FLYING TIPS
• It is recommended that you operate the helicopter in a wide indoor space. You should allow at least a 10-foot radius
range.
• The helicopter is designed for INDOOR USE ONLY. Never pilot the helicopter near buildings, power lines, people,
animals, vehicles, homes, trees or other large objects nearby.
• Make sure you are not wearing any loose or long hanging clothing.
• Parental guidance or adult supervision is suggested at all times.
• If you are flying the helicopter with others, make sure all spectators are behind you.
• For best performance, it is recommended that you operate the helicopter in zero wind conditions. Close all open doors
or windows, and turn off any nearby fans. Wind can greatly affect the performance of the helicopter.
HELICOPTER FLIGHT ADJUSTMENTS
If your helicopter rotates uncontrollably, you may need to utilize the TRIM button. If your helicopter over rotates
CLOCKWISE (to the right), push and release the LEFT side of Trim button rapidly and repeatedly until the turning stops and proper flight is maintained. If your helicopter over rotates COUNTER-CLOCKWISE (to the left), push and release the
RIGHT side of Trim button in the same manner until the problem is resolved.

INFRARED MULTI CHANNEL CONTROL SYSTEM
Your Chrome Flyer™ utilizes an automatic multi-channel selection system that allows up to
3 people to fly side by side in the same wireless range.
FOR ONE PERSON PLAY:
1. Before starting, make sure that both your controller and helicopter are in the power off position.
D.
2. Select the desired flight channel (a, b or c) from the controller and turn the controller on (see diagram D).
3. Next, turn on the helicopter and set it on a table or hold it in your hand from underneath. Make sure your hands and body are
away from the helicopter blades.
4. Move the left throttle stick all the way up and back down again one time to pair the helicopter to the controller. NOTE: The
helicopter blades will NOT spin.
5. Lift the left throttle stick slowly one more time. Now your blades should spin and you are ready to play!
6. Note if you turn your helicopter off or the battery runs out, you will need to re”pair” the helicopter and controller.
FOR TWO OR THREE PERSON PLAY:
7. Before starting, make sure that ALL the helicopters and controllers are in the power off position.
8. Each individual player must select a different flight channel (a, b or c) on his/her own controller. If more than one person is on
the same flight channel, there will be interference.
9. Only one person at a time should pair their helicopter by following steps 3 thru 5 above.
10. When a player’s helicopter is paired and working it should be left on while the next player/s pair their helicopters.
11. Note if you turn your helicopter off or the battery runs out, you will need to re “pair” the helicopter and controller.
HELICOPTER WARNING:
The helicopter blades revolve at high speeds and can cause damage to the user, spectators and animals. Stand away from the helicopter to reduce the risk of getting into the flight path. Warn spectators that you will be flying your helicopter so that they are aware of its position. Before flight, inspect the rotor blades to make certain that the blades are securely fastened to the helicopter.
