Page 7: Lipo Battery Warnings And Usage Guidelines
And although the 300mAh 1-Cell/1S 3.7V 15C LiPo Battery (AZSH1205) included with your Ares™ Ethos QX 75 is intended to be charged safely using the included 1-Cell/1S 3.7V LiPo, 0.4A Dual Port DC USB Charger (AZSH1204) you must read the following safety instructions and warnings before handling, charging or using the LiPo battery. - Page 8 LiPo cells should not be discharged to below 3.0V each under load. In the case of the 1-Cell/1S 3.7V LiPo battery used to power the Ethos QX 75 you will not want to allow the battery to fall below 3.0V during flight.
-
Page 9: Charging The Lipo Flight Battery
Charging the LiPo Flight Battery You must charge the included 300mAh 1-Cell/1S 3.7V 15C LiPo Battery (AZSH1205) using only the included 1-Cell/1S 3.7V LiPo, 0.4A Dual Port DC USB Charger (AZSH1204) or a suitably compatible LiPo battery charger. Charging the LiPo battery using a non-LiPo battery compatible charger (such as a NiCd or NiMH battery charger), or even a different LiPo battery charger with the incorrect settings, may result in damage to the battery or even fire resulting in property damage and/or personal injury. - Page 10 When the battery is connected to the charger securely and with the proper polarity the LED indicator on the charger will glow solid red. The battery will be charging anytime it’s connected to the charger and the LED indicator is glowing solid red It will take approximately 50-60 minutes to charge a fully discharged (not over- ...

Page 11: Installing The Transmitter Batteries
‘Control Unit Initialization and Arming’ and the ‘Transmitter and Receiver Binding/Linking’ sections of this manual for more information). Transmitter Details The Ethos QX 75 includes an M4LPQ Micro 4-Channel LP Quadcopter Transmitter equipped with 2.4GHz technology, dual rates, digital trims and an LCD screen. - Page 12 The unique LCD screen displays a variety of data when the transmitter is powered on: Dual Rate Status Indicator This indicator shows the control rate mode currently selected; ‘FULL’ for high rate and ‘HALF’ for low rate (please see the ‘Transmitter Dual Rates’ section of this manual for more information).

Page 13: Installing The Lipo Flight Battery
Rudder Channel Trim Position Indicator This indicator shows the approximate rudder channel trim position. The trim position should be adjusted as needed during flight to ensure the nose of the quadcopter does not constantly turn (yaw) left or right when ‘hovering’ and without any rudder/left-hand stick input. - Page 14 After the LiPo battery has been fully charged it’s ready to be installed in the quadcopter. Install the flight battery by sliding it into the battery mount (located on the bottom of the main frame) with the wire leads and connector oriented towards the back of the quadcopter. IMPORTANT NOTE: You should always position the battery so it’s approximately ‘centered’...

Page 15: Control Unit Initialization And Arming
REMEMBER: The transmitter is always on first and always off last! Control Unit Initialization and Arming The Ethos QX 75 is equipped with a compact and advanced 4-in-1 control unit. The control unit is a lightweight combination of 2.4GHz receiver, four electronic speed controls (ESCs), mixer and 3-axis gyro. - Page 16 Power the transmitter on and confirm that the LED indicator is blinking red. Then, slide the flight battery into the battery mount (located on the bottom of the main frame) and connect it to the control unit. NOTE: If this will be the first flight, or the first flight following repairs, you should ‘center’...

ESCs/motors are now armed. After confirming the control unit is initialized and the ESCs/motors have armed properly your Ethos QX 75 is ready to fly. However, please review the following sections of the manual BEFORE proceeding with the first flight. - Page 18 NOTE: The transmitter will remember the last rate mode you selected even if it’s turned off then on again. This means each time the transmitter is powered on it will automatically be in the rate mode that was selected before it was powered off. In the FULL/high rate mode the controls are allowed to reach their maximum values.

Page 19: Flight Controls And Trimming
Flight Controls and Trimming In the event you are not familiar with the controls of the Ethos QX 75 please take the time to familiarize yourself with them as follows and before attempting your first flight: The left-hand stick on the transmitter controls both throttle (climb/descend) and rudder (yaw left/right). - Page 20 Moving the left-hand stick to the left will turn (yaw) the nose of the quadcopter to the left about the vertical axis. This is accomplished by increasing the speed of the left-front and right-rear propellers/rotor blades while decreasing the speed of the right-front and left-rear propellers/rotor blades.
- Page 21 The right-hand stick controls both elevator (pitch fore/aft) and aileron (roll). Pushing the stick forward will pitch the nose of the quadcopter downward, allowing it to be flown forward. Pulling the stick backward will pitch the tail the quadcopter downward, allowing it to be flown backward.
- Page 22 Moving the stick to the left will roll the quadcopter to the left, allowing it to be flown to the left. Moving the stick to the right will roll the quadcopter to the right, allowing it to be flown to the right.

Page 23: Selecting A Flying Area
Selecting a Flying Area The relatively small size and light weight of the Ethos QX 75 makes it ideal for flying indoors. We suggest an area with approximately 10-feet by 10-feet of floor space and with 8+ foot high ceilings for your first few flights. The powerful direct drive coreless motors and fully proportional 4-channel controls also offer plenty of power and control to fly the Ethos QX 75 outdoors in calm to light wind conditions. - Page 24 • Lift the model off the ground approximately 12-16 inches and concentrate on balancing the left-hand/throttle stick position so the quadcopter holds a steady hover altitude. It may also be helpful to make a few short ‘hops’ to an altitude of just a few inches until you’re familiar and more comfortable with the control inputs and trim settings required to maintain a steady hover and altitude.
-
Page 25: Automatic Flip Mode
• Continue to practice until you’re comfortable hovering the quadcopter at approximately 12-16 inches high. Then you can transition to hovering the quadcopter at higher altitudes of approximately three to four feet. Don’t be afraid to set the quadcopter down on the ground quickly by lowering the •... - Page 26 The Automatic Flip Mode (AFM) is activated by pressing the ‘AUTO FLIP MODE’ button (the left side of the rocker switch) located on the top left ‘corner’ of the transmitter. You will feel a ‘click’ and also hear continuous audible beeps/tones that indicate you’ve activated AFM after pressing the button.
- Page 27 After activating AFM: Pushing the right-hand/elevator stick forward to the highest possible position will cause the quadcopter to automatically flip a full 360 degrees forward from the starting position. Pulling the right-hand/elevator stick backward to the lowest possible position will cause the quadcopter to automatically flip a full 360 degrees backward from the starting position.

Page 28: Transmitter And Receiver Binding/Linking
Binding/linking is the process of programming the receiver in the control unit to recognize the Globally Unique Identifier (GUID) code of a single specific transmitter. The Ares Ethos QX 75 features user-friendly technology that automatically binds/links your receiver to the transmitter by simply turning the transmitter on first then plugging the flight battery in to power on the receiver/control unit (please see the ‘Control Unit Initialization and... -
