2. Place the battery cartridge in the sleeve on the backside of the head strap.
3. Feed the power lead through the loop on the top side of the head strap and plug in the power lead to the port on the goggles. This will power the goggles.
4. Please remove antennas and power lead when traveling/storing the goggles.

Operation

Power

Power on the goggles by plugging in the power lead from the battery cartridge. Power off by unplugging the power lead from the battery cartridge.

Video Channel Selection

There are 2 buttons (CH and FR) that can manually select the correct channel and frequency band. The table below shows the channel and frequency band map with the respective frequency number. This is the recommended way to change channels to the correct frequency on tinyhawk. The CH button will cycle through the channel number (1-8) while the FR button will cycle through the frequency band (A,B,E,F,R,H). The frequency band and channel number will be shown in the upper right corner of the screen when cycling through channels.

Tip: Make sure tinyhawk is powered on. When cycling through channels it will be easier to spot the correct one with the video feed from tinyhawk.

FR\CH	CH1	CH2	CH3	CH4	CH5	CH6	CH7	CH8

R	5658	5695	5732	5769	5806	5843	5880	5917	MHz

Caution: Make sure the goggles are on the correct channel that tinyhawk is on. The current selected band and channel of tinyhawk is shown in the lower right corner of the screen.

Video Channel Auto Scanning

There is a scanning function on the goggles to aid in finding which channel tinyhawk is on. First power on tinyhawk then press the "A" button to start the auto scan mode. This mode will cycle through all channels and select the channel with the best video reception. The frequency band and channel number will be shown in the upper right corner of the screen when cycling through channels.

Caution: If using this feature with multiple tinyhawks (or other drones with a vtx) powered on, autoscan may select the wrong drones channel. We recommend manually selecting the correct channel to prevent mismatch errors.

Screen Adjustments

The menu button ("M") will bring up a menu where you can adjust brightness, contrast, saturation, and language. To cycle through menu options, press the menu button again. With the current selection highlighted, adjustments can be made pressing the "FR" button to increment and "CH" to decrement. The menu will close automatically after 3 seconds if no input was detected.

Flight

Always use caution when flying and operate in an open and controllable area. Please learn the flight controls first before powering on the aircraft to fly.

Radio Stick Controls

The left stick controls throttle and yaw direction of tinyhawk. The right stick controls pitch and roll of the aircraft.

Fly Tinyhawk

Start by powering on your Radio and Goggles. Tinyhawk comes already bound to your radio and on the right video channel matched with your goggles. Power on tinyhawk by sliding the battery into the battery tray and plugging it in. Once the battery is plugged in, set tinyhawk on a stable surface so it can calibrate. Calibration takes a few seconds then tinyhawk is ready to fly. Tinyhawk can fly for 4 minutes on a fully charged battery. Land tinyhawk when the battery reaches 3.2v; flying any longer can severely damage your battery and is not recommended.

Arming

Arming refers to setting tinyhawk to a fly ready state. When tinyhawk is powered on first it will not spin up the propellers until it is armed. Arm the aircraft by first moving throttle to the bottom position. Then move the left switch of the radio to its 3^rd position upwards. You will see the propellers spinning when tinyhawk is successfully armed.

1. Throttle down
   

2. Switch to Arm Position
   

Arm Lock

In the event of a crash always disarm immediately. Failure to disarm in a timely manner can damage tinyhawk.

Always disarm tinyhawk before handling it. Disarm tinyhawk by setting the arm switch to its 1^st position (bottom).

Flying Modes

The right switch on the radio controls the different flight modes of tinyhawk. There are 3 modes: easy, intermediate, and advance. The switch in its first position downward is easy mode, second position is intermediate, and third position is advanced.

Advance Easy

Easy Mode: This is easy flight control where the maximum angle of tinyhawk is limited in flight to help limit speed and make flying easier. In this mode control of the aircraft is attitude based. Input from the right gimbal with pitch and roll controls the pitch and roll angle of the aircraft. For example 20 degrees of tilt on roll of the gimbal will translate to 20 degrees of roll tilt on tinyhawk.

Intermediate Mode: This mode has a higher angle limit for higher speed flying with the same attitude control. The only difference is at the end of the gimbal for pitch and roll, it will cause the aircraft to flip in that direction.

Advance Mode: This mode gives you full control of the aircraft. There is no more angle limit and control is rate based. This means control input from the gimbal sets a rotation rate on said axis.

Line of Sight Flying

To learn how to fly tinyhawk start by flying it line of sight (no goggles yet). Power on tinyhawk and set it down in a cleared room. Arm tinyhawk then throttle up using the left stick to a hover position. Work on maintaining a constant altitude. Pitch and roll tinyhawk with the right thumb stick and yaw tinyhawk with the left thumb stick.

First Person View (FPV) Flying

Make sure tinyhawk and the goggles are on the same vtx channel and that you have a clear area to fly around in. Apply the same principals learned when flying tinyhawk line of sight except now work on flying in a forward direction while maintaining a controlled constant altitude. It is easier to learn flying FPV by always moving in a forward direction so always apply a slight amount of pitch using your right thumb stick. You can steer tinyhawk like a car using yaw on the left thumb stick.

There is an on screen display (OSD) overlaying the video feed from the camera of tinyhawk. The OSD displays important information such as flight time and battery voltage. Pay attention to these numbers during flight to know how much battery life is left. Tinyhawk can fly for a maximum of 4 minutes. When the battery reaches 3.2v, land tinyhawk. Drawing the battery below 3.2v is not suggested and can damage the battery.

Tips: Work on maintaining a controlled altitude flight to begin while driving tinyhawk with pitch and yaw. Do not let the battery go lower than 3.2v. The arm switch activates a beeper when set in the 2^nd position (middle); this is useful when looking for tinyhawk.

Tinyhawk

Propeller Direction and Mounting

There are 2 spinning directions for tinyhawk propellers, Clockwise (CW) and Counter-Clockwise (CCW). When Buying a set of propellers, 2 CW and 2 CCW will be given. The blunt leading edge indicates the direction the propeller is supposed to rotate as compared to the sharp trailing edge. When mounting propellers please make sure the correct orientation shown in the diagram below.

1. Line up the 3 struts of the propeller with the 3 struts on the motor bell.
2. Press on the propeller while supporting the backside of the motor with our fingers.
3. Press on until the motor shaft is flush with the propeller.

Caution: Failure to support the motor sufficiently can cause the frame to break. Use caution when pressing the propellers on.

Propeller Dismount

Use caution when dismounting the propellers. Only do so if completely necessary to change to a new propeller.

1. Use a small tool (such as a 1.5mm hex wrench or the small screwdriver provided) to press on the metal on the bottom of the motor and tinyhawk.
2. Press on the blades of the propeller with your fingers until the propellers pop off the motor.

Caution: Failure to support the motor sufficiently can cause the frame to break. Use caution when pressing the propellers off.

Binding Procedure

Binding is the process of uniquely associating a particular receiver to a transmitter module. A transmitter

module can be bound to multiple receivers (not to be used simultaneously). A receiver can only be bound to one transmitter module.

1. Hold the bind button while powering on the receiver. When the GREEN LED is on, it means the receiver is in BIND MODE

2. Turn on the transmitter, make sure it is set to D8 mode, and then set it into bind status. When the RED LED of the receiver starts flashing, it means bind successful.

3. Turn on the transmitter again, the GREEN LED receiver will be on, it means the receiver is receiving data from transmitter. Transmitter bind with receiver no need repetitive operation, unless you change either receiver or transmitter.

Emax Tinyhawk Flight Controller (FC)

This flight controller has a F4 MCU with a MPU6000 gyro. Tinyhawk flight controller comes pre-programmed and properly tuned for optimal flight. The flight controller is programmed with Betaflight 3.5.0. For a full tune and configuration setting file (CLI dump file) please visit https://emax-usa.com/ for the CLI dump file.

Stock Flight Controller Settings

Tinyhawk is configured to take a channel map of the AETR1234 convention. That is the channel map is in the respective order: throttle, aileron, elevator, rudder, AUX 1, and AUX 2. The arm switch on tinyhawk is set on AUX 2 and armed with the highest value. The middle stage of AUX 2 activates the beeper. AUX 1 is configured for a 3 stage switch to select flight modes: Angle, Horizon, and Acro activating in an increasing order. The stock radio controller is already configured to these settings. If

configuring a new radio please configure your radio as described above or change these settings in Betaflight Configurator.

PID profiles: PID profile 1 is tuned and optimized for Tinyhawk for ultimate control of flight indoors and outdoors. Please do not change these values.

Rate Profiles: Profile 1 is designed for optimal indoor flight control. Profile 2 is similar to profile 1 with a bit more sensitivity to allow rolls and flips flying in doors. Profile 3 is a more sensitive rate profile tuned for people who like to fly "pincher" style. These profiles can easily be switched in Betaflight OSD menu.

Adjusting Software Settings (Betaflight Configurator)

Betaflight Configurator can be used to changed programmed settings on Tinyhawk and to flash new firmware if desired. Betaflight Configurator and flight controller firmware can be downloaded at https://github.com/betaflight/. The hardware target for Tinyhawk Flight Controller is MatekF411.

DISCLAIMER: We do not suggest changing any PID settings on Tinyhawk or upgrading the firmware to new versions. Tinyhawk comes stock with an optimal tune for superior flight performance. Changing this can affect flight time, overall speed, control of the aircraft, and excessive heat within the motors.
