Charging

Charge the controller using the designated controller charger only; using a different charger can damage the 

controller or cause a fire. 

To charge the controller, connect the controller charger to the barrel jack on the side of the controller and to a 

wall outlet. To check the battery level of the controller, press the power button. A fully charged controller lasts for 

approximately 6 hours. Always check the controller’s battery level before you fly, and recharge when prompted by 

the controller. The controller takes approximately 3 hours to charge to 100%.
