how to charge your tornado rotorz
1 Slide the controller’s rear bottom-right compartment cover open and extract the charging lead.
2 Ensure the power on the Helicopter and Controller is turned off and then insert the plug into the charging socket of the helicop-ter. Do not force this plug in and ensure the plug is secured cor-rectly. The plug can only be secured in one way to ensure correct polarity.
3 Turn the controller on now. The LED will change from red to yel-low to indicate that charging is underway.

For best performance, use only new aa 1.5v alkaline nonrecharge-able batteries. Do not mix different types of batteries. Do not leave batteries in the controller for extended periods of time. Do not mix new and used batteries in the controller. Remove exhausted batter-ies from the controller and replace with new batterbatter-ies. The LED in controller will flash when batteries need replacing.
1 Use a small screwdriver to remove the screw that holds the bat-tery cover case to the controller.
2 Place 6 new aa batteries in the battery compartment, observing the proper polarities, as indicated (+/-).
3 Replace cover and tighten screw to secure. · Power indicator

4 The helicopter takes 25-30 minutes to reach a full charge. Do not leave the toy unattended whilst charging as there is a risk of fire and damage to property owing to the fact that Lithium Polymer batteries are known to be potentially dangerous.
5 When the LED changes back to red, pull the plug out of the heli-copter’s charging socket. Your Tornado Rotorz will now be able to fly for 5-6 minutes after a full charge.
how to fly your tornado rotorz
Set the band on the controller to the same as that on the helicopter. Set the On/OFF switch on the helicopter to On and then switch the On/OFF switch on the controller to On. Place the helicopter on the ground with the tail of the helicopter pointing towards you and the nose of the helicopter pointing away from you. This helicopter is
designed to fly indoors, the most appropriate place to fly is a large room. Make sure all household appliances are turned off when flying, including electric heaters, air conditioners and any other dangerous objects are turned off or moved away. it is highly important to ensure there is no moving air currents in the flying arena.
6 after flying, allow 25-30 minutes to pass before charging the helicopter again. This ensures enough time for the Lipo battery to cool down and prevent any potential damage to your helicopter and property.
ascending
Push the left throttle stick up to increase spin speed of the main rotor blade and make the ‘copter lift.
Descending
Pull the left throttle stick down to decrease spin speed of the main rotor blade and make the ‘copter descend.

Steering
Move the right rudder joystick to the left, and the ‘copter will steer to the left; move it right, and the ‘copter will respond accordingly.
Moving backward
Push the right rudder joystick down to make the ‘copter’s nose tilt up and move it backward.
nB
if the ‘copter rotates of its own volition (ie without exertion of the control sticks), adjust the controller’s rudder control/steering trim by tapping it gently to the left if the ‘copter’s rotation is clockwise or right if the ‘copter’s rotation is anti-clockwise.
Moving forward
Push the right rudder joystick up to make the ‘copter’s nose tilt down and move it forward.

Note: Adjust the dial as required until the rotation has stopped.
troubleshooting
The ‘copter and/or controller shows no sign of power.
Replace the aa batteries (ensuring correct polarities are observed) in the controller and/or recharge the ‘copter.
Check that both components are set to ‘On’.
The ‘copter doesn’t respond efficiently, despite both ‘copter’s and controller‘s batteries having been checked and turned to ‘On’.
Double-check your ‘copter’s control distance. Try moving to a different playing area – other radio waves in the vicinity caused by other electrical equipment can cause interference to your signal. Check that there is no other R/C toy being operated in close proximity on the same or a similar signal.
