STEERING & TURNING
4.1 — Steering and Turning
Use the left joystick to navigate the vehicle forward and backward. Use the right joystick to rotate the vehicle left
and right.
4.2 — Fast and Slow Speed Settings
Use the lower left-hand switch to control vehicle speed. Push it forward to go faster and pull it back to go slower.
A warning will come up on the screen if the transmitter is turned on and Switch F is in the high rate position.
4.3 — Signal Strength
The range of the transmitter will vary according to the line of sight and how elevated the user is in relation to the
rQPOD. If both are approximately 1 m (3.28 ft) above ground level the range is approximately 304.8 m (1000 ft)
but this can be increased if the user is elevated. A signal strength indicator is shown below. An audible warning
will be given when the connection is getting weak.

NOTE: If the rQPOD goes out of range it will not stop, but carry on going depending on the last
command received.
