Charging the Battery
Refer to the charging warnings. It is recommended
to charge the battery while you inspect the
aircraft. The fl ight battery will be required to
confi rm proper aircraft operation in future steps.
Battery Charging Process

to make sure it is not damaged e.g., swollen, bent,
broken or punctured.
1. Insert the charger into a USB port.
2. Properly connect the battery into the charger.
The end cap of the battery is specifi cally
