When syncing your ATOM™ FPV quadrocopter with the controller always make sure that the quadrocopter is on a flat level surface and that your digital trim settings are in the center position. This ensures that the 6 Axis gyro is properly programmed to mimic your trim settings. Your ATOM™ FPV utilizes an automatic 2.4G channel selection system that allows up to 8 people to fly side by side in the same wireless range with no interference.For One-Person Play:1. Before starting, make sure that the power on both your controller and ATOM™ FPV are in the OFF position. Make sure that there are no other 2.4G devices in the area as well. 2. Turn ON the ATOM™ FPV and set it down on a flat surface. The LED indicator lights of the ATOM™ FPV should begin to flash rapidly.3. Turn ON the remote, you will hear two beeps. The ATOM™ FPV’s LED lights should now flash slowly. Push the throttle on the left all the way forward(1 beep) and then pull the throttle all the way back. A 2nd beep will sound and the lights should turn to solid. This indicates your controller and the quadrocopter are successfully synced. If not, repeat above steps. For Multi Person Play: 4. Before starting, make sure that the power on all ATOM™ FPV drones and Controllers are in the OFF position. Make sure that there are no other 2.4G devices in the area.5. Each person will have to sync their ATOM™ FPV individually at a different time to avoid interference. Follow steps 1 to 3 above making sure that no one else is syncing at the same time. 6. After syncing a player’s ATOM™ FPV, it should be left ON until all players have synced their ATOM™ FPV quadrocopters. 7. Should there be a mistake or interference, all players must turn off their controllers and ATOM™ FPV quadrocopters for up to 60 seconds and then begin the process again. PREPARING FOR FLIGHT • Verify that there are 2 “AA” batteries inside the remote control unit and the ATOM™ FPV has been fully charged.• Make sure your ATOM™ FPV and controller are both turned on. • Make sure to be in a large space with an open radius of at least 50 feet. • Make sure the empty space has no obstacles and water close by. Set your ATOM™ FPV on a clean flat surface before take-off.DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FLY YOUR ATOM™ FPV IF THERE IS RAIN, SNOW, HEAVY WINDS, THUNDER OR LIGHTNING OUTDOORS. IT COULD DAMAGE YOUR PRODUCT AND POSSIBLY EVEN CAUSE BODILY HARM.FLYING TIPS• It is recommended that you operate the ATOM™ FPV in a wide open space. The ideal space should have a 200 foot radius. • Parental guidance or adult supervision is suggested at all times.• If you are flying the ATOM™ FPV with others, make sure all spectators are behind you.• For best performance, it is recommended that you operate the ATOM™ FPV in zero wind conditions, as wind can greatly affect the performance of the aircraft.DO NOT FLY YOUR ATOM™ FPV IN FOUL WEATHER!WARNINGOFF ON
FGHI5 6FLIGHT CONTROLSBelow is a list of basic flight functions for your long-range remote control ATOM™ FPV. While learning to fly your ATOM™ FPV it is best to start in a large space until you get used to the basic controls. As you master flying your ATOM™ FPV you can move to more advanced maneuvering techniques. Practice makes perfect! When you have these basic steps down you can move to the next level.Move the left Throttle stick upwards to increase the speed of the propellers and the ATOM™ FPV will accelerate upwards and ascend. Move the left Throttle stick down to decrease the speed and the ATOM™ FPV will decelerate and descend (see diagram F).While in the air, move the left Throttle stick left and the ATOM™ FPV will rotate left.Move the left Throttle stick right and the ATOM™ FPV will rotate right (see diagram G).While in the air, move the right Direction Stick up and the ATOM™ FPV will move forward.Move the right Direction Stick down and the ATOM™ FPV will move backward (see diagram H).While in the air, move the right Direction Stick left and the ATOM™ FPV will bank to the left.Move the right Direction Stick right and the ATOM™ FPV will bank to the right (see diagram I).RECOGNIZING THE FRONT & BACK OF THE ATOM™ FPVEven though the ATOM™ FPV has four rotors, there is still a “front” or forward facing direction and "back" or backwards facing direction. The front and forward facing direction of the ATOM™ FPV is the side with two gray propellers (see diagram E ). The rear and backwards facing of the Quadrocopter is the side with two red propellers (see diagram E). NOTE: The front of the Quadrocopter displays WHTIE LED lights and the back of the Quadrocopter displays RED LED lights.E FRONTRed LED lightsREARWhite LED lightsJUNDERSTANDING TRIM ADJUSTMENTSForward/Backward Trim• If your ATOM™ FPV is drifting forwards or backwards, you may need to adjust the FORWARD/BACKWARD TRIM (see diagram J). • If your ATOM™ FPV drifts forward, push and release the BACKWARD TRIM button back repeatedly until the motion stops and proper flight is maintained. • If your ATOM™ FPV drifts backwards, push and release the FORWARD TRIM button forward in the same manner until the problem is resolved.• From time to time you may have to adjust the FORWARD or BACKWARD TRIM buttons to ensure the ATOM™ FPV will hover in mid-air and respond accurately to your commands.HOW TO START/STOP ROTORSMake sure you have properly synced the ATOMTM FPV and the power is on. • To start and stop the rotors simply move the two control sticks simultaneously down and to the outside corners and release (see illustration below). • The rotors should begin to spin and now you are ready for take-off.
