Li-Po Batter y Warning
and Guidelines

If you do not agree with these conditions, return your
complete FREE SPIRIT MICRO/SOLO model in new, unused
condition to the place of purchase immediately.

You must charge the included 3.7V 110mAh LiPo battery in a safe
area away from flammable materials.

Never charge the battery unattended. When charging the battery
you should always remain in constant observation to monitor the
charging process and react to potential problems that may occur.

After flight, the battery must be cooled to ambient temperature
before charging.

You MUST use the included 3.7V DC LiPo Charger ONLY.
Failure to do so may result in a fire causing personal injury
and/or property damage. DO NOT use a NiCd or NiMH charger.

Operation Method

Please note this checklist is not intended to be a replacement for

the content included in this instruction manual. Althought it can be
used as a quick start guide, we strongly suggest reading through
this manual completely before proceeding.

Always turn the transmitter on first
Plug the flight battery into the lead from the 5-in-1 control unit
Allow the 5-in-1 control unit to initialize and arm properly
Fly the model
Land the model
Unplug the flight battery from the 5-in-1 control unit
Always turn the transmitter off last

LiPo cells should not be discharged to below 3V each under
load. In the case of the 1S LiPo battery used for the FREE
SPIRIT MICRO/SOLO, you will not want to allow the battery to
fall to below 3V during flight.
The FREE SPIRIT MICRO/SOLO's 5-in-1 control unit features a
soft low voltage cutoff (LVC) that occurs when the battery
reaches 3V under load. When the soft cutoff occurs, the ESCs of
the 5-in-1 unit will reduce power to the motors (regardless of
the power level you have set with the throttle stick) in order to
prevent the voltage of the battery from dropping below 3V. This
reduction in power usually requires that you land the model
immediately, at which point you should power down the model
and unplug the flight battery.
And while it is possible to power the model up and to fly again
after the soft LVC occurs, this is NOT recommended as
continued discharging to the soft LVC will cause permanent
damage to the LiPo battery that results in lost power and
duration when using the battery for subsequent fights, or
failure of the battery entirely. Continued attempts to further
discharge the battery may also result in loss of control while
the motors are running as the voltage of the battery may drop
below the minimum operating voltage of the receiver and other
electronics.

If at any time during the charge or discharge process the

battery begins to balloon or swell, discontinue charging or
discharging immediately. Quickly and safely disconnect the
battery, then place it in a safe, open area away from flammable
materials to observe it for 30-45 minutes. Continuing to charge
or discharge a battery that has begun to balloon or swell can
result in a fire. A battery that has ballooned or swollen even a
small amount must be removed from service completely.

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 degrees Fahrenheit. Do not
store the battery or model in a car or direct sunlight whenever
possible. If stored in a hot car, the battery can be damaged or even
catch fire.

Do not over-discharge the LiPo flight battery. Discharging the

battery too low can cause damage to the battery resulting in

0-7°

Note: When the battery power/voltage is getting low you
will typically find that significant rudder trim and/or
rudder stick adjustments are needed to prevent the
helicopter from spinning. This usually occurs before soft
LVC, and indicates a good time to stop flying.

If you have any fur ther questions or concer ns re garding the
handling, char ging and/or use of the included Li-Po battery
pack,please contact TEL:[phone], EMAIL:
[e-mail]

Also, it is not recommended that you fly to the soft LVC every
time you fly. Instead, you should be aware of the power level of
the battery/helicopter throughout the flight, and if at any time
the helicopter begins to require more throttle than typical to
maintain hover or flight, you should land the helicopter
immediately. Routinely discharging the battery to the soft LVC
can still cause permanent damage to the battery.

before powerin the transmitter on first. After each flight, be
sure that you always disconnect the flight battery from the
5-in-1 unit before powering the transmitter off.

Note：We have set the code for you before the helicopters
leave factory. It is not necessary to adjust it again in the
future, unless the transmitter can not control the helicopter.

Turn on the transmitter and slide the li-po into the helicopter, If
the indicative led light flashes Please set up the throttle to zero
graduation ,then the led light become solid red,thenmove the
throttle stick slightly on the transmitter forwarder and after to
make the blade circumrotate.Push the throttle at any direction
and the blade swing against it; push any button of trim and the
scale of LCD variety against it .then the helicopter is good.

Note： If you find any abnormal situation when you check your
helicopter, Please do as below:

A.Reinstall the battery of transmitter.
B.Reinstall the Li-Po battery of the helicopter, and check if the
battery installed reverse.
C.Rebind for the helicopter.

With the rotor blades spinning at a low level of power, move the

rudder stick all the way to the right. This should cause the speed of
the upper main rotor blade to increase, and the speed of the lower
main rotor blade to decrease.

Next, move the rudder stick all the way to the left. This should

cause the speed of the lower main rotor blade to increase and the
speed of the upper main rotor blade to decrease. If both rotor
blades are not responding properly to rudder input, simply swap
the locations of their motor plugs on the 5-in-1 unit.

After confirming that both rotor blades are rotating in the correct

directions, and are responding properly to rudder inputs, your FREE
SPIRIT MICRO/SOLO is ready for flight. However, please be sure to
review the following sections of the manual BEFORE proceeding
with the first flight.

Once you have placed the helicopter in a safe area, free of
obstructions, and are clear of the rotor blades, you can safely
begin to power up the model to check for proper operation of the
motors.

Advance the throttle stick upward slowly, just until both rotor
blades begin to spin. DO NOT attempt the fly the helicopter at
this time. Note the direction that each of the rotor blades spins.
When viewed from the top, the upper main rotor blades should
spin counter clockwise and the lower main rotor blades should
spin clockwise. If either set of rotor blades is operating in the
wrong direction, disconnect the battery and reverse the polarity
of the corresponding motor's input power leads.

After confirming that the direction of rotation for both rotor

blades is correct, it is best to confirm that both rotor blades
respond properly to rudder control inputs.

With the rotor blades spinning at a low level of power, move the

rudder stick all the way to the right. This should cause the speed of
the upper main rotor blade to increase, and the speed of the lower
main rotor blade to decrease.

Next, move the rudder stick all the way to the left. This should

cause the speed of the lower main rotor blade to increase and the
speed of the upper main rotor blade to decrease. If both rotor
blades are not responding properly to rudder input, simply swap
the locations of their motor plugs on the 5-in-1 unit.

After confirming that both rotor blades are rotating in the correct

directions, and are responding properly to rudder inputs, your FREE
SPIRIT MICRO/SOLO is ready for flight. However, please be sure to
review the following sections of the manual BEFORE proceeding
with the first flight.
