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.

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.
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.
