3.1.2 T1000 Remote Control Calibration
Warning
If the flight control or digital radio is not fully activated, you will not find the available device by clicking the
Bluetooth button.
The airborne and ground-side digital radio must be successfully paired with the code to use the Bluetooth
connection; otherwise, the connection cannot be successfully established.
The ground control station(GCS) uses the smart phone's own map. Just connect to the network to load the
map.
In order to ensure flight safety, the flight controller must connect the remote controller before using the GCS.
When the aircraft enters the waypoint, it will fly in a straight line with the shortest distance. In order to ensure
flight safety, it is important to plan the route reasonably and not to draw folded overlapping polygons.
Do not change the parameters while the aircraft is in the air.
Tips
After connecting the mobile phone and remote controller, click the parameter setting button in the upper right
corner of the IFLY (APP)flight interface to enter the parameter adjustment interface. The icons in the left menu bar
are model selection, remote control calibration, accelerometer calibration and magnetic compass from top to
bottom. Reading and writing of parameters such as calibration and sensitivity, reading and writing of voltage,
reading and writing of plant protection functions, flight control firmware versions and flight control serial numbers.
Calibration rocker:
Click "Calibrate Joystick" to start the calibration of the remote controller, and toggle the joystick to the
maximum and minimum value of each channel. After clicking this button again, the value of each channel will be
back to the middle, and the last time to click, if the prompt fails, it means there is a problem with the value of each
channel. If successful, the calibration is written successfully. (Requires 3 clicks)
Figure 3-12

3.1.3 Accelerometer Calibration
After the aircraft is powered on and the ground station is connected to the aircraft, click the acceleration
calibration and a prompt will pop up. Accelerometer calibration will be performed as prompted.
Figure 3-13
3.1.4 Magnetic Compass Calibration
The magnetic compass is integrated in the GPS module. For first time use, magnetic compass calibration
must be performed ,otherwise, the system may not work properly, affecting flight safety. The magnetic compass is
easily disturbed by other electronic devices, which affects flight and even causes flight accidents. Regular
calibration can make the aircraft work in the best condition.
Figure 3-14
Warning
Do not calibrate in areas with strong magnetic fields, such as magnetic mines, parking lots, and construction
areas with underground reinforcement.
Do not carry ferromagnetic materials, such as mobile phones.
24
Do not calibrate near bulk metal.
Do not calibrate the compass indoors.
Calibration procedure:
Figure 3-15
Caution
Please vacate the venue and follow the steps below to calibrate the compass. It is recommended that the
calibration be performed with no liquid in the pesticide tank.
1. Click Compass Calibration on the Magnetic Compass Calibration page in the APP, then enter calibration
mode.
2. Rotate the aircraft 360° horizontally. When the status indicator of the aircraft is steady green, horizontal
calibration is successful.
3. With the nose of the aircraft facing upwards, rotate 360° horizontally. When the red, yellow, and green
indicators flash alternately, the vertical calibration is successful.
4. Complete the calibration. If the aircraft status indicator flashes alternately red, yellow and green, it means
that the calibration was successful and you need to power on again. If the status indicator of the aircraft shows a
steady red light, it means that the calibration failed. Please power off and restart, and follow the above steps to
recalibrate the compass.
Need to recalibrate:
1. The magnetic compass is abnormal, and the aircraft status indicator shows that the yellow light flashes
rapidly or the red light flashes rapidly.
2. The site of this flight is far away from the site where the magnetic compass was calibrated last time.
3. The mechanical structure of the aircraft has changed.
4. The route is not straight during flight.

2. In addition to the attitude mode, all other flight modes have the function of automatic landing recognition and
will automatically stop the rotation;
3. In addition to the attitude mode, the lowest throttle of the aircraft during flight will not cause the motor to stop.
3.1.10 Motor Test
The motor test function includes the motor sequence test and the movement direction test. It is mainly used to
detect whether the motor installation serial number and rotation direction are correct, so as to avoid accidents due
to installation errors.
Motor sequential test：
When it is locked, please push the left joystick of the remote control to the lower left↙, and then make the
right joystick do counterclockwise coiling (U.S. hand mode)↗↖↙↘, then the motor sequential test will be
triggered, and the motor will rotate at a low speed according to 1 to 4 Order.
Japanese hand mode, motor test method:
1. Put the left rocker to the bottom left↙, and turn the right rocker to the bottom right ↘and keep the position of
the rocker;
2. Then put the left rocker to the top left↖, and put the right rocker to the bottom left↙, then put the left rocker to
the bottom left↙, the right rocker dial to the bottom right↘. During the operation to the joystick, the left joystick
is left on the left and the right joystick is kept on the bottom. Repeat step 2 in order to trigger the motor sequence
detection.

Caution
Normally only one rocker operation is required to trigger the motor sequence detection. If the rocker position
is operated incorrectly, you need to repeat step 2 to trigger the detection.
Direction test：
After unlocking, the aircraft propellers rotate at a low and constant speed (if there is no operation, the power
output will be turned off within 3 seconds). Operate the four channels of the remote controller to determine
whether the forward whether the rotation direction is correct. For example, when the propeller is rotated at the
lowest speed, Push up the "forward rocker", and the two propellers on the back side of the aircraft will rotate, and
the propellers on the front side will stop. In the same way, when the roll rocker is pushed to the left, the propellers
on the left side will stop and the propellers on the right side will rotate.

controller’s CH6 switch is set to the one-stroke return position or the flight controller enters runaway protection,
once the aircraft is more than 2 meters away from the home point, the aircraft will automatically rise to the set
altitude (if the current altitude is higher than the set return altitude, keep the current altitude.And the aircraft does
not accept manual intervention during the return flight. When the aircraft arrives at the home point, it will hover for
about 3 seconds in the air, and then it will descend slowly. At this time, the aircraft can be controlled by the remote
control(but the throttle stick will not work), so that the aircraft can find more suitable landing point. Until the
aircraft is fully grounded, the aircraft will automatically lock. If the aircraft is less than 2 meters away from the
