Dromida Verso Dide 10 Instructions Manual

CHARGING
Plug the charger into any USB port on a computer or to a USB to AC adapter (not included, use part DIDP1125 as an optional accessory). The LED on the charger will illuminate solid red while the battery is charging. The red LED will go out when charging is complete.
NEVER
leave the battery unattended while
charging.
DO NOT
allow the USB port to power down
while the charger is connected to the battery.
ALWAYS
unplug the charger from the USB port
and the battery when charging is complete.
NEVER charge a puffed or damaged battery.
CONTROLLER SETUP
Remove the battery cover to insert the included (4) AA batteries. Reinstall the battery cover.
LINKING
1. Turn on the controller with the left stick at its lowest position. The LED on the controller will  ash, indicating it is waiting for the arming sequence.
2. Slide the flight battery into the slot on the underside of the Verso. Connect the  ight battery to the Verso and
place it upright on a level surface. The LEDs on the quad will  ash rapidly while the quad is linking to the controller. Then they will blink slowly while it waits for the arming routine.
3. In order to arm the Verso you must move the throttle stick to full throttle and then back down to the lowest position. The LEDs on the quad will go solid. The Verso is now armed and ready to  y.

CONTROL RATES
The responsiveness of the Verso to the control sticks is
adjustable using the rate buttons on the controller. Beginner pilots will want the Verso less responsive and should choose the 20% rate button. As your piloting skills improve, the higher rates can be used for more aggressive  ying. Be sure to have more  ying space when using the 60% and
100% control rates.
When the control rate is changed, you will see the selected control rate momentarily displayed on the controller LCD screen.
FLYING BASICS
If this is your  rst time piloting a multi-rotor craft, you will  nd that the controls are intuitive and you will have a feel for basic  ight by the end of your  rst battery. Mastering  ying, however, takes some practice and patience. We recommend that you always  y in control and within your piloting ability.
1. Place the Verso on the ground at least 6 feet away with the tail facing you. Make sure the control rate is set to 20%.
2. Take off by “slowly” advancing the left stick until the quad takes off. Change the altitude using small movements.
3. Use the right stick to make the Verso move left, right, forward or backward. Keep in mind that when the nose is facing you, the right stick controls will appear to be operating in opposite directions, i.e., moving the right stick to the right will now move the quad left from the pilot’s perspective.
4. Moving the left stick to the left or right will rotate the nose of the Verso left or right.
5. Always use small stick movements to control the Verso until you are familiar with the how the model responds to the controls.
6. Always unplug the Verso’s battery and turn off the controller when you’re done  ying.
INVERTED FLIGHT
Unlike your typical multi-rotor craft, the Verso is capable of taking off upside-down or  ipping itself inverted during  ight with the press of a button and then continuing to  y normally. Sensors on the Verso automatically detect which side of the quad is facing up and will adjust the rotation of the motors accordingly. Because of this feature, there is some functionality that is unique to the Verso:
When the Verso is  ipped 180º using the  ip button in
the direction of front-to-back, the forward and reverse controls are automatically swapped so your perception of what is forward has not changed. This means that if the colored props were considered the front of the quad before you  ipped front-to-back, they will now be the rear of the quad.
When the Verso is  ipped 180º left-to-right, the controls do not change.
Whenever the throttle is moved to the lowest position,
the direction control always defaults to the colored props being the front of the quad. It does not matter which side of the quad is facing up.
The default setting for the  ip
function is 180º. To change the  ip function to 360º, press and hold the  ip button for at least two seconds. The transmitter beeps once for
180º mode and beeps twice
for 360º mode.

LOW BATTERY INDICATORS
Total  ight time with a fully charged battery will be approximately 7 minutes if the Verso is  own until the automatic cutoff shuts
down the motors. When the battery voltage approaches the cutoff voltage, then the LEDs on the Verso will  ash. At this point the  ip function will be disabled. We recommend you land the Verso and charge the  ight battery.
When the controller batteries become depleted, the battery symbol on the controller LCD screen will  ash and you will hear an audible warning.
ROTOR BLADE REPLACEMENT
If a rotor blade needs replacement, use the prop removal tool or a thin,  at bladed screwdriver to pry off the damaged rotor blade. The new blade can be pressed onto the motor shaft with just  nger pressure. Take care not to bend the replacement rotor blade when installing.
The replacement blades are
labeled A and B. Use this diagram to ensure you are installing the blade in the correct location. Colored blades always go in the front.
CONTROLLER THUMB PADS
Optional thumb pads are
included with the Verso to be installed onto the controller stick ends. The pads may
reduce the chance of your thumbs slipping from the ends of the controller sticks.
Their use is a matter of
preference and they can be
easily removed again if you decide you would rather  y without them. Twist and pull off the controller stick tips and press on the thumb pads. You can also install them onto the ends of the stick tips.
LED LIGHTS
The LED lights which can be seen at the base of each arm can
be toggled off and on using the light button on the controller. When the LEDs are turned off you will see a lightbulb icon appear on the controller LCD screen.
Note: There are other buttons on the controller which do not have any function with the Verso.
These are shown in the
picture.
TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM: The Verso will not respond to the controller. SOLUTION: (1) Turn off the controller and disconnect the
battery for the Verso. Re-link the quadcopter and
the controller. (2) Ensure that you are arming the Verso. (3) Charge or change the battery on the quadcopter.
PROBLEM: Unable to  ip. SOLUTION: Battery voltage is too low.
PROBLEM: Quadcopter is shaking. SOLUTION: Check the props for damage.
PROBLEM: The props spin but the quadcopter will not take off. SOLUTION: (1) Rotor blades are incorrectly installed. See the
Rotor Blade Replacement section. (2) Recharge the  ight battery.
