Welcome to the World of LiteHawk!
Welcome aboard, this is your new LiteHawk SNAP! Before we get ready for your first
aerial adventure, let’s cover the basics together!
Attempting to fly your LiteHawk SNAP without completely reading the manual may
cause injury to yourself and people in the vicinity, as well as damage to the RC model.
Please read the Instruction Manual thoroughly before taking your first flight.
LiteHawk SNAP - Transmitter Set Up
Battery Installation:
1. Open the Battery Cover.
2. If used batteries are present, remove these batteries from
the unit by pulling up on one end of each battery.
3. Install new batteries as shown in the battery compartment
(+/-).
4. Replace battery door securely.
5. Check your local laws and regulations for correct recycling
and/or battery disposal.
6. Never expose the transmitter or batteries to moisture.
LiteHawk SNAP - 2.4 Ghz
Your LiteHawk comes with a 2.4 Ghz radio system, which
allows you to play without the fear of ever losing control! Race
or play with countless other pilots. The range of your model is
approximately 100ft which, due to its small size, is in excess
of normal vision. The farther the model goes away from you the smaller it will become
and the harder it will be to determine the model’s direction. We suggest you stay at a
distance between 5ft-25ft, this keeps your SNAP within a safe operational distance.

How to charge the Litehawk SNAP:
Your LiteHawk SNAP comes with a LiPo battery which is inside the model. The rechargeable
Li-Po battery provides the power to propel your model at high speeds. You should expect
5-8 min run time. However you do need to make sure to properly maintain your Li-Po
Battery.
- Li-Po batteries don’t like to be run down too low. If the voltage is dropped dramatically
they will be damaged and will not recharge! Once the model starts to slow, drive your model
to a safe place, walk over and turn it off.
- It is recommend to charge the battery after your run and to always store the battery with
a charge. Never discharge or dead short a Li-Po battery!
Always have your model turned off when not in use.
1/ Open the battery cover located at the front of the quadcopter and carefully remove the
battery.
