Before charging, be sure the craft and remote control are powered OFF to avoid risk of injury or damage. Connect the charging cable (included) to the USB port of a powered ON computer or USB power adapter (not included), then connect the charging plug to the unit. Be sure to correctly match the plug to the charging port or damage may occur. Charge fully before use for maximum performance and flight time. Charging time is approximately 40-50 min. While charging, the cable will display a red light. When charging is complete, the light will turn OFF. 12 REMINDER: Do not charge overnight. Do not leave unattended while charging. 13 Flying Remote Link & Gyro Calibration Before flying, the craft and the remote must be linked together and the gyroscopes on the craft must be allowed to calibrate. Begin with the craft and remote powered OFF. Step 1 Power ON the craft and place it on a flat surface. This is necessary for the craft’s gyroscopes to properly align. The lights on the craft will blink as it searches for a signal from the remote. Be sure the craft and yourself are facing the same forward direction, this will help with orientation while flying. Step 2 Power ON the remote. The light on the remote will blink as it searches for the signal from the craft. An audible chime will sound and all lights will turn solid when the remote and the craft have linked. 14 Step 3 Push the Left Control Stick (throttle) fully forward and backward, and wait for a second chime. When this last chime has sounded, pull both control sticks down and inwards to calibrate the gyroscopes in the drone. While calibrating, the LEDs on the drone will blink rapidly, when this is finished the craft is ready to fly. Pitch Altitude Roll Yaw Roll Yaw Altitude Pitch Right Stick controls Pitch (forward/ backward) and Roll (left/right). Left Stick controls Altitude (power) and Yaw (spin). 15 Flying Setting Trim & Countering Drift Even after the craft is calibrated, it may show a tendency to drift while airborne. Adjusting the trim will help counter this effect and allow for better control the craft. • To avoid potential damage, adjust the trim while attempting a stable hover. • Try to avoid making any exaggerated movements with the flight controls. • Adjust one trim setting at a time to avoid confusion. Remember, the blue LED lights indicate the front of the craft. Adjusting the trim will help with drift but it will not entirely eliminate it. Turbulence and other factors may still influence the craft’s flight characteristics. 16 Adjust Roll Trim. Craft drifts right or left. 17 Flying Adjust Pitch Trim. Craft drifts forward or backward. 18 Gyroscope Recalibration & Trim Reset If the craft is experiencing difficulty flying or is behaving erratically, the gyroscopes may need to be recalibrated. It may also help to reset the trim settings for the remote. Do not attempt to do this while flying, safely land the craft first and place it on a flat surface. The craft and the remote should already be linked together. To reset the gyroscopes on the drone, pull down and to the inwards on both control sticks for 2-3 seconds. The LED lights on the drone will blink during the recalibration. When the LED lights have stopped blinking and return to solid the recalibration is complete and the craft is ready to fly. To reset the trim adjustments on the remote, pull down and outwards on both control sticks for 2-3 seconds. The remote will chime once when the reset is complete. 19 Flying Tips for Safe Operation • It is recommended to only fly in large, open spaces that are free of obstacles like power lines, trees, ceiling fans, etc. • When flying indoors avoid walls and ceilings, as the craft may be drawn towards them if closer than 2-3 feet. • Stand behind the craft when first taking off, so that you and the craft are facing the same “forward” direction. This will help with orientation when the craft is airborne. • Novice pilots should move the controls slowly and deliberately to get used to the craft’s flying characteristics. Try using one control at a time. • Practice basic flight operations like take off, hovering, and landing. • If you get into trouble or if anything obstructs the rotors, cut power immediately and safely clear the obstruction. Check for possible damage before flying again. 20 Speed Setting Press the Left Control Stick on the remote to change the craft’s speed setting. • Low: Provides smooth and predictable control of the craft. The remote will chime once to indicate the low speed setting. • Medium: The craft will move and respond faster to all control inputs. The remote will chime twice to indicate the medium speed setting. • High: Highest setting for maximum performance. The remote will chime three times to indicate the high speed setting. 21 Flying Headless Mode Before using Headless Mode be sure you and the craft are facing the same “forward” direction, otherwise the craft will not fly correctly. To activate Headless Mode, press and hold the Left Control Stick on the remote control. The LED lights will slowly flash while Headless Mode is ON. Press the button again to deactivate Headless Mode. While Headless Mode is active the craft will fly in whatever direction the Right Control Stick is moved, regardless of where the front of the craft is pointing. For example, if the front of the craft was pointed straight ahead but is now pointed right 90°, when you push forward on the stick the craft will fly forwards as if it was still pointed straight ahead. This can be useful if you become disoriented while flying and cannot visually determine which direction the craft is facing. 22 Flips Before attempting a flip, be sure that there is ample clear space around the craft, ideally 9-10 ft.. in all directions. It is not recommended to attempt to flip around or through any obstacles, as this may result in unintended damage. Press the Right Control Stick, then move it in any direction and the craft will perform a flip in the same direction. 23 Parts & Repair Rotor Replacement Rotor B or C The craft comes with replacement rotors if the originals are broken or badly damaged. To replace a rotor, gently pull it upwards and off of the motor shaft, then place the new rotor on the shaft and gently push down. Take special care not to bend or break the motor shaft. If the rotors are difficult to remove by hand, try a small set of tweezers or pliers. It is extremely important to use the correct rotor for replacement. The marking can be seen on the underside of the rotor. Using the incorrect rotor will make the craft impossible to control. Rotor A or D Matching rotors should be diagonally opposed. Rotor A or D 24 Rotor B or C Removal Replacement 25 Parts & Repair REMINDER: Pilots are responsible for any damage caused by improper use. Parts Replacement Standard parts such as extra batteries and remotes are available online for purchase when in stock. However, any non-standard parts such as screws, bodies, or certain electrical componenets, etc. can be ordered by placing an inquiry with our parts department at: partsinfo@dpiinc.com. 26 Troubleshooting Troublshooting Guide PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSES SOLUTION Craft does not respond to controls. •• No power to remote or craft. •• Poor contact between power plugs. •• Craft is out of range. •• Check remote batteries, replace if needed. •• Check craft battery, be sure it is fully charged. •• Be sure the power plugs are firmly connected. •• Be sure the remote has an unobstructed line of sight to the craft. •• Remain within the remote’s 164 ft. range. 27 Troubleshooting PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSES SOLUTION Craft is difficult to control or flies erratically. •• Gyroscopes may be misaligned. •• Recalibrate gyroscopes (see pg. 19). •• Power OFF remote and craft and reconnect (see pg. 14). Craft drifts while in flight. •• Trim not set or needs adjustment. •• Adjust trim settings (see pg. 16). •• Reset trim settings (see pg. 13). Craft suffers from mechanical trouble. •• Damage to body, rotors or other major components. •• Repair or replace parts as needed. 28 PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSES SOLUTION LED lights ON but craft does not respond to controls. •• Low battery power. •• Recharge the battery. 29 Customer Support Contact Information Warranty Website: www.gpx.com See included 30 Day Warranty for warranty information.
