Charging Warnings
WARNING: Failure to comply with the following warnings could
result in product malfunction, electrical issues, excessive heat,
FIRE, and ultimately injury and property damage.
•NEVER LEAVE CHARGING BATTERIES UNATTENDED.
•NEVER CHARGE BATTERIES OVERNIGHT.
•Never charge damaged batteries. If the battery begins to swell during
charging or use, discontinue immediately.
•Always use the included battery and charger. Disconnect the battery
after charging.
•Charge batteries away from ammable materials in a well-ventilated area.
•Never charge, transport, or store batteries in hot, cold, or very sunny
places (recommended between 40–120° F or 5–49° C).
Charge the Flight Battery
CAUTION: Only use chargers specically designed to charge
the included Li-Po battery. Failure to do so could result in re,
causing injury or property damage.
CAUTION: Never exceed the recommended charge rate.

11 EN
The USB battery charger (EFLC1013) included with your aircraft has been
designed to safely charge the 1S 3.7V 500mAh 25C Li-Po ight battery.
NOTICE: Inspect the battery to make sure it is not damaged e.g., swollen,
bent, broken or punctured. Charge only batteries that are cool to the touch
and are not damaged.
1. Insert the charger into a USB port. The charger only uses power from
the USB port. USB power supplies, such as those used to charge cellular
phones, can also be used.
2. Connect the battery to the
charger as shown in the
illustration above. When
you make the connection successfully, the LED on the charger turns solid
red, indicating charging has begun. Charging a fully discharged (not over-
discharged) 500mAh battery takes approximately 60 minutes.The LED
goes out when the charge is complete.

3.Always disconnect the ight battery from the charger immediately upon
completion of charging.
CAUTION: Once charging is complete, immediately remove the
battery. Never leave a battery connected to the charger.

CAUTION: Always disconnect the Li-Po battery from the
aircraft when not ying to avoid over-discharging the battery.
Batteries discharged to a voltage lower than the lowest approved
voltage may become damaged, resulting in loss of performance and
potential re when the batteries are charged.

Transmitter and Receiver Binding
BNF Transmitter Setup
If you are using a computer transmitter, set the model type to “Acro” or
“Airplane” mode. In the channel input menu, set channel 6 (Aux1) to
a momentary switch such as the bind button ( I) and channel 5 (Gear)
to a 3-position switch (switch B). In the Servo Setup menu, reverse
channel 6 (Aux1).
Bind the quadcopter to your transmitter following the Transmitter and
Receiver Binding directions below.
General Binding Procedure (BNF®)
1. Disconnect the ight battery from the quadcopter.
2. Set the model type in your transmitter settings to “Acro” mode.
3. Center all trims on your transmitter.
4. Power off the transmitter and fully lower the throttle.
5. Connect the ight battery in the quadcopter. All of the LEDs on the
aircraft will ash rapidly, indicating the aircraft has entered bind mode.
6. Put the transmitter into bind mode while powering on the transmitter.
7. Release the bind button/switch after 2–3 seconds. The quadcopter
is bound when all of the LEDs on the aircraft turn solid.
8. Disconnect the ight battery and power the transmitter off.

16
EN
If you encounter problems binding either the included RTF transmitter
or your computer radio, obey the binding instructions and refer to the
troubleshooting guide for other instructions. If needed, contact the
appropriate Horizon Product Support ofce.
Your RTF transmitter comes prebound to the quadcopter. If you need to
re-bind, follow the directions below.

1. Disconnect the ight battery from the quadcopter.
2. Center all trims on your transmitter.
3. Power off the transmitter and fully lower the throttle.
4. Connect the ight battery in the quadcopter. All of the LEDs on the
aircraft will ash rapidly, indicating the aircraft has entered bind mode.
5. Push in and hold down the left stick while powering on the transmitter
(you will hear a ‘click’ and a long tone).
6. Release the left stick. The transmitter will beep and the power LED
will blink. The quadcopter is bound when all of the LEDs on the
