Fixerl’antenne
Fixerl’antenne
Pour utiliser la télécommande pour la première fois, il
est nécessaire de xer l’antenne Pour xer l’antenne,
la placer dans la fente sur la télécommande et la faire
tourner en sens anti-horaire jusqu’à ce qu’elle ne puisse
plus tourner Ne pas trop serrer
Pour une performance optimale, déployer l’antenne avant
de faire voler Skyhopper
NOTE : Lorsque vous avez ni de faire voler Skyhopper, replier l’antenne sur la
télécommande avant de la ranger
ChargerSkyhopper
Avant d’utiliser le Hoverpod pour la première fois (ou si la charge est complètement
épuisée) il est nécessaire de le recharger Ceci prend généralement environ 10 minutes
et procure jusqu’à 6 minutes de vol
Vous saurez quand la charge est presque épuisée lorsque le bruit du moteur baisse
Skyhopper volera également plus bas, et répondra moins bien aux commandes
NOTE : Si la charge prend plus de 15 minutes, remplacer toutes les piles de la
télécommande par des piles neuves
Pour charger Skyhopper, procéder comme suit :
Sortir le cordon de charge situé du côté droit de la télécommande1
