Ensure the Quad Starship is turned OFF before attempting to charge it.
Disconnect the Charging/Power Lead from the Power Socket.
•
Connect the end of the Charging/Power Lead to the output of the USB charging cable.
•
•
Ensure that the Quad Starship is turned off.
•
Connect the USB plug on the charging cable to one of the following:
a) a USB 2.0 (or later) port on your computer while the computer is on
b) a stand-alone USB charger such as those used for cell phones or tablets
•
While charging, the USB plug on the charging lead will glow red. This light will go out
when the Quad Starship is fully charged and ready to fly.
•
It'll take 50 – 60 minutes to charge the Quad Starship from empty.
Don't over-charge the Quad Starship, and don't leave it connected to any charger for more than ninety
minutes. Always use a DC5V 500mA source (such as a standard USB 2.0 port). Don't use USB hubs, USB
1.0 or USB 1.1 ports: these may not have enough current to properly charge the Quad Starship.
The remote control requires 4 x AA batteries. To replace the batteries:
•
Read and obey all warnings and cautions in this booklet.
•
Open the battery compartment on the rear of the remote control.
•
Insert four (4) fresh alkaline batteries.
•
The correct polarity is marked inside the battery compartment.
•
Do not use rechargable batteries - they don't have enough voltage to properly supply
the controller, and can cause erratic controller performance.
The Quad Starship must be paired to the remote control to function - the two need to 'agree' on a
frequency so that performance won't be affected by nearby wireless devices. To pair the controller:
•
Ensure the Quad Starship is sitting flat - if it's turned on while at an angle, this can
disrupt the function of the auto-stabilization system.
•
Turn on the Quad Starship. The switch in next to the power lead on the underside.
The front-facing LEDs will light up, indicating that it's powered on.
•
Turn on the remote control. If the controller is already on, turn it off and then on again.
It will beep quickly, several times signalling that it, too, is in pairing mode.
Once the remote control stops beeping then it's paired and you're ready to fly!
