Ready to fly your quadcopter
1.Press the ON/OFF power switch up.
2.Open battery cover,and connect battery connector with dash receiver.
3.Enclose battery into the fuselage, after closing battery cover,turn on
the switch on the bottom of aircraft.
4.Push the throttle lever to the highest position,and then pull it back to
the lowest position.There will be one clear sound from the transmitter,this
shows that the quadcopter has entered into the pre-fly state.
Function introduction
1.Low-voltage protection:
If four indicator lights in the bottom of aircraft start to twinkle, it means
that the aircraft is short of electricity and is not able to roll. At that
time, a return voyage shall immediately be made to the aircraft.
2.Over-current protection:
In the condition of rotating aircraft’s fan blade, when being crashed or
stuck, aircraft’s circuit will conduct over-current protection.
3.Horizontal correcting function:
Place the quadcopter on a horizontal postion,then push transmitter both left
and right lever
to lowest right conner for about 2-3 second ,indicator on the quadcopter
changed from
normal lights up to quickly flashing ;After 2-3 second ,the indicator changed
to normal lights,it means the quadcopter restarted /reset successfully.
4.3D eversion:
When you are familiar with the basic operation,you can do some awesome&
exciting tricks and stunts! First of all,fly the aircraft to a height of
more than 3 meters, press the 3D Eversion switch on the rear right side of
the transmitter,then push the right rudder(in any direction)to make 360
degree flip.
Tips:3D eversion goes better when battery power is enough.
5.Headless function:
1. Forward definition
1. Turn on power switch of remote control.
2. After aircraft connects with power supply, place the switch in “ON”
position, adjust the direction pointed by aircraft’s handpiece and regard
it as the dead ahead in headless situation.
3. Push the accelerator’s push rod of remote control to the highest point
and pull back to the lowest point.When remote control pops, it indicates
that frequency
modulation and forward definition have already finished.
2. Switch to headless function and general function
1. After frequency modulation, the aircraft defaults to general pattern.
The indicator light on aircraft is long bright state. After pressing down
headless function switch on the top left of master remote controller for
2 seconds, remote control will give out “DDD...”, it means that it enters
into headless state. After pressing for 2 seconds and hearing long “D”, it
means that it exits headless state.(In headless mode, four indicators on
the
aircraft flicker slowly for once within four seconds)
2. In headless state, the operator has no need torecognize the position of
aircraft’s headpiece, and he just needs to control the aircraft in accordance
with the direction of remote control’s operating rod.
3. Correcting forward direction
1. When the aircraft is in the headless condition, if there is any deviation
in the fixed-head direction, it is necessary to re-fix the right direction
of the aircraft and stir the
accelerator and direction lever to the bottom left side.Long-time shining
of indicator lights on the aircraft after slow flashing for 3 seconds shows
that adjustment is
Completed.
Battery replacement and charging method
Steps of battery replacement:
1. Turn off aircraft’s power supply, and push the switch to “OFF”.
2. Open aircraft’s battery cover backward.
3. Connect battery interface with dash receiver.
4. After battery replacement, fasten the battery cover again.
Steps of battery charge:
1. Connect battery switch with charger.
2. Connect charger to power supply socket.
Balanced charger:
1. Insert adapter’s DC outlet into import socket of balanced charger. Red
light
of balanced charger will light on.
2. Insert three-position balanced plug of power battery to output end of
charger.
Green light of balanced charger will light on. When green light extinguishes,
it means the end of battery charging.
(Charging time is less than 200 minutes)
Note: if power battery inserts into the charger, the light has no change.
It
indicates that this battery is full energy. There is no need to recharge.
Charging time: about 200 minutes Flying time: about 7 minutes!
Cautions when charging:
1.When charging, please put this product on a dried or ventilated area and
keep
it far away from heat source or explosive product.
2.When charging, please remove the batteries from the quadcopter. Then
charging process should be supervised by an adult so as not to cause an
accident.
3.When finish flying, please do not charge the battery if the surface
temperature
is still not cool. Otherwise it may cause a swollen battery or even a fire
hazard.
4.Please make sure that you use the original USB charging cable provided.
When the battery has been used for a long time, or appears to be swollen,
please replace them.
5.A battery when not in use for a long time will lose its charge automatically.
Charging or discharging too often may reduce the life of the battery.
Steps of fan blade’s installation/disassembly of
aircraft
Steps of fan blade’s disassembly:
1. Rotate and back out fan blade cover in anti-clockwise direction as shown in Figure (1) .
2. Rotate blade lockstitch for about 90° in the anti-clockwise as figure(2) till the iron shaft
point to the
opening of blade lockstitch.
3. Get iron shaft out and pull blade lockstitch upward as figure (3) shows.
4. Pull out fan blade upward as shown in Figure (4).
Installation steps of fan blade:
1. Insert fan blade into principal axis pipe as shown in Figure (1)
2. Install the blade lockstitch inside the quill as figure (2) shows to ensure that the gap
of blade
lockstitch aligns at the hole on the quill.
3. Install the iron shaft inside and rotate blade lockstitch for about ninety degrees in the
clockwise
direction shown in figure (3).
4. Rotate and twist fan blade cover in clockwise direction as shown in Figure (4).
Maintenance procedure
Problems Causes
Solutions
Aircraft has no response
1. Aircraft enters into low-voltage protection.
2. Electric quantity of remote control is insufficient, power indicator light will flicker.
3. Channel selection of remote control is inconsistent with aircraft’s match codes.
1. Charge the aircraft.
2. Change remote control’s battery.
3. Adjust channels of remote control and aircraft, and make them become consistent.
Aircraft’s flying response is insensitive
1.The remote-control unit suffers low battery or the quality of battery is not good enough.
2. Remote control with the same frequency is transmitting interference.
1.Change battery with better quality.
2. Change the place where has no transmitting interference of the same frequency.
When hovering, side flight is formed
1. Have no horizontal correction.
1. Conduct horizontal correction, as shown in p.8(3)(correcting function)
In headless state, it deviates to dead ahead
1. Head deflection is caused by multiple collisions.
2.Long time usage of headless mode.
1. Define forward again, as shown in p.9(5)(headless function)
