4. Product Description
The quadrocopter "Q Pro FPV" is a pre-assembled helicopter-like ight model with four rotors and an integrated camera. The control is possible in mode 1 and mode 2 equally. In the professional eld, such ight devices are already
used for the most diverse of tasks.
State-of-the-art microprocessor-controlled electronics with position control and acceleration sensors stabilise the ight
position and ying altitude of the quadrocopter "Q Pro FPV". Live transmission using the camera installed in the
quadrocopter permits "FPV-operation" (FPV = First Person View). Control only via a Smartphone is intended as well.
High-quality direct current engines in connection with a specially developed control permit a powerful ight operation.
The new control and electronic self-stabilisation lead to great ight properties.
The product is intended for operation in closed rooms but may also be used outdoors in wind still conditions. The
in-built electronic controls (integrated 6-axis gyro) can balance out small undesired changes to the ight altitude, but
cannot remove them completely. As the "Q Pro FPV" quadrocopter weighs approx. 19 g, it reacts sensitively to wind
or draughts.

Dear Customer,
this safety information serves not only to protect the product, but also your own safety and the safety of
other persons. Therefore, read this chapter very carefully before taking the product into operation!
a) General
Caution, important note!
Operating the model may cause damage to property and/or individuals.
Therefore, make sure that you are sufciently insured when using the model, e.g. by taking out
private liability insurance. If you already have private liability insurance, verify whether or not operation of the model is covered by your insurance before commissioning your model.
Observe: In some EU countries, you are required to have insurance for any ying models!
• The unauthorized conversion and/or modication of the product or its components is inadmissible for
safety and approval reasons.
• This product is not a toy and not suitable for children under 14 years of age.
• The product must not get damp or wet.
• Do not leave any packaging material unattended. It may become a dangerous playing material for chil-
dren.
• Should questions arise that are not answered by these operating instructions, contact us (for contact
information, see chapter 1) or another expert.
b) Before Commissioning
• Make sure that no other models are operated within the range of the remote control on the same
2.4 GHz band (transmitter frequency). Always check if concurrently operated 2.4 GHz transmission
systems interfere with your model.
• Regularly check the functional safety of your model and of the remote control system. Watch out for any
visible damage such as damaged mechanics (e.g. rotors).
• All moving parts on the model must run smoothly but must not have any tolerance in the bearing.
• Check before each operation the correct and secure position of the rotors.
• The ight battery required for operation must be charged according to these operating instructions.

• Ensure sufcient residual capacity (battery tester) of the batteries inserted in the transmitter. If the batteries are empty, always replace the complete set, never individual cells only.
• When the rotors are running, make sure that neither objects nor body parts are in the rotating and suction
area of the rotors.
c) During Operation
• Do not take any risks when operating the model! Your own safety and that of your environment depends
completely on your responsible use of the model.
• Improper operation can cause serious damage to people and property! Therefore make sure to keep a
sufciently safe distance from persons, animals or objects during operation.
• Select an appropriate location for the operation of your model.
• Fly your model only if your ability to respond is unrestricted. The inuence of tiredness, alcohol or medi-
cation can cause incorrect responses.
• Do not direct your model towards spectators or towards yourself.
• Motor, electronics and ight battery may heat up during operation of the model. For this reason, take a
break of 5 to 10 minutes before recharging the rmly integrated ight battery in the quadrocopter.
• Never switch off the remote control (transmitter) while the model is in use. After landing, always rst
switch the on/off switch at the quadrocopter to the "off" position ("OFF"). Only then may the remote
control transmitter be switched off.
• In case of a defect or a malfunction, remove the problem before using the model again.
• Never expose your model or the remote control to direct sunlight or excessive heat for an extended
period of time.
• In the case of a severe crash (e.g. from a high altitude). The electric gyro sensors can be damaged.
Therefore, full functionality must be tested before ying again without fail!
• Switch off the rotor motors at once after a crash. Rotating rotors may be damaged if they come into
contact with obstacles e.g. overcharging. Before ying again, these should be checked for possible tears
or breakages!
• To avoid damage to the model through crashing due to low voltage or deep discharge of the rechargeable battery through total discharge, we recommend that you respect the low voltage light signals without
fail.

7. Battery and Rechargeable Battery Notes
Although use of batteries and rechargeable batteries in everyday life is a matter of course today, there are
many dangers and problems. In particular in LiPo/LiIon batteries with high energy content (as compared
to conventional NiCd or NiMH batteries), various provisions must be complied with to avoid danger of
explosion and re.
The model is delivered with a rmly installed, non-replaceable rechargeable battery and a matching
charger. Nevertheless, we are including extensive information on handling batteries for safety reasons.
Should you use your own accessories, please ensure you follow all information enclosed by the respective
manufacturer.
a) Transmitter
• Keep batteries/rechargeable batteries out of the reach of children.
• Do not leave any batteries/rechargeable batteries lying around openly. There is a risk of batteries being
swallowed by children or pets. If swallowed, consult a doctor immediately!
• Batteries/rechargeable batteries must never be short-circuited, disassembled or thrown into re. There
is a danger of explosion!
• Leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries can cause chemical burns to skin on contact;
therefore, use suitable protective gloves.
• Do not recharge normal batteries. There is a risk of re and explosion!
• Make sure that the polarity is correct when inserting the batteries (pay attention to plus/+ and minus/-).
• If the device is not used for an extended period of time (e.g. storage), remove the inserted batteries from
the remote control to avoid damage from leaking batteries.
• Always replace the whole set of batteries. Do not mix full batteries with half-full ones. Always use batteries/rechargeable batteries of the same type and manufacturer.
• Never mix batteries and rechargeable batteries!
b) Flight Battery
Attention!
Leave the on-off switch of the quadrocopter in the "off" position ("OFF") when you are not using the ight
model (e.g. during transport or storage). Otherwise, the LiPo ight battery may be deep-discharged and
is thus destroyed and rendered useless! There is also a danger of malfunction due to interferences. The
rotors could start up inadvertently and cause damage or injury.
• Never charge the LiPo ight battery immediately after use. Always leave the LiPo ight battery to cool
off rst (at least 5 - 10 minutes).
• Charge the LiPo ight battery rmly installed in the quadrocopter only via the enclosed USB-LiPo-charg-
er.
• Only charge intact and undamaged batteries. If the outer isolation of the rechargeable battery is damaged or the battery is deformed or bloated, it must not be charged. In this case, there is immediate
danger of re and explosion!
9
• Place the model on a re-resistant surface for charging (e.g. a plate). Keep a distance to ammable
objects (use USB extension cable if required).
• As the charger and the rechargeable LiPo ight battery both heat up during the charging procedure, it is
necessary to ensure sufcient ventilation. Never cover the charger or the quadrocopter!
• Never leave LiPo batteries unattended while charging them.
• Remove the quadrocopter from the charger when it is fully charged.
• The charger is intended for dry indoor use only. The charger and the quadrocopter must not become
damp or wet.
• There is the risk of re or explosion by the rechargeable battery in case of error. LiPo batteries specically react very strongly at moisture and oxygen due to the chemicals contained in them! Do not expose
the charger or quadrocopter to high/low temperatures or to direct solar radiation.
8. Start Preparations
a) Inserting the Batteries in the Transmitter
Remove the battery compartment lid on the back of the transmitter. For this, you need to push the lid in the direction
of the arrow (1).
Insert two micro/AAA size batteries with the correct polarity (2). Observe the corresponding icons in the battery compartment. Insert the battery compartment lid again (3).
Operation of the transmitter with batteries is not recommended because of the lower cell voltage (battery = 1.5 V,
rechargeable battery = 1.2 V) and the self-discharge of rechargeable batteries. Quick feedback of the
transmitter on low charge status of the transmitter power supply would result.
Since the transmitter requires very little power, batteries will keep much longer. We recommend the use of
high-quality alkaline batteries.
