Preparation Up to the Day Before

Recharging and Replacing Flight Transmitter Battery

Make sure to use a fully charged battery for
the flight. Using an insufficiently charged
battery could render the helicopter out of
control.
Recharging the Battery
Make sure to use the dedicated battery recharger
for the transmitter, and recharge the battery as fol-
lows:
1 Check that the power switch for the transmitter is
turned OFF.
2 Remove the plug from the charging jack.
3 Insert the recharger plug into the charging jack
on the back of the transmitter.
4 Insert the power cord for the electrical trans-
former (AC 240V → AC 100V) into a power out-
let.
5 Insert the recharger into the electrical trans-
former.
6 The pilot lamp on the recharger illuminates to
indicate that the battery is being recharged.
The charging temperature range, recharging time,
and duration of use of the battery are as follows.
Charging temperature range: 0-40 °C
Recharging time: 14-16 hours
Duration of use: 2.1-3.3 hours
7 After the battery has been recharged, make sure
to install the plug into the charging jack.
8 The battery monitor function indicates the bat-
tery's charge status and will alert the operator
during flight if the battery must be replaced. (See
page P3-11.)
The dedicated recharger has been designed
for use with AC 100V power outlets.
If the recharger is mistakenly connected
directly to an AC 240V power outlet, the
recharger and the transmitter could be dam-
aged. Therefore, use an electrical trans-
former (AC 240V → AC 100V) that conforms
to Australian standards when recharging the
battery.
