Charging SocketOn/Off Switch3 4SYNCING YOUR ATOM™ XImportant! When syncing your ATOM™ X 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™ X 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™ X 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™ X and set it down on a flat level surface. The LED indicator lights of the ATOM™ X should begin to flash rapidly.3. Turn ON the remote, you will hear two beeps. Push the throttle 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™ X 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™ X 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™ X, it should be left ON until all players have synced their ATOM™ X quadrocopters. 7. Should there be a mistake or interference, all players must turn off their controllers and ATOM™ X quadrocopters for 60 seconds and then begin the process again. PREPARING FOR FLIGHT • Verify that there are 2 “AAA” batteries inside the remote control unit and the ATOM™ X has been fully charged.• Make sure your ATOM™ X 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™ X on a clean flat level surface before take-off.DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FLY YOUR ATOM™ X 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™ X 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™ X with others, make sure all spectators are behind you.• For best performance, it is recommended that you operate the ATOM™ X in zero wind conditions, as wind can greatly affect the performance of the aircraft.DO NOT FLY YOUR ATOM™ X IN FOUL WEATHER!WARNINGFront Rotor BladesRear Rotor Blades Camera Indicating LED LightATOM™ X DIAGRAMDigital CameraREMOTE CONTROL DIAGRAM Speed Setting Button Speed IndicatorThrottle/Yaw360˚ Stunt Rolls ButtonDirection ControlPower On/Off4CH3CH4 CH ModeRemovable Grip3 CH ModeLeft Bank Trim Right Bank TrimForward TrimPower IndicatorBackward Trim12TH34C3CALIBRATEVIDEOCAMERA STUNTSTART/LANDSPEED

5 6RECOGNIZING THE FRONT AND REAR OF THE ATOM™ XEven though the ATOM™ X has four rotors, there is still a “front” or forward facing direction and "rear" or backwards facing direction. The front or forward facing direction of the ATOM™ X is the side with two gray propellers (see diagram E ). The rear or 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.AUTOMATICALLY TAKE OFF / LANDMake sure you have properly synced The ATOM™ X.• Simply press the “start/land” button on the top of controller, your ATOM™ X will automatically take off. • To stop or land the ATOM™ X just press the “START/LAND” button again and the ATOM™ X will descend and land automatically. Tips: You also can move the two control sticks simultaneously down to the inside corners, hold them until you hear a “beep” and the blades start spinning. Release the control sticks and push up the throttle stick slowly to take off manually.In case of emergency: to stop the rotors instantly, simply press the calibrate button on the top of the cotroller, located in the center. SPEED SETTING BUTTONThe ATOM™ X has 3 speed settings; 1 (SLOW) , 2 (MEDIUM) and 3(HIGH). The Default setting when you first turn on your ATOM™ X is mode 1 (SLOW) . To increase the speed simply press the speed setting button (see remote diagram on page 3), you will hear beeping sound and the speed indicator will display the current speed setting with letter and Numbers. Number 1 indicates slow speed, 2 indicates medium speed and 3 indicate high speed. 3/4 CHANNEL SELECTATOM™ X allows you to control your Quadrocopter in 3 channel mode (beginner) or 4 channel mode (advanced flying). The ATOM™ X default setting is 4 Channel mode. To change to 3 Channel mode: PRESS the 3CH button (see remote diagram on pg 3), you will hear 3 short beeps and the “3 CH” will light up on the controller indicating the ATOM™ X now is set to 3CH mode. To change back to 4 Channel mode: PRESS the 4CH button (see remote diagram on pg 3), you will hear 4 short beeps and the “4 CH” will light up on the controller indicating the ATOM™ X is now set to 4CH mode. UNDERSTANDING THE ALTITUDE LOCK SENSORThe ATOM™ X has a unique Altitude Lock, air pressure sensor that allows for easier flight control and stability. A beginners friend, it allows the user to ease into piloting the copter. The sensor locks in the altitude of the copter while allowing the user to adjust the directional controls without having to hold the throttle.After starting the copter, fly upwards to a safe height using the left joystick. Once at a safe height, letting go of the left joystick should lock in the altitude and allow the user to focus on getting used to the directional controls of the ATOM™ X. If when flying, the copter does drift downward or upward, it will automatically self correct and go back to the last locked height.NOTE: The altitude sensor does have some tolerance based on atmospheric conditions and could have a slight variation in altitude. 4CH3CHNOTE: The use of the Trim buttons are accompanied with a Beep sound. A single long Beep indicates the product is center trimmed. If there is no beep sound after press the trim buttom, it indicates the maximum rang of the trim on a particular side.UNDERSTANDING TRIM ADJUSTMENTSForward/Backward Trim�• If your ATOM™ X is moving forwards or backwards automatically, you may need to adjust the FORWARD/BACKWARD TRIM buttons. •�If your ATOM™ X flies forward, push and release the B TRIM button repeatedly until the moving stops and proper flight is maintained. •�If your ATOM™ X flies backwards, push and release the F TRIM button in the same manner until the problem is resolved.• From time to time you may have to adjust the FORWARD/BACKWARD TRIM to ensure the ATOM™ X will hover in mid-air and respond accurately to your commands.Banking Left/Right Trim• If your ATOM™ X is not steadily hovering and is banking to the left or right automatically, you may need to adjust the BANKING TRIM buttons. •�If your ATOM™ X banks to the left, push and release the R TRIM button repeatedly until the banking stops and proper flight is maintained. •�If your ATOM™ X banks to the right, push and release the L TRIM button in the same manner until the problem is resolved. • From time to time you may need to adjust the BANKING TRIM to ensure the ATOM™ X will steadily hover in mid-air and respond accurately to your commands.Forward/ BackwardTrimForward/Backward Trim ControlsPush backward trim buttonPush forward trim buttonIf flying forward...
