1. Make sure the ON/OFF SWITCH on the
helicopter is set to the OFF position.
2. Slide the CHARGING PLUG COMPARTMENT
cover on the front of the remote control to the
open position to access the CHARGING PLUG.
3. Connect the CHARGING PLUG on the
controller to the CHARGING SOCKET
on the helicopter (see right).
4. Turn the remote’s ON/OFF SWITCH
to the ON position. The green and red
lights on the remote will illuminate,
indicating that charging is in process.
Note: The length of charging time will vary depending on percentage of battery
already charged and the strength and condition of the AA batteries in the
charger. Average charge time is 20-30 minutes.
5. The green charging indicator will shut off when the helicopter is fully charged.
6. Unplug the CHARGING PLUG from the CHARGING SOCKET and store in
the CHARGING PLUG COMPARTMENT so it doesn’t interfere with the controls.
IMPORTANT: Make sure to disconnect the CHARGING PLUG from the
helicopter’s CHARGING SOCKET as soon as charging is complete.
Failure to do so will cause excessive drain on the remote’s batteries.

sYncinG The ReMoTe To YouR helicoPTeR
When you and your friends are flying several helicopters in the same room
simultaneously, different channels need to be selected for each helicopter to avoid
signal interference. Steps 1-4 will need to be followed every time you fly.
IMPORTANT: Make sure you sync each remote to each helicopter one at a time.
The second helicopter must be off during the syncing process.
1. Turn the remote on by moving its ON/OFF SWITCH to ON.
2. Turn on the helicopter by sliding its ON/OFF SWITCH to ON.
3. Decide the channel on which you’d like your helicopter to run and move the
CHANNEL SWITCH to A or B.
4. Slowly push the THROTTLE forward once, and then return it to its original position.
This will sync the channel you selected to your helicopter. The blinking red light on
the copter will shine solid when syncing is complete.
5. Push the THROTTLE forward a second time. The blades will begin to rotate. This
confirms you have successfully synced the helicopter with a channel.
Note: You will need to re-sync your helicopter to the remote after shutting both
the remote and the helicopter off, and when you charge the helicopter’s battery
or change the batteries in the remote.

fliGhT check
1. Move the helicopter’s ON/OFF SWITCH on the helicopter’s MAIN HOUSING
to ON and make sure the THROTTLE is in the down position.
2. Place the helicopter on the floor, pointed away from you, spectators, pets and
breakable items.
3. Stand back, and move the remote's power switch to ON.
leT’s flY!
1. With both the remote and helicopter ON, place the helicopter on the floor, pointed
away from you, spectators, pets and breakable items—and get ready for takeoff!
2. Increase the THROTTLE until the helicopter leaves the floor, then back the
THROTTLE off to approximately half-speed to maintain a steady height. Cloud
Force has a built-in gyroscope to help it maintain a smooth flight, plus makes it
easy to maneuver.
3. Use very slight right and left adjustments with the RIGHT/LEFT TURN & FRONT/
BACK CONTROL to allow the helicopter to move to the right, left, forward and
backward. For sweeping turns, roll the RIGHT/LEFT TURN & FRONT/BACK
CONTROL a little, or a lot, for wide or tight circles. You can also make sweeping
turns going backwards.
4. If your helicopter is heading for a collision with a spectator or hard object,
cut the THROTTLE to prevent damage.
5. Gentle and patient use of the controls will provide the most control of
the helicopter.
6. Have fun!

Spinning?
You may experience the helicopter wanting to spin in one direction or the other.
This is normal and just requires slight trim adjustment to correct. If the helicopter rotates
clockwise, hold down the left STABILIZER TRIM BUTTON until it stops rotating. If the
helicopter rotates counterclockwise, hold down the right STABILIZER TRIM BUTTON
until it stops rotating. You may need to adjust the trim occasionally during every flight.
Not enough power to lift off?
Your batteries may be low–or the helicopter may need recharging. Recharge and
try again.
No control?
1. Are you in the sun? Some infrared signals are interrupted by sunlight, so if you
are trying to use your helicopter in a very sunny room, you may experience loss
of control. This toy is made to be used indoors. Outdoor use is not recommended.
2. Is there a breeze? Your helicopter is affected by the wind, just like real aircraft.
An air conditioner, fan or even an open door or window can generate enough
wind to alter your flight plan. Make sure the air is still when flying.

Helicopter displaying erratic behavior?
1. It is possible that the MAIN ROTOR and/or the TAIL ROTOR has some debris
caught in the mechanism. Check for lint, dust or hair, clear the mechanisms gently
and try again.
2. If your helicopter isn’t lifting off correctly, the problem may be a torn or damaged
MAIN ROTOR or STABILIZER BAR. Replace the entire MAIN ROTOR unit with
one of the 2 replacements included in the package.
• Remove the MAIN ROTOR SCREW.
• Lift the damaged MAIN ROTOR off the MAIN HOUSING.
• Install a new MAIN ROTOR onto the MAIN HOUSING.
• Replace the MAIN ROTOR SCREW and tighten securely.

inTeRacTiVe baTTle Mode
Get ready for aerial combat missions with your friends – or “enemies” – Combat
RC Helicopter.
PREPARATION FOR MISSION:
1. Sync your helicopter remote to either the A or B channel first, then have your
“enemy” syncs theirs to the other channel.
2. Make sure both copters are fully charged and ready to fly.
READY, AIM, FIRE!
1. While in flight, aim the front of your helicopter at your enemy’s copter, either
head-on or broadside, and press the SHOOT button on your remote.
2. If you score a hit, your enemy’s copter will blink its lights and spin several times.
3. On the third direct hit, your enemy will lose control of their copter, and the
copter will spin and descend safely to the ground. Mission accomplished!
4. The downed helicopter will recover (and reset) after a few moments, and will be
ready for the next dogfight.

caRe and MainTenance
• Turn both the helicopter and the remote off before cleaning.
• Wipe the helicopter housing clean with a soft, slightly damp cloth.
• Ensure there are no hairs or lint caught between the main or tail rotors
and the drive shafts. Clean carefully with your fingers or a pair of tweezers.
• Remove the batteries from the remote if storing for a long period of time.
• Do not store the helicopter in direct sunlight or on or above a radiator
or equipment that generates heat.
