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
3
the remote control. Please 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
4
purchase. Should there occur any problems with the communication be-
tween 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 gyro-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.
Checklist for flight preparation
This checklist does not replace the contents of the operating instructions. Al-
though it can be used as a quick-start-guide we strongly advise to first read the
operating instructions in detail before you proceed.
• Check the contents of the package
• Connect the charging unit to the source of power.
• Charge the lipo-battery as described in the section "Charging the lipo-battery".
• Fit two AA batteries in the controller, making sure their polarity is correct.
• Look for a suitable environment for flying
• Link as described in .

• Repeat the above points as required, if you wish to fly more helicopters at
the same time.
• Check the control system
• Make yourself familiar with the control system
• Trim the helicopter as necessary as described under "Controlling the helicop-
ter", so that when hovering the helicopter no longer moves from the spot,
until given a command by the controller.
• Press the button 7 to start the helicopter (Figure
• The helicopter is now ready to be flown.
• If the helicopter displays no functions, retry the above binding procedure.
• Fly the model
• Land the model
• Switch the model off at the ON/OFF switch
• Always switch off the remote control last

Controlling the helicopter
In case you don´t know the control functions of your Carrera RC helicopter
8
yet, please take 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). 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 de-
scending by carefully moving the throttle upwards and downwards. The right-
hand joystick can be used, without using the left-hand joystick, to fly forwards/
backwards or in a circle at the same flying height.
Move the right lever (tail) to the left and the helicopter's nose turns (yaws)
9
round the main rotor's axis in 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
10
backward. When shifting the lever forward the nose of the helicopter will
move downwards and the helicopter will fly forward. When shifting the for-
ward-/backward lever backward the helicopter will move backwards and the
helicopter will fly backward.
Choosing the flight area
The helicopter can only be flown outdoors when there is little or no
11
wind. Please be aware that, although it may be calm on the ground, it
may still be very windy even a little way off the ground. If this warning is
disregarded, it may lead to total loss of the helicopter.
After having trimmed your helicopter for flight and having made your-
12
self familiar with the controlling and its functions you may start flying
in smaller and less open environments.
Automatic control of altitude
The Helicopter will maintain the current flying altitude automatically as
13
soon as you release the left-hand joystick during the flight. The right-hand
joystick can be used, without using the left-hand joystick, to fly forwards/back-
wards or in a circle at the same flying height.
Auto-Start & Fly to ≈ 1 m
Press the 'Auto-start & fly to ≈1 m' button on the controller, in order to start
14
the motors and automatically fly up to the altitude of about 1 m . You are
able to influence the direction of flight at any time during the starting operation
by means of moving the right joystick. The helicopter will maintain itself in po-
sition automatically as soon as the altitude of about 1 m has been reached.
Auto Landing
You can trigger the automatic landing function at any time by means of
15
pressing the 'Auto landing' button. The speed of the rotors will reduce
gradually as a result. You are able to influence the landing position at any time
during the landing procedure by means of moving the right-hand joystick. The
motor will switch itself off as soon as the helicopter is on the ground.
Trimming the helicopter
Auto-trimming
16
1. Place the helicopter on a horizontal surface.
2. Link the helicopter with the controller as described in "Linking the
model with the controller".
3. Slide the gas lever and the lever for forward / back simultane-
ously into the right lower corner. The LED on the helicopter flashes
on briefly and then lights up continuously. The signalling tone will
sound once.
4. The neutral setting is completed.
