Charging the Flight Battery
Your aircraft comes with a DC Flight Battery charger that
is specifi cally designed to charge the included
3S Li-Po battery.
1. Insert the charger into the car outlet.
2. Connect the battery to the charger.
3. Charge the battery for approximately 1 hour (the
LED fl ashes during charging, then turns solid when
charging is complete).
4. Disconnect the battery after charging.
CAUTION: When connecting the battery to the bat-
tery charger, make sure the connectors are aligned
as shown in fi gure 4. Failure to connect the battery
properly could cause the terminals to short and re-
sult in fi re, personal injury and/or property damage.
Charger Specifi cations
• Input power: 10–14V
• Max output voltage: 11.1V
• Fixed charge current: 1.3A
• Balances and charges 3S Li-Po cells with a minimum
capacity of 1300mAh
This charger may be connected to a 1.5A AC Power Sup-
ply (US Only, HBZ1004), sold separately.
Charging Warnings
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 temperature
range of 40–120º F (5–49º C). Do not store battery or aircraft in a car
or direct sunlight. If stored in a hot car, the battery can be damaged or
even catch fi re.
Transmitter
Installing the Transmitter Batteries
Your Spektrum DX4e comes prebound to
the aircraft.
Remove the battery cover, install the four included bat-
teries (noting proper polarity) and reinstall the
battery cover.
Low Battery Alarm
When the battery voltage drops below 4.7 volts, an
alarm sounds and the voltage LEDs fl ash. The batteries
must be replaced immediately. If this happens while fl y-
ing, land your aircraft as soon and as safely as possible.
CAUTION: If using rechargeable batteries, charge
only rechargeable batteries. Charging non-re-
chargeable batteries may cause the batteries
to burst, resulting in injury to persons and/or
damage to property.
