CARE & MAINTENANCE

NOTICE

The XV-7 Microlite II battery comes partially charged and is ready to fly. Skip to Remote
Control Battery Installation section and use your Microlite now. Use this charge
completely before charging the XV-7 Microlite II battery for the first time.

WE RECOMMEND!

When charging with the included USB cable the LED light will off, indicating it is
charging. Once charging is complete, the LED light will turn on and be red. The
charging time for the battery is approximately 1.5 hours.

• Do not submerge the unit in any liquids.

• Keep the unit dry.

• Disconnect the unit and monitor from USB power sources when not in use.

• Do not place the unit near powerful, un-shielded magnets.

• Do not expose the unit to extreme hot or cold temperatures.

• Do not hit, drop, or smash the unit with extreme force.

• Do not disassemble the unit for any reason.

NOT FOLLOWING THESE PRECAUTIONS WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY.

Connect the battery’s power cable to the end of the USB charging cable. Then connect the USB end of the
charging cable to a USB port like on a computer. Please note: Not all USB ports provide power. Typically,
only ports mounted on a computer and not through a peripheral will provide enough power for charging.
After charging the battery, charge the monitor in the same manner using the USB cable for the monitor.

from side to side without
deviating from a straight line.

TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS

TRIM ADJUSTMENT ON THE RADIO CONTROL TRANSMITTER

Correct trim adjustment is required for error and erractic-free flying of the quad­copter. The adjustment is simple to do on the radio control transmitter, but it
requires some patience. Please follow the instructions precisely. For best results,
move the throttle up and raise the quadcopter approximately 2-3 feet (0.5-1 meter)
in altitude.

If the quadcopter moves by itself slowly or quickly to the left or right:
Press the trim control for SIDE MOVEMENT incrementally in the opposite
direction of movement

If the quadcopter moves by itself slowly or quickly around its own axis:
Press the trim control for ROTATION incrementally in the opposite direction
of movement

If the quadcopter moves by itself slowly or quickly forwards or backwards:
Press the trim control for FORWARDS AND BACKWARDS flight incrementally in the
opposite direction of movement

Check to make sure the power switch is in the ON position. If set to OFF, move to the ON position.

Check to make sure the batteries are installed correctly. Check to make sure they match the polarity markings.

If the batteries are installed correctly, they may be exhausted. Replace with new and fresh batteries.

If there isn’t any accurate control of the vehicle, make sure of the following:

• Make sure the radio control transmitter is set to the ON position

• Make sure the battery on the vehicle is installed correctly

• The vehicle may fly erratically if wind conditions are too strong. Fly the vehicle under calm conditions.

• Make sure the radio control transmitter has paired correctly with the vehicle. If not, power down the
vehicle and the radio control and start over.

The rotor speed may be too slow to lift the quadcopter sufficiently. Make sure the throttle is being raised
sufficiently. If the unit still does not go up or goes up too slowly, the battery of the quadcopter might be too
discharged for safe or satisfactory operation. Charge the battery before continuing to fly the unit.

If the unit fails to go up in altitude or goes up too slowly, try the following:

Landing the unit takes skill and practice. If the unit comes down too fast , it may damage the landing gear and/or the
quadcopter. Try to ease the unit down in altitude by slowly lowering the throttle stick till the unit is on the ground.

FLYING SAFE • BE AWARE OF YOUR ENVIRONMENT and SURROUNDINGS

TECHNICAL SPECFICATIONS & PARAMETERS

CAUTIONS & WARNINGS

If flying outdoors, always fly on a sunny, bright day with as
little wind as possible. Flying in extreme heat or cold can
adversely affect your flying control and response of the
vehicle.

After connecting the battery, lay the XV-7 Microlite II on the
ground. Please wait for approximately 5-7 seconds to allow
the digital gyro to electronically stabilize. Push the throttle
up and then back down to pair the radio control
transmitter to the XV-7 Microlite II. The lights will stop
blinking and now you are all set to fly.

Charging Time: Approximately 90 minutes
Flying Time: Approximately above 6-9 minutes
Radio Control monitor viewing distance limit: approx. 75-100 meters

• This product contains small parts which are a choking hazard. Keep away from small children.

• Keep Quadcopter at least 10 feet away during use.

• Accurately assemble the quadcopter and fly it under the guidelines of this manual. Small parts should be installed by an
adult.

• Manufacturers and dealers disclaim all responsibility for damage caused by misuse.

• Keep hands, hair and loose clothing away from rotors when powered on to to prevent damage to the vehicle or serious injury
to oneself or others around.

• The quadcopter should never be flown in high winds in excess of 5 MPH or near a pool.

• Never leave the device unattended when being charged.

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not
cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.

PREPARING YOUR UNIT BEFORE FLYING

The throttle stick (left stick on the radio control) must be pointing down before the unit and the control are switched on.
Move the ON/OFF switch to the ON position and the Power LED on the radio control will begin to blink.

Connect the battery cable to the power connector on the vehicle. The LEDs on the vehicle will now begin to blink. Place the
quadcopter on the ground with the tail pointed towards you (the two red propellers are the rear of the vehicle). The
quadcopter needs approximately 5 to 7 seconds to initialize and electronically stabilize the gyro. It will also pair with the
radio control transmitter at this time. When the LEDs on the vehicle stay green without blinking, the pairing of the radio
control and the quadcopter has been established.

Be sure to place the quadcopter on a level surface to ensure a proper and neutral alignment of the gyro.
