WARNING - PLEASE READ BEFORE PROCEEDING
This R/C helicopter is not a toy! If misused or abused, it can cause serious bodily injury and/or damage to property. Fly only in open areas and preferably
at a dedicated R/C flying site. We suggest having a qualified instructor carefully inspect your helicopter before its first flight. Please carefully read and
follow all instructions included with this helicopter, your radio control system and any other components purchased separately.
●Just because the Shogun 400 V2 helicopter is powered by an electric motor doesn't mean that you shouldn't exercise caution when flying and
operating it. You must use the same amount of caution during use as when flying and operating a glow-powered helicopter.
●We strongly suggest that when you first begin flying the Shogun 400 V2 helicopter that you perform only basic maneuvers, such as hovering, until you
are more familiar with the setup and flight characteristics of the helicopter. This will give you time to feel comfortable with the way the helicopter reacts
to control inputs and power.
●You must be cautious when plugging the flight battery into the helicopter. Unlike glow-powered helicopters that use a clutch assembly to allow the
engine to idle without the rotor blades spinning, an electric helicopter features no such clutch. You must be sure that your transmitter is turned on and the
power/collective control stick is in the full idle position before plugging in the flight battery. This will prevent any chance of the rotor blades spinning and
harming you while plugging in the flight battery.

●Do NOT discharge at a rate greater than the maximum continuous discharge.
●Do NOT use or charge if the battery is hot.
●ONLY use a charger made for Lithium Polymer batteries.
●Do NOT charge at a rate higher than 1C. Example: if the battery’s rating is 340mAH, then the charger’s charge rate must be set at 340mAH or less.

●Set the charger to 1C (charge at 1/2C or less for the first 5 cycles).
●Check polarity and then connect battery to charger.
●In use, do not over-discharge or exceed maximum discharge.
