### GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS

WARNING: Failure to use this product in the intended manner as described in the quick start guide and instruction manual can result in damage to the product, property and/or cause serious injury. A Radio Controlled (RC) multirotor aircraft, APV platform, drone, etc. is not a toy! If misused it can cause serious bodily harm and damage to property.
WARNING: As the user of this product you are solely and entirely responsible for operating it in a manner that does not endanger yourself and others or result in damage to the product or the property of others. • Keep your hands, face and other parts of your body away from the spinning propellers/rotor blades and other moving parts at all times. Keep items that could impact or become entangled away from the propellers/rotor blades including debris, parts, tools, loose clothing, etc. • Always operate your aircraft in open areas that are free from people, vehicles and other obstructions. Never fly near or above crowds, airports or buildings. • To ensure proper operation and safe flight performance never attempt to operate your aircraft nearby buildings or other obstructions that do not offer a clear view of the sky and can restrict GPS reception. • Do not attempt to operate your aircraft in areas with potential magnetic and/or radio interference including areas nearby broadcast towers, power transmission stations, high voltage power lines, electrical storms, etc. • Always keep a safe distance in all directions around your aircraft to avoid collisions and/or injury. This aircraft is controlled by a radio signal subject to interference from many sources outside your control. Interference can cause momentary loss of control. • To ensure proper and safe operation of the automatic landing function in Home Mode you must start the motors with the aircraft in a position that has at least 10 feet (approximately 3 meters) of clear and open space around it and achieve a proper GPS lock. • Do not attempt to operate your aircraft with any worn and/or damaged components, parts, etc. (including, but not limited to, damaged propellers/rotor blades, old batteries, etc.). • Never operate your aircraft in poor or severe weather conditions including heavy winds, precipitation, lightning, etc. • Always operate your aircraft starting with a fully charged battery. Always land as soon as possible after the first level low voltage battery warning or land immediately after the second level low voltage battery warning (as indicated by the vibrations and audible alerts from the transmitter/personal ground station). • Always operate your aircraft when the voltage of the battery in the transmitter/personal ground station is in a safe range (as indicated by the battery charge status icon on the screen of the transmitter/personal ground station). • Always keep the aircraft in clear line of sight and under control, and keep the transmitter/personal ground station powered on while the aircraft is powered on. • Always move the throttle control stick down fully and turn off the motors in the event the propellers/rotor blades come into contact with any objects. • Always allow components and parts to cool after use before touching them and flying again. • Always remove batteries after use and store/transport them per the corresponding guidelines. • Avoid water exposure to all electronic components, parts, etc. not specifically designed and protected for use in water. Moisture causes damage to electronic components and parts. • Never place any portion of the aircraft or any related accessories, components or parts in your mouth as doing so could cause serious injury or even death. • Always keep chemicals, small parts and electronic components out of the reach of children. • Carefully follow the instructions and warnings included with this aircraft and any related accessories, components or parts (including, but not limited to, chargers, rechargeable batteries, etc.).
CAUTION: The electronic speed controls (ESCs) installed in the TORNADO are not compatible with any other product, and the TORNADO is not compatible with any other ESCs.

When charging the battery you must always remain in constant observation to monitor the charging process and react immediately to any potential problems that may occur. • After flying/discharging the LiPo battery you must allow it to cool to ambient/room temperature before recharging. • To charge the LiPo battery you must use only the included charger or a suitably compatible LiPo battery charger. Failure to do so may result in a fire causing property damage and/or serious injury. • If at any time the LiPo battery begins to balloon or swell, discontinue charging or discharging immediately. Quickly and safely disconnect the battery, then place it in a safe, open area away from flammable materials to observe it for at least 15 minutes. Continuing to charge or discharge a battery that has begun to balloon or swell can result in a fire. A battery that has ballooned or swollen even a small amount must be removed from service completely. • Do not over-discharge the LiPo battery. Discharging the battery too low can cause damage to the battery resulting in reduced power, flight duration or failure of the battery entirely. LiPo cells should not be discharged to below 3.0V each under load. • Store the LiPo battery at room temperature and in a dry area for best results. • When charging, transporting or temporarily storing the LiPo battery the temperature range should be from approximately 40–120° F (5–49° C). Do not store the battery or aircraft in a hot garage, car or direct sunlight. If stored in a hot garage or car the battery can be damaged or even catch fire. • Never leave batteries, chargers and power supplies unattended during use. • Never attempt to charge low voltage, ballooned/swollen, damaged or wet batteries. • Never allow children under 14 years of age to charge batteries. • Never charge a battery if any of the wire leads have been damaged or shorted. • Never attempt to disassemble the battery, charger or power supply. • Never drop batteries, chargers or power supplies. • Always inspect the battery, charger and power supply before charging. • Always ensure correct polarity before connecting batteries, chargers and power supplies. • Always disconnect the battery after charging. • Always terminate all processes if the battery, charger or power supply malfunctions. IMPORTANT NOTE: It’s safer and better for the longevity of the battery to store it only partially charged for any length of time. Storing the battery approximately 50% charged is typically best, however, it will take some careful management of the charge time and the use of a volt meter to achieve this voltage. If you have the equipment and skills to achieve the 50% charge level for storage it is recommended. If not, simply be sure to not store the battery fully charged whenever possible. In fact, as long as the battery will be stored at approximately room temperature and for no more than a few weeks before the next use, it may be best to store the battery in the discharged state after the last flight (as long as the battery was not over-discharged on the last flight).

### ASSEMBLING THE H920

INSTALLING THE MOTOR ARMS
Fold the motor arms upwards and secure them using the straight knurled nut cover located on the motor arms.
NOTICE: Don’t over tighten the straight knurled nuts, It may cause deformation of the arms.

INSTALLING THE PROPELLERS Always ensure propellers are installed properly and with thread locker on the fasteners. The rotors of the YUNEEC TORNADO H920 are made of high-strength carbon fiber, the motors are extremely powerful, meaning that if the device is misused there is a risk of material damage, serious injury and even fatal injury. Mount the propellers on the motors and note the pointers ‘A’ and ‘B’ given on the motor arms. This distinction between ‘A’ and ‘B’ refers to the rotation direction of the motors. The rotation direction of the motors must match the rotation direction of the propellers. Mount propeller ‘A’ on motor ‘A’ and propeller ‘B’ on motor ‘B’ and use the screws with spring plate and 2mm Hexdriver enclosed to carefully screw in the propellers.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If the propellers are installed in the wrong places, it may cause crash.

INSTALLING THE FLIGHT BATTERIES
Afterthe flight batteries has been fully charged, they are ready to be installed in the TORNADO H920: STEP 1) Open the battery compartment flap with the status LED mounted on it by carefully pulling the top edge of the flap. STEP 2) Slide the batteries into the compartment with the EC3 blue, polarityprotected connector leads / wires downward.
WARNING: The aircraft can take-off with 2 or 3 batteries. If utilizing 2 flight batteries, make sure the 2 batteries are placed evenly within the two sides to balance the aircraft. The voltage between each battery pack must be within 0.1V prior to connecting the batteries to the aircraft. Be sure to use the included battery voltage meter. STEP 3) Connect the flight battery to the relevant socket above the respective battery on the H920 using the EC3 blue, polarity-protected connector. NOTICE: The white socket is for battery charging, do not connect it to any port when installing the batteries. If you do not install the battery in the correct orientation it will not be possible to make a positive connection. STEP 4) Fasten the battery belt, Close the battery door and ensure the door is closed safely by the magnet.

### FLIGHT CONTROLS

To takeoff, first start the motors in angle mode, then slowly raise the left-hand stick to slightly above the center position. the TORNADO H920 will takeoff and climb slowly (or raise the stick further until it does). Allow the stick to return to the center position when the TORNADO H920 reaches the desired altitude.

Take your time learning how the TORNADO H920 responds to various control inputs while flying. In Smart Mode the TORNADO H920 will always move in the direction the right-hand control stick is pushed relative to the pilot and no matter which way the front/nose is pointed. In Angle (Pilot) Mode the TORNADO H920 will move in the direction the control stick is pushed relative to the front/nose of the aircraft (and the ‘angle’ of movement is determined by how far you push the stick away from the center position).

RETRACTING AND LOWERING THE RETRACTABLE LANDING GEAR
The TORNADO H920’s landing gear is to keep it out of frame when a camera is attached. You can retract it by switching up the Landing Gear Switch on the top right side of the ST24. Make sure to flip the switch to the downward position when landing. IMPORTANT NOTE: Always put down the landing gear before landing when the flight height is no less than 3m (10 feet) by switching down the Landing Gear Switch.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The joystick with the two control sticks respond proportionately, that means that the further you move the control stick from the centered resting point in the middle in one direction, the stronger the response and the faster the change in course. IMPORTANT NOTE: The maximum height is restricted to 122m above the ground in Smart Mode and 122m (400 ft.) in Angle Mode. If at any time during flight you feel like the TORNADO H920 is drifting out of/beyond your control, simply release both control sticks. the TORNADO H920 will automatically self-level and will even hold its position (with GPS on and a suitable GPS signal /lock) when both control sticks are centered. You can also activate Home Mode so the TORNADO H920 automatically flies itself back to the home point and lands.

13LANDING — Position the TORNADO H920 above the area where you would like to land. Slowly lower the left-hand stick to below the center position. The TORNADO H920 will descend slowly and land. After the TORNADO H920 lands, press and hold the START/STOP button for approximately 2 seconds to stop the motors. Activate Home Mode and the TORNADO H920 will automatically fly itself back to the home point and will land within a 26 feet (8 meter) diameter circle around it.
WARNING: Always land as soon as possible after the first level low voltage battery warning, or land immediately after the second level low voltage battery warning. And if at any time the Aircraft Battery Voltage shown on the screen is below 21.7V, land the TORNADO H920 immediately.

AFTER LANDING — ALWAYS turn off the TORNADO H920 BEFORE turning off the ST24. Then remove the battery from the TORNADO H920 and allow it to cool to ambient/room temperature before recharging.



### CONTROL RATE KNOB

Set the overall climb/descend and directional control rates. Turn the knob K2 in the clockwise direction for the lowest control rates (best for cinematic video performance). Turn the knob K2 in the couterclockwise direction for the highest control rates (best for capturing video of fast moving objects).



### FLIGHT MODES

The ST2 4 is equipped with 3 different flight modes which can be selected using the mode switch in the top right corner above the right joystick.

SMART MODE
Ifthe mode switch ‘10’ (S4) is fully up, then the H920 is in Smart Mode. Although we recommend learning how to fly as soon as possible in Angle Mode, Smart Mode is the best choice for low-time pilots when test flying. In Smart Mode, the H920 always flies in the direction in which the right joystick is moved by the pilot, regardless of the direction in which the nose is pointing. So if you move the stick to the right, the H920 will also move to the right regardless of the position of the nose, even if it is in the middle of turning. The mode can also be useful to pilots who have lost their bearings when flying in Angle Mode. HOME MODE
In Home Mode the GPS system allows the Tornado H920 to automatically fly back in a straight line toward the direction of the last take-off position, and automatically land within 13-26 ft (4-8m) of the pilot. This can be very helpful for first-time pilots who are not quite ready to land the TORNADO H920 themselves. It can also be helpful for pilots that lose orientation during flight; simply activate Home Mode until the TORNADO H920 automatically moves toward the home position, and once you’ve confirmed orientation switch back to Angle (Pilot) Mode. And if the TORNADO H920 ever loses the link with the ST24 it will automatically enter Home Mode. When Home Mode is activated the TORNADO H920 will respond as follows: A) When flying higher than 33 feet (10 meters) the TORNADO H920 will maintain the current altitude, fly back to the home point.

B) When flying lower than 33 feet (10 meters) the TORNADO H920 will climb to 33 feet (10 meters) while flying back to the home point.

CAUTION: You must be certain there are no obstacles in the ‘Return to Home’ flight path otherwise the TORNADO H920 may come into contact with them and crash.
CAUTION: While the TORNADO H920 is in Home Mode you will have a limited amount of directional control

. In Home Mode, only rudder can be controlled, the aileron and pitch can not be activated. When the copter is landing, the elevator, aileron and rudder can be controlled. To help avoid obstacles we strongly recommend to switch to Smart or Angle Mode (then you can switch back to Home Mode).
WARNING: Home Mode only works when the TORNADO H920 has a suitable GPS signal/lock. If the TORNADO H920 loses GPS signal/lock it will switch to Angle (Pilot) Mode automatically. This is why we strongly recommend learning to fly in Angle (Pilot) Mode as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you lose GPS signal/lock and are not able to properly control the TORNADO H920 in Angle (Pilot) Mode the aircraft may crash or even ‘fly away’.
NOTICE: The GPS function can by turned off by Switching S3 when the aircraft is disturbed by unknown signals.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Crash damage and ‘fly aways’ are NOT covered under warranty. 14ADDITIONAL SMART MODE FEATURES:
SMART CIRCLE : In most cases the Smart Circle will keep the H920 approx. 8m / 26 ft. away from you provided you are positioned 8 m /26 ft. behind the H920.
NOTICE: For optimal performance, aiming the Remote controller directly at the H920.

HOME MODE
In Home Mode the GPS system allows the Tornado H920 to automatically fly back in a straight line toward the direction of the last take-off position, and automatically land within 13-26 ft (4-8m) of the pilot. This can be very helpful for first-time pilots who are not quite ready to land the TORNADO H920 themselves. It can also be helpful for pilots that lose orientation during flight; simply activate Home Mode until the TORNADO H920 automatically moves toward the home position, and once you’ve confirmed orientation switch back to Angle (Pilot) Mode. And if the TORNADO H920 ever loses the link with the ST24 it will automatically enter Home Mode. When Home Mode is activated the TORNADO H920 will respond as follows: A) When flying higher than 33 feet (10 meters) the TORNADO H920 will maintain the current altitude, fly back to the home point. ANGLE MODE
If the Mode switch ‘10’ (S4) is in the centre position, then the H920 is in Angle Mode. Angle Mode is designed for pilots with a little experience (those who have already mastered Smart Mode), because in this mode the H920 moves in line with the joystick, in the direction in which the nose is pointed. So, if you move the right stick to the left, the H920 will tilt to the left and thus move to the left. That is assuming that the nose is pointing away from you. If the nose is pointing towards you, the H920 will move to the right from your point of view.

EXTRA ANGLE MODE FEATURES:
POSITION FREELY AND RETAIN ALTITUDE
The H920 will hold its position automatically when GPS on (if there is sufficient GPS signal) and it will retain the altitude level if the left stick is in the middle position. WARNING: If you have not mastered the H920 in Angle Mode, accidents or “fly aways” may result. IMPORTANT NOTE: Accidental damage and “fly aways” are not covered by the warranty.

B) When flying lower than 33 feet (10 meters) the TORNADO H920 will climb to 33 feet (10 meters) while flying back to the home point.

CAUTION: You must be certain there are no obstacles in the ‘Return to Home’ flight path otherwise the TORNADO H920 may come into contact with them and crash.
CAUTION: While the TORNADO H920 is in Home Mode you will have a limited amount of directional control

. In Home Mode, only rudder can be controlled, the aileron and pitch can not be activated. When the copter is landing, the elevator, aileron and rudder can be controlled. To help avoid obstacles we strongly recommend to switch to Smart or Angle Mode (then you can switch back to Home Mode).
WARNING: Home Mode only works when the TORNADO H920 has a suitable GPS signal/lock. If the TORNADO H920 loses GPS signal/lock it will switch to Angle (Pilot) Mode automatically. This is why we strongly recommend learning to fly in Angle (Pilot) Mode as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you lose GPS signal/lock and are not able to properly control the TORNADO H920 in Angle (Pilot) Mode the aircraft may crash or even ‘fly away’.

### COMPASS CALIBRATION

IMPORTANT NOTE: Calibration is not required. it is not needed unless they see flashing status LED.
NOTICE: In order to calibrate the compass in the YUNEEC TORNADO H920, we strongly recommend a team of 2 people due to the size and weight of the H920. Please be sure to perform the compass calibration procedure at least 11 feet away from the nearest cell phone or other electronic devices to ensure proper calibration.
CAUTION: Do not calibrate the compass in parking garages, close to buildings or near roads with a metal core. For optimum performance, only calibrate the H920 in open spaces, far away from electrical lines and other metal structures or concrete buildings.

Place th e H920 on the flat and lev el surface and point it w ith its nose towards t he north.

Power on the controller first and then the aircraft, and make sure they are connected correctly (If they are not connected correctly, the telemetry data will not display on the screen).

Turn the knob K2 in the couterclockwise direction to the left position near the rabbit mode.

Hold rudder stick left while at the same time toggling the mode switch more than 4 times. If successful, ST24 will indicate compass calibration has started.
NOTICE: After switching more than 4 times, if the aircraft stays in HOME Mode, the indicator will blink red rapidly when compass calibration is entered successfully.

22STEP 1) Lift the H920 airframe straight & level, then point the nose towards the north and hold it in this position for 4 seconds. The LED status indicators will automatically start to flash red/green/blue quickly. Slowly turn the H920 forward and around 360 degrees (pitch axis) until it is flat again.
STEP 2) Turn the H920 45° to the left and then turn it forward 360° again until it is lying flat in your hands again.
STEP 3) Turn the H920 45° to the left and then turn it forward 360° again until it is lying flat.
STEP 4) Turn the H920 45° to the left and then turn it forward 360° again until it is lying flat.
STEP 5) Turn the H920 45° to the left and then turn it forward 360° again until it is lying flat.

CAUTION: Steps 1 to 5 should be completed within a time span of 30 seconds in order to achieve successful calibration.
STEP 6) Place the H920 on the ground and wait a few seconds.

If the calibration has been successful, the flight controller restarts, you will recognize this when you hear the acknowledgement tone, the same one you hear when you switch the system on.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If calibration has failed, you must switch off the aircraft manually by repeating the calibration process. If the calibration should continue to fail, either the site of calibration is unsuitable or the compass is defective. Refer to your Yuneec service center. STEP 1 STEP 2 STEP 3
