POWER PORT

INSTALL BATTERIES:

Use screwdriver (not included) to remove screw from battery door

as shown. Insert 4 AA batteries (not included). Be sure to insert

batteries as indicated inside compartment. Replace battery cover

and refasten screw. Use only alkaline batteries. Do not use

rechargeable batteries. Air Hogs®

may not work with other types

of batteries.

2. MAKE SURE HANDS ARE SAFELY AWAY

FROM PROPELLER. Now, push button on

side of charger. The propeller will begin to

spin. (Front Propeller only) This indicates that

the motor is charging.

As the motor charges, you will hear it rev, and

the speed of the propeller will increase until

reaching the required RPM (Revolutions Per

Minute) for take-off.

Be sure to charge the motor for a FULL 10

seconds or motor may not have enough power

to fly the helicopter. (If your batteries are not

fresh, it may be necessary to charge the

helicopter for slightly longer. DO NOT charge

for more than 15 seconds as it will reduce the

life of the motor). Allow propeller to spin freely.

DO NOT attempt to stop propeller from spinning.

3. After helicopter is fully charged, remove

Charge Rod from Power Port.

4. Gently toss helicopter upward into the

wind as shown and 30 degrees to the right or left.

(The wind should be blowing toward you and to

the side). Throwing the helicopter into the wind is

necessary to lift Air Hogs® helicopter into the air.

1. Hold charger in one hand and the helicopter in the

other hand, safely away from propeller.

Insert Charge Rod all the way into Power Port (Charge

Rod only fits one way. DO NOT force Charge Rod into

Power Port the wrong way). Contact point on Charge

Rod must match up with contact points inside Power Port.

Advanced Flying Tips

In some cases, it may be necessary to adjust the rear flaps as the

helicopter’s factory settings may shift slightly during manufacturing or

shipping. Other times, you may want to change the helicopter's flight

characteristics just for fun.

A. If your helicopter climbs at too steep of an angle and stalls, adjust both

flaps downward as shown. This will level-out the angle of flight.

B. If the helicopter tends to dive downward, or is not able to reach heights of

over 15 feet, adjust both flaps gently upward.

C. If your helicopter curves left during flight, or dives down to the left, adjust

the right rear flap up. This will help the helicopter to fly straight again.

D. If your helicopter curves right during flight, or dives down to the right,

adjust the left rear flap up.

Basic Flying Tips

Air Hogs® are very light. As a result, the wind will greatly affect the flight.

If you are flying Air Hogs® in a strong wind, the angle of your launch should

be below 45 degrees. Otherwise, the helicopter will fly straight up in the air,

and may stall.

If you are flying in a light breeze, the angle at which you launch the helicopter

should be above 45 degrees. This will help lift Air Hogs® high into the air.

CAUTION:

1. Never mix old batteries with new batteries. Replace all batteries at the same time.

2. Do not mix alkaline batteries with standard (carbon-zinc) or rechargeable batteries.

3. Make sure that the contact surfaces are clean and bright before installing batteries.

4. Remove old or dead batteries from the charger.

5. Never recharge non-rechargeable batteries.

6. Do not short-circuit the supply terminals by inserting anything other than the charger

into the Power Port.

7. If you will be storing the toy for an extended time period, remove batteries to prevent

leakage.

8. Be sure to insert batteries with the correct polarities.

9. Rechargeable batteries are not recommended, as the performance may suffer.

10. Do not play near water. If helicopter gets wet allow to dry for at least 3 days in a dry

cool place.

Hold down button until

charge is complete

Be sure to fly Air Hogs® in a grassy, wide-open area free of trees,

overhead wires and other obstructions. This will ensure soft landings,

and will thus help extend the life of your helicopter. If your helicopter

gets caught in a tree or other object, NEVER climb up to get it yourself.

Call an adult for help.
