Charging Warnings

The Battery Charger (EFLC1013) included with your
quadcopter has been designed to safely charge the Li-Po
battery.
CAUTION: All instructions and warnings must be
followed exactly. Mishandling of Li-Po batteries can
result in a fi re, personal injury and/or property damage.
• By handling, charging or using the included Li-Po battery,
you assume all risks associated with lithium batteries.
• If at any time the battery begins to balloon or swell,
discontinue use immediately. If charging or discharging,
discontinue and disconnect. Continuing to use, charge or
discharge a battery that is ballooning or swelling can result
in fi re.
• Always store the battery at room temperature in a dry area
for best results.
• Always transport or temporarily store the battery in a tem-
perature range of 40–120º F (5–49° C). Do not store battery
or model in a car or direct sunlight. If stored in a hot car, the
battery can be damaged or even catch fi re.

and are not damaged. Look at the battery to make sure it
is not damaged e.g., swollen, bent, broken or punctured.
1. Insert the charger into a USB port.
2. Properly connect the battery to the charger lead.
3. Always disconnect the fl ight battery from the charger immediately upon completion of charging.
CAUTION: Only use chargers specifi cally designed to charge the included Li-Po battery. Failure to do so could result
in fi re, causing injury or property damage.
CAUTION: Never exceed the recommended charge rate.
