SAFETY WARNINGS AND OPERATING GUIDELINES
This Product is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience
and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the Product by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not have access to
the Product.
Even though the Delta Drone may look small and light, there are
important safety considerations to bear in mind when operating this
device. A Drone of this class has motors which are capable of developing
a maximum output in excess of 186 watts, rotating at 10,000 RPM. This
makes the Rotor Blades VERY DANGEROUS when they are in motion.
They are more than capable of injuring people and damaging property.
For these reasons, always observe the following guidelines:
• DO NOT fly the Drone within 10m of people anywhere. Remember,
your Drone weighs nearly 1 kilogram and is more than capable of hurting
someone severely or damaging the environment around it. Consider
your personal liability when you choose to operate your Delta Drone.
• DO NOT attempt to handle or catch the Drone while it is in operation.
• DO NOT attempt to handle the Drone while the Rotor Blades are still
spinning.
• DO NOT allow others to approach the Drone while it is in operation
and the Rotor Blades are in motion.
• Always make sure that you have completely “disarmed” the Drone
and removed each Rotor Blade before handling.
• Always maintain Visual Line-of-Sight (VLOS) with the Drone.
• Always fly between ocial sunrise and ocial sunset, local time.
• Always stay below 330ft (100m) in height.
• Always ensure that your visibility has a range of at least 1.8 miles (3km).
• Never engage in careless or reckless manoeuvres. Consider the
impact reckless behaviour might have on other Drone enthusiasts
and future Pilots.
• Always conduct a pre-flight inspection based on the Pre-Flight Checklist
included with your Delta Drone. Always carry your Pre-Flight Checklist
on your person, when you intend to operate your Drone.
7
EN
• Never operate your Drone when intoxicated or when you are
incapacitated in any other way.
Delta Drone Features.
The Delta Drone is an easy to fly, GPS enabled Quadcopter.
Suitable for both new Pilot’s and experienced Drone flyers, alike.
If you are new to the fun of flying Drones, you can expect to be up
and flying in a short time. Of course you need to familiarise yourself
with the safety, operating and controls of the Delta Drone first!
Give yourself time to become accustomed to the feel of the Drone
and eect of the controls.
If you ever suspect that you are losing control of your Drone, you can
simply hit the Return to Home button (RTH) and your Drone should
return to its Take-o Location, accurate to 5 metres.
The Delta Drone features 3 modes:
1) Manual Mode
2) GPS Position Hold
3) Smart Orientation Mode (SOM)
These three modes are accessed by using the switch on the top right
of the Delta Drone Transmitter.
The Transmitter also hosts the Return to Home Button. This is located
in the centre of the Transmitter and has an image of a house on it.
When the Mode Switch, the Left Throttle Stick and the Return to Home
button are not in the correct position, you will not be able to ‘arm’ your
Drone and the Transmitter’s smart alarms will sound to warn you.
The Transmitter also features a Battery Light, located under the RTH
button. This light will change colour as the batteries in the Transmitter
run down. The Delta Drone Transmitter is powered by 4 x AA batteries
(not included).
The Delta Drone battery is capable of powering the Drone for up to 17
minutes of flight time. This will be dependent on the manner in which the
Drone is piloted and the conditions of the flight.

EN
The Delta Drone has removable Rotor Blades for easy transport, storage
and most of all, increased safety.
You can mount any GoPro™ or Kaiser Baas Action Camera to the bottom of
the Delta Drone, to record your flight and capture aerial footage.
For optimised and smoother footage, the Delta Drone also has an optional
Gimbal (KBA15008 - sold separately) that supports the GoPro Hero 3™ &
Hero 3+™ and Hero 4™.

The Delta Drone features LED lights under each arm. These are the best
way of telling which way the Delta Drone is oriented.

The rear of the Drone is fitted with Green LED lights and the front of the
Drone is fitted with Red LED lights.
The LED lights also function as a Drone Health Warning System. You
should always monitor the LED lights on the Delta Drone because they are
the primary warning indicator if a problem occurs or if the Low Voltage
Alert (LVA) has been triggered.

LOW VOLTAGE ALERT
The Low Voltage Alert is trigged when the battery has less than 2 minutes
of flight time left. When the LVA is triggered, the Drone should be landed
as soon as possible to prevent an unexpected loss in power. If the Drone
loses power completely, the Drone will hard-land which can damage the
Drone and its components.
[WARNING] Failure to land the Drone when the LVA is triggered may result
in a significant reduction of battery longevity and re-charge ability.
FAILSAFE MODE
The Drone features a Failsafe Mode that will return the Drone to its Take-o
Location in the event that the Drone:
• Loses Transmitter signal.
• Is flown beyond the range of the Transmitter.
• The RTH (Return to Home) button is pressed.
If one of these events is triggered, the Drone will enter RTH Mode and
return to its Take-o Location.
[WARNING] Failsafe Mode will only engage if the Drone has correctly
acquired GPS Lock (indicated by a solid Yellow LED Status Light).
[WARNING] Taking-o without acquiring GPS Lock will prevent the
Failsafe Mode from activating and may cause the Drone to crash
or be lost upon landing.

TRANSMITTER SPECIFICATIONS
Transmitter Diagram:
The Transmitter features a number of dierent modes to control the Drone.
There are 3 mode switch positions on the Transmitter:
Position 1 Manual Mode
This Mode allows the Drone be flown under
full manual control, without GPS assistance.
The altitude and position of the Delta Drone
is determined completely by the Pilot. The
Drone will orient according to the direction it
was placed prior to being ‘armed’.
[WARNING] The rear of the Drone is always
the side with the circular Status LED. Take
note of which direction the Drone is facing,
especially when in Manual Mode.
Manual Mode is required to arm the motors and to Lock GPS.
Always start in Manual Mode when you turn on your Drone.
If the Drone is not in Manual Mode for arming and GPS lock,
the smart alarm will sound.

Position 2 GPS Position Hold.
GPS Position Hold does not change the way the
Drone is oriented. It simply locks the position
of the aircraft in place – in a hover. The altitude
is fixed when the Throttle is at 50%. It will only
increase or decrease in altitude when the Throttle
is pushed repectively to the 70% or 30% position.
Position 3 Smart Orientation Mode.
Smart Orientation Mode (SOM) is a special
function that changes the way the Drone handles
orientation. It utilises the internal compass and
GPS co-ordinates and will lock the orientation
of the Drone in place, relative to the direction
the Drone was facing when it was first turned
on and armed.
Smart Orientation Mode enables you to control
the movement of the Delta Drone from your
point of view regardless of which way the Drone
is facing. You will find this mode useful for quick
positioning and returning the Drone to you when needed.
New Pilots who have not mastered Pitch and Roll movements will enjoy
using this mode because it allows you to fly in any direction without
having to worry about orientation.
So how does SOM work?
Smart Orientation Mode allows you to control the Drone relative to its
direction from the Take-o Location (i.e. where it was armed) but this
requires GPS Lock. This is why it is always important to allow the Drone
to obtain GPS Lock before take-o (indicated by a solid Yellow LED Light
Status).
Smart Orientation Mode uses the Drone’s position relative to where you
first armed the motors. This means no matter where the Drone is, pulling
the Pitch (Right Stick) back will cause it to return towards its Take-o
Location, regardless of the Drone’s actual heading. This applies no matter
where the Drone is, even when it flies behind the Pilot/Take-o Location.
