HELP
Question
My Mosca cannot perform 360° flips.
Answer
• Most likely there is not enough battery power for the Mosca to do a flip; tr y
recharging to full or swapping another fully charged battery (we've included a
spare). If you’re still having problems, try restarting your Mosca.
• Check propellers for any signs of damage. Bent or broken propellers should be
replaced promptly with the spare propellers (remove the prop nut on top first)
included in your package.
Question
My Mosca is drifting in a certain direction.
Answer
• Adjust the trim to compensate for the drifting. Repeatedly push the appropriate trim
button opposite to the direction the Mosca is drifting towards until the drifting stops.
For example, if the Mosca is drifting forward, push the Forward/Backward Trim
button down, and vice-versa. If the Mosca is drifting to the left, push the Sideway
Trim button to the right, and vice-versa. If the Mosca is spinning counter-clockwise,
push the Yaw Tr im button to the right, and vice-versa.
• Calibrate the Mosca. First, place the Mosca on a level ground, and then hold both
Left and Right sticks to the lower right corner for about 3 seconds. The Mosca's
lights will blink rapidly for 3 seconds before turning solid to indicate the calibration
process is complete. You can also calibrate the Mosca using the app under App
Control Mode—tap the Auto Calibrate button.
Question
The in-app controls and buttons are not working. I don't see any image from the
camera unit.
Answer
• Check that your smartphone is connected to the Wi-Fi network belonging to the
Mosca's camera unit.
• Check the quality of the Wi-Fi signal on your smartphone. The Mosca may be out of
range. Move closer to the Mosca.
• Close the app, remove it (or force close) from the background tasks, and re-launch the app.
Question
My Mosca disconnects and automatically lands after taking off.
Answer
• Most likely the Mosca's low-voltage battery safety mechanism has been activated—
the Mosca's lights will blink slowly; try recharging to full or swapping another
fully charged battery (we've included a spare). If you’re still having problems, try
restarting the Mosca.
• If you receive an incoming call on your smartphone, the Mosca will automatically
14
land itself.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How do I clean and maintain my Mosca?
• Regularly inspect and clean any dirt trapped around the propellers using a soft
brush. Accumulation of dirt puts additional stress on the motor and may cause the
propeller to spin unevenly or even stop spinning completely.
• Wipe clean with a slightly damp cloth.
• Do not submerge in water. This will damage the electronic components.
How long can my Mosca fly for?
• You should be able to fly the Mosca for at least 10 minutes based on typical conditions
before another battery recharge is needed. We have included an extra battery in the
package, so you can enjoy double the playing time.
How do I copy the photos and videos taken with the Mosca's HD camera unit to my
computer?
• Make sure the Mosca is off. Eject the microSD card from the camera unit, then insert
it into the included USB card reader. Plug the USB card reader into the USB port on
your computer. Playing videos directly from the memory card may cause the videos
to be slow or jerky. It is best to copy or transfer files to your computer before trying
to watch them.
• Captured photos and videos are also saved to the internal memory of your
smartphone. Check your smartphone's album or gallery to view them.
Do I need to register my Mosca?
• Registration is not mandatory in the United States as the Mosca does not weigh
more than 0.55 lbs. For more general information on the registration of Unmanned
Aircraft Systems, please visit: www.faa.gov/uas/registration/faqs
• For other parts of the world, please check with your country’s civil aviation authority
regarding the operation of the Mosca in your local airspace. Here are some useful
