### 5.2 Power on the Remote Controller (1) Set S1 and S2 switches to the upper most position and place all sticks in the mid-point. (2) Toggle power switch to the right to switch on. (3) There will be a power on indicator beep. If the remote controller is set to be CE compliant, then there will be one beep, while the FCC compliant version will emit two beeps. The battery level indicator displays the current battery level. The indicator will blink green quickly, indicating the remote controller and receiver are linking. Once fully linked, the power indicator will change to a solid green.

If the low voltage warning alert sounds (refer to Remote Controller Power LED Status Information (Page 17) for

details), please recharge the battery as soon as possible. Using the incorrect type of charging cable may cause damage. Following long term storage, recharge the battery before use. 

### 5.3 Remote Controller Power LED Status Information

### 5.4 Battery Level Indicator Built-in LiPo Battery: The remote controller includes a recharg eable LiPo battery with a capacity of 2000mAh. You can monitor the current battery level using the LED indicators on the front panel of the remote controller as the f gure shown:

The remote controller will show a blinking LED and sound an alert when the voltage drops below 3.45V, then automatically power off after 3 seconds. This process will repeat even if you power cycle the remote controller. If this low voltage warning occurs during fight, the remote controller will automatically power off, causing the aircraft to enter Failsafe mode, which cannot be interrupted (refer to Failsafe Function (Page27) for details). It is strongly recommended that you recharge the battery immediately when the 3.45V-3.5V low voltage warning occurs. 

### 5.5 Antenna Orientation Keep the antennas pointing skyward, perpendicular to the ground for maximum remote controller range during fight. Battery Level Indicator
