CHARGING

Plug the AC wall adapter into a 120V outlet
and connect the balance charger to the

solid RED. Plug the white balance plug on
the battery to the 2S port on the charger.
When charging, the charge status LED
will illuminate solid RED. When charge
is complete the LED will change to solid
GREEN. Typical charge time of a depleted
battery is approximately 2 hours. NOTE:
A blinking red charge status LED indicates
a charging error.

● NEVER leave the battery unattended while charging.

Arm the transmitter by moving the throttle stick to full throttle and then down

to low throttle. The transmitter will beep once confirming that it is now armed.

QUADCOPTER SENSOR CALIBRATION

If the quadcopter is constantly drifting in the same direction or the quad is not
maintaining altitude, or any time a new  ight control board has been installed,
the sensors on the Dromida XL should be calibrated.

1. Calibrate the sensors before the  rst  ight. Center all the trim adjustments.
To center the trim settings, hold down one side of the trim button until you

hear a long beep. If the controller stops beeping, release the trim button
and hold down the other side.

2. Place your Dromida XL on a

level surface and link the
quadcopter with the controller
and arm the transmitter.

3. Press and hold the right stick in its

lower right corner.

4. Move the left stick down and to the

right. When the quad LEDs start
to  ash, release both sticks. The
LEDs will stop  ashing when the
calibration is complete.

FLYING

PROP GUARDS

NOTE: Prop guards are included to help protect the propellers from accidental

contact with obstacles. We recommend they be installed prior to your  rst  ight.

Fit the bottom prop guard retainer over the alignment pin on the motor cover.
Press the prop guard in place as shown with the pins in the alignment holes. It
should  t snugly over the screw bosses on the retainer. Secure the prop guard
and retainer using three screws included in the package. Repeat this procedure
for the other three prop guards.

LINKING AND ARMING

1. Turn on the controller.

2. Connect the battery to the Dromida XL and place
it on a level surface. The LED on the quad will flash
rapidly when the quad is linked to the controller
and ready to fly.
flash slowly until the transmitter is armed.

The LEDs on the quad will then

ALWAYS unplug the battery after

flying! Damage to the battery

may result if left connected.
