b) Charging the flight battery of the quadrocopter
The quadrocopter can be charged via charging electronics integrated into the transmitter. For this, open the flap
(figure 3, item 8) on the top of the transmitter and connect the charging cable to the quadrocopter. The function LED
at the transmitter (see figure 3, item 2) lights up green and displays the start of charging. If this LED goes out, the
rechargeable battery must be charged completely in the quadrocopter.
Alternatively, the flight battery can also be charged with the USB charger using a USB mains adapter/USB cigarette
lighter adapter (neither enclosed, can be ordered separately) (5 V/DC, min. 1 A).
Attention!
Do not use any computer or notebook USB port to connect power to the USB charger because it may be
damaged. USB2.0 ports also usually are limited to a current of max. 500 mA (USB3.0 = 900 mA).
Do not connect the USB cable to a USB hub without a separate mains adapter (e.g. a keyboard USB port,
etc.), because these will not provide sufficient current for charging.
Connect the plug-in charger of the USB charging cable (1) to the charging connection at the rear of the quadrocopter
(2) according to figure 2.
The guide groove (see arrow) of the plug connector (1) must point up at connection so that it can fit into the
cut-out at the quadrocopter housing (3). Do not use any force for connection of plug.
Once the USB plug of the charging cable is connected, e.g., to a USB mains unit, and this is connected to the mains
voltage, charging commences automatically.
The red charging control LED in the USB plug is lit and thus signals charging to you. When charging is completed and
the flight battery is fully charged, the red LED in the USB plug goes out.
Disconnect the quadrocopter from the charging cable at once after charging and pull the USB plug of the charging
cable from the USB mains adapter or USB cigarette lighter adapter.
