XIRO Xplorer User Manual page 9

• With the gimbal installed,
check to make sure that it
functions as expected.
• Remove the Gimbal
Protector before powering
on the Xplorer.
• Be aware that flying in wet
conditions (even a cloud)
can lead to a temporary
failure of the gimbal. After
drying it out it will again
function normally.
Removing the gimbal
Step 1: If the battery has already been installed on the
Xplorer, it will be necessary to remove it from the drone prior
to removing the gimbal unit. Once this has been done, place
the Xplorer on its back (with the landing gear facing upwards)
and position the landing gear so that they are in the horizontal
position. That is, each of the legs should be positioned so that
they are closest to the LED lamps on the drone.
Step 2: Pull the gimbal locking tab outwards.
Step 3: Remove the gimbal by sliding it towards the gimbal
locking tab and gently pulling away from the Xplorer.
INSTALLING THE FLIGHT BATTERY
• The battery is installed on the bottom of the Xplorer. It should
be firmly and securely installed prior to flying the drone to
prevent any difficulties that might arise.
Step 1: With the
Xplorer on its back
(top down), place
the battery in the
proper location. The
grooves and tabs on
the battery should be
correctly aligned with
the grooves and tabs
on the bottom of the
drone's body.
Step 2: Once
everything has been
properly aligned, slide
the battery forward
into the male fittings
on the drone body. The battery should be positioned so that it
is flat against the body (no gaps or uneven alignment). Please
note the indication line and text on the drone's body. The
battery should be installed so that the edge clearly meets this
alignment indicator.

Step 3: With the battery
firmly in place, slide
the battery lock button
towards the battery
to further secure the
battery. There is an
indication line on the
battery. When the button
is in the correct location,
this will serve as an
indicator. Additionally,
when sliding the button,
1
there are two detents
that will be noted when
locking the battery. It is
Guideline
important to note that
both detents are felt
to further indicate the lock has been properly affixed. This is
an added safety precaution and will prevent the battery from
inadvertently coming loose during flight.
**Note** If the battery lock button is not in the locked position
the Xplorer cannot take off and the power button located on
the top of the Xplorer will blink rapidly.
REMOVING THE FLIGHT BATTERY
Removing the battery is a very simple process. It is basically a
reversal of the steps noted previously.
Step 1: Ensure that
the Xplorer's power is
OFF by pressing and
holding the Xplorer's
power button located
on the top of the
drone. Of course,
it is important to
make sure that the
motors have been
disabled/disarmed
prior to doing so.
This information is
explained elsewhere
in this manual.
Step 2: Push the
battery lock button to
the unlocked position.

Assuming that the
Xplorer is resting on
the landing gear, this
will be in an upward
position.
Step 3: Pull the battery
straight back away
1
from the drone's body.
