the battery may also result in loss of control while the

motor is running, as the voltage of the battery may drop

below the minimum operating voltage of the receiver and

other electronics.

Also, you should not fly to the soft LVC every time you fly.

Instead, you should be aware of the power level of the

battery/airplane throughout the flight, and if at any time

the airplane begins to require more throttle than typical to

maintain flight, you should land the airplane immediately.

Routinely discharging the battery to the soft LVC can still

cause permanent damage to the battery.

If you have any further questions or concerns regarding the

handling, charging and/or use of the included Li-Po battery,

please contact the Horizon Support Team at 877-504-0233,

Horizon Hobby UK at +44 (0) 1279 641 097 or Horizon

Technischer Service, Germany at +49 4121 46199 66.

It is important that you charge the included 1S 3.7V 120mAh

14C Li-Po Battery (PKZ1035) with the included 1S 3.7V DC Li-Po

Battery Charger (PKZ3240) or the E-flite Celectra 4-port Charger

(EFLC1004). Attempting to charge the battery using another

Li-Po charger or non-Li–Po compatible charger could result in

serious damage. Please familiarize

yourself thoroughly with the Battery Warnings and Guidelines

section before continuing. Follow these steps to charge the Li-Po

battery with the included charger.

• Remove the cover on the bottom of the charger and install

four of the included AA batteries, noting proper polarity.

Replace the cover after the AA batteries are installed.

• Slide the battery into the slot on the charger. The end cap

of the battery has been specifically designed to allow the

battery to be slid into the slot easily one way (usually with

the label on the battery facing outward) to prevent reverse

polarity connection. However, please be sure to check for

proper alignment and polarity before proceeding to the

next step.

• Gently press the battery and its connector into the charge

jack/connector located at the bottom of the slot in the

charger. Again, be sure to check for and to achieve proper

polarity before making the connection.

• After you make the connection successfully, the LED light

on the charger will turn solid red, indicating that charging

has begun.
