(position 1).
2. Lower the throttle.
3. Power on the transmitter.
4. Attach hook material to the quadcopter
frame and loop material to the battery.
5. Install the fl ight battery on the quadcopter
frame and secure it with the hook and
loop strap.
6. Connect the battery cable to the aircraft
power lead, noting correct polarity.
CAUTION: Connecting the battery to
the aircraft power lead with reversed
polarity will cause damage to the power
distribution board, ESCs and the battery.
Damage caused by incorrectly connecting the
battery is not covered under warranty.
Do not move the quadcopter until the receiver initializes.
