Precautions before flying

1. Please make sure that the battery power of the drones and the transmitter are in a state of saturation.

2. Before turning on the transmitter, please make sure that the left stick is in the

middle position.

3. You must obey the right order of turning ON the power. Firstly, you should turn on the transmitter, next to make the connection for the power supply of the drone; While before turning off the power, you must disconnect the drone first, then to turn off the transmitter. For improper order may cause the drone out of control, thus may do damage to the safety of yourself and others. So please cultivate a good habit of connecting and disconnecting the power supply.

4. Please confirm that the connection between lithium batteries and motors and other components is reliable. If there’s continuous vibration while flying, thus may cause the loosen of the attaching plug. Finally, the drone will be out of control.

5. Please confirm the directions of propeller rotation. Propeller A of the front and rear propellers runs clockwise rotation. And propeller B of the right front and left rear runs counterclockwise rotation.

6. Improper operation may cause air crash, and it may make the motor or propellers work badly or make noise. Thus situations all lead to the flying state or it can’t fly. If so, we suggest you to purchase new components from the local seller to replace it in time. And thus the drone can return to the best state.

7. Please check to see whether the plug line connection is firm, be sure that the gear can not be wound to sundries, and to ensure smooth skating, or it may do damage to the driving motor.

8. If there’s loosening of a belt, running on the ground is one side or no driving; And while flying, it make addle the propeller of a belt and cause a runaway crash.

www.xerall.com

Heading Hold Mode

Drones generally have a front and rear indicated by LED lights or colored propellers. By default, the users are required to tell the front and the rear of the drone when flying. Under heading hold mode, the users can operate the drone without worrying about the orientation (left is left and right is right all the time, regardless of where your drone is pointing at).Heading Hold Mode is designed for beginners and the users who fly the drone in daylight or at a far distance or difficult to identify the drone orientation.
