be fully recharged. Recharge
the battery occasionally (suggested every 2–3 months). Supply terminals are not to be short-circuit-
ed. Failure to treat the battery as described above can lead to its becoming defective. Never leave
the battery unattended while it is being charged.
• When transporting or temporarily storing the rechargeable battery the temperature should be between
5-50°C. If possible, do not store the battery or the model in a car and do not expose it to direct sunlight. In
case the battery is broiled it can be damaged or catch fire.
Note: If the battery voltage/output is low you will recognise that a considerable trim and/or controlling is
necessary to avoid that the helicopter starts trundling. This usually occurs before reaching a battery voltage
of 3 V and it is a good moment to end the flight.

Recharging the LiPo rechargeable battery
Rechargeable batteries are to be removed from the toy before being charged. Make sure you only charge the
LiPo rechargeable battery supplied with the LiPo charging unit also supplied (USB cable and remote control).
In case you try to charge the rechargeable battery with a different LiPo battery charger or any other battery
charger, this might cause serious damages. Please carefully read the previous chapter about warnings and
guidelines on the usage of rechargeable batteries before proceeding.
Charging via computer:

• Connect the USB charging cable with the USB port of a computer. The LED on the USB charger cable lights
green indicating that the charger unit is correctly connected to the computer. If you plug in a helicopter with
ENGLISH
WARNING: For the purposes of
Battery chargers used
or
150 mAh/ 0,56Wh LiPo rechargeable battery in a safe place and
a discharged battery, the LED on the USB charging cable does not light up; this shows that the helicopter
battery is being charged. The USB charging cable and the charging socket on the helicopter are designed
to make incorrect connection impossible.
• It takes about 30 minutes to recharge a discharged battery (but NOT a deep-discharged one). When the
battery is fully charged, the LED display on the USB charger cable lights up green again.
Note: When supplied, the lipo-battery is already partially charged so the first charging cycle may well take less time.
It is essential to follow the connection sequence given above! If you have the charger cable only
connected to the helicopter, and not to a source of electricity, a green LED display indicates that there
is still power in the battery. The green LED display does not necessarily indicate the battery is still
adequately charged. While charging, the power switch must be in the "OFF" position.
Inserting the batteries in the remote control
Open the battery compartment with a screwdriver and insert the batteries in the remote control. Please
3
keep in mind the correct polarity. After having closed the compartment you can check all functions of the
remote control with the help of the power-switch on the front. With the power-switch turned ON and proper
functioning, the top center LED on the remote control will light up red. When the control LED flashes rapidly,
the batteries in the controller must be changed.
Frequency bind between model and remote control
The Carrera RC helicopter and the remote control are frequency bound at purchase. Should there occur
4
any problems with the communication between the Carrera RC helicopter and the remote control at the
beginning, please carry out a new frequency bind.
• Switch on the model at the ON/OFF switch.
• The LED in the helicopter now flashes in rhythmically-accelerating sequence.
• Switch on the controller at the power switch. While connecting, the controller emits a signal tone.
• WARNING! Immediately after switching it on, place the helicopter a flat and level surface. The gy-
ro-system will then set itself automatically.
• Slide the left joystick, thus the gas lever, completely up and down again into the zero position.
• Allow the helicopter a few moments until the system is correctly initialised and is ready for operation.
• The binding has now been successfully established.
• The LED on the controller now lights continuously.

Controlling the helicopter
In case you don´t know the control functions of your Carrera RC helicopter yet, please take some min-
8
utes before the first flight in or to make yourself familiar with them. The descriptions left or right refer to
the view out of the cockpit (pilote´s view). Push the throttle up to increase the rotational speed of the main
rotor blades. Increase the rotational speed of the main rotor blades and the model will start to ascend.
If you push down the throttle and thus reduce the rotational speed of the main rotor blades the helicopter
will descend. When the model has lifted off the ground you can get it into stationary hovering without abrupt
ascending or descending by carefully moving the throttle upwards and downwards.
Move the right lever (tail) to the left and the helicopter's nose turns (yaws) round the main rotor's axis in
9
a circle to the left. Move the right lever (tail) to the right and the helicopter's nose turns (yaws) round the
main rotor's axis in a circle to the right. Use the trimmer for tail until you have reached a stable neutral position
of the helicopter when hovering, without moving the right lever (tail).
The forward-/backward lever controls the helicopter´s pitch forward and backward. When shifting the lever
10
forward the nose of the helicopter will move downwards and the helicopter will fly forward. When shifting
the forward-/backward lever backward the helicopter will move backwards and the helicopter will fly backward.
Choosing the flight area
When being prepared for the first flight you should choose a closed room without any persons
11
or obstacles which is as big as possible. Due to the size and controllability of the helicopter
experienced pilotes may be able to fly the helicopter in relatively small rooms. For your first flights we
