Recharging the LiPo rechargeable
battery
Make sure you only charge the LiPo rechargeable battery
supplied with the LiPo charging unit also supplied (USB
cable and remot e contr ol). In case you try to c harge the re-
chargeable battery with a different LiPo battery charger or
any other batt er y charger , this might cause serious damag-
es. Please carefull y read the pr evious chapt er about warn-
ings and guidelines on the usage of rechargeable batteries
before proceeding.

Charging at the mains socket
• Connect the USB charging cable to the USB
mains adapter. As soon as you connect the
charger unit with the mains socket, the LED on
the USB charging cable lights up green indicating
that the charger unit is correctly connected with
the mains socket.
If you plug in a helicop ter with a discharged bat-
tery, the LED on the USB charging cable lights up
red and shows that the helicopter battery is being
charged. The USB charging cable and the charg-
ing socke t on the helicopter ar e designed t o make
incorrect connection impossible.
• It takes about 80 minut es to recharge a dis-
charged batter y (but NOT a deep-discharged
one). When the battery is fully charged, the LED
display on the USB charger cable lights up gr een
again.

Charging via computer:
• 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 comput er .
If you plug in a helicop ter with a discharged bat-
tery, the LED on the USB charging cable lights up
red and shows that the helicopter battery is being
charged.
The USB charging cable and the charging socket
on the helicop ter ar e designed to make incor rect
connection impossible.
• It takes about 80 minut es to recharge a dis-
charged batter y (but NOT a deep-discharged
one).When the batter y is fully charged, the LED
display on the USB charger cable lights up gr een
again.
Note: When supplied, the lipo-batt ery is already par tiall y
charged so the first charging cycle ma y well take less time.
It is essential to follow the connection sequence given
above! If y ou have t he c harger cable only connect ed t o
the helicopter , and not t o a source of electr icity, a green
LED display indicat es that there is still power in the bat-
tery. The green LED displa y does not necessarily indi-
cate the battery is still adequately charged.
While charging, the power switch must be in the “OFF”
position. Undo the plugged connection on the helicop-
ter if you are not going to use the helicop ter. Failure t o
observe this precaution may cause battery damage!
Inserting the batteries in the
remote control
4
Open the battery compartment with a screwdriv er
and insert the batteries in the remote control.
Please k eep in mind the correct polarity . After
having closed the compartment you can check all
functions of the r emote contr ol with the help of the
power -switch on the front. With the power-switch
turned ON and pr oper functioning, the top center
LED on the remote control will light up r ed.
When the control LED flashes r apidly , the batter-
ies in the controller must be changed.
F requency bind between model
and remote control

The Carr era RC helicop ter and the remote contr ol
are frequency bound at purchase. Should there
occur any problems with the communication be-
tween the Car rera RC helicopter and the r emote
control at the beginning, please carry out a new
frequency bind.
• Connect the plug-in connection at the mod-
el and switch on the model at the ON/OFF
switch.
• The LED in the helicopter now flashes in rhyth-
mically-accelerating sequence.
•
Switch on the contr oller at the ON/OFF switch.
While connecting, the contr oller emits a signal t one.
• Place the charged helicopter on a flat surface.
• Allow the helicop ter a f ew moments until the
system is corr ectly initialised and is ready for
operation.
• The control LED now lights continuously once
again, indicating that the connection is ended.
Checklist for flight preparation
This checklist does not r eplace the contents of the operating
instructions. Although it can be used as a quick -start-guide
we s trongly advise to first read the operating instructions in
detail before y ou proceed.
• Check the cont ents of the package
• Connect the charging unit t o the source of power .
• Charge the lipo-batt ery as described in the section “Charg-
ing the lipo-battery”. In order to fly after charging, make the
plugged connection to be found on the helicopter .
• F it four AA batteries in the controller , making sure their po-
larity is correct.
• Look f or a suitable environment for flying
• Place the helicopt er on a flat surface
• Switch on the model at the ON/OFF swit ch.
• T ur n the remot e control on at the ON/OFF switch.
• The LED in the helicopter no w flashes in rh ythmically-
accelerating sequence.
• During the binding process, the controller emits an acous-
tic signal.
• Allo w the helicopter a few moments until the system is cor-
rectly initialised and is r eady for operation. The LED in the
helicopter now lights continuously .
• R epeat the abov e points as required, if you wish to fly more
helicopters at the same time.
• Check the contr ol system
• Mak e yourself familiar with the control sy stem
• T rim the helicopter as necessary as described under “Con-
trolling the helicopter”, so that when ho vering the helicopter
no long er mo ves from the spot, until giv en a command by
the controller .
• The helicopt er is now ready to be flown.
•
If the helicopter displa ys no functions, r etry the above bind-
ing procedure.

Controlling the helicopter
8
In case y ou don´t know the contr ol functions of
your Carrera RC helicopter yet, please tak e some
minutes befor e the first flight in or to make y our-
self familiar with them. The descriptions left or
right refer to the vie w out of the cockpit (pilote´s
view). Push the throttle up to increase the rota-
tional speed of the main rot or blades. Increase the
rotational speed of the main rotor blades and the
model will start to ascend.
If you push do wn the throttle and thus reduce the
rotational speed of the main r otor blades the heli-
copter will descend. When the model has lifted off
the ground y ou can g et it int o s tationary ho vering
without abrup t ascending or descending by care-
fully moving the throttle upw ards and downwards.
9
Mov e the right lever (tail) to the left and
the helicopter’s nose turns (ya ws) round
the main rotor’s axis in a circle to the left.
Move the right lever (tail) to the right and the heli-
copter’s nose turns (y aws) round the main rotor’s
axis in a circle to the right.
Use the trimmer for tail until you ha ve reached a
stable neutral position of the helicopter when hov-
ering, without moving the right lev er (tail).
10
The f orward-/backward le ver contr ols the
helicopter´s pit ch forward and backward. When
shifting the lev er f orward the nose of the helicop-
ter will move downwards and the helicopt er will fly
forward. When shif ting the forward-/backw ard le-
ver backward the helicopter will mo ve backwards
and the helicopter will fly backward.
After having made yourself f amiliar with the main control
functions and having chosen an appr opriate area for flying
the helicopter , you can s tart the fir s t flight.
Choosing the flight area
11
When being prepared for the first flight you
should choose a closed room without any
persons or obs tacles which is as big as pos-
sible. Due to the size and contr ollability of the
helicopter experienced pilo tes ma y be able to
fly the helicopter in relatively small rooms. For
your fir st flights we strongly recommend to
choose a room with a minimum floor space of
3 x 4 metres and 2.40 me tres of height. After
having trimmed y our helicopter f or flight and
having made yourself familiar with the control-
ling and its functions you may start flying in
smaller and less open environments.
12
The helicopter may be flo wn out of doors, but
only on calm day s or days of v ery little wind.
Please no te t hat in spite of calm conditions
near the ground, it can be very windy a little
further from the ground.
If this advice is disregarded, the helicopter
may suffer irreparable damage.
