gives you full one-handed flight control over the TYPHOON
aircraft. Features such as 'Follow Me' and 'Watch Me'
ensure that you are in frame in every shot. The 'point to fly'
function allows you to point and click to reposition your
TYPHOON in a very intuitive way.

BATTERY
WARNINGS
AND
USAGE GUIDELINES
WARNING:
Lithium
Polymer
(LiPo)
batteries
are
si
gnificantly
more
volatile
than
al
kaline,
NiCd
or
NiMH
batteries.
All
instructions
and
warnings
must
be
followed
exactly
to
prevent
property
damage
and/or
serious
injury
as
the
mishandling
of
LiPo
batteries
can
result
in
fire.
By
handling,
charging
or
using
the
included
LiPo
battery
you
assume
all
risks
associated
with
LiPo
batteries.
If
you
do
not
agree
with
these
conditions
please
return
the
complete
product
in
new,
unused
condition
to
the
place
of
purchase
immediately.
• You
must
always
charge
the
LiPo
battery
in a
safe,
well-ventilated
area
away
from
flammable
materials
.
•
Never
charge
the
LiPo
battery
unattended
at
any
time.
When
charging
the
battery
you
must
always
remain
in
constant
observation
to
monitor
the
charging
process
and
react
immediately
to
any
potential
problems
that
may
occur.
•
After
flying/discharging
the
LiPo
battery
you
must
allow
it
to
cool
to
ambient/room
temperature
before
recharging.
• To
charge
the
LiPo
battery
you
must
use
only
the
included
charger
or
a
suitably
compatible
LiPo
battery
charger
.
Failure
to
do
so
may
result
in a
fire
causing
property
damage
and/or
serious
injury.
•
If
at
any
time
the
LiPo
battery
beg
i
ns
to
balloon
or
swell,
discontinue
charging
or
discharging
immediately.
Quickly
and
safely
disconnect
the
battery,
then
place
it
in
a
safe,
open
area
away
from
flammable
materials
to
observe
it
for
at
least
15
minutes
.
Continuing
to
charge
or
discharge
a
battery
that
has
begun
to
balloon
or
swell
can
result
in a
fire. A
battery
that
has
ballooned
or
swollen
even
a
small
amount
must
be
removed
from
service
completely
.
•
Do
not
over-discharge
the
LiPo
battery.
Discharging
the
battery
too
low
can
cause
damage
to
the
battery
resulting
in
reduced
power,
flight
duration
or
failure
of
the
battery
entirely.
LiPo
cells
should
not
be
discharged
to
below
3.0V
each
under
load.
•
Store
the
LiPo
battery
at
room
temperature
and
in a
dry
area
for
best
results.
•
When
charging,
transporting
or
temporarily
storing
the

LiPo battery the temperature range should be from approxi-
mately 40-120° F (5-49°C). Do not store the battery or
aircraft in a hot garage, car or direct sunlight. If stored in a
hot garage or car the battery can be damaged or even catch fire.
•
Never leave batteries, chargers and power supplies
unattended during use.
• Never attempt to charge low voltage, ballooned/swollen,
damaged or wet batteries.
• Never allow children under 14 years of age to charge
batteries.
• Never charge a battery if any of the wire leads have been
damaged or shorted.
• Never attempt to disassemble the battery, charger or
power supply.
• Never drop batteries, chargers or power supplies.
• Always inspect the battery, charger and power supply
before charging.
• Always ensure correct polarity before connecting
batteries, chargers and power supplies.
• Always disconnect the battery after charging.
• Always terminate all processes if the battery, charger or
power supply malfunctions.
IMPORTANT NOTE: It's safer and better for the longevity of
the battery to store it only partially charged for any length
of time. Storing the battery approximately 50%, charged
(which is around 3.85V per cell) is typically best, however, it
will
take some careful management of the charge time and
the use of a volt meter to achieve this voltage. If you have
the equipment and skills to achieve the 50% charge level for
storage it is recommended. If not, simply be sure to not
store the battery fully charged whenever possible. In fact, as
long as the battery will be stored at approximately room
temperature and for no more than a few weeks before the
next use, it may be best to store the battery in the
discharged state after the last flight (as long as the battery
was not over-discharged on the last flight).

CHARGING THE BATTERIES
You can charge the LiPo battery in the TYPHOON Wizard™
by using supplied USB cable and inserting it into the USB
port on your computer . Make sure the TYPHOON Wizard™
is OFF and connect cable into open USB port on your
computer. The Power LED wil l show solid RED while battery
is charging, when charging is completed the red LED light
will turn off. It will take approximately 2 hours to charge a
fully discharged battery. A fully charged battery will give an
operating time of 3.5 hours per charge.
WARNING: Do not take out the LiPo battery installed in the
TYPHOON Wizard™, otherwise the TYPHOON Wizard™
may be damaged .
POWERING ON/OFF:
Press and hold the Power Button 0 . When all LEOs blink
once and the TYPHOON Wizard™ vibrates once, release the
Power button 0 . The Power LED glows solid green, and the
Aircraft Mode LED is on, then the TYPHOON Wizard™ is
powered on successfully.
NOTICE: Gyroscopes Mal-function: If the TYPHOON Wizard™
keeps vibrating when powering on and fails to power on,
please return it to the service center for maintenance.

Wizard™ to the same aircraft when you use it again.

FLIGHT CONTROLS
NOTICE: The safe distance between the TYPHOON Wizard™
and the aircraft is 39 ft (12m). The TYPHOON Wizard™ can
be controlled in different positions. Direction Control
Buttons function differently according to the positions of

TYPHOON Wizard™ is tilted towards 90 °, the closer the
aircraft will fly to the pilot . When the Wizard™ is tilted at
90 °, the aircraft will fly close to you straightly and stop at a
safe
distance .
