If using a receiver, attach it under the bottom board of the center frame with the end of the antenna facing downwards and away from obstructions to avoid signal loss. 4. Ensure frame arms are mounted correctly. a) Motor mounts with CCW marks should be mounted to the center frame positions with the following marks: M1, M3, M5 and M7. b) Motor mounts with CW marks should be mounted to the center frame positions with the following marks: M2, M4, M6 and M8. 5. Do not remove any glued-in screws. 6. Screws that already have blue glue can be used once without thread locker. On other occasions, apply BQQSPQSJBUFUISFBEMPDLFSmSTU 7. The S1000+ should be lifted off the ground when testing landing gear or recalibrating servo travel.

Instructions 1. Prepare the arms. (1) Check all propellers for cracks, then install and screw each propeller cover on tightly.  &OTVSFBMMNPUPSTBSFNPVOUFEmSNMZBOESPUBUFGSFFMZ (3) Mount all arms with red propeller covers to M1 and M2 to indicate the nose of the S1000+. (4) Identify the CW and CCW marks on the arms. Mount the arms with the CCW mark to the M1, M3, M5 and M7 positions of the center frame. The arms with the CW mark should be mounted to the M2, M4, M6 and M8 positions of the center frame.

2. Insert each frame arm vertically into the mounting area on the center frame. 3. Line up the screw holes of the frame arm and center frame.  *OTFSUUIF.YTDSFXGSPNUIFSJHIUPGUIFGSBNF arm (the thread is located on the left of the screw mount). Tighten each screw correctly.

# Connecting XT60 Ports on the Center Frame

The bottom board is a power distribution board with three XT60 connectors for battery power. 

### Instructions  $POOFDUUIF1.6QPXFSDBCMFUPUIF95DPOOFDUPSPOUPQPGUIF CPUUPNCPBSE 2. Connect the landing gear control board cable to the XT60 connector on the bottom of the bottom board. 3. Other connectors can supply power for other DJI devices, as required.



# Installing Battery
Soldering battery connectors AS150 spark-proof connectors are used. They must be soldered to your battery power cables. 1. Remove the original battery connectors. Avoid cutting the power and ground cables at the same time, as this can cause a short circuit. We recommend wrapping unsoldered cables with insulating tape to prevent accidental connections. 2. Pass the black ground wire through the black housing. After passing the wire through, solder the female bullet connector to the ground wire. Wait for the soldered connection to cool, then pull the housing back over the bullet connector. 3. Screw and pass the red power wire through the red housing. After passing the wire through, solder the male bullet connector to the power wire. Wait for the soldered connection to cool, and then screw and pull the housing back over the bullet connector.
