Product Profile

This section mainly introduces functions and installation guidelines of B4W and lists the components of the aircraft and remote controller.

Introduction

● Equipped with Vision System and GPS System, your B4W can precisely position, hover and automatically return. It is also capable of flying in the intelligent flight modes like Point of Interest, Follow Me and Waypoint Flight. Features a single-axis gimbal, your B4W can shoot 2K, 2-megapixel

photos and adjust camera angle 90 degrees in flight.

● The aircraft and camera can easily be controlled using the onboard buttons. Real-time images and

aircraft data information can be shown on the “Bugs Go” APP. Foldable hand sticks and pull-out holder design make the remote controller easier to operate and carry.

● Maximum flight speed is 40km/h and maximum flight time is 22 minutes.

Prepare Your B4W

Battery installation

Slide the battery into the battery compartment at the rear of the aircraft by pushing with appropriate force. Make sure that you hear a click sound indicating the battery is firmly installed.

Attention: The battery should be installed firmly, failure to do so may affect the flight

safety of your aircraft. The aircraft may crash due to power-cut during the flight.

Prepare the Remote Controller

Install the battery of remote controller

Step 1: Unfold the hand sticks and open the battery door (Pic. 1); Step 2: Install 2*AA batteries into the battery compartment according to the given polarity (Pic. 2);

Step 3: Close the battery compartment (Pic. 3).

Pic. 1 Pic. 2 Pic. 3

● Insert batteries with correct polarity.

● Non rechargeable batteries are not to be charged; the transmitter need 2*AA

batteries for work.

● Do not mix old and new batteries.

● Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc), or rechargeable (nickel-cadmium)

batteries.

● Rechargeable batteries are to be removed from the aircraft before being

charged.

● Rechargeable batteries are only to be charged under adult supervision.

● Exhausted batteries are to be removed from the aircraft.

● The supply terminals are not to be short-circuited.

Aircraft

This section introduces functions and features of the B4W.

Flight Modes

Your B4W has 3 flights modes:

GPS mode: ON

Slide the button up at the right side to position “ON” (Pic.1), the aircraft is in GPS mode and can

precisely position and hover by the assistance of the GPS module. Warm tips: When the GPS signal

is weak, the aircraft will automatically enter into Gesture mode( flying altitude ≥ 3 meters) or vision

positioning mode(flying altitude＜ 3 meters).

Gesture mode: OFF

Slide the button down to “OFF” (Pic.2), the aircraft is in Gesture mode that GPS is not used for positioning, and the aircraft only uses the barometer to maintain altitude. The aircraft will not fly with

precise positioning and hovering. Gesture mode requests pilot with good skill.

In Gesture Mode, the aircraft cannot position itself or brake automatically, which increases the risk of potential flight hazards. The aircraft will be also more easily affected by its surroundings. Environmental factors such as wind can result in horizontal shifting, which may present hazards,

especially when flying in confined spaces.

Vision positioning mode:

Once the GPS signal is weak or unavailable and the flying altitude is less than 3 meters, the aircraft will automatically enter into vision positioning mode. Assisted by the vision system, the aircraft could

perform precise positioning.

Return to Home (RTH)

The Return-to-Home(RTH) function brings the aircraft back to the last recorded Home Point. There

are 3 types of RTH: smart RTH, low battery RTH and failsafe RTH. This section describes these 3

scenarios in detail.

GPS Description

If a strong GPS signal (satellites over 7) was acquired before takeoff, the

Home Point

● Aircraft can not avoid obstacles when it is flying back with the RTH function

initiated.

● Aircraft can not return to the Home Point when the GPS signal is weak or

unavailable.

● Aircraft will stop ascending and immediately return to the Home Point if user

moves the throttle stick in the aircraft reaches 15 meters altitudes or beyond during Smart RTH.

● If there is no GPS signal and the remote controller signal lost for more than 6 seconds, the aircraft can not Return-to-Home but descend slowly until land

to the ground and lock the aircraft.

Home Point is the location from which the aircraft launched. The GPS signal strength is indicated by the GPS icon( ). The aircraft rear indicator lights will blink rapidly from yellow color to green color when the home point is recorded.

Smart RTH

When the GPS signal is available( more than 7 satellites is presented), use the RTH button on the

remote controller or tap the RTH button in the “Bugs Go” APP and follow the on-screen instructions to

initiate Smart RTH. During the smart RTH, you can use the remote controller to guide the aircraft

around obstacles. You can press the RTH button again to exit RTH procedure and regain control of the aircraft.

Low Battery RTH

The low battery level failsafe is triggered when the MJX intelligent battery is depleted to a point that may affect the safe return of the aircraft. Users are advised to return home or land the aircraft immediately when prompted.

1. When the aircraft rear lights flash slowly, battery icon “ ” is shown on the remote controller or

on the “Bugs Go” APP. And steady “beep beep beep... beep beep beep” sound is heard. At this

moment, the aircraft will automatically return to the Home Point if the flying altitude is beyond 50

meters or the flying distance against the home point is beyond 100 meters.

2. When the aircraft rear lights flash slowly, battery icon “ ” is shown on the remote controller or on the “Bugs Go” APP. And steady “beep..beep...beep” sound is heard. At this moment, the aircraft will

automatically return to the Home Point if the flying altitude is beyond 15 meters or the flying distance against the home point is beyond 15 meters. If the aircraft flying altitude is less than 15 meters or

the flying distance is less than 15 meters, the aircraft will automatically land to the ground.

Attention: When the aircraft is automatically return home with Low Battery RTH

function activated, you can not cancel the RTH procedure by pressing the

RTH button to regain control of the aircraft.

Failsafe RTH

If the Home Point was successfully recorded and the compass is functioning normally, Failsafe RTH

will be automatically activated if the remote controller signal is lost beyond 6 seconds. Return-to-Home

can be cancelled by the pilot, allowing them to regain control when the remote controller signal

connection is re-established.

Vision System

Consisted by camera ① and ultrasonic sensor ②, the Vision System locates at front bottom of your B4W. It is a positioning system that is composed by image sensor and ultrasonic sensor. Your B4W acquires its location through using the camera sensor to detect the ground texture and visible features.

Meanwhile, assisted by the ultrasonic sensor, your B4W could determine the altitude where it stays,

which could better insure the fly safety and gain precise positioning.

②

Vision Positioning System function

The Vision Positioning System is typically used in indoor environment when GPS is weak or unavailable. It works best when the aircraft altitude is less than 3 meters.
