DISCLAIMER

Please read this disclaimer carefully before using this product. This product is a hobby with motors but not a toy which is not suitable for people under the age of

18. By using this product, you hereby agree to this disclaimer and signify that you have read them fully. You agreed that you are responsible for your own conduct and content while using this product, and for any consequences thereof.

Before you fly the drone

1) Make sure all connections are good, and keep children and animals away during flying, firmware update, system calibration and parameter setup.

2) Always fly the drone away from unsafe conditions, such as obstacles, crowds, high-voltage lines, etc.

3) Do not use in bad weathers such as rainy day, snow, windy (more than moderate breeze), hail, lighting, tornadoes, hurricanes etc.

4) Check whether the propellers and the motors are installed correctly and firmly before flight. Make sure the rotation direction of each propeller is correct.

5) Check whether all parts of the drone are in good condition before flight. Do not fly with aging or broken parts.

6) Never overcharge LiPo batteries. Do not charge above 4.2V per cell. When the battery is fully charged, disconnect it from the charger. Never leave the battery charger unattended during charging.

7) Never discharge batteries to below 3.3V per cell

8) Remove batteries when not using the drone.

Auto Go Home

If the drone has been started up correctly and the GPS signal is good (with 6 or more satellites are found), the drone can undergo Go-Home features when it lost signal with radio controller

1) If the attitude of the drone more than 20 meters, it will go home horizontally.

2) If the attitude of the drone below 20 meters, it will ascend to 20 meters and go home horizontally.

3) If the attitude of the drone is below 20 meters and behind an object, there is high risk of crash during ascends.

4) If the drone go home path is blocked by object, there is high risk of crash during “auto-go home” process.

Important - How to take over the control again during “Auto Go Home”

When the drone is undergoing auto go home feature, you can take over the control again by performing the following procedures.

If the transmitter is on, push the throttle stick to middle position and then switch the G Switch Down(towards you) and Up(away from you) and you can control the drone again.

If the transmitter is off, push throttle stick to down position, turn on the transmitter, push throttle to middle, switch the G

switch Down(towards you) and Up(away from you) to take over the control again.

Compass Calibration

Please follow the following procedures to calibrate the compass calibration

1) Switch the G switch up and down quickly for 6 to 10 times, The LED indicator on the drone will turn on constantly yellow.

2) (Fig.1) Hold your Multi-rotor horizontal and rotate it around the gravitational force line (about 360o) until the LED on the drone changes to constant green, and then go to the next step.

3) (Fig.2) Hold your Multi-rotor vertically and rotate it (nose down & tail up) around the gravitational force line (about 360 o) until the LED turns off, meaning the

calibration is finished

4) If the calibration was successful, calibration mode will exit automatically.

5) If the LED keeps flashing quickly Red, the calibration has failed. Switch the control mode switch one time to cancel the calibration, and then re-start from step 2.

LONG Press for Changing Frequency SHORT Press for Changing Channel

Our video transmitter has up to 32 different video channels available to avoid interference with other channels.

If two or more drones are flying at the same time, try to select different video frequency to avoid video interference. The bigger different in video frequency between drones, the less interference generated.

Default Setting is channel 5665M. Always check the supported channels of you FPV

reception devices such as monitor, goggle

FAQ Lost connection with radio controller

If you’re the drone cannot response to the radio controller stick travel, the connection between radio controller and receiver may lost and you can try to re-bind them by following the procedure below:

Press the switch inside the receiver twice with small screwdrivers to make LED indicator turns PURPLE to set the

control mode to D Bus Mode. (Skip this step if it is default in Purple light)

Use the small screwdrivers to press and hold the switch inside the receiver until it is flashing with light in Blue and

Purple, Switch on the radio controller, it will start searching for available receiver. Receiver will stop flashing while

the bind process complete and the radio controller will the signal strength on the screen
