(1)The front indicator light: a. The red light keeps steady when the motor starts. 

 b. The red light blinks in low voltage condition and there’s an alarm sound if the 

battery voltage drops below 10.6V. 

(2)The rear indicator light: a: The green light keeps steady when the motor starts. 

b. The green light blinks in low voltage condition and there’s an alarm sound if 

the battery voltage drops below 10.6V. 

(3)The indicator light of the main control board calibration, motor unlock/lock 

indicator light: The yellow indicator light and red indicator light blink alternately 

when the main control board calibrates. The red indicator light blinks slowly 

when the motor is locked, and the red indicator light stays lit when motor is 

unlocked.

(4)GPS signal indicator LED light: The green indicator light blinks when less than 6 

satellites from the GPS system are received; the green indicator light stays solid 

lit when more than 6 satellites from the GPS system are received. NOTE: The 

satellites received from the GPS system must be more than 6 satellites in 

Stable Mode and Return Home Modes. (The green indicator light stays solid lit) 

1. Binding

(1)Insert the battery into the quadcopter battery bay and connect the power plugs. The Red indicator light and the 

Green indicator light will blink rapidly alternately, please do not move or shake the quadcopter at this moment; 

close the battery cover when the Red indicator light and the Green indicator light blink slowly alternately. 

(2)Turn on the transmitter, the binding with the quadcopter will succeed after the beeping sound of the transmitter 

stops.

 (NOTE: Put the throttle stick to the lowest position before the binding. 2.SWA,SWB switches need to be in the “0” 

position..)

2. Receiving the GPS signal

(1)For the first time outdoors, it takes longer to get the GPS signal, please wait about 2 minutes until the LED 

indicator light becomes steady lit.

(2)Please do not use the GPS Modes (Stable Mode and Return Home Mode) indoor in order to avoid accidents.

3. Motor Unlock & Motor Lock

(1)Motor Unlock: Once binding, put down the throttle stick to the bottom right position. When the Red light becomes 

steady, the motors are unlocked.

(2)Motor Lock: Once binding, put down the throttle stick to the bottom left position. When the Red light blinks, the 

motors are locked. 

4.Compass Calibration

The purpose of calibrating is to assure the quadcopter’s compass can pinpoint itself in the GPS so that the return to 

home function can work properly. Calibrating your quadcopter is especially important when flying in a new air field for 

the first time.

(1) Mode 2: Lower the throttle to the cut off position, the aileron/elevator stick to the lower right corner, connect the 

power of the model then turn on the power on the transmitter while holding the right stick to lower right 

corner position. (The flight controller has 5 seconds delay before arming, if within 5 seconds the syncing 

wasn’t successful, the flight controller would not turn on to calibrating mode.)

Mode 1: Position the elevator stick to the lowest position, then position the throttle stick to the lower right corner 

and hold, connect the power on the model and then turn the power on the transmitter on (The flight 

controller has 5 seconds delay before arming, if within 5 seconds the syncing wasn’t successful, the flight 

controller would not turn on to calibrating mode.)

When the flight controller is in calibrating mode the indicator to the left will flash red and yellow while the 

GPS indicator stays unchanged.

When calibrating, turn the quadcopter in one direction for 3 to 5 circles, then point the nose of the 

quadcopter to the ground, then turn the quadcopter in one direction for 3 to 5 circles while the nose is still 

pointing to the ground. Unplug the power source, the flight controller will automatically save the 

calibration input.

(1)Manual Mode: Set SWA to the “0” position. After the motors are unlocked, raise the throttle stick, then 

it can go forward/backward, go up/down, do left-side flying/right-side flying, turn left /right, etc. 

(2)Stable Mode: Take off the quadcopter and fly to a fixed height in Manual Mode, then set SWA to the 

“1” position, SWB on the “0” position, the quadcopter will start to hover, then set the throttle stick in the 

middle position, the quadcopter will keep in the current altitude and position.

NOTE:1.In stable Mode, the GPS signal indicator light should be steady lit, it means that the signal is 

 good.

 2.Stable is relatively stable, it can move in a certain range depending on the speed of the 

 wind and the weather, therefore you need enough space to safely fly it.

 3.In Stable Mode, the throttle stick needs to be in the middle position, it will emit a “beep, 

 beep, beep...”sound when the throttle stick is in the middle position in order for you to better 

 control it

(3)One Key to Return Home Mode: When you need the quadcopter to return back, set the SWB on the 

“0” position, the SWA on “2” position. Then the quadcopter will return back from the current position to 

the starting point automatically. If the current position is higher than 15 meters, the quadcopter will 

return back in the current altitude. If the current position is lower than 15 meters, the quadcopter will 

rise to the 15 meter height and then return back.

NOTE:1.In Return Home Mode, make sure the GPS signal indicator light remains steady lit, it means 

 that the signal is good. 

 2.It’s suggested to switch to the Stable Mode first or until the quadcopter becomes stable 

 before initiating Return to Home Mode.

 3.After returning back, the quadcopter will lock automatically; if you need to restart the motor, 

 please set the SWA to “0” position first and then unlock the motors.

(4)Flight Direction Lock Mode: While flying, set SWA on the “1” position and SWB on the “1” position first. 

The quadcopter will then fly as if the front of the quadcopter is always pointing in the same position as 

when you entered this flight mode. You can turn the quadcopter left/right, but it will always respond to 

bank left/right and forward/back inputs as if the front of the quad is still facing the initial position when 

entering this flight mode. 

NOTE:1. This mode is not appropriate for beginners, it requires more skills and experience to do so.

 2.In this mode, the quadcopter can return safely in long distance or in poor light.

(5)Altitude Sensor Mode: After taking off in the Manual Mode, to set SWB on the “1” position and SWA on 

the “2” position, then push the throttle stick to the altitude you want and to set the throttle stick to the 

middle position, the quadcopter will remain the current altitude constantly, and in the Altitude Sensor 

Mode, the quadcopter will fly in constant altitude. 

NOTE:1. In Altitude Sensor Mode, the throttle stick needs to be in the middle position, making“beep, 

 beep, beep...”sound when the throttle stick is in the middle position in order for you to better 

 control it.

 2. Constant altitude is relatively constant, it can move in a certain range depending on the 

 speed of the wind and the weather, therefore you need enough space to safely fly it.

NOTE: 1. It is suggested to use only Manual Mode, Stable Mode and One Key to Return Home Mode for the beginners, 

 it means to use the SWA switch only;

 2. It is required to take off in the Manual Mode.

(1)Low voltage protection is a protection system designed to avoid the quadcopter crashing in low battery 

voltage. When the battery voltage is between 10.4V to 10.5V, the quadcopter will activate the low 

voltage alarm and give out the “beep, beep, beep...”sound, and the front and rear indicator LED lights 

will blink at the same time.

(2)There is 1-2 minutes to fly safely after turning into low voltage protection, therefore the pilots need to 

adjust the flying distance and to prepare to return safely. 

(1)Low voltage protection is a protection system designed to avoid the signal interruption for the 

transmitter in low battery voltage.

(2)When the battery voltage is low, the transmitter will give out the “beep, beep, beep...”sound, and the 

power indicator light will blink slowly at the same time.

(3)Please change the battery in low voltage protection.
