Altitude Sensor Calibration; Flying The Drone - Protocol dronium III AP Instruction Manual

ALTITUDE SENSOR CALIBRATION

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINES,
CALIBRATE THE ALTITUDE SENSOR.
DO THIS BEFORE EACH FLIGHT –
EVERY TIME!
TO CALIBRATE ALTITUDE SENSOR
Press the calibration button down once. (Fig.1)
Calibration Button*
*Press once to calibrate. Lights will flash quickly during calibration and then will
go steady when completed. Don't worry if you press it again as it will simply
recalibrate again..
NOTE:
The Altitude Sensor assists pilots by stabilizing altitude fluctuations. This stabilizing
technology reduces, but does not eliminate all fluctuations. The drone may drift
upwards or downwards somewhat during flight. This is normal. Manual adjustments
to altitude are part of the normal piloting process.

OPERATION: FLYING THE DRONE
STARTING THE ENGINE; ENGINE IDLE
1. After synchronizing and calibrating the drone, move the throttle and
direction sticks to the lower left and lower right corners (blue lines) and
release to go into Idle mode. The blades will rotate but the drone will
not lift.
TAKE–OFF:
1. Press the take off button. The remote will beep and the drone will hover
a few feet off the ground. Then gently advance the throttle to a desired
height and release. The drone will hover at that height.*
OR
2. From Idle mode, gently advance the throttle up to a desired height and
release. The drone will hover at that height.*
LANDING:
1. Press the landing button to lower the drone to the ground.
OR
2. Push down on the throttle until the drone is on the ground.
NOTE:
- The engine will shut off if you choose to hold the throttle down for
3 seconds.
- Emergency Shut Off: When in flight,
pull the throttle and direction stick
to the center at the same time
(red lines) and the drone will shut off.
* The drone may drift a bit, especially in the first 30 seconds until the
altitude sensor gets a good fix on the position. Some drift is normal.
