Setup

1. Battery Installation and Charging

The GoolRC C186 uses modular batteries for convenient installation and replacement.

1. Insert the flight battery into the helicopter's battery compartment until it clicks into place.
2. To charge the battery, connect the USB charging cable to the battery and then to a USB power source (e.g., computer USB port, USB wall adapter). The charging indicator will show the charging status.
3. Ensure the battery is fully charged before each flight for optimal performance. A single 350mAh lithium battery provides approximately 15 minutes of flight time.
