Charge Errors And Indications; Installing The Transmitter Batteries - E-flight Blade SR RTF Airframe Instruction Manual

Charge Errors and Indications

In the event that both the red and green LEDs flash, a charge error has occurred. Some examples of charge errors and
their indications include:
• Alternating flashing of the red and green LEDs indicates that the charge process has been interrupted. If input
power to the charger has been interrupted due to disconnection from the power source or a drop in voltage/
current output from the power source, unplug the battery from the charger. Next, check to make sure that
the input power plug from the AC to 12V DC adapter/power supply is connected or that the alligator clips are
firmly and properly attached to the power source. Also be sure that the power source is providing the proper
amount of voltage and current required to the charger.
After confirming the connections and that the power source is delivering the necessary voltage and current,
restart the charging process by connecting the battery pack. Continue to monitor the charging process to
ensure that no further charge errors occur.
• Simultaneous flashing of the red and green LEDs indicate that the voltage of the Li-Po battery pack is too
low to allow the charging process to begin. In this case the battery may have been over-discharged due to
flying the model too long, or a single cell or even all cells in the battery pack may be damaged. (For more
information on preventing over-discharge of the Li-Po battery pack, see the Battery Warnings and Guidelines
section.)
If after several charging attempts you continue to see this charge error indication, you should remove the
battery pack from service and replace it with a new one.

Installing the Transmitter Batteries

Install the 4 included AA batteries in the transmitter. Check the power level of the batteries and operation of the
transmitter by switching the power switch on (upward). The LCD screen at the top of the transmitter will indicate the
power level of the batteries. If at any time the voltage indicated on the LCD screen falls to 4.5V or less, an alarm will
sound, and it will be necessary to replace the batteries with new ones.
Note: B ecause the HP6DSM transmitter included with the Blade SR is equipped with Spektrum 2.4GHz DSM2
technology, it does not require the same input voltage or current consumption as a typical 72MHz
transmitter for proper operation and optimum performance.

Installing the Flight Battery
Use the included hook and loop material for mounting the Li-Po battery pack. We suggest installing the loop (fuzzy)
material on the battery pack and the hook material on the battery support. You should also use the included hook and
loop battery strap for the most secure attachment of the battery to the helicopter.
