Required Tools
• Soldering Iron
• Lead-free Solder
• Diagonal Cutter
Notes: This kit contains electronic components that may contain hazardous
substance and may be harmful if misused. This activity is not intended for
children under the age of 12. Not to be used by children except under adult
supervision. Wash hands after soldering.
Before You Begin

the PCB.
Caution: Be careful when soldering and trimming
leads. Protective eyeware is recommended.

CAUTION:
• Use only the supplied lithium battery and cable, or ones with the same
specication to charge. Using any other batteries, cables or dierent
specications may damage the drone.
• After playing, let the battery cool for at least 20 minutes before charging.
Recycle Rechargeable Batteries
Recycle used rechargeable batteries at one of the many collection
sites in the U.S. and Canada. To nd the site nearest you, visit www.
call2recycle.org or call 1-800-822-8837.
Charge the Drone Battery
1. Make sure your drone is switched o. Plug the USB charging cable into
your drone’s charging port (CHG) and a USB power source. The LED on the
USB connector lights red during charging, and turns o when charging is
complete.
A full charge takes about 45 minutes, and provides up to 5 minutes of ight
time.
2. After charging, unplug the charging cable. Do not attempt to overcharge.
