To charge your Flying Hatchimals Pixie, you'll use a standard USB charging cable. The process is straightforward, ensuring your magical companion is ready for enchanting flights in approximately 30 minutes. This method applies specifically to the rechargeable, flying versions of Hatchimals Pixies, such as the Crystal Flyers.
Step-by-Step Charging Guide
Charging your Flying Hatchimals Pixie is a simple process that prepares her for exciting aerial adventures. Follow these steps to power up your toy:
- Power Off Your Pixie: Before connecting the charger, always ensure your Hatchimals Pixie Crystal Flyer is switched off. This is a crucial safety measure and helps prevent any issues during charging.
- Connect to the Pixie: Locate the small charging port on your Pixie. This port is typically found on the edge of her skirt, at the bottom. Take the smaller end of the provided USB charging cable and plug it firmly into this port.
- Connect to Power Source: Plug the larger, opposite end of the charging cable into a standard USB outlet. This can be a USB wall adapter, a computer's USB port, or a portable power bank. Ensure the power source is active.
- Observe Charging Indicator: (While not explicitly in the reference, most electronics have one) Your Pixie will likely have an indicator light that illuminates during charging, changing color or turning off when fully charged. Consult your toy's specific manual for details on its charging light behavior.
- Allow for Charging: The Pixie usually takes about 30 minutes to achieve a full charge. Avoid leaving it connected for extended periods after it's fully charged.
- Disconnect and Fly: Once the charging cycle is complete, carefully unplug the cable from both the USB outlet and your Pixie. Your Flying Hatchimals Pixie is now ready to take flight continuously for approximately ten minutes of magical play!

- Use the Provided Cable: Always use the original charging cable that came with your Flying Hatchimals Pixie for optimal and safe charging.

Troubleshooting Common Charging Issues
If your Flying Hatchimals Pixie isn't charging as expected, here are some common solutions:
- Check Connections: Ensure the charging cable is securely plugged into both the Pixie's port and the USB outlet. A loose connection is a frequent culprit.
- Try a Different USB Outlet: Sometimes, a USB port on a computer or a wall adapter might be faulty. Try plugging the cable into a different USB power source.
- Inspect the Cable: Look for any bends, breaks, or frayed wires on the charging cable. A damaged cable will prevent proper charging.
- Ensure Pixie is OFF: Double-check that the Pixie's power switch is in the "off" position before attempting to charge.
- Consult the Manual: For specific indicator light patterns or advanced troubleshooting, refer to the official Hatchimals Pixies Crystal Flyers manual (or visit the official Hatchimals website for support).
