Instruction manual
• AFTER INSTALLING THE BATTERY IN THE MOUNT/HELICOPTER YOU MUST BE CAREFUL TO
ENSURE PROPER POLARITY BEFORE CONNECTING IT TO THE 4-IN-1 CONTROL UNIT. By
orienng/aligning the wire leads of the baery and control unit so they’re ‘red to red’ and
‘black to black’ you’ll be able to make the connecon with correct polarity.
Also, although the ‘JST’ connectors are ‘keyed’ to minimize the risk of a reverse polarity connecon,
if you force them it is possible to make connecon with incorrect/reversed polarity potenally
causing damage to the control unit and/or baery. When the connectors are properly aligned for
correct polarity, connecng them should require only a minimal amount of pressure to achieve the
light ‘click’ that indicates secure connecon.
• With the LiPo flight baery connected to the control unit the LED indicator (on the control
unit) will typically blink red slowly then blink red rapidly before glowing solid red.
IMPORTANT NOTE: aer the baery is connected to the control unit it’s important to not move or
ROTATE the helicopter once the RED LED begins to blink confirming that the inializaon process and
calibraon of the gyro has begun. If you do move/rotate the helicopter too much while the LED is
blinking red it may affect inializaon/calibraon of the gyro which could require significant rudder
trim adjustments and/or prevent the gyro from working during the pending flight. If this happens you
must disconnect the baery from the control unit and repeat the inializaon/calibraon process.
Also, it’s typically best to connect the baery to the control unit while the helicopter is sing on
a stable, flat and level surface rather than when holding it in your hands.
• When the LED indicator begins to glow solid red the control unit is inialized, armed and
ready for flight. Use cauon as the rotor blades will now spin with le-hand/throle sck
input! Do not advance/raise the throle sck or trim unl you are clear of the rotor blades
and ready to fly.
