Battery Safety
TIPS:
- For your first flight, ensure there are no strong air currents from
fans, air conditioners or open windows.
- Adjust the trigger to find the correct position so your Vectron
Ultralite will hover preventing it from flying too high or too low.
It will take some practice to get the hang of it.
- Always point the thrust transmitter towards your Vectron Ultralite
to ensure a steady controllable flight.
- Do not try to land your Vectron Ultralite on to the launch platform.
Try to land on any open floor area.
- Your Vectron Ultralite can also take off from any smooth flat surface.
Do not try to take off from deep pile carpet or soft furniture. This
may jam the propeller before take off.

Battery Safety Guidelines
- T o prevent battery leakage: B e sure to insert batteries correctly.
- B atteries should be replaced by adult.
- Never dispose of batteries in fire as this may cause them to explode.
- Do not mix old and new batteries (replace all batteries at the same time).
- Do not mix Alkaline, standard (C arbon-Zinc) or rechargeable
(Nickel-C admium) batteries (or equivalent). Only batteries of the same
or equivalent type as recommended are to be used.
- Non-rechargeable batteries are not to be recharged.
- Always remove exhausted or dead batteries from product. R emove
batteries from product which is not going to be used for a long time.

WAR NING :
Never recharge your Vectron Ultralite a second time
without having flown first. Continuous recharging without
discharging first, will damage the Ultralite battery.
CAUTION: Always recharge your Vectron Ultralite with supplied
CAUTION: Always recharge your Vectron Ultralite with supplied
AC Adaptor! Operate with third-party AC Adaptor may cause
damage to this product.
2)
NOT E S :
-
The red and green LED will blink alternately. It will take
approximately 10 minutes to charge your Vectron Ultralite
completely; at this point the green LED will flash continuously.
- When your Vectron Ultralite is new or has not been flown for a long
time it will take several charge/discharge cycles for the battery to
reach its full flight time.
E nsure your Vectron Ultralite is
switched OF F , then connect the
charging cord to your V ectron
Ultralite.

Attention to maximize the life of your Vectron
Ultralite
Ultralite
- Avoid continuously running at full power against a low ceiling, as this will shorten
the saucers motor life.
- nstead hover and swoop below ceiling height or fly outdoors if wind condition
permits.
- T his will insure many hour of flying fun with your Vectron ultralite.
