5 START PREPARATION
text_image
Diagram illustrating vehicle safety warning and warning symbols with arrows and labels5A To start the model, first switch on the remote control, then insert the battery into the battery compartment of the model until it clicks in place.
5B Then switch on the model by pressing and holding the ON/OFF button 1E and placing the model on flat, level and stable surface. After a brief initialisation phase, the status LEDs illuminate continuously and the model is ready for use.
5C 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. 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.
5D To shoot photos and videos, a micro SD card must be inserted in the micro SD card slot 1F. HC memory cards cannot be used.
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.
6A 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.
6B 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 quadrocopter 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 Fly 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 2H is pressed. Ensure beforehand that there is a micro SD card in the micro SD card slot 1F.
7) The camera begins recording a video when the button 21 is pressed. Pressing it again stops 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 quadrocopter 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 A longer vertical press (about 2 seconds) of control 2A activates the flip function. The next movement with control 2B allows the model to complete a 350° flip in the corresponding direction. In the process, ensure a safety altitude of about 2 metres and a sufficiently charged battery.
7M Briefly pressing vertically on control 2B activates the 2nd speed level. The remote control issues two short beeps as confirmation. Pressing the button again switches back to the first speed level.
BATTERY STATUS:
- The battery is empty if the model begins to lose thrust. Land in order to avoid crashing.
8 DOWNLOADING PHOTOS AND VIDEOS
- First switch on the model by pressing and holding the ON/OFF button 1E.
- Then insert the charging/data cable into the USB connection 1G.
- Now insert the other end of the charging/data cable into a USB port of a computer. After a short installation routine, the computer is ready to download the data from the model. Please follow the appropriate procedure for your computer system.
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 fittfully.
- 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 CHANGING THE PROPELLERS
If the rotor blades on the model are damaged, they must be replaced. To do so, proceed as follows:
9A Ensure the correct arrangement of the rotors during installation.
9B Use the accompanying removal tool to pull off the rotors.
9C Carefully press the new rotor on the motor shaft.
10 ADVANCED SETTINGS
Switching between Flight mode 1 and 2
The term flight mode refers to the assignment of the controls:
Mode 1
Control 2A: Forward/backwards and rotation Control 2B: Thrust and banking
Mode 2
Control 2A: Thrust and rotation Control 2B: Forwards/backwards and banking
10A Switching to Mode 1:
- Hold control 2A to the top left and control 2B to the top right
- Simultaneously switch the ON/OFF switch 2F to ON (the model remains off)
• To calibrate the controls rotate 2A and 2B completely at least twice - Then press and hold a trim button for at least two seconds
10B Switching to Mode 2:
· Hold control 2A and 2B to the top left
- Simultaneously switch the ON/OFF switch 2F to ON (the model remains off)
• To calibrate the controls rotate 2A and 2B completely at least twice
- Then press and hold a trim button for at least two seconds
10C Reversal of the control direction of the controls
The control direction of the controls can be adjusted in the setup menu. Only use this function if you have already gathered adequate experience operating the model (Mode 2, the model is switched on):
- Hold the control for thrust 2A all the way down
- Simultaneously press the control for forward/backwards 2B down vertically for at least one second.
- The display shows SE. Now the control directions of the axes are reversed with the trim buttons.
- To save the settings and exit the menu, press the control for forward/backwards 2B down vertically for at least 2 seconds
10D Sensitivity of the controls
The flying speed of the model can be adapted by changing the sensitivity of the controls. Only use this function if you have already gathered adequate experience with the model (Mode 2, the model switched on):
- Hold the control for thrust 2A all the way down and hold. Press the control for forward/backwards 2B down vertically for at least one second. When SE appears in the display, release all controls.
- Now push the control for thrust 2A down vertically. Each time it is pressed again, you switch between rotation, forwards/backwards and banking. Three blinking dots in the trim strip indicate what can currently be changed.
- By pressing the appropriate trim button, the sensitivity can be adjusted between a value of 20 (slow) and 60 (fast).
- To save the settings and exit the menu, press the control for forward/backwards 2B down vertically for at least 2 seconds.
10E Recalibration of the sensors
Sometimes it is necessary to recalibrate the gyro sensors of the model. Before starting the recalibration, the battery must be fully charged and the rotors must be inspected for damage. If the model continuously drifts in one direction and the trim does not provide sufficient compensation, proceed as follows:
Mode 2:
• The model and remote control are switched on and paired
- Switch to the second speed level by pressing control 2B
- Now hold control 2A to the bottom right and simultaneously move control 2B back and forth
- When the status LEDs blink, the process is finished
Mode 1:
• The model and remote control are switched on and paired
- Switch to the second speed level by pressing control 2B down vertically
- Now hold control 2A to the bottom right and simultaneously hold control 2B down and move quickly back and forth
- When the status LEDs blink, the process is finished
