Charging via computer:
2a
• Rechargeable batteries are to be removed from the model before being
charged.
• 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. When you connect an empty recharge-
able battery, the LED on the USB charger cable goes off and indicates that
the battery is being charged. The USB charger cable is so designed that
reversed polarity is not possible.
• It takes about 80 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.
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!
Insertion of the rechargeable batteries into the helicopter
2b
Open the cover of the battery compartment with the aid of the enclosed
screwdriver. Insert the battery. Close the battery compartment.
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.
Although 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 AAA batteries in the controller, making sure their polarity is correct.
• Look for a suitable environment for flying
• Link as described in
4
.
• 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,
ENGLISH
until given a command by the controller.
• Press the right joystick vertically
• 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
7
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 re-
duce 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 up-
wards and downwards.
Move the right lever (tail) to the left and the helicopter's nose turns (yaws)
8
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
9
backward. When shifting the lever 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
10
room without any persons 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 strongly recommend to choose a room with a minimum floor
space of 5 x 6 metres and 2.40 metres of height. After having trimmed
your helicopter for flight and having made yourself familiar with the con-
trolling and its functions you may start flying in smaller and less open
environments.
This toy is intended to be used in domestic area (house and garden)
only.
Auto Take off
/ Auto Landing
Push the joystick vertically
11 12
"Auto Take off" / "Auto Landing". You are able to influence the direc-
tion of flight at any time during the starting operation by means of moving the
right joystick. The helicopter will maintain itself in position automatically as
soon as the altitude of about 1 m has been reached. You can trigger the auto-
matic landing function at any time by means of 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.
