* 1-Month Manufacturer Warranty: this warranty is offered directly by the manufacturer. Should the helicopter become defective (external damages such as breaks due to crashes excluded) within the manufacturer's warranty period, customers may send the unit back to DX's Hong Kong office. DX will help forwarding the item to the manufacturer for repair or replacement, and will look after the progress. The customer will need to cover shipping fees both ways.

1. Prior to initial use, fully charge the included lithium battery. The status light LED turns green on the charger adaptor when charging is done (this should take less than 1 hour). Don't connect the battery to the helicopter yet.

2. Next, make sure your remote control is switched to OFF and install the 8 included AA batteries into the remote control.

3. Important: before you turn on the remote control, pull both the throttle stick and the trim switch besides the stick all the way down. If you don't do this your helicopter will begin flying the second you connect its power - this must be avoided.

4. Now, turn on the remote control and check if the battery indicator light is at least yellow. If the light is green then it'd be even better.

5. Finally, install the the lithium battery into the helicopter by snapping the battery into the bottom of the helicopter. If you have done it correctly the battery should be held firmly in place. If all looks good, connect power to the helicopter. This is done by hooking up the red male plug on the battery to the red female plug on the helicopter.

After you connect power, the servos (black control units under the blades) will re-adjust themselves and make some noise in the process. This takes less than a second and is perfectly normal. Don't worry the blades won't begin turning (provided that you've followed step 3).

At this point, all is set. Follow the detailed flying tutorials in the user's manual that's easy enough even for beginners and fortunately it is fully printed in English.
