4 CHARGING THE MULTICOPTER AND MONITOR

Attention: The battery and motor must cool down for 10 to 15 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.

• Unplug the multicopter from the battery, switch off the remote control, plug the power pack into a socket and connect the power pack with the charger. The power LED on the charger illuminates green (4A).
• Remove the battery from the battery compartment (do not hold by the cable!) (4B).
• Carefully plug the white plug of the Li-Po battery into the Li-Po charger, DO NOT APPLY FORCE. If the plug is not correctly inserted into the charging socket, the helicopter may become damaged and, under certain circumstances, become an injury risk. The LED on the charger illuminates red.
• The charging process lasts approx. 150 minutes and must be continuously monitored. The red FED on the charger goes out as soon as the charging process is finished.
• Disconnect the battery from the charger and disconnect the charger from the mains after the charging is completed (4c)

After a charge time of approx. 150 minutes the multicopter can fly for approx. 5 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!

The monitor has a built-in rechargeable battery. It can be charged with the accompanying USB charger. Always monitor the charging procedure. A fire-resistant surface and fireproof environment must always be chosen for the charging process.

• Plug the USB charger into an open USB port (4D). The LED on the charger illuminates,
• Now insert the plug of the USB charger into the charging socket on the underside of the monitor (4E). The IFD on the USB charger goes out when the charging process starts.
  The LED on the charger illuminates again when the battery is fully charged. The charging process for a fully depleted battery takes about 120 minutes; with a partially depleted battery it a correspondingly shorter time. The monitor can be operated for about 45 minutes with a fully charged battery.

5 TOGGLING THE FLIGHT MODES

You can change the configuration of the controllers and accompanying trim. Standard is the setting "AODE 2".

To do so, switch off the helicopter and remote control.

MODE 1 / MODE 3: Slide the toggle switch (2E) downwards.

MODE 2 / MODE 4: Slide the toggle switch (2E) upwards

To switch between MODE 1 and MODE 3 or between MODE 2 and MODE 4, press and hold the MODE button (2V), while turning the remote control back on.

The selected MODE appears on the display.

MODE 1

MODE 2

MODE3

MODE 4

6 START PREPARATION

The control for thrust must point down before switching on (6A). Then set the ON/OFF switch (6B) on the remote control to the ON" position and the Power LED begins to blink. Connect the battery cable with the connecting cable (6C). Now the LEDs on the multicoptor begin to blink. Place the multicoptor on the ground so that the tail faces you and both propellers are towards the front. For the initialisation, the controller for thrust must be briefly moved all the way up and then back down again. The Power LEDs on the multicoptor now illuminate continuously.

Attention! Make sure that you place your multicopter on a level surface - the control electronics align their neutral position to the ground!

First switch the ON/OFF switch on the right-hand side to ON for video transmission (6D). Now connect the battery's balancer connector to the white plug on the Multicopter (6E). The video transmission will built up automatically in a few seconds.

7 TRIM ADJUSTMENT OF THE CONTROL

The correct trim is a basic requirement for fault-free flying behaviour of the multicopter. 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 multicopter approximately 0.5 to 1 metre in altitude.

7A If the multicopter moves by itself slowly or quickly to the left or right ... press the trim control for sideways incrementally in the opposite direction.

78 If the multicopter moves by itself slowly or quickly around its own axis ... press the trim adjustment for rotation incrementally in the opposite direction.

7C If the multicopter moves by itself slowly or quickly forwards or backwards ...

press the trim control for forwards/backwards incrementally in the opposite direction.

8 FLIGHT CONTROL

Note: Only minimal corrections of the controls are necessary for a smooth flying behaviour of the multicopter! The direction information appels if the multicopter is viewed from behind. If the multicopter is flying towards the pilot, it must be moved in the opposite direction.

8A Take off or increase altitude by carefully moving the control for thrust forward.
8B Land or decrease altitude by carefully pulling back the control for thrust
8C Hy forward by moving the RIGHT cControl for forwards/backwards carefully forward
8D Fly backwards by carefully pulling back the control for forward/backward flight and sideways flight.
8E Fly to the left by moving the control for forwards/backwards carefully to the left.
8F Fly to the right by moving the control for forward/backwards carefully to the right.
86 Turn helicopter around to the left by moving the control for rotation to the left.
8H Turn helicopter around to the right by moving the control for rotation to the right.

Higher flight speed

Each time you press the button on the left shoulder on the remote, the flight is increased one increment of 50% , 60% , 80% and 100% (81). Now the multicopter has a greater tilt, which enables higher flight speed. Please do not use this function until you have gained sufficient experience in the standard setting, because the multicopter is very sensitive, which makes a fine touch necessary when controlling it.

Fly loops - advanced users only! When you have sufficiently mastered your multicopter, you can try your hand at the stunt flying function. Make sure that you have sufficient room in each direction (at least 10 metres). Also observe the safety height - fly at a height of at least 5m, as your multicopter loses height when rolling over and has to be caught and corrected afterwards!

Note: Flip is more successful when the battery capacity is near full.

Now climb to safety height. Press the flip button. The remote control beeps several times. Now use the controller for forward/backward or sideways, and the multicopter will do a flip in the respective direction. Be prepared to catch the multicopter, as the flying height, direction and speed after rolling over depend heavily on the wind and preceding flight movements.

Photo and video function

Flight videos can be recording to a micro SD memory card during flight. Briefly press the lower button (8K) on the round button panel to the right of the monitor to take a photo. Video recording is started by pressing the top button (8J) on the round button panel. Pressing it again stops the recording.

In order to be able access the video, the memory card must be removed from the video transmitter and inserted into the USB card reader (8L). The driver installs automatically when it is inserted into any USB port on a computer. After the automatic installation, photos and videos can be opened and edited.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE FLYING

GENERAL FLYING TIPS:

• Always place the multicopter on a level surface. An inclined surface can, under certain circumstances, have a negative impact on the starting behaviour of the multicopter.
• Always operate the controls slowly and with a gentle touch.
  Always maintain visual contact with the multicopter and do not look at the remote control!
• Move the thrust control down again somewhat as soon as the multicopter lifts off from the ground. Maintain flying altitude by adjusting the thrust controller.
• If the multicoptor lowers, move control slightly upward again.
  If the multicopter climbs, move the thrust controller down slightly.

BATTERY STATUS:

• if the multicopter begins to lose thrust or the LED on the underside begins to blink, the battery is depleted. Land in order to avoid crashing.

ATTENTION!

Flying model aircraft and helicopters outdoors has required mandatory liability insurance since 2005. Contact your private liability insurer and make sure that your new and earlier models are included in your insurance coverage. Request written confirmation and keep this in a safe place. Alternatively, the DMFV offers a trial membership free of charge online at www.dmfv.aero, which includes insurance.

9 CHANGING THE PROPELLERS

If the rotor blades of the multicopter are damaged, they must be replaced. Proceed as follows:
9A Prior to installation, make sure that you do not mix up the propellers. The multicopter has 4 different propellers, which differ in colour and direction of rotation. If the propellers are mixed up, the multicopter will not fly. The two blue propellers are in front.
98 Unscrew the securing screw of the propeller anti-clockwise from the hub of the propeller and carefully remove the defective propeller from the shaft.
9C Carefully fit the new propeller on the shaft and carefully screw the securing screw on again in a clockwise motion.
9D Figure 9D shows a top view of the multicopter. The propellers are marked with a small 1 or 2 on the underside in the centre. Please assemble as follows:
