1. Prior to charging, make sure the battery

pack is completely discharged by running

the electric motor until it slows down.

Note: Discharge the Ni-Cd pack every

cycle. Failure to do so will decrease the

capacity and flying time of the battery.

2. For best results, let the battery pack cool

before charging. Heat can prevent a battery

from charging to full capacity and also

decreases the performance of the battery.

3. Once the pack is ready to be charged,

attach the red (positive +) alligator clip to

the red "positive" terminal of the 12V

power source.

4. Attach the black (negative-) alligator

clip to the "negative" terminal of the

12V power source.

5. Make certain that you hook up the

charger to the correct polarity of the

12V power source.

6. Use the graph provided on the back of the

charger to select the correct charge time

needed to fully charge the battery pack.

The graph will give a recommended

charging time (of a fully discharged

battery) based upon the capacity of your

battery pack.

7. Continue to monitor the battery as it is

being charged. After the battery has been

fully charged, disconnect the charger from

the battery.

If you encounter any problems with

your E-flite™ charger, contact the

Horizon Service Center at (877) 504-0233.
