1-Cell 3.7V Rate 0.3A DC Li-Po Charger
(EFLC1000) Instructions:
1. Charge only batteries that are cool to the touch and
are not damaged. Look at the battery to make sure
it is not damaged e.g., swollen, bent, broken or
punctured.
2. Remove the cover on the bottom of the charger and
install four of the included AA batteries, noting proper
polarity. Replace the cover after the AA batteries are
installed.
3. Slide the battery into the slot on the charger. The end
cap of the battery is specifi cally designed to allow
the battery to fi t
into the slot one
way (usually with
the label on the
battery facing
outward) to
prevent reverse
polarity connec-
tion. However,
check for proper
alignment and
polarity before
proceeding to the
next step.
First Flight Preparation

6. Charging a fully discharged (not over-discharged)
150mAh battery takes approximately 20–30
minutes. As the battery nears full charge, the LED
begins to blink.
7. When the battery is fully charged, the LED blinks
approximately every 20 seconds or goes out entirely.
If the LED stays on when the battery is removed,
the AA batteries in the charger are low.
8. Always remove the battery from the charger immedi-
ately upon completion of charging.

operation (AA batteries): only use alkaline AA batteries
to power the charger. Do not use rechargable AA bat-
