  • Page 23: Instructions Of Use

    INSTRUCTIONS OF USE MANUFACTURER NOTES: * Never try to move the wings up/down manually! * This product was tested for a lifespan of hundreds of cycles in flight; however, it remains a high technology product that should be handled with care when not flying.
  • Page 24 CHARGING THE BATTERY ON THE USB CHARGE DEVICE Insert the battery card into the charger slot, making sure that the gold connectors are on the right side (opposite the charger's steel wires). Use the USB cable to connect an USB port or a mobile phone USB wall charger to the charge device.
  • Page 25 "nest" in the rest of this document. Switch X-Fly ON. The application will recognize your X-Fly and display its image and name (that can be edited). The blue LED on your X-Fly will stop flashing and stay lit.
  • Page 26 That's why we're going to describe just a few basic functions to get you started with X-fly. At the bottom, click on the TILT mode icon (2). This is the most immersive mode, which quickly frees your mind from the commands.
  • Page 27 Tip: Don’t grasp your smartphone using your whole hand, rather rest it on your four fingers with your thumb on the screen so you can give yourself the greatest freedom to tilt on both sides by turning your wrist. Do Not Beep Settings Disturb*...
  • Page 28 * Do Not Disturb: When activated, this will lock the X- Fly's control screen to prevent notifications or calls from appearing above it and causing you to lose control of the aircraft while flying. To exit, click on it again.
  • Page 29 If you need to lower X-Fly quickly (in a risky situation), press and hold this button for as long as necessary. X-Fly will automatically deactivate anti stall function and turn fully to the right while throttle at maximum, so that X-Fly will nosedive towards the ground.
  • Page 30 Take-off from the floor: this requires a surface that's not too grainy, so that the paws don't get stuck. In some cases, increasing the throttle gradually is necessary. (TIP: To take off from a table you need to put X-Fly at 30/36 v1 19-04-2024...
  • Page 31 "Flight" button at the bottom of the page. Then deactivate the 2 assistants (straight flight and anti-stall). Fly X-Fly in a wide-open space with no wind. First fly in a straight line for a while (without turning), then test turns on both sides.
  • Page 32 The principle is to increase the ballast of the wing opposite the direction of the turn you have observed. For example, if X-Fly tends to turn to the right, move the ballast of its left wing to the tip and leave that of the right wing unchanged (basic position).
  • Page 33 IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT THE USE OF X-FLY - It is strongly recommended to charge the X-Fly at least at 50% of the battery capacity before to store it after use, the battery life shall be shortened if not. - Below 5° C, LiPo batteries lose capacity and power.
