TheightbatteryischargedwiththeenclosedUSBchargingadapter.Forthis,theadapterisconnectedtoaUSB
socket of a computer/notebook or a commercial USB plug-in mains adapter with the also-enclosed USB plug-in
charger. The USB charging adapter has two charging outputs with a dedicated charging display each in order to
chargeaspareightbattery(availableoptionally)atthesametimeondemand.
Attention!
Do not connect the USB cable to a USB hub without a separate mains adapter (e.g. a keyboard USB port,
etc.),becausethesewillnotprovidesufcientcurrentforcharging.
Connecttheightbattery(1)tooneofthetwoconnectionsock-
ets protected against polarity reversal of the charging adapter
(2) according to the adjacent gure. Work with the required
care and do not apply any unnecessary force. Then connect
the miniature USB plug (small plug) of the USB cable (3) to the
chargingadapteraccordingtothegure.
Once you connect the USB plug (large plug) of the USB ca-
ble to a USB socket of a computer/notebook or a USB plug-in
charger, charging commences.
Each charging output has its own LED display (4), which lights
up red while charging. When charging is completed, the display
of the charge indicator LED switches from red to green.
If only one rechargeable battery is being charged, the LED of the unused charging output will remain lit
green continually.
Disconnect the rechargeable battery from the charging adapter right after charging and pull the USB plug
from the computer/notebook or plug-in charger.
 ThetwochargingchutesabovetheLEDdisplays(seegure7,item5)maybeusedifneededtocharge
rechargeable batteries of other small models with the corresponding plug-in socket. In connection with the
model helicopter „HCP80 3D“, however, the charging chutes are not needed.
Important!
Only charge one rechargeable battery per side (shaft or cable connection). Never try charging two re-
chargeable batteries (shaft and cable connection) on one side of the charging adapter at once!
 Placetheightbatteriesandthechargingadapteronare-proofundergroundwhencharginganddonot
charge the battery unsupervised.
When connecting the charging cable to a computer/notebook, the operating system will not recognise any new hard-
ware, since the USB connection is only used for charging.
Please observe that the USB ports of your computer/notebook are usually only active when the computer/notebook is
switched on. Therefore, we recommend to only connect the charging cable to a computer/notebook that is switched
on.
