1.3 Quadcopter Battery Installation

Push the battery into the battery compartment in the correct direction (Figure 7). After the battery is properly installed, a “click” sound will be heard, indicating that the battery has been fastened�

An incorrectly installed battery may cause

● Bad contact

● Affect ight safety

● Inability to take off.

Figure 7

1.4 Caution

(1) Do not directly pull out the battery when the Quadcopter is switched on as it may damage the power supply connector�

(2) For long term storage, discharge the battery to 40%-50% power, and store in a specied battery box. Discharge/charge the battery once every three months to

maintain battery life�

(3) Replace the battery after it has been discharged over 300 times� Completely discharge a battery prior to disposal�

(4) Replace the battery if your current battery swells up or is damaged in any way, to avoid re and explosion.

(5) Do not charge expanded or damaged batteries�

(6) Please pay attention to the battery charging process in order to avoid accidents, and make sure there are no ammable or combustible materials around the

battery and the charger�

(7) Battery safety is extremely important� Please refer to Disclaimer for more precautions�

2.2 Flight Control System

Quadcopter is equipped with AEE ight control system to provide incredible ease of use and stability. In addition to supporting basic ight maneuvers such as climb,

descend, roll and pitch, it also supports failsafe protection, battery level alarms and other functions.

System Component Modules Function

Master Controller The core part of the ight control system controls all modules in a centralized way GPS & Compass Used for positioning and navigation Indicator Indicates current ight control system status. Used to navigate during night ight

The rst situation indicates that the GPS signal is good and the quadcopter is in

the auto y mode (1. auto landing, or 2. low-battery auto landing); now the remote

control can regain control of the quadcopter via the S4 switch�

Remaining ON N/A Blinks once

Remaining ON N/A Blinking Slowly The camera is recording

1) When Remote control battery power is low, a warning alert sounds (di didi di didi…).

2 ) When the remote control or the APP sends a command for video recording, the video recording indicator on the remote control will blink.

The second situation indicates the joystick calibration status. During calibrating,

the indicator blinks. When the green light will go out, the calibration completes

successfully. If the calibration does not complete, the green indicator will continue

blinking�

Blinking once during Capture: once photo is taken (only to the AEE S61 camera mounted on the quadcopter)�

3 Preparing Propellers

uadcopter adopts 10-inch propellers, with black and gray color propeller nuts. Propellers are consumable items. Please purchase these accessories separately, if necessary�
