Important information concerning Lithium Polymer rechargeable batteries
Lithium-Polymer (LiPo) rechargeable batteries are significantly more sensitive than traditional 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, disused 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 correct disposal of used
batteries and disused electrical equipment. Batteries and disused electrical equip-
ment should be handed in to the usual collection points where they can be properly recycled. Do not mix dissim-
ilar battery types or employ new and used batteries together. Empty batteries should be removed from the
product. Do not recharge non-recharge able batteries due to risk of explosion. Batteries are to be inserted with
the correct polarity.

Guidelines and warnings for the use of LiPo rechargeable batteries
• You have to charge the attached 7.4 V
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
0
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
UAS class
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. The LED on the USB charging cable
flashes rhythmically, indicating that the charging unit is properly connected to the computer. When you plug
in an empty battery, the LED on the USB charging cable lights up continuously, indicating that the battery is
being charged. The USB charger cable is so designed that reversed polarity is not possible.
• It takes about 90 minutes to recharge a discharged battery (but NOT a deep-discharged one). As soon as
the battery is fully charged, the LED on the USB charging cable is no longer lighting up.
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 pow-
er-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.
• 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.
