10. Charging the Flight Battery
The flight battery is charged with the remote control
transmitter.
For this, push the triangle of the charging chute flap (1)
on the back of the transmitter and push the flap open
towards the right.
Then push the flight battery (2) into the charging chute to
the stop from the right. The two guide rails of the battery
(3) must point up so that the battery is connected in the
correct polarity.
When the battery was pushed into the charging chute
correctly and the plug connector of the battery (4) has
establishes a contact in the charging chute, the charge
control lamp (see figure 1, item 10) lights up and signals
correct charging.
When the charge control lamp goes out after about
40 minutes, charging is completed and the battery must
be removed from the charge cable. Then push the char-
ging chute lid open again and let the locking tab latch.
The transmitter does not have to be switched on for charging. If the transmitter batteries grow too weak
for proper charging, the charge control lamp will grow dimmer. You may switch on the transmitter briefly
during charging for test purposes. If the red function control lamp flashes and the transmitter issues warning
sounds in a quick sequence, the batteries are already too weak for proper charging of the flight battery.
Charging duration depends on the remaining charge of the flight battery and the quality or residual capacity
of the transmitter batteries used; it may therefore vary strongly.
Caution, important!
Remove the charged battery from the charging chute without delay and do not leave it in the chute for an
unnecessarily long time!
Charge the flight battery only with the help of the remote control transmitter and do not use any chargers that
are not suitable for single-cell LiPo batteries.
Charging will only start for rechargeable batteries with a remaining capacity of less than 90%.
