ishing the flight and recharging the battery. Recharge
the battery occasionally (suggested every 2-3 months).
Failure to treat the battery as described above can lead
to its becoming defective.
• W hen transporting or temporarily storing the rechargeable
battery the temperature should be between 5-50°C. If pos-
sible, 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 mo-
ment to end the flight.

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
• C onnect 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 bat-
tery, 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 incorrect connection impossible.
• I t 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, a green
LED display indicates that there is still power in the bat-
tery. The green LED display does not necessarily indi-
cate 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.
Frequency bind between model
and remote control
The Carrera RC helicopter and the remote control
4
are frequency bound at 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.
• R emove the model from its presentation plinth.
• S witch on the model at the ON/OFF switch.
• T he LED in the helicopter now flashes in rhyth-
mically-accelerating sequence.
• S lide the left joystick completely down. Switch on
the controller at the ON/OFF switch. The bond
will take place automatically. While connecting,
the controller emits a signal tone.
• H old the model so that the rotor blades are hori-
zontal.
• A llow the helicopter a few moments until the
system is correctly initialised and is ready for
operation.
• T he control LED now lights continuously once
again, indicating that the connection is ended.
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 two AAA batteries in the controller, making sure their
polarity is correct.
• Look for a suitable environment for flying
• Proceed 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
• S tart the helicopter from one hand. At the same time, hold
the controller in the other hand so that you can take over
control of the helicopter immediately.
WARNING! THE MODEL FLIES FORWARDS BY ITSELF
AND CAN ONLY BE CONTROLLED IN HEIGHT AND
DIRECTION
• Make yourself familiar with the control system
• Trim the helicopter as necessary as described under "Con-
trolling the helicopter".
• 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 (3 sec.).
• Always switch off the remote control last

Controlling the helicopter
In case you don´t know the control functions of
7
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-
8
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 heli-
copter'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 hov-
ering, without moving the right lever (tail).
WARNING! THE MODEL FLIES FORWARDS

BY ITSELF AND CAN ONLY BE CONTROLLED
IN HEIGHT AND DIRECTION
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.
Choosing the flight area
When being prepared for the first flight you
10
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
5 x 6 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.
This toy is intended to be used in domestic
area (indoor) only.
