Personal Responsibility To Drone Maintenance
As a drone owner it is your personal responsibility to maintain the drone for safe operation and ensure you
calibrate the compass whenever you have moved to a new location. Failure to check your drone could result in
erratic flying and a crash. Make sure you read the Maintenance section on page 24.
Wind Speed
Never attempt to fly the drone in winds where you have no experience. Start flying your drone on a calm day. Then
gradually fly it in higher winds and gain experience slowly. Our recommendation is to avoid flying in wind speeds
greater than 30kph or 17knots.
Pilot Ability
The more you use the drone, the better your flying skills will become. Practice in ATTI mode to upskill yourself.
ATTI Mode provides no position hold or GPS assistance. Unfortunately, no GPS system is 100% reliable, so in the
event of a GPS glitch, magnetic or signal interference you will need to MANUALLY pilot the drone home without
the aid of GPS MODE by selecting ATTI Mode.
A useful APP is UAV forecast - this APP tells you if the GPS satellite signal will be good or bad.

Safety Precautions
This quadcopter can be extremely dangerous and could cause personal injury. Be careful when flying and
operating it. Please follow the contents of this manual and comply with your relevant local laws and regulations
when flying.
Before each flight, please ensure that all parts of the aircraft are properly installed and that the order of rotation of the four motors
are in accordance with the rotation sequence in this manual. The aircraft will not be able to fly and/or may cause damage to the aircraft
if the ‘propellers’ are installed incorrectly.
The lithium batteries should be removed from the aircraft after each flight. When not in use, the lithium batteries should be placed
in a reproof pouch or container and stored in a cool environment to avoid accidents. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
We strongly recommend you use a flight simulator to practice flying rst. When flying, please fly in open areas and
not indoors, and ensure you fully understand the aircrafts different flight modes.
When flying in GPS mode, should you nd that the aircraft is flying unstably or uncontrollably, please switch the flight
mode to attitude mode to regain full control of the aircraft to avoid accidents.
When flying in GPS mode, please make sure that the GPS has 3D positioning (GPS 3D positioning is conrmed when
red LED status light flashes 6 or more times). After the GPS 3D has conrmed position and the motor is unlocked, the
aircraft will record the current position as the return point. When the return mode is activated, the drone will fly back to the
return point and land automatically.
Pay attention to distinguish the front and back of the drone by the red marks on the 2 arms of the quadcopter
representing the front.
Propeller Safety
The Poseidon PRO uses carbon bre as the composition material for the propellers, providing great strength and
it also improves the flight characteristics of the drone. The carbon bre composition material used is very hard
and can cause signicant injury to persons or animals – please always be aware and keep clear of the spinning
blades.
When updating rmware for the flight controller, make sure the propellers are removed from the aircraft to prevent
injury to you and others.
Prior to any flight, carefully inspect all propellers. If a propeller is damaged (Even slightly damaged) - replace the
propeller immediately. Do not attempt to fly the aircraft with a damaged propeller as this can cause the aircrafts
stability to deteriorate or become unmanageable, resulting in the potential loss of the drone and/or causing
personal injury.
Make sure that all propellers are installed in the correct order as per the manual’s instructions.
