HELICOPTER AND REMOTE CONTROL PARTS

BATTERY INSTALLATION

Before beginning, an adult must install fresh alkaline batteries. Here's how:

1. Using a Phillips screwdriver (not included), remove the screw and battery compartment cover located on the back of the remote control.
2. Install six (6) fresh 1.5V AA (LR6) alkaline batteries (not included), making sure the (+) and (-) ends face the proper direction as indicated inside the battery compartment.
3. Replace the compartment cover and tighten the screw.

CHARGING THE HELICOPTER

1. Take out the charging cable from the side of the remote control.
   
2. Turn the helicopter OFF (O/ ) and insert the cable into the charging station under the helicopter.
   I = ON
   O = OFF
   
3. Turn ON (I / ) the remote control. The light on the remote will flash in red. It will turn green when it is fully charged. Unplug the charging cable and replace the cord in the unit.
   

NOTE: If the power indicator on the remote control is alternating between green and red, then the battery power is low. Follow the instructions under "Battery Installation" to replace the batteries.

PAIRING HELICOPTER AND REMOTE CONTROL

Before beginning, the helicopter and remote control will need to be paired. Here's how:

1. Turn the helicopter on (I). The lights on the front will flash.
   
2. Turn the remote control on (I / ). The light on the front will begin to flash. Once it is paired, it will stop flashing.
   

CALIBRATE SENSOR

If playing for the first time or if it hasn't been played for a long period of time, the sensor will need to be calibrated.

1. After turning on, place the remote control on a at surface near the helicopter.
   
2. Hold down the LANDING and TAKE OFF buttons until the green light flashes. Release the buttons and the light will stop flashing.
   

FLYING LESSONS

HELPFUL FLYING TIPS

• If the helicopter crashes, switch the remote control and the helicopter to the OFF positions. Carefully check that no damage was done to the helicopter in the crash before turning the unit on again.
• For best results, use the helicopter away from bright lights to ensure the receiver can detect the remote control.
• Do not cover the sensor on the helicopter.
• Keep the remote control within 15 feet (5 meters) of the helicopter to avoid loss of reception.

If the helicopter crashes, press and hold the LANDING button, or press the LANDING and TAKE OFF buttons at the same time to stop the propellers. Turn the helicopter and remote control off. Examine the helicopter for any damage before switching it on and flying again.

1. Place the helicopter on a flat surface and stand three feet away with the remote control at an upward position in front of you.
   
   
2. Press the TAKE OFF button to make the helicopter fly upward to height level 1.
   
   
3. Press the button again to elevate the helicopter to height level 2, and then it will go back to height level 1 after five (5) seconds.
   
4. Press the LANDING button once to make the helicopter fly downward as well as land. Press and hold the button for two seconds for an EMERGENCY STOP.
   
5. Tilt the remote control to the right to make the helicopter turn right. The right light on the helicopter will flash.
   

EMERGENCY STOP

TROUBLESHOOTING

The helicopter does not respond:

• Check that the helicopter and remote control are both turned to the "ON" position.
• The batteries in the remote control may need replacing or the helicopter may need to be recharged.
• The helicopter may have crashed. Press and hold the landing button one time.

The helicopter suddenly stops and falls to the ground:

• The helicopter may not be picking up signals from the remote control. Point the remote at an upward position during use.
• The batteries in the remote control may need replacing or the helicopter may need to be recharged.

The helicopter loses control:

• The helicopter may be picking up signals from another remote control source. Use the helicopter away from other electronic devices, or point the remote control and helicopter in another direction, away from other controllable sources.
• The IR receivers in the helicopter may be affected by bright lights. Only operate the helicopter away from direct lighting. The area should be lit sufficiently to see the helicopter and surrounding objects.
• An object may be blocking the signal between the remote and the helicopter. Make sure there is an open path between the remote control and helicopter at all times.
• The helicopter may be out of range. It has a range of 15 feet (5 meters). Do not operate the helicopter more than 15 feet away from the remote control to avoid crashing and damaging the unit.

The helicopter rotors or other parts have broken or are missing:

• Do not attempt to fly the helicopter with broken or missing parts.

• Do not touch the running rotors. Keep hands, hair and loose clothing like shoestrings away from moving parts to avoid injury.
• Never hold or throw any objects into the running rotors.
• Risk of eye injuries. Keep a safety distance of at least 3 feet between you and the helicopter.
• Do not fly the helicopter around people or pets.
• Use indoors only. Do not fly the helicopter in the vicinity of water or power lines.
• Never make modifications to the product.
• Before each use, examine the plug, enclosure, remote and other parts for damage. Never operate this product if it has damaged parts.
• Always keep your eyes on the helicopter during use.
• Do not land or crash the helicopter near your head, your body or other people or pets.
• Stand while flying the helicopter to get out of the way quickly if necessary.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

• Do not submerge the helicopter or remote control in water.
• Flying a helicopter takes skill and should be learned under direct supervision of an experienced adult.
• For best results, use the helicopter in a large, open room without obstacles such as lamps, loose objects, etc.
• Fly the helicopter over a light floor. A dark floor will affect the height detection sensor located on the bottom of the helicopter.
• Always switch the helicopter and remote control to the "OFF" position after use.
• Before recharging, allow the LiPo battery in the helicopter to cool for at least 10 minutes after use.
• Keep the product out of direct sunlight and avoid using in direct heat.
• Wipe the product with a damp cloth to clean. Air dry thoroughly in a well-ventilated area before storing.
• New alkaline batteries are recommended to use in the remote control to obtain best and maximum performance.
• Frequency band(s): 2418MHz-2472MHz
• Maximum radio frequency power transmitted: remote control - 6.79dBm, helicopter - 6.48dBm
