  • Page 18 The model features an infrared object detection feature. An infrared LED is attached to each side of the model above the landing gear. The light from the infrared LEDs is invisible to the human eye. The infrared beam is reflected by obstacles/objects (e.g. a wall).

  • Page 19: Before First Use

    11. Before first use This manual uses the standard terms for controlling a quadcopter. These are used in aviation terminology and are in widespread use. Directions are given from the perspective of a "virtual" pilot. The direction is indicated by the three green LEDs in the chassis (these indicate "backwards").

  • Page 20: C) Pitch Function

    c) Pitch function "Pitch" refers to the movement of the quadcopter about the horizontal axis (comparable to a nodding head). This makes the quadcopter accelerate/brake forwards or backwards. Move the right-hand lever (figure 7, position 10) forwards to make the quadcopter move forwards, or pull the lever backwards to make the quadcopter move backwards.

  • Page 21: Starting The Quadcopter

    12. Starting the quadcopter You must learn how to use and control a remote-controlled quadcopter. If you have not driven such models before, proceed with caution and learn how the model reacts to remote control commands. Be patient! Refer to the instructions in section 11. Do not take any risks when using the product! Always use the model responsibly, otherwise you may endanger yourself and your surroundings.

  • Page 22: Trimming The Quadcopter

    13. Trimming the quadcopter The quadcopter is not 100% stable and may drift in a certain direction. This is caused by external factors (e.g. wind) and incorrectly calibrated sensors (gyroscopes). The drift can be largely eliminated by calibrat- ing the sensors and using the trim functions. If the quadcopter drifts in one direction, trim the quadcopter in the opposite direction using the corresponding trim on the remote control.

  • Page 23: Calibrating The Sensors

    14. Calibrating the sensors If the trim is not sufficient to make the quadcopter hover in a fixed position (e.g. after a crash), the sensors need to be recalibrated. Follow the steps below: Place the quadcopter on a level surface. Pull both control levers as far as they will go in the direc- tion indicated in figure 17 and hold them in place for ap- proximately 3 seconds.

  • Page 24: Starting The Rotors And Automatic Landing

    15. Starting the rotors and automatic landing Warning! Remove all obstacles surrounding the quadcopter before starting the rotors. The rotors must only be start- ed in large rooms/halls or outdoors. For safety reasons, people/animals and objects must be at least 2 meters from the take-off position, other- wise the quadcopter may be damaged or may cause injury or damage to property! The automatic landing feature is a preprogrammed sequence.

  • Page 25: Headless Mode

    17. Headless mode In headless mode, the quadcopter always moves in the direction of the remote control levers, regardless of its orienta- tion. For example, when you move the control lever to the right, the quadcopter will always move to the right (regard- less of which direction the quadcopter is facing).

  • Page 26: Image And Video Recordings

    18. Image and video recordings a) General information The quadcopter comes with a camera that can be rotated wirelessly by 90°. You can use the remote control or a smartphone app to take photos, record video and control the camera.
