4. Product description
The "Pocket Drone FPV" is a pre-assembled quadcopter with four rotors and a built-in camera. Quadcopters are used
to complete a wide range of tasks. The four rotors can be folded inwards to make the quadcopter easy to transport.
The "Pocket Drone FPV" quadcopter features the latest microprocessor-driven electronics with altitude control and
accelerometers, which stabilize its position and altitude. It also features a built-in camera for live transmission, which
enables you to y the quadcopter in "FPV" mode ("rst person view"). You can also control the quadcopter with your
smartphone and record images and videos.
The quadcopter features high-quality, powerful DC motors with a specially developed drive. An innovate control sys-
tem and electronic self-stabilization make the quadcopter easy to control.
This product is designed for use in large, enclosed rooms/areas, but can also be used outdoors in still conditions.
The built-in electronic controls (gyroscope) can balance out small undesired changes to the quadcopter's altitude,
but cannot prevent them altogether. The quadcopter reacts sensitively to wind/draughts due to its lightweight design.
The quadcopter is powered by a built-in LiPo rechargeable battery (not replaceable). The LiPo battery can be charged
with the USB charger provided.
The remote control requires 2 AAA batteries (e.g. Conrad item no. 652303, order 2x).

7. Battery information
Batteries present numerous safety hazards. Compared with conventional NiMH rechargeable bat-
teries, LiPo/Li-ion rechargeable batteries have a high energy content. For this reason, it is essential
to comply with safety regulations to prevent the risk of a re or explosion.
Always observe the following safety information when handling batteries.
a) General information
• Keep batteries out of the reach of children.
• Do not leave batteries lying around, as they present a choking hazard for children and pets. Seek im-
mediate medical advice if a battery is swallowed.
• Batteries/rechargeable batteries must never be short-circuited, taken apart or thrown into re, as this
may cause an explosion!
• When handling leaking or damaged batteries, always use suitable protective gloves to avoid burning
your skin.
• Liquids that leak from batteries are very corrosive and may cause serious damage to objects or surfaces
that come into contact with them. Always store batteries in a suitable location that is not prone to dam-
age.
• Do not attempt to recharge disposable, non-rechargeable batteries. This may cause a re or explosion!
Non-rechargeable batteries are only designed to be used once and must be disposed of properly when
they are empty. Only recharge compatible rechargeable batteries and ensure that you use a suitable
battery charger.
• If you do not plan to use the model for an extended period (e.g. during storage), remove the batteries
from the remote control to prevent them from leaking and causing damage. The quadcopter battery is
built into the quadcopter; store the quadcopter (with the built-in battery) in a cool, dry place out of the
reach of children. The same applies for batteries.
Install a smoke detector in the room. Batteries present a re hazard and may generate toxic fumes. This
applies in particular to batteries for model toys, which are subjected to high charging/discharge currents
and vibrations.
• Always exchange the entire set of batteries in the remote control. Do not mix full batteries with half-full
ones. Always use batteries of the same type and from the same manufacturer. Never mix disposable
batteries with rechargeable batteries.
• Always ensure that the remote control batteries are inserted in the correct polarity (observe the plus/+
and minus/- symbols).
• Do not expose the charger or quadcopter (with the built-in battery) to high/low temperatures or direct
sunlight.
• Batteries must not become damp or wet. The same applies for the charger and the quadcopter. The
charger must only be used in dry, enclosed indoor areas.
Lithium rechargeable batteries (e.g. LiPo/Li-ion batteries) contain chemicals that are very sensitive to
moisture (re/explosion hazard).

• To charge the battery, place the charger and quadcopter on a non-ammable, heat-resistant surface
(e.g. stone tiles). Keep the charger and quadcopter away from ammable objects. Ensure that there is a
sufcient distance between the charger and the quadcopter.
• Do not charge batteries when they are still hot (e.g. due to a high discharge current in the model). Allow
the quadcopter battery to cool down to room temperature before charging it.
• Ensure that there is sufcient ventilation, as the quadcopter battery and charger may heat up during the
charging process. Never cover the charger or the quadcopter!
• Never leave batteries unattended when they are charging. Inspect the charger at regular intervals to
ensure that the battery is not overheating or expanding. This indicates an imminent risk of a re or
explosion. If the quadcopter battery overheats or starts to expand, disconnect the quadcopter from the
charger immediately and take it to a location where it will not cause any additional damage if it explodes
or catches re (e.g. outdoors).
• Disconnect the quadcopter from the charger when the quadcopter battery is fully charged.
• Never damage the casing of a rechargeable battery. Never charge damaged, leaking or deformed bat-
teries. This may cause a re or explosion! Discontinue use immediately and dispose of the battery in an
environmentally friendly manner.
• Rechargeable batteries should be charged regularly (approx. once every 2–3 months) to prevent them
from overdischarging. This may result in permanent damage and render the batteries useless.
LiPo/Li-ion batteries usually retain their charge for several months. However, if the batteries
overdischarge, this will result in permanent damage and render them useless.
b) Additional information about lithium rechargeable batteries
Modern lithium rechargeable batteries have a signicantly higher capacity than NiMH and NiCd bat-
teries and are more lightweight. This makes LiPo (lithium polymer) or Li-ion batteries particularly
suitable for use in model making.
However, lithium batteries require particular care to ensure safe charging/discharging, operation
and handling.
The following section provides an overview of the potential hazards associated with lithium batter-
ies and explains how these hazards can be avoided to ensure a long lifespan.
• The casing of many lithium batteries is made of a thick lm, which is very sensitive. Do not dismantle,
drop or insert any objects into lithium batteries. Do not apply mechanical loads or pull on the battery’s
connection cables. This may cause a re or explosion!
The quadcopter battery is built into the quadcopter and cannot be replaced.
• Ensure that the lithium battery does not overheat during use, recharging, discharging, transport or stor-
age. Do not place the quadcopter (with the built-in battery) next to sources of heat or in direct sunlight.
This may cause the battery to overheat and trigger a re or explosion! The temperature of the battery
must not exceed +60 °C.
• Do not charge the battery if it is damaged or if the outer casing starts to swell/expand (e.g. after a crash).
This may cause a re or explosion!
If the battery is damaged, do not store the quadcopter in an apartment or in a house/garage. Damaged
or swollen lithium batteries may catch re.
