4. Operating Instructions
Charging the Drone Battery
Once the charger is correctly connected to a power source and the drone, a red indicator light on the charger should illuminate. This light signifies that charging is in progress.
If the red light does not appear, please refer to the Troubleshooting section to ensure all connections are secure and the drone is powered off.
The charging process is complete when the indicator light changes color (e.g., from red to green) or turns off, depending on the specific charger variation. Refer to your drone's instruction manual for exact charging times and battery status indicators.
5. Maintenance
Care and Storage
- Keep the charger in a dry environment, away from moisture, direct sunlight, and extreme temperatures.
- Avoid bending or kinking the cable excessively to prevent internal wire damage.
- Disconnect the charger from the power source when it is not in use or when the drone battery is fully charged.
- Clean the connectors gently with a dry, soft cloth if necessary to ensure optimal contact.
6. Troubleshooting
Common Issues and Solutions
- Charger light does not turn on / Drone not charging:
- Ensure the drone's power switch is in the "OFF" position. The charger will not initiate charging if the drone is powered on.
- Verify that the USB charger is securely plugged into a working USB power source. Try a different USB port or adapter if available.
- Check that the charger's small connector is firmly inserted into the drone's battery port.
- Inspect the charger cable for any visible damage, cuts, or breaks. A damaged cable may prevent charging.
- Slow charging:
- Ensure the USB power source provides sufficient current (e.g., 0.5A to 2A as indicated on some chargers). Using a lower current source may result in slower charging times.
