LINKING

Your KODO comes with a Power-On failsafe. This is designed to
ensure that the motors will not start until the KODO has detected
the controller.

1. Turn on the controller with the throttle
at its lowest position.

2. Connect the battery to the Kodo HD
and place it on a level surface. Listen
for two beeps. The red LED at the
back of the quadcopter will start
 ashing slowly.

3. Move the throttle to its highest position. Listen for a beep

4. Move the throttle back to its lowest position. Listen for three
beeps.

The Kodo’s motors are now armed and the quad is ready to  y. The

red LED on the Kodo HD will become steady.

CORRECTING DRIFT

It is normal for the KODO to drift slightly. However, if it drifts in any direction
consistently, press the trim button that is opposite the movement as many times
as needed to eliminate the drift.

Basic Flight Advance the throttle slowly until your Kodo HD rises into the air.

The controls are very sensitive and small stick movements should be used to the

control the quadcopter. If you get into trouble and see that the Kodo HD is going to
crash, move the throttle to its lowest position immediately.

The LED on the Kodo HD will flash slowly when the battery voltage is getting

low. Land as soon as possible and unplug the battery. Always recharge the
battery or batteries before storing the Kodo HD.
