*Only charge the battery with the in built Transmitter charger. Always carefully follow the charging instructions as described below.
* Do not over-discharge or over-charge the battery.
* Do not short-circuit, drop impact or penetrate/pierce the battery.
* Do not put the battery in a re or near heat.
* Store the battery in cool dry place and out of the reach of children. Transmitter Cautions:
* Always use of the same brand alkaline AA batteries. Do not mix brands or types of batteries.
* Do not attempt to charge alkaline non-rechargeable batteries.
* Rechargeable batteries should be charged under adult supervision. Notes for Adults:
* Examine the RoboCopter carefully for any possible damage prior to every ight. Do not attempt to y until all damage has been repaired.
* Adult supervision is required when a child is charging the battery in the RoboCopter or installing/replacing the batteries in the transmitter. Special Caution: Do not touch the PCB (receiver) on your RoboCopter with anything, especially metal, to avoid any unnecessary damage. This is not a consumer serviceable item. Notes for Maintenance:
*Remove the transmitter batteries if you are not going to use this product for a long time.
*Clean the transmitters surface with a dry soft cloth if it is dirty. DO NOT use any water or spray cleaner on the transmitter.
*Store this product in a cool dry place.
*Replace the batteries in the transmitter when you hear the low battery alarm (beeping sound). If you do not replace the batteries in time, you could lose control of your RoboCopter or crash it. Main parts:

Transmitter battery installation:
Open coverInstall 4*Batteries (Check polarity)Close cover Charging the flight battery with the transmitter:
Open the coverCharge SocketConnect transmitter charge plug to socket (Match Red dot to Red dot) Charging your RoboCopter:
The RoboCopters charger has unique peak detection circuitry that ensures an accurate charge every time and protects your battery from the dangers of over charging. During the charge cycle it continually monitors the batterys charge curve and automatically stops charging when the peak/full charge is detected. 1.Make sure the transmitter and RoboCopter power switches are turned OFF before charging. 2. Plug the transmitter charge lead (found in the bottom of the transmitter) into the charging port on the RoboCopter. Match the Red Dot on the charging plug to the Red Dot on the RoboCopter charge socket (see picture opposite). 3. The LED indicator on the transmitter will glow Solid when the battery is being charged and then Flash when the battery is close to full. The LED will Go Out when battery is fully charged. Lifting off for the first flight:
1. Pull the throttle stick down to the bottom of its travel and then turn ON the transmitter. 2. Keeping everything clear from the rotors turn ON the RoboCopter power switch. The rotor will pulse once. 3. Place the RoboCopter on a smooth surface with the tail pointing towards you. 4. Quickly push the throttle stick up to just over half way, the main rotor will spin up and Robocoper will take off. Climb meters high and hold at that height. Remember only small, smooth movements of the throttle stick are required. Making Flight Adjustments - Trimming: (RoboCopter turns left or right) 5. Once in the air if you notice that your RoboCopter wants to wander/turn to the left or right on its own, some trim adjustments may be necessary. The steering trims make small adjustments direction RoboCopter is turning. Turns right - Trim left. Turns left - Trim right. to RoboCopters direction. If the nose (front) turns right press the opposite trim to theTurns right Turns left Trim right Trim left Flight control: For smooth control of RoboCopter always make small control movements. Gaining or losing height: When your RoboCopter is stable in the air, gently push/pull the throttlestick up/down to make it y higher/lower. Turning left and right: After you are proficient in controlling the ying height of your RoboCopter, try turning left/right by moving the steering stick to the same direction. The RoboCopter has a balance weight on the carbonboom to adjust the ight speed. The recommended position at the rear is for slowest forward speed. As you become more experienced slide the adjuster progressively towards the front to increase the forward flight speed. Flight Tips:
*The RoboCopter will speed up/gain height turning right and slow down/lose height when turning left.
*For ground take off, put the RoboCopter on a smooth surface and quickly push the throttle stick up to lift off. Flying from rough ground may result in a clumsy take off or even cause the RoboCopter to fall over.
*Do not look at the transmitter when ying focus completely on the RoboCopter.
*RoboCopter is recommended for indoor ight only. Close windows and turn off airconditioning to maximize control and stability. Because RoboCopter is so light weight if you y over a chair or a table the reected air draft from the object can destabilizeRoboCopter.It is a fault, different surfaces will effect the ight characteristics.
*Please ensure you have enough space to y your RoboCopter. (4x5x3 meter minimum is recommended)
*After each ight, rest the ight battery for 1 minute prior to recharging in order to extend the battery life. This time will allow the battery to cool down before recharging. RoboCopter Turned on Alarm:
*Always turn off the RoboCopter before turn off the Transmitter.
*If the transmitter is turn off and the RoboCopter left turned on the red control Led will start to ash. After 30 second the RoboCopter will start to make a Beeping sound and the rotor blades will pulse. Immediately turn off the transmitter to avoid over discharging the in built Li Poly battery. Warnings and Safety:
*Never y near people, pets or furniture.
*When ying the RoboCopter ensure you are a safe distance from any people.
*Adult supervision is recommended for ages 12 and under.
*Keep the main rotors away from clothing or body parts even when not rotating as they could be turned on by accident. Binding procedure for 2.4G radio:
The RoboCopter utilizes advanced 2.4Ghz radio control technology which requires a binding procedure prior to ying if the original transmitter or RoboCopter is lost/broken and replaced with a new one. Please note: The RoboCopter and transmitter set sold together in the box were already bound to each other by the manufacturer. There is no need to bind RoboCopter and transmitter together prior to use. With the RoboCopter and transmitter turned off press down the left steering trim button and then holding it down turn on the transmitter. Next release the left steering trim and you will hear a string of beeps be~be~be~be~. While the transmitter is beeping turn on the RoboCopter, wait for 2 seconds, then move the steering stick to one side. The beeping will stop and the binding procedure is complete when the red LED indicator on the receiver board glows solidly. The rotor may also pulse once. Troubleshooting:
Problem Possible Cause Solution 1. Transmitter AA batteries are depleted or 1. Check polarity installation or Unit does not operate installed incorrectly as indicated by the replace with fresh "AA"
batteries Low-battery alarm 2. RoboCopter battery is not charged 2. Fully charge the battery 3. A crash has damaged the RoboCopter 3. Replace the RoboCopter 4. RoboCopter is not turned on 4. Turn on the RoboCopter RoboCopter won't lift Running out of ight battery Recharge battery Loss of control Running out of transmitter battery Replace transmitter battery Please keep this Instruction Manual for future reference.
