rotor blades!
As user of this product you are solely responsible for handling it safely in order to ensure
that neither you nor other persons or their property suffer damages or are endangered.
This model is controlled via a radio signal which might be disturbed by various sources
from outside. These interferences can cause a short loss of control. Therefore it is
advisable to always keep a safe distance to the model in order to avoid damage to prop-
erty or injuries.
• Never use your model with weak remote control batteries.
• Avoid busy areas. Always make sure that there is enough space.
• Preferably do not use your model on an open street or in public areas in order not to
endanger or hurt anyone.
• Exactly observe the instructions and warnings for this product and for any possible
additional equipment (battery charger, rechargeable batteries etc.) being used by you.
• Should the helicopter come into contact with any living thing or solid object, immedi-
ately return the gas control to zero, in other words the left-hand joystick must be at the
stop at the bottom of the slide!
• Make sure that all chemicals, small parts and electrical components are out of child-
rens´ reach.
• Avoid any moisture as this might do damage to the electronics.
• There is a risk to suffer severe injury or even death if you put parts of your model into
your mouth or lick them.
Important information concerning Lithium Polymer rechargeable batteries
Lithium-Polymer (LiPo) rechargeable batteries are significantly more sensitive than tradi-
tional alkali- or NiMH-rechargeable batteries which are normally used with radio control
units. Therefore the instructions and warnings have to be observed in detail. In case of
improper use of LiPo rechargeable batteries there is a danger of fire. Always follow the
manufacturers´ instructions if you dispose of LiPo rechargeable batteries.
Regulations on disposal for waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE)
This symbol, showing refuse bins with a cross
through them, denotes that empty batteries,
rechargeable batteries, button cells, recharge-
able battery packs, equipment batteries, dis-
used electrical equipment, etc. should not be
disposed of in domestic refuse, as they are harmful to the environment and health.
Please help to preserve environment and health and talk to your children about the cor-
rect disposal of used batteries and disused electrical equipment. Batteries and disused
electrical equipment should be handed in to the usual collection points where they can
be properly recycled.
Do not mix dissimilar battery types or employ new and used batteries together. Empty
batteries should be removed from the product. Do not attempt to recharge non-
rechargeable batteries. Rechargeable batteries should only be charged under adult
super vision. Exhausted batteries are to be removed from the toy. Rechargeable batter-
ies should be removed from the product before charging. Supply terminal are not to be
short-circuited. Only use the batteries recommended or equivalent types.
If in regular use the charger must be examined for damage to the cord, plug, covers and
all other parts. If any signs of damage are found the charger may only be used again
after repair work has been completed.
Guidelines and warnings for the use of LiPo rechargeable batteries
Although the 8.4 V 1000 mA Lithium Polymer battery charger you received together
with the Carrera RC helicopter has been developed especially for safe charging of the
7.4 V 1000 mAh LiPo battery, you have to read the following safety regulations and
warnings before using or charging the LiPo rechargeable battery.
Note: LiPo rechargeable batteries are significantly more sensitive than traditional
alkali- or NiMH-rechargeable batteries which are normally used with radio control units.
Therefore all instructions and warnings have to be observed precisely. In case of
improper use of LiPo rechargeable batteries there is a danger of fire. When handling,
charging or using the attached LiPo rechargeable battery you assume all and any risks
connected with Lithium rechargeable batteries. If you do not agree to these terms
please immediately return the complete helicopter model in new and unused condition
to the retailer.
• You have to charge the attached 7.4 V
safe place and at a safe distance to flammable material.
• Never leave the battery unguarded when charging it. When charging the battery you
should always be nearby in order to control the charging process and to be able to react
to potential problems.
• After a flight, the rechargeable battery has to cool down to the ambient air temperature
before charging it.
• You may only use the appropriate 8.4 V
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 inflam-
mable material and watch it for at least 15 minutes. In case you continue charging or dis-
charging 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 immediately after use to prevent its becoming deep
discharged. Please make sure to allow a pause of about 20 minutes between fin-
ishing the flight and recharging the battery. Recharge the battery occasionally
(suggested every 2-3 months). Failure to treat the battery as described above can
lead to its becoming defective. Rechargeable batteries are only to be charged
under adult supervision! Rechargeable batteries are only to be charged by adults
or by children at least 8 years old.
• 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.
• Do not discharge the LiPo battery beyond a certain level. If the battery is unloaded too
deep the battery´s output as well as its durability will decrease which can finally lead to a
total breakdown. LiPo cells should not be discharged beyond 6 V when being used. The
LiPo battery in the Carrera RC helicopter must not fall beyond 6 V voltage during the
flight. The helicopter´s control unit is equipped with a protection system (LVC) which is
activated in case the voltage drops to under 6 V. With this cut-off being activated the
control unit is going to reduce the engines´ performance in order to avoid a voltage drop
to under 6 V. Should you notice this reduction in performance you should land the heli-
copter at once, switch off the model and take out the rechargeable battery as a further
discharging beyond 6 V will damage the LiPo rechargeable battery permanently.
This results in a reduction in the battery´s output and durability for any following flights or
in a total breakdown. In addition, repeated attempts to discharge the rechargeable bat-
tery furthermore may lead to the control system´s breakdown although the engines are
still running. The minimum voltage required for the receiver or other pieces of electronics
is no longer reached then. It is not advisable to max the rechargeable battery to 6 V on
each flight. Instead, you should keep an eye on the battery´s/helicopter´s charge condi-
tion during the flight. Should you notice that the helicopter requires stronger controlling
than normally when hovering or flying you should land your model immediately. Never-
theless, frequent discharging of the rechargeable battery down to 6 V can damage it
permanently.
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 6 V and it is a good moment to end the flight.
