Storage LiPo batteries should be stored with a voltage of about 3,8V per cell. If the cell voltage falls below 3 V, then the battery must be necessarily charged. Deep discharge and storage in discharge status (cell voltage < 3V) make the battery useless. For transport and storage the LiPo batteries should be placed in a safety bag e.g.

The charger and the battery to be charged must be placed on a non-combustible, heat-resistant and non-conducting surface during operation. Do not use the charger near easily flammable materials. Always disconnect the charger from the power supply when it is not in use.
Charging the battery Plug the USB connector of the included charger to a suitable 5 V port. 1. The LED on the charger will light green. 2. Plug the battery connector to the charger charging port. 3. The LED will turn from green (stand by mode) to red (charge mode).

Stick calibration If the center position of your self-neutralizing control stick does not precisely correspond to 0% control travel, you can check and correct it as follows. Stick calibration step by step: • Bring the transmitter to the programming mode by pushing and holding the left stick while switching on the transmitter.
Installing the propellers CAUTION Risk of injury through rotating propellers by motors start. Always unplug the connector to the battery before working on the pro- pellers. Install the propellers as shown in the picture below. Pay atten- tion to install the proper propeller to each motor. The propeller rotation sense is written on the propeller (R/L)! The image rep- resents the copter seen from the top.
First flight Choose a free area for your first flight. Select always first the Atti- tude mode, because the Copter is thus easier to control and to become familiar with the flight characteristics of the Alpha 110Q. Proceed carefully and responsibly. Start and land always in Atti- tude mode.
Camera function by version S 5012.FPV Through the installed camera and the video transmitter is emit- ted a video signal. The transmission starts as soon as you con- nect the copter battery. Scan the transmission signal of the cop- ter in your video goggles or video monitor. The video channel switching will be described in the next sec- tion Special functions.
The S5012.RFH version has a big white LED on the front. To LED On/Off (Version S5012.RFH) switch the LED on program a mixer on your transmitter to chan- nel 6 with -100%. With the LED on the Auto-flip function is not available.
Finally complete the procedure for yaw: on the transmitter, briefly set the yaw command fully to the right. Turn the copter so that the nose turns more than 45 degrees to the right; the axis is dis- played, the field is no longer highlighted and identification of this axis is complete.
POWER2SENS.: Very strong drives can lead to oscillating at full throttle. This parameter allows you to set a kind of gyro suppression. Higher values result in an increased gyro suppression towards full throt- tle. Only for attitude mode ROLL/NICK I Set the I component of the Attitude mode.
