When you get that message "PWRON" it means power on, AKA the charger is plugged in and working. Once you get that message, you then need to switch your gun to "On" like you turn it on, then it will say "CHARG" which means it is charging. Remember to have your gun switched off before you plug in the charger. Once its says "PWRON", switch on the gun like you regularly turn it on, then it'll say "CHARG" then its all good, just let it charge.

ok it says charg right now but i was wondering why all of the sudden my battery went completely dead. do you think i have a defective batery or something along those lines?

Nah man, it does that sometimes. Say you have 3 bars on the meter, then you play a day, at the end of the day you have 1 bar left, but you turn off the gun. While the gun is off or "sleeping", the battery meter shows increased battery or the same amount of bars because it gains back a little power by resting. Its hard to explain, but it just kinda tricks the battery bar meter. So dont worry about that, it'll do that sometimes if the battery runs down and you just turn it off, it'll show increased battery for a short time then it will all of a sudden die on you(if the battery is that low) or it might just drop bars on the meter, depending how dead the battery really is.

in the manual it says to turn the gun on and into safe mode and then plug the charger in. and it says to leave the gun on while charging.

Its better to have the gun switched off before you plug in the charger to isolate the battery, then you switch it on. AND, I TOLD HIM TO LEAVE THE GUN SWITCHED ON WHILE CHARGING, READ MY POST YOU IDIOT. Dont post your useless post just to argue with me when you dont know what you are talking about, I know what I'm talking about thanks. :321:

Lets make things simple on how to charge a gun.

1. Plug charger into car or wall adaptor, make sure red light on charger is on

2. Turn Angel ON and leave it in safe mode

3. Plug charger into gun, while gun is ON and gun is to remain ON for the duration of the charge.

If these steps are done correctly, the Battery meter on your LCD, IR3, A4, and Fly should be cascading. If you own a Speed the lights will cascade.

If you get any kind of error message, you either didn't follow the steps correctly, the trigger is set to short, or there is a possible problem with your battery or board.
