3. The charging indicator light will show the charging status. Charging time is approximately 60-70 minutes per battery.
4. Once fully charged, disconnect the battery from the charger.

Note: The professional 7.4V 1200mAh 25C Li-Po battery offers high discharge rates and up to 12 minutes of flight time with 500+ cycles of use. Avoid overcharging to prolong battery life.

5.2 Battery Installation

1. Ensure the helicopter and remote control are powered off.
2. Locate the battery compartment on the helicopter.
3. Carefully insert the charged smart battery into the compartment, ensuring correct polarity.
4. Secure the battery compartment cover.

5.3 Remote Control Pairing (Binding)

To establish a connection between the remote control and the helicopter:

1. Turn on the remote control by toggling the power button to the left.
2. Power on the helicopter.
3. Place the helicopter on a flat, stable surface.
4. The remote control and helicopter will automatically attempt to bind. Wait for the indicator lights to stabilize, indicating a successful connection.
5. If binding fails, refer to the remote control diagram for the 'Align frequency binding' button (toggle left for button on Align frequency binding) and try again.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Basic Flight Controls

The remote control uses a standard Mode 2 configuration (left stick for throttle/rudder, right stick for aileron/elevator) by default. Refer to the remote control diagram for specific stick functions.

• Throttle (Left Stick Up/Down): Controls the helicopter's altitude (Upwards/Downwards).
• Rudder (Left Stick Left/Right): Controls the helicopter's yaw (Turn Left/Turn Right).
• Elevator (Right Stick Up/Down): Controls the helicopter's pitch (Onward/Backwards).
• Aileron (Right Stick Left/Right): Controls the helicopter's roll (Left Flight/Right Flight).
