4 CHARGING THE MODEL

Attention: The battery and motor must cool down for 15 to 30 minutes before charging and alter 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.

4A·Remove the battery from the model to charge it

• Insert the male bullet of the mains adapter in the balancer charger
• Insert the mains plug of the adapter into an outlet
  The Status LEDs on the upper side of the balancer charger illuminate green

48 Now insert the white balancer plug of the battery into the connection on the front of the balancer charger.

The Status LEDs illuminate red during the charging process.
- If the Status LEDs illuminate green again, the charging process is finished and the battery must be disconnected from the charger.

The model can fly for up to 20 minutes after a charge time of approx. 180 minutes.

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

5 START PREPARATION

Attention: In order to start the rotors, the following procedure must be followed step by step EACH TIME THE MODEL IS SWITCHED ON.

5A To start the model, first switch on the remote control, then insert the battery into the battery compartment of the model.
5B Then switch on the model by connecting the battery plug to the battery connection and closing battery compartment 1D.
5C The model reports "Check Gyro Sens" in the display of the remote control. The model must remain stationary on a level and solid surface until the message disappears and the message "Compass Calibration 1" appears.
5D Calibrate the compass. This must be repeated each time the model is switched on in order to adjust the model to the respective environment. Attention: Keep magnetic objects such as mobile phones or car keys away from the model Compass Calibration 1: Rotate the model in normal position ANTI-clockwise until the message Compass Calibration 2^ appears in the display of the remote control Compass Calibration 2: Now rotate the model ANTI-clockwise with the camera pointing upward until the message disappears.
5E The initial flights should only be flown with GPS support. For this purpose, move the switch for GPS Hold 2 upwards and wait about 30 seconds until at least six satellites have been found (see Fig. 6). If the switch for GPS Hold 2 is deactivated (switch position down), the rotors can also be started without a GPS signal. This option is only recommended for experienced pilots

Attention: The rotors only start if the switch for Coming Home 2K is deactivated (switch position down).

5F to start the rotors, move the control for thrust and rotation 2A to the bottom left and move the control for forward/backwards and banking 2B to the bottom right at the same time 5F. Attention: With both controllers in the bottom inside or outside position, the rotors switch off instantly, even while in the air. In order to switch off the rotors after landing, move the control for thrust and rotation 2A all the way down and hold. Then move the controls 2A and 2B downward, inward or outward in order to switch off the rotors. Attention! Never reach into the rotating rotor blades; increased risk of injury! 5G to shoot photos and videos, a micro SD card must be inserted in the micro SD card slot 1H. Please only use Class 10 HC memory cards. The memory card is not included.

Once you have finished flying, switch the model off first and then the remote control. Unplug the battery from the model and remove the battery from the model.

6 TRIM ADJUSTMENT OF THE CONTROL

The model must be switched on first in order to connect it to the remote control. 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 helicopter approximately 0.5 to 1 metre in altitude.

6Alf the model automatically moves slowly or quickly to the left or right .. gradually press the trim for sideways flight 2E in the opposite direction.

68 If the model moves by itself slowly or quickly around its own axis ... press the trim adjustment for rotation 2C incrementally in the opposite direction.

6C If the model automatically moves slowly or quickly forwards or backwards ...

gradually press the forwards/backwards trim 2D in the opposite direction.

7 FLIGHT CONTROL

The model is equipped with an automatic altitude control assistant that makes it possible to learn how to control the model quickly and easily. The assistant is a sensor that can measure the air pressure to within 10 centimetres of the exact altitude and thereby automatically keep the quadrotocopter at the specified altitude. Therefore, beginners can concentrate on forward/backwards and banking.

Attention: Due to outside influences, the pressure inside the model may change, causing the model to automatically rise or lower. This is not a defect. Briefly actuating the control for thrust and rotation 2A is sufficient to counteract this.

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

Switch on the model as shown in point 5 and start the rotators by moving the controls 2A and 2B to the bottom outside.

7A take off or increase altitude by carefully moving the control for thrust and rotation 2A forward.
7B Land or decrease altitude by moving the control for thrust and rotation 2A backward.
7C Fly forward by moving the controller for forward/backward and sideways flight 2B carefully forward.
7D Fly backward by moving the controller for forward/backward and sideways flight 2B carefully backward.
7E H to the left by moving the controller for forward/backward and sideways flight 2B carefully to the left.
7F Fly to the right by moving the controller for forward/backward and sideways flight 2B carefully to the right.
7G Turn the model around to the left by moving the control for thrust and rotation 2A to the left.
7H Turn model around to the right by moving the control for thrust and rotation 2A to the right.
71 The camera takes a photo when the button 2G is pressed. Ensure beforehand that there is a micro SD card in the micro SD card slot 1H.
7] The camera begins recording a video when the button 21 is pressed. Pressing it again stops the recording. The remaining recording time for the memory card is shown in the top centre of the display. It is also recognisable from the timer counting down for the recording.
7K Briefly pressing vertically (about 0.3 seconds) on control 2A activates headless mode. Headless mode supports beginners in the initial stages. Regardless of where the quadrotor turns, the direction of flight always corresponds exactly to the direction specified with the control for forwards/backwards and sideways movement 2B. An example: if the model were to be turned 180^ and flown towards the operator, the operator would have to "convert" the forwards/backwards and sideways movement accordingly. This is no longer necessary if headless mode is activated, as the internal processor always converts the control directions automatically. Pressing the 2A button again deactivates the mode.

Attention: The model, notes" the forwards direction during each switch-on. This means that the operator must not turn when controlling the model, as this would change the concept of "forwards" and "right/left" in relation to the model. If the operator changes position and wants to use headless mode - or if the control direction is no longer correct due to a collision, the model must be restarted.

7L Switch for GPS Hold 2): The GPS flight support can be activated and deactivated with the switch for GPS Hold. GPS is activated when the switch is moved upward. GPS Hold ensures that the model is only moved when it is controlled. External influences such as wind are compensated for. Flying without GPS Hold is only recommended for experienced pilots.

7MSwitch for Coming Home 2K. With activation of the switch for Coming Home (switch in upward position), the model automatically returns to the starting point (or the position at which six satellites were first found) and lands. The model climbs or drops to a height of approximately 20 metres and returns to the starting point. In the process, look out for any obstacles in the flight path and intervene as necessary with controls 2A and 2B. After the automatic landing, the rotors continue to turn slowly. Switch them off as described in section 5.

7N Follow Me: Vertically pressing control 2B activates Follow Me mode (message in the display). This means that the model maintains the same distance and elevation in relation to the remote control and follows its movements. Never lose eye contact with the model and do not use the display to fly. Any movement with the controls switches back to normal mode (brief message in the display).

BATTERY STATUS:

The battery is empty if the model begins to lose thrust. Land in order to avoid crashing. The charge status of the model battery is shown at the top left of the display on the remote control.

8 MOUNTING THE ROTORS

8A An assembly aid is included with the model for mounting and replacement of the rotors.
8B It is attached to the top of the motor so that it does not turn when screwing on the rotor.

Attention:

The rotors are fitted with a right-handed or left-handed thread in the hub. A-rotors can only be screwed on anticlockwise and B-rotors can only be screwed on clockwise. Only tighten the rotors slightly in order to be able to loosen them again and to avoid dama ging the motors.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE FLYING

GENERAL FLYING TIPS:

Always place the model on a level surface. An inclined surface can, under certain circumstances, have a negative impact on the starting behavior of the model.
Always operate the controls slowly and with a gentle touch.
Always maintain visual contact with the model and do not look at the remote control!
- Move the thrust control down again somewhat as soon as the model lifts off from the ground. Maintain flying altitude by adjusting the thrust controller.
If the model lowers, move the thrust control slightly upward again.
- If the model climbs, move the thrust control down slightly.
To fly along a curve, tapping the directional controller very slightly in the respective direction often suffices. There is a general tendency during preliminary attempts at flight to operate the model's controls too aggressively Always operate the controls slowly and carefully Never fast and fitfully.
- Beginners should first master trimming before attempting to master the thrust controller. The model does not necessarily have to fly straight at the beginning - initially, it is more important to maintain a constant height of approximately one meter above the ground by repeatedly tapping the thrust control. Only then should the pilot practice steering the model left and right.

9 DISPLAY AND STATUS LEDs

There is a series of information on the display of the remote control:

9A Number of satellites received by the model
98 Number of satellites received by the remote control
9C Current status
