The following table shows the approved battery types with their nominal voltage. It also shows
the associated flashing codes (green) of the LEDs (BAT1 and / or BAT2) and the warning
thresholds.
Flashing code Battery type
2x flashes
4x flashes
5x flashes
6x flashes

This threshold is activated five seconds after switching on: the green LEDs flash when the vol-
tage falls below this threshold. This indicator is not stored, i.e. it is only displayed as long as the
battery voltage lies below the threshold.
--> Do not fly again.
--> Charge the battery.
--> If you are already flying, land the model as soon as possible.
Low voltage
Low voltage
This threshold is activated immediately after the unit is switched on: directly after the flashing
code indicating the battery type, the LEDs flash red / green if the voltage is below this threshold.
If the voltage remains below the threshold for more than four seconds, the LED changes to a
constant red. These indicators are stored, i.e. they are triggered as soon as the battery voltage
falls below the appropriate threshold, and persists even if the voltage rises above the threshold
again. This is intended to indicate to the operator that at least one voltage collapse has occurred,
possibly due to batteries which are not "fit for purpose".
--> Do not fly again.
--> Charge the battery.
--> If you are already flying, land the model immediately.
CAUTION
When selecting your batteries it is essential to choose types of suitable
capacity and quality, depending on the number and type of servos con-
nected to the unit.
