Batteries

safely.

The Battery Charger (EFLC1003) included with the UMX Extra 300 3D has been designed to safely charge the Li-Po battery.

CAUTION: All instructions and warnings must be followed exactly. Mishandling of Li-Po batteries can result in a fire, personal injury, and/or property damage.

By handling, charging or using the included Li-Po battery you assume all risks associated with lithium batteries. If you do not agree with these conditions, return your complete UMX Extra 300 3D model in new, unused condition to the place of purchase immediately.

DO NOT USE A Ni-Cd OR Ni-MH CHARGER. Failure to charge the battery with a compatible charger may cause fire resulting in personal injury and/or property damage.

If at any time the battery begins to balloon or swell, discontinue use immediately. If charging or discharging, discontinue and disconnect. Continuing to use, charge or discharge a battery that is ballooning or swelling can result in fire.

Store the battery at room temperature in a dry area for best results.

When transporting or temporarily storing the battery the temperature range should be from 40–120º F. Do not store battery or model in a car or direct sunlight. If stored in a hot car, the battery can be damaged or even catch fire.

Li-Po cells should not be discharged to below 3V each under load.

Do not cover warning labels with hook and loop strips.

WARNING: Only use an E-flite 6V power supply with this charger. DO NOT use a 12V power supply or property damage and injury could occur.

Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)

When a Li-Po battery is discharged below 3V per cell, it will not hold a charge.The UMX Extra 300 3D ESC protects the flight battery from over-discharge using Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC). Before the battery charge decreases too much, LVC removes power supply from the motor. Power to the motor decreases and increases, showing some battery power is reserved for flight control and safe landing.

When the motor power decreases then increases, please land the aircraft immediately and recharge the flight battery.

Disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the aircraft after use to prevent trickle discharge. Before storage, charge the Li-Po battery to full capacity. During storage make sure battery charge does not go below 3V per cell.

NOTICE: Repeated flying to LVC will damage the battery.

Charging the Battery

Your UMX Extra 300 3D comes with a 1S 3.7V Li-Po Battery Charger and 150mAh 1-Cell 3.7V 12C Li-Po battery. It is important that you only charge with the included charger, or the E-flite® Celectra™ 4-port Charger (EFLC1004). Refer to battery warnings. We recommend you charge the battery pack first. You will need the flight battery to confirm proper aircraft operation in future steps.

The Battery Charging Process

1.Charge only batteries that are cool to the touch and are not damaged. Look at the battery to make sure it is not damaged e.g., swollen, bent, broken or punctured.

2.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.

3.Slide the battery into the slot on the charger. The end cap of the battery is specifically designed to allow the battery to fit into the slot one way (usually with the label on the battery facing outward) to prevent reverse polarity connection. However, check for proper alignment and polarity before proceeding to the next step.

4.Gently press the battery and its connector into the charge jack/connector located at the bottom of the slot in the charger.

5.When you make the connection successfully, the LED on the charger turns solid red, indicating charging has begun.

6.Charging a fully discharged (not over-discharged) 150mAh battery takes approximately 25–30 minutes. As the battery nears full charge, the LED begins to blink.

7.When the battery is fully charged, the LED blinks approximately every 20 seconds or goes out entirely. Note: If the LED stays on when the Li-Po is removed, the AA batteries in the charger are low.

8.Always unplug the battery from the charger immediately upon completion of charging.

CAUTION: Overcharging a battery can cause a fire.

WARNING: Failure to use the proper charger for a Li-Po battery can result in serious damage, and if left charging long enough, will cause a fire. ALWAYS use caution when charging Li-Po batteries.
