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 Quadrocopter when you are not using the Quadrocopter. Failure
to observe this precaution may cause battery damage!
Insertion of the rechargeable batteries into the Quadrocopter
2b
• Open the cover of the battery compartment with the aid of the enclosed screwdriver. Insert the battery.
Close the battery compartment.
• If the LED on the Quadrocopter flashes slowly, you must change the battery.
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. Different types of batteries or new and used batteries are not to be
mixed. 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 functioning correctly, the top centre LED
on the remote control will light up red. If the LED control flashes slowly and an acoustic signal is heard, the
batteries in the controller must be changed.
Frequency bind between model and remote control
The Carrera RC Quadrocopter and the controller automatically link up renewed with every operational
4
start-up. If initially there are any problems with communication between the Carrera RC Quadrocopter
and the remote control, please carry out a new frequency bind.
• Connect the battery in the model.
• The LEDs on the quadrocopter now flash rhythmically.
• Switch on the controller at the power switch.
• WARNING! Immediately after switching it on, place the Quadrocopter on 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.

Choosing the flight area
When being prepared for the first flight you should choose a closed room which is as large as
8
possible without any persons or obstacles. Due to its size and controllability, experienced pilots
may be able to fly the Quadrocopter in relatively small rooms. For your first flights we strongly recom-
mend you choose a room with a minimum floor space of 5 x 5 metres and 2.40 metres in height. After
having trimmed your Quadrocopter for flight and made yourself familiar with the controller and its
functions you may start flying in smaller and less open environments.
To be used in domestic area (house and garden) only.

Checklist for flight preparation
This checklist is not a substitute for the contents of the operating instructions. Although it can be used as a quick-
start-guide, we strongly recommend you first to read the operating instructions in detail before you proceed.
• Check the contents of the package.
• Charge the lipo-battery as described in the section "Recharging the LiPo rechargeable battery".
• Fit 2 AA batteries in the controller, making sure their polarity is correct.
• Look for a suitable environment for flying.
• Slide the battery into the battery bay on the bottom of the Quadrocopter.
• Connect the battery in the model.

Flying the 4-channel Quadrocopter
NOTE!
Take care particularly in the first few flights to move the lever on the controller very gently and not
over-hurriedly. As a rule, only very small movements of the respective levers are necessary to carry
out the desired control commands!
If you notice that the Quadrocopter moves forwards or to the side without your touching the respective lever,
please adjust the trim of the Quadrocopter as described in
+/- Gas (up / down)

To fly higher, push the gas lever on the left cautiously forwards. To land or fly lower, push the gas lever
on the left cautiously backwards.
To make the Quadrocopter circle to the left or the right on the spot, move the lever on the left cautiously
10
to the left or the right.
To fly the Quadrocopter to the left or the right, push the lever on the right cautiously to the left or the right.

To fly the Quadrocopter forwards or backwards, push the lever on the right cautiously forwards or backwards.

Looping function
WARNING! ONLY FOR EXPERIENCED PILOTS!
If you press the "Looping Button", then an acoustic signal sounds 5x times. As long as the acoustic
13a
signal sounds, slide the right-hand joystick up, down, to the right or to the left. The Quadrocopter then
carries out the loop or roll in the respective direction. Before you do this, make sure you have ample room on
all sides (about 2.5 m – 8').
Beginner/Advanced switch
WARNING! 100 % IS ONLY FOR EXPERIENCED PILOTS!
30% = beginner mode
13b
Signal sounds once on switching over.
60% = medium mode
The quadrocopter reacts more sensitively than in 30 % mode. Signal sounds twice on switching over.
100% = Advanced Modus -> 3D Modus
The Quadrocopter reacts very sensitively to joystick movements. Signal sounds three times on switching over.
Headless Mode
The headless mode helps beginners learn how to fly. Regardless of which direction the Quadrocopter is
13c
rotated, the flight direction always corresponds exactly to the flight direction implemented on the control-
ler. Therefore a beginner no longer has to steer mirror-imaged when he flies e.g. to himself. If you press the
"Headless Mode Button"
, an acoustic signal sounds for as long as you are in the Headless mode. To
deactivate the Headless mode, press the button renewed.
Automatic control of altitude
The Quadrocopter will maintain the current flying altitude automatically as soon as you release the left-
14
hand joystick during the flight. The right-hand joystick can be used to fly forwards/backwards and left/
right at the same height. The left-hand joystick is used to circle on the spot with a left/right-hand movement.
Auto-Start & Fly to ≈1 m
Press the 'Auto-start & fly to ≈1 m' button on the controller, in order to start the motors and automatical-
15
ly 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 Quadrocopter will maintain itself in position
automatically as soon as the altitude of about 1 m has been reached. The flying height can be changed ma-
nually at any time by moving the left-hand joystick forwards (increase height) or backwards (reduce height).
Auto Landing
You can trigger the automatic landing function at any time by means of pressing the 'Auto landing' but-
16
ton. The speed of the rotors will reduce gradually as a result. You are able to influence the landing posi-
tion 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 Quadrocopter is on the ground.
Trimming the Quadrocopter
Auto-trimming
17
1. Place the Quadrocopter on a horizontal surface.
2. Link the Quadrocopter with the controller as described in "Linking the model with the controller".
3. Slide the gas lever and the lever for forward / back simultaneously into the right lower corner.
The LED on the Quadrocopter flashes on briefly and then lights up continuously. The signalling
tone will sound once.
4. The neutral setting is completed.
When hovering, if the Quadrocopter flies to the left or right without you moving the lever for left / right
18
movement, please proceed as follows: If the Quadrocopter moves on its own fast or slow sideways to
the left, press the lower right trimmer for right / left tilt in steps to the right. If the Quadrocopter moves right,
press the trimmer for right / left tilt in steps to the left.
When hovering, if the Quadrocopter flies forwards or backwards without you moving the lever for for-
19
wards or backwards movement, please proceed as follows: If the Quadrocopter moves on its own fast
or slow forwards, press the upper right trimmer for forwards / backwards in steps downwards. If the Quadro-
copter moves backwards, press the trimmer for forwards / backwards in steps upwards.
Return aid
Make sure there are no obstructions in the flight path and that there is no wind! WARNING: the
20
model is NOT equipped with a GPS system!
As long as this button is pressed, the quadrocopter returns back in the direction of the pilot, regardless of
how it is positioned.
WARNING! Only functions if the quadrocopter is in front of the pilot.
Changing the rotor blades
Use a smooth narrow object to help draw off a rotor blade if necessary. Make sure that you draw the
21
rotor blade with great care vertically upwards, and hold the motor from below to stabilise it.
