The rechargeable battery is built in the fuselage of the helicopter. This battery should be charged before you play with the helicopter. Important: Before using the helicopter the first time after purchase, charge the included battery twice in order to fully charge it. After that, if you use the helicopter throughout the day, charge the battery only once before each use. Charge the battery twice every first time of the day before using the helicopter. 1. Using the Eight D Alkaline Batteries The alkaline batteries can be recharged 25 to 30 times, in normal use. (1) Set the power switch of the helicopter to OFF and put the helicopter on the charger. Unless the power switch is set to OFF, the charging nozzle cannot be inserted. (2) Insert the charging plug of the charger into the helicopter charging port till it stops. (3) Switch over the charging type selector switch to “Dx8” and press the charging start button of the charger. The red LED blinks while charging is in progress. (4) The helicopter will be charged completely in about 4 minutes. The red LED stops blinking and goes out, when charging is complete. Remove the charging plug from the helicopter charging port. (1) (2) (3) Charging start button Charging type selector switch Note: If the red LED does not blink, the charging plug may not be completely inserted into the helicopter charging port. In such case, press the charging plug into the charging port again until it stops. 2. Using the TAIYO 9.6 V Power Pack The fully-charged TAIYO 9.6 V power pack can be recharged about 5 times. The TAIYO 9.6 V power pack / charger set is an option. (1) Charge the TAIYO 9.6 V power pack. For the recharging method, read the instruction manual of the “TAIYO 9.6 V Power Pack / Charger Set”. (2) Insert the TAIYO 9.6 V power pack into the charger socket. (3) Perform steps 1-(1) to 1-(4). (4) After recharging the TAIYO 9.6 V power pack, remove it from the charger. (3) (2) Charging start button Charging type selector switch * Switch over the charging type selector switch to “9.6 V PACK”. HELIO_En_p02_15.p65 4/9/04, 10:01 AM English 3. Using the Cigarette Lighter Socket of a Car (12 V) Be sure to recharge the battery with an adult who has a valid driver’s license. (1) Connect the cigarette lighter cable to the car cigarette lighter socket and the charger. (2) Check that the car is 12 V and start the engine. (3) Insert the plug into the car cigarette lighter socket securely till it stops. (4) Perform steps 1-(1) to 1-(4). (5) After recharging the battery, remove the plug from the cigarette lighter socket. (6) Stop the engine. (1) (4) Charging start button Charging type selector switch * Switch over the charging type selector switch to “CIGAR ADAPTOR”. * A glass tube fuse is set to protect the inner circuit in the cigarette lighter socket. If the fuse is blown and doesn’t operate, replace it with one of the same rating. Important: • Be sure to use alkaline batteries when you charge the battery using D batteries. An off-quality alkaline battery or manganese battery cannot perform 100% charging, therefore the helicopter cannot fly due to insufficient power. • If you feel the flying time becomes a little shorter than usual or if you feel the propeller does not turn with full power regardless of the full-power setting of the helicopter, the capacity of the alkaline battery or the TAIYO 9.6 V power pack is insufficient. In such case, 100% recharging cannot be performed and the helicopter cannot fly due to insufficient power. (The power LED also lights darker than when a new battery is used.) If you use the alkaline batteries, replace all 8 alkaline batteries with new ones. And, if you use the TAIYO 9.6 V power pack, recharge it. After that, start recharging the helicopter. • When you recharge the helicopter from a car cigarette lighter socket, be sure to confirm that the car runs on 12 V. You cannot recharge the helicopter with a car of other than 12 V. Recharge the helicopter with the engine running. In addition, be sure to recharge the helicopter with an adult who has a valid driver’s license. • Be sure to recharge the helicopter just before flying it. If you don’t play with the helicopter just after recharging the helicopter, the charger is discharged and the helicopter cannot fly due to insufficient power. • When battery temperature reaches a specified high value, the circuit will automatically shut off and the helicopter or charger will stop to protect the receiving circuit and the battery. In such case, it is recommended to cool down the helicopter before recharging or playing with it. • If a rechargeable battery is repeated charged without the battery being sufficiently discharged first, the fully rechargeable capacity gradually lowers (memory effect of the battery). This is a characteristic of rechargeable batteries. Be sure to start recharging after operating the main rotor until it nearly stops. 10 HELIO_En_p02_15.p65 10 4/9/04, 10:01 AM English LOCATIONS AND CONDITIONS FOR FLYING THE HELICOPTER Locations Flying Conditions Look for a good place for flying. If the ambient temperature is low, the flying performance of the helicopter may decrease. Fly the helicopter on a warm day. If wind blows, it is hard to control the helicopter. It is recommended to fly the helicopter under no-wind conditions. Do not fly the helicopter in heavy thunderstorms, rain, sleet, snow or other bad weather. Before flying the helicopter, be sure to check no obstacles are nearby. Do not fly the helicopter around a road, people, animals, trees, overhead power lines, or other obstacles. Play in an open area with good visibility. Important: * Before playing with the helicopter, be sure to check that no one operates an R/C model using the same frequency as you. * Do not take your eyes off the helicopter while flying it. * A child who cannot fly the helicopter confidently should fly it with the supervision of an adult. Fly the helicopter after making sure that no obstacles are above or around you. 11 HELIO_En_p02_15.p65 11 4/9/04, 10:01 AM English Is everything ready?
