The ideal space should have a 200 foot radius. • Parental guidance or adult supervision is suggested at all times.• If you are flying the TAU™ with others, make sure all spectators are behind you.• For best performance, it is recommended that you operate the TAU™ in zero wind conditions. Wind can greatly affect the performance of the TAU™.Important! When syncing your TAU™ drone with the controller always make sure that the drone is on a flat level surface. This insures that the 6 Axis gyro is properly programmed to mimic your trim settings.Your TAU™ utilizes an automatic 2.4G channel selection system that allows up to 8 people to fly side by side.For One Person Play:1. Before starting, make sure that your controller is turn OFF and the TAU™ battery is disconnected. Make sure that there are no other active 2.4G devices in the area as well. 2. Insert the battery into the TAU™ and set it down on a flat level surface. The white and red LED indicators of the TAU™ should flash rapidly.3. Turn ON your remote and you will hear 2 short beeps. The controller power indicator will light up.The white and red LED lights on the quadcopter start flashing slowly. Now push the throttle all the way up, then down, you will hear 2 short beeps and the indicating LED lights will turn solid. Your TAU™ and remote should have successfully synced. Should this not happen, repeat all steps again. For Multi Person Play: 4. Before starting, make sure that the power on all TAU™ and Controllers are turned OFF. Make sure that there are no other active 2.4G devices in the area as well.5. Each person will have to sync their TAU™ individually at a different time to avoid interference. Follow steps 1 to 3 above making sure to keep away from other people while also making sure that no one else is syncing at the same time. 6. The player should leave his TAU™ on once synced and wait for all other players to successfully sync.7. Should there be a mistake/interference, all players must turn off their controllers and TAU™ and start the process all over again. SYNCING YOUR TAU™ DO NOT FLY YOUR TAU™ IN FOUL WEATHER!WARNING• Verify that there are 2 “AAA” batteries inside the remote control unit and the TAU™ has been fully charged.• 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 or bodies of water. Set your TAU™ on a clean flat surface before take-off.DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FLY YOUR TAU™ IF THERE IS RAIN, SNOW, HEAVY WINDS, THUNDER OR LIGHTNING OUTDOORS.

RECOGNIZING THE FRONT AND REAR OF THE TAU™Even though the TAU ™ has four rotors there is still a "front" or "forward" facing direction and "rear" or "backward" facing direction. The"front"or "forward" facing direction of the TAU™ is the side with two eyes. The "rear" or "backward" facing directing of the TAU™ is where the battery compartment is. The TAU™ when in flight will also help you keep aware of the orientation with lighted LED lights in the arms of the TAU™.NOTE: The front of the copter displays WHITE LED lights and the back of the copter displays RED LED lights. 3/4 CHANNEL SELECTTAU™ allows you to control your Quadrocopter in 3 channel mode (beginner) or 4 channel mode (advanced flying). The TAU™ 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 TAU™ 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 TAU™ is now set to 4CH mode. NOW YOU ARE READY TO FLY!If you have successfully synced your TAU™ to your controller as explained on page 4 you are now ready to fly. Before beginning to fly your drone you should familiarize yourself with how to start and stop the rotors, how to use your Auto Start and Auto Land feature and how the controls work so please carefully read and familiarize yourself with various control features explained in the next two pages. Once again as a beginner pilot you should learn how to control your drone in a large open field or park on a day with zero or very light wind. Do not try to fly your TAU™ too high until you become a more experience pilot.AUTOMATICALLY TAKE OFF / LANDMake sure you have properly synced The TAU™.• Simply press the “start/land” button on the top of controller, your TAU™ will automatically take off. • To stop or land the TAU™ just press the “START/LAND” button again and the TAU™ 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 controller, located in the center. UNDERSTANDING THE ALTITUDE LOCK SENSORThe TAU™ has a unique Altitude Lock function, air pressure sensor that allows for easier flight control and stability. A beginner’s 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 it upwards to a safe height. Once at a safe height, release the throttle to the neutral position. Now your TAU™ should be locked in the altitude and you can focus on getting used to the directional controls of the TAU™. The copter always will tends to self correct and go back to the last locked height after moved up or down by outside forces.Note: The altitude sensor does have some tolerance based on atmospheric conditions and could have a slight variation in altitude. SPEED SETTING BUTTONThe TAU™ has 4 speed settings; T (VERY SLOW) ,1 (SLOW) , 2 (MEDIUM) and 3(HIGH). The Default setting when you first turn on your TAU™ 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. Letter T indicates speed level is very slow, Number 1 indicates slow speed, 2 indicates medium speed and 3 indicate high speed. T (Training)MODESimply press and hold the Speed Setting Button you will hear a long beep and the speed indicator will change to “T”, Now you are in the T mode. T mode allows you to learn how to operate your TAU™ in a very slow speed. Also in T mode a minimums and maximum height limit is set to help avoid crashing into the ground or ceiling while learning. To exit T mode just press the speed setting button again.4CH3CHNOTE: The use of the Trim buttons are accompanied with a Beep sound. A single long Beep indicates the product is center trimmed.
