5 CHARGING THE MODEL

Attention: The battery and motor must cool down for 10 to 15 minutes before charging and after every flight. Otherwise they can be damaged. The charging process must be constantly monitored. Always ensure that the charging process takes place on a fireproof surface in a fire-resistant environment.

• Unplug the model from the battery and switch off the remote control.
• Remove the battery from the battery compartment (do not pull by the cable!).
• Insert the white battery plug into the charging socket of the charger, making sure that the polarity is correct. The battery must be gently inserted into the charging socket - DO NOT USE FORCE. If the battery is not correctly inserted into the charging socket, the battery may become damaged and, under certain circumstances, cause injury. The charger flashes.
  The charging process starts automatically and must be continuously monitored. The charger flashes slowly during the charging process. (quick flashing indicates a malfunction - the charging process must be stopped immediately.) As soon as the charging process is complete, the charger lights up continuously.
• Disconnect the battery from the charger and disconnect the charger from the USB port once charging is complete.

After a charge time of approx. 80 minutes the model can fly for approx. 10-12 minutes.

Warning notice: The battery does not normally heat up while charging. If it should become warm and/or changes to the surface begin to appear, immediately discontinue the charging process!

6 MODE 1 AND MODE 2 SWITCH

The remote control can be switched from Mode 1 (thrust and rotation on the right stick, forwards/backwards and banking on the left stick) to Mode 2 (thrust and rotation on the left stick, forwards/backwards and banking on the right stick).

• Set the ON/OFF switch on the transmitter (2c) to the .Off' position.

For MODE 2 (6A):

1. Press both controls to the top left corner, hold them there and switch on the transmitter.
2. Turn both controls all the way around three times, and then press one of the trims for approx. 2 seconds until the remote control beeps once.

For MODE 1 (6B):

1. Press the left control to the top left corner and the right control to the top right corner, hold them there and switch the remote control on.
2. Turn both controls all the way around three times, and then press one of the trims for approx. 2 seconds until the remote control beeps once.

7 START PREPARATION (MODE 2)

Always observe the sequence when switching on! When switching off, always switch off the model before the transmitter. Go outside as the GPS of your model requires satellite reception.

• Set the ON/OFF switch on the remote control (2C) to the "ON" position.
• Push the battery into the battery compartment (1F). Attach the battery cable to the model's battery cable. The LEDs on the model start to blink.
  After a moment the notification Set Compass 1^ appears on the display - the gyrosopes of the model have to be calibrated (7A).
• Turn the model clockwise on its vertical axis while keeping it as horizontal as possible (7B) ideally place the model on a smooth floor or a table top and turn the model without picking it up), until the display shows Set Compass 2 (7C).
• Now hold the model horizontally, with the camera pointing downwards, and turn it anti-clockwise (70) until the "Set Compass 2" notification disappears. Then the calibration is finished.
• Place the model on the ground so that its tail points toward you. Wait until the model has located six more more satellites, see corresponding display notification (3A). Now switch the motors on by pressing both controls on the transmitter downwards and outwards (7E). Let go of the controls as soon as the motors start - your model is now ready to start.

To stop the motors press the controls outwards and downwards again. Important! Land first!

Important! Always place your model on a horizontal surface - the control electronics aligns its neutral position to the subsurface.

SWITCHING OFF:

disconnect the battery cable from the connection socket on the model. Set the ON/OFF switch on the remote control to the OFF position.

8 CONNECTING THE MODEL TO THE REMOTE CONTROL

The connection of your model to the remote control is already established at the factory. Should it become necessary to re-establish connection, proceed as follows:

• Unplug the battery from the model and switch off the transmitter.
  Press and hold the photo/video button and switch the transmitter on.
• Place the transmitter down next to the model. Insert the battery cable in the connection socket.
  As soon as the model has beeped once the connection is complete.

9 CALIBRATING THE REMOTE CONTROL

If the model drifts or if trimming is difficult while flying, try calibrating the transmitter.

Mode 1: press and hold the left control to the top left and the right control to the top right and switch on the transmitter. Then move both controls in a circle three times and then press one of the trim buttons for two seconds. When the transmitter beeps, the calibration is complete.

Mode 2: Press and hold both controls to the top left and switch on the transmitter. Then move both controls in a circle three times and then press one of the trim buttons for two seconds. When the transmitter beeps, the calibration is complete.

10 TRIM ADJUSTMENT OF THE CONTROL

The correct trim is a basic requirement for fault-free flying behaviour of the model. Its adjustment is simple, but it requires some patience and a feel for it. Please observe the following instructions precisely: Carefully move the thrust control up and raise the model approximately 0.5 to 1 metre in altitude.

10A If the model automatically moves slowly or quickly to the left or right ... gradually press the trim for sideways flight (2E) in the opposite direction.

108 If the model moves by itself slowly or quickly around its own axis ... gradually press the trim for rotation (2B) in the opposite direction.
10C If the model automatically moves slowly or quickly forwards or backwards ... gradually press the forwards/backwards trim (2D) in the opposite direction.
100 Control adjustment: by pressing the controls for forwards/backwards and sideways (2A) the sensitivity of the controls can be set to two levels (Normal and Expert).
Warning! Only switch to a higher level when you have mastered the lower!

11 FLIGHT CONTROL (MODE 2)

Note: Only minimal corrections of the controls are necessary for a smooth flying behaviour of the model. The direction indication applies when the model is viewed from behind. If the model is flying towards the pilot, it must be moved in the opposite direction.

11A Take off or increase altitude by carefully moving the control for thrust and rotation forward.
118 Land or decrease altitude by moving the control for thrust and rotation backward.
11C Fly forward by moving the controller for forward/backward and sideways flight carefully forward.
11D Fly backward by moving the controller for forward/backward and sideways flight carefully backward.
11E Fly to the left by moving the controller for forward/backward and sideways flight carefully to the left.
11F Fly to the right by moving the controller for forward/backward and sideways flight carefully to the right.
116 Turn the model around to the left by moving the control for thrust and rotation to the left.
11H Turn model around to the right by moving the control for thrust and rotation to the right.

HEADLESS MODE

When Headless Mode is activated, the model reacts to control commands, as though the tail of the model always faced the pilot, regardless of the direction of the model. Therefore, it can also be controlled normally without thinking.

By pressing the controls for forwards/backwards and sideways (2F) Headless Mode can be switched off and on.

Attention: To function correctly, Headless Mode must be activated when the tail of the model is pointing directly towards the pilot.

GPS RETURN-TO-HOME FUNCTION

This function moves your model back to its start position (the place where you started the motors). Here your model will first rise or fall to an altitude of approx. 10m , return to its start position and land.

By pressing the button for the Return to Home function (2J) the GPS Return to Home function can be switched on and off. Any movement of the two controls (2A) and (2F) ends the Return to Home function and the model can be normally controlled again.

Important! Always keep your model in view and the transmitter in your hands - you must be able to avoid any obstacles immediately at any time. Having the model fly alone via GPS without continuous visual checks by the pilot is against the law!

12CAMERA FUNCTION

The model has a camera for photos and videos and a slot for MicroSD cards.

Disconnect the model from the battery before inserting or removing a MicroSD card.

If the MicroSD card is inserted correctly, the model is connected correctly and a connection with the transmitter is in place, a blue LED lights up next to the card slot (1G).

Photos: briefly press the photo/video button to take a photo. The transmitter beeps twice, the LED next to the MicroSD card slot briefly lights up red and the photo symbol on the display (3E) briefly flashes.

Videos: hold the photo/video button to record a video. The transmitter beeps once, the LCD next to the MicroSD card slot flashes red and the video symbol on the display (3D) briefly flashes. Hold the photo/video button again to end the recording.

Note: No photos can be taken while a video is being recorded. To download the data from the SD card please follow the instructions of your operating system.

13 CHANGING THE PROPELLERS

Prior to installation, make sure that you do not mix up the propellers. The model has 4 different propellers, which differ in color and direction of rotation. If the propellers are mixed up, the model will not fly.

13A Arrangement of the propellers:

front left grey B

front right grey A

rear left black A

rear right black B

138 Loosen the screw in the centre of the propeller and pull it off the shaft.

13C The shaft has a flat point on its side. The propeller has a matching catch on the inside (see marking, 11C). Position the new propeller on the shaft in such a way that the marking is covered by the flat point. Firmly straighten the screw.
