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 remote control). In case you try to charge the re-
chargeable battery with a different LiPo battery charger or
any other battery charger, this might cause serious damag-
es. Please carefully read the previous chapter about warn-
ings and guidelines on the usage of rechargeable batteries
before proceeding.
Charging via computer:
2
• 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.
If you plug in a helicopter with a discharged battery,
the LED on the USB charging cable does not light
up; this shows that the helicopter battery is being
charged. The USB charging cable and the charging
socket on the helicopter are designed to make incor-
rect connection impossible.
• It takes about 30 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, please
note the following: The green LED display does not nec-
essarily 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
3
and insert the batteries in 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 batter-
ies in the controller must be changed.
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 "Charg-
ing the lipo-battery".
• Fit four AA batteries in the controller, making sure their
polarity is correct.
• Look for a suitable environment for flying
• Switch on the model at the ON/OFF switch.
• Immediately after switching on, place the helicopter on
a on a level surface.
• Turn the remote control on at the ON/OFF switch. Push the
left-hand joystick, i.e. the throttle lever, fully downwards into
the zero position.
If the throttle lever is not pushed fully down, the control LED
will flash rhythmically. No bonding has been made.
• The LED in the helicopter now flashes in rhythmically-
accelerating sequence.
All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com
• Allow the helicopter a few moments until the system
is correctly initialised and is ready for operation. The LED
in the helicopter now lights continuously.
• 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 "Con-
trolling the helicopter", so that when hovering the helicopter
no longer moves from the spot, until given a command by
the controller.
• The helicopter is now ready to be flown.
• If the helicopter displays no functions, retry the above bind-
ing 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
6
your Carrera RC helicopter yet, please take some
minutes before the first flight in or to make your-
self 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 rota-
tional 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 heli-
copter will descend. When the model has lifted off
the ground you can get it into stationary hovering
without abrupt ascending or descending by care-
fully moving the throttle upwards and downwards.
Move the right lever (tail) to the left and the heli-
7
copter's nose turns (yaws) 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
8
helicopter´s pitch forward and backward. When
shifting the lever forward the nose of the helicop-
ter will move downwards and the helicopter will fly
forward. When shifting the forward-/backward le-
ver backward the helicopter will move backwards
and the helicopter will fly backward.
After having made yourself familiar with the main control
functions and having chosen an appropriate area for flying
the helicopter, you can start the first flight.
7
Choosing the flight area
When being prepared for the first flight you
9
should choose a closed room without any
persons or obstacles which is as big as pos-
sible. 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
3 x 3 metres and 2.40 metres of height. After
having trimmed your helicopter for flight and
having made yourself familiar with the control-
ling and its functions you may start flying in
smaller and less open environments.
The helicopter has exclusively been developed for indoor
use in closed rooms.
Troubleshooting
Problem: Remote control does not work.
Cause:
The ON/OFF-power switch is turned "OFF".
Solution: Turn the ON/OFF-power switch "ON".
Cause:
The batteries have been wrongly inserted.
Solution: Check if the batteries have been correctly inserted.
Cause:
The batteries do not have enough power.
Solution: Insert new batteries.
Problem: The helicopter cannot be controlled with the remo-
te control
Cause:
The power switch on the reomote control is turned
"OFF".
Solution: First turn the power switch on the remote control
"ON".
Cause:
The remote control is possibly not correctly fre-
quency bound with the receiver on the helicopter.
Solution: Please carry out the binding procedure as de-
scribed in „Checklist for flight preparation", if ne-
cessary using a different channel (A/B/C) on the
controller.
Problem: The rotor blades do not rotate.
Cause:
The power switch on the model or the controller is
at "OFF"
Solution: Turn the ON/OFF-power switch "ON".
Cause:
The rechargeable battery is too weak or has run
out of power.
Solution: Charge the battery (see chapter "Charging the
battery").
Problem: The helicopter does not lift.
Cause:
The rotor blades rotate too slowly.
Solution: Push the throttle up.
Cause:
The battery´s power is not sufficient.
Solution: Charge the battery (see chapter "Charging the
battery").
Problem: During flight, the helicopter loses speed and
height without any obvious reason.
Cause:
The battery is too weak.
Solution: Charge the battery (see chapter "Charging the bat-
tery").
Problem: The helicopter lands too quickly.
Cause:
Loss of throttle control.
Solution: Push the throttle down slowly.
Cause:
Throttle has been pushed down too quickly.
