Guidelines and warnings for the use of LiPo rechargeable batteries
• You have to charge the attached 7.4 V
and 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:
2
• Rechargeable batteries are to be removed from the model before being charged.
• Connect the USB charging cable with the USB port of a computer.
• Connect the battery and the charging cable. When charging, the LED lights will light up rhythmically to
indicate the charge level of the battery. The USB charging cable is designed in such a way to prevent re-
versed polarity.
• It takes about 50 minutes to recharge a discharged battery (but NOT a deep-discharged one). When the
battery is full, all 4 LED lights are on permanently.
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!
Undo the plugged connection on the helicopter if you are not going to use the helicopter. Failure to
observe this precaution may cause battery damage!
Inserting the batteries in the remote control
Open the battery compartment. Insert batteries. Please keep in mind the correct polarity. After having
3
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.
• Connect the battery in the model.
• Switch on the model at the ON/OFF switch. The LEDs on the model now flash rhythmically.

Controlling the helicopter
In case you don´t know the control functions of your Carrera RC helicopter yet, please take
7
some minutes 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).
With the throttle being at minimum position and the trim of throttle in medium or lower position, the rotor
blades are not going to revolve.
Manual start: Slide the gas lever to the lower left corner and the lever for forward / back simultaneously into
the right lower corner. The rotor blades slowly start to rotate. Then release the two levers again. To take off,
carefully push the gas lever upwards.
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.
To land, push the gas lever all the way down. Hold the gas lever in the lower stop for 2 -3 seconds until the
rotor blades stop rotating.
