IMPORTANT BATTERY INFORMATION

Use only batteries recommended in this instruction manual. Do not mix old and new batteries.

Battery installation should be performed by an adult. Be careful to install the batteries with the correct polarity, as indicated.

Do not use rechargeable batteries. Do not mix alkaline, standard, lithium, rechargeable, or different types of batteries. The supply terminals are not to be short-circuited. Exhausted batteries are to be removed as they will hinder performance. Never leave a battery unattended while it is being charged. Never leave a battery unattended in the presence of children. MicroFighters charging time will increase with usage as the condition of the AA cells diminish. Battery performance may greatly influence flight characteristics. MicroFighters Li-Po rechargeable battery is not replaceable.

BEFORE FLYING

1.Use a Phillips head screw driver (cross head) to loosen screw and remove cover .

2.Insert 6AA batteries in the correct polarity as indicated inside the battery door cover.

3.Place cover back and re-tighten screw .

4.Screw antenna in place.

CHARGING THE MICROFIGHTERS

1.Make sure the power switch of the MicroFighters is

in the OFF position. NOTE: Always switch OFF the plane after flying!

2.Make sure the controller antenna is collapsed to avoid breaking it while not flying and to prevent accidentally interfering with another RC aircraft on the same frequency.

3.Remove the charge lead on the transmitter and insert it into the charge port on the MicroFighters.

NOTE: Always insure you insert the charge lead using the correct orientation.

4.Turn the transmitter switch to the ON position.

5.Green LED will blink indicating plane is now being charged.

6.Charge the MicroFighters fully which typically takes about 30 min.

7.Green LED will stop blinking and light steadily, indicating that the plane is fully charged.

8.Remove lead and place back inside storage compartment.

9.Turn transmitter OFF.

10.If you forget to turn off the transmitter and are not moving the control sticks, after 3 minutes the red LED will start blinking to remind you to turn it off!

NOTE: The MicroFighters will enter sleep mode if idle over 3 minutes. To "wake up", power off both your Microfighters and the transmitter, and then turn on again. If battery is low the green LED will blink.

TIP: Unlike other types of rechargeable batteries, Lithium Polymer rechargeable batteries do not require a full charge for operation. However it is necessary to FULLY charge on the first flights for best results. *Shorter Charges = Shorter Flight Times. Precaution: This product is design to operate in altitude below 4000ft! If the operation geographic environment is over the designed altitude, the flight time may shorten and the product may not function correctly.
