The Battery Charger (EFLC3010) included with your quadcopter has been

designed to safely charge the Li-Po battery.

CAUTION: All instructions and warnings must be followed exactly. 

Mishandling of Li-Po batteries can result in a fi re, personal injury and/or 

property damage.

• By handling, charging or using the included Li-Po battery, you assume all risks 

associated with lithium batteries.

• If at any time the battery begins to balloon or swell, discontinue use immediately. If charging or discharging, discontinue and disconnect. Continuing to 

use, charge or discharge a battery that is ballooning or swelling can result in 

fi re.

• Always store the battery at room temperature in a dry area for best results.

• Always transport or temporarily store the battery in a temperature range of 

40–120o F (5–49° C). Do not store battery or model in a car or direct sunlight. 

If stored in a hot car, the battery can be damaged or even catch fi re.

• Always charge batteries away from fl ammable materials.

• Always inspect the battery before charging

• Always disconnect the battery after charging, and let the charger cool between 

charges.

• Always constantly monitor the temperature of the battery pack while charging.

• ONLY USE A CHARGER SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO CHARGE LI-PO BATTERIES. Failure to charge the battery with a compatible charger may cause a fi re 

resulting in personal injury and/or property damage.

• Never discharge Li-Po cells to below 3V under load.

• Never cover warning labels with hook and loop strips.

• Never leave charging batteries unattended.

• Never charge batteries outside recommended levels.

• Never charge damaged batteries.

• Never attempt to dismantle or alter the charger.

• Never allow minors to charge battery packs.

• Never charge batteries in extremely hot or cold places

(recommended between 40–120° F) or (5–49° C) or place in direct sunlight.

Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)

Low voltage cutoff (LVC) protects the Li-Po battery from over-discharge in fl ight 

and activates when the battery reaches a preset value. When the battery is 

discharged to the cutoff point, the aircraft will display rapidly fl ashing red, green 

and blue LEDs to warn you it’s time to land. When you see this LED code, land 

immediately to prevent over-discharge and damage to the battery.

When the LVC is activated, you have approximately 2 minutes until the battery is 

depleted and can no longer maintain a hover. Repeated fl ying to LVC will damage 

the battery.

NOTICE: Crash damage and battery damage are not covered under warranty. 

IMPORTANT: Always disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the aircraft 

after each fl ight. Charge your Li-Po battery to about half capacity before storage. 

During storage, make sure the battery charge does not fall below 3V per cell. 

A connected battery will result in trickle discharge.
5 EN

The Battery Charging Process

1. Charge only batteries that are cool to the touch and are not damaged. Look at the battery to make sure it is not damaged e.g., swollen, bent, broken or punctured.

2. Attach the input cord of the charger to an appropriate power supply, such as a 12V battery or 12V DC power supply.

3. When the Li-Po charger has been correctly powered up, there will be an approximate 3-second delay, then an audible “beep” and the green (ready) LED will fl ash.

4. Turn the control on the Amps selector so the arrow points to the charging rate required for the battery (the 2200mAh Li-Po battery will charge at 2.0 amps).

DO NOT change the charge rate once the battery begins charging.

5. Move the cell selector switch to 3-cell for your battery. 

6. Connect the balancing lead of the battery to the 3-cell (4 pin) charger port and press the Start button to begin battery charging.

7. The green and red LEDs may fl ash during the charging process when the charger is balancing cells. Balancing prolongs the life of the battery. 

8. When the battery is fully charged, a beep will sound for about 3 seconds and the green LED will shine continuously. Attempting to charge an over-discharged

battery will cause the charger to repeatedly fl ash and beep, indicating an error has occurred.

9. Always unplug the battery from the charger immediately upon completion of charging.

CAUTION: Overcharging a battery can cause a fi re.

NOTICE: If using a battery other than the included Li-Po battery, refer to your battery manufacturer’s instructions for charging.

IMPORTANT: Consult local laws and ordinances before installing and operating any type of photograph-capable or video recording device in this product.

Binding

• If you purchased the ready-to-fl y (RTF) model, the transmitter is bound to the model at the factory. If for any reason the model needs to be re-bound, follow the 

directions for the Bind-N-Fly® (BNF) version below.

To bind or re-bind your 350 QX to your chosen DSM2/DSMX transmitter, please follow the directions below along with the binding instructions 

included with your transmitter: ®

The Binding Process

1. With the transmitter and quadcopter powered off, connect the battery

to the 350 QX.

2. With the 350 QX on a level surface, turn on the power switch and allow 

the quadcopter to initialize.

3. Wait until the blue LED on the quadcopter fl ashes rapidly, signaling the 

quadcopter is initialized and ready to bind.

4. Ensure throttle is in the low position and throttle trim is at neutral.

5. Hold the control sticks in the desired bind position (see illustrations)

and press/pull the bind button/switch, then power on the transmitter.

6. Refer to the Flying LED Codes table to ensure the aircraft is bound 

correctly.

IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to bind with more than one bind code. 

Binding with more than one bind code will only allow the aircraft to 

bind normally.

Unless binding with a bind code, the elevator and aileron inputs (including trim) must be neutral during binding. If you are attempting a normal 

bind with any input other than neutral, the aircraft will emit a constant, 

rapid beeping sound.

Transmitter Bind Codes

Entering Bind Mode

If your 350 QX emits a constant beeping sound after binding

(Smart or Agility Mode only):

1. Ensure all trims are neutral.

2. Slowly move the elevator stick back and forth (close to center) and 

listen for the beeping to stop or hesitate. Take note of the direction 

you are moving the stick when the change of tone happens.

3. If the tone never changes with elevator movement, slowly move the 

aileron stick back and forth (close to center) and listen for the beeping to stop or hesitate. Take note of the direction you are moving the 

stick when the change of tone happens.

4. Input trim in the direction that caused the change in tone until the 

beeping stops.

In the event you cannot fi nd an input that stops the tones:

1. Apply 1 click of elevator trim in either direction and then slowly 

move the aileron stick close to center. 

2. Continue to add 1 click at a time of elevator trim, up to 5 trim steps 

off center up or down, and move the aileron stick until you fi nd the 

point that makes the tones stop.

3. Add aileron trim in the direction you moved the stick to make the 

tones stop.

Flight Modes Explained

Flight Mode 0– Smart Mode (Default)

(Solid Green Indicator LED)

Stick Relativity– While in Smart Mode, the 

path of the aircraft will always follow the control stick 

input direction relative to the SAFE Circle, regardless of 

the direction the nose of the aircraft is pointing. 

• SAFE CircleTM– In most scenarios, the quad will not 

enter the SAFE Circle. 

• Position Hold– The aircraft will hold its position 

when elevator and aileron inputs are at neutral.

• Self-Leveling– Brings the 350 QX to a level attitude 

when the elevator and aileron inputs are at neutral.

• Altitude Command– Altitude is relative to throttle 

stick position.

Flight Mode 1– Stability Mode

(Solid Blue Indicator LED)

• Self-Leveling– Brings the 350 QX to a level 

attitude when the elevator and aileron inputs are 

at neutral.

• Position Hold– The 350 QX uses GPS to hold a 

given location when this function is activated. If 

GPS is enabled and has a solid lock, the aircraft will 

hold its position when elevator or aileron inputs are 

at neutral.

• Throttle provides proportional thrust– The throttle 

responds directly to the throttle input, giving the 

pilot direct control over hovering as well as ascent 

and descent rates.

Flight Mode 2– Agility Mode

(Solid Red Indicator LED)

• Aerobatic– Capable of fl ips and rolls 

• Throttle provides proportional thrust– The throttle 

responds directly to the throttle input, giving the 

pilot direct control over hovering and ascent and 

descent rates.

Stability and Agility Mode Control Inputs

The Blade 350 QX fl ies very differently in the different fl ight modes. Beginners should 

use Smart Mode to start and progress slowly into Stability Mode. When fl ying in 

Smart Mode, the quadcopter follows stick input based on the set pilot location. When 

fl ying in Stability Mode, the quadcopter follows stick inputs based on the orientation 

of the aircraft. The transition from Smart Mode to Stability Mode can be a challenge 

for new fl yers because the pilot will need to learn how to interpret the aircraft’s 

orientation.

This aircraft is extremely sensitive to control inputs in Agility Mode and has NO self 

leveling. We recommend you fl y at low rate settings for the fi rst few fl ights until you 

are familiar with its response. For pilots new to quadcopters and helicopters, familiarize yourself with the Blade 350 QX in Smart Mode and at low rate. 

As you become more familiar with the quadcopter’s response, adjust the rates and 

expo to suit your fl ying style (if using a computer radio).

GPS Functionality of the 350 QX

Flight Guidelines and Warnings

To acquire a reliable GPS signal, it is important the 350 QX has a clear view of 

the sky. Obstructions that can affect the aircraft’s ability to acquire an acceptable 

signal include:

• Flying close to or around tall/big buildings

• Flying under dense vegetation

• Flying indoors or under a structure

If you lose or cannot acquire a GPS lock and home position, the aircraft will not 

have Stick Relativity, SAFE Circle, Position Hold or Return Home functions available.

It is not possible to use Smart Mode without having GPS enabled. If the 350 QX 

is initialized without GPS enabled, it will default to Stability Mode. The aircraft 

will still be capable of altitude hold. 

If you do not have a GPS signal, try maneuvering the 350 QX by steering with 

forward elevator and rudder only.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to fl y the 350 QX with GPS enabled while 

indoors or in a location where the GPS signal is known to be poor, as 

loss of signal could result in a crash.

GPS Functions

(see the binding section for turning GPS functions ON and OFF )

With GPS ON

• If the 350 QX took off with GPS lock and a home position set, when Return 

Home mode is activated the quadcopter will fl y back to the start position 

(maintaining altitude along the way), then reduce altitude to land.

• If the 350 QX should lose GPS when Return Home mode is activated, it will 

land quickly using the barometric pressure sensor to maintain the descent 

rate.

• If the 350 QX took off without GPS lock, but acquires a GPS signal in fl ight, it 

will land slowly using GPS to hold its position and barometric pressure sensor to maintain the descent rate when Return Home mode is activated.

• If the 350 QX loses GPS during landing in Return Home mode, it will increase the rate of descent and land quickly to avoid drift.

• If the 350 QX deviates too far from its intended GPS path when in Return 

Home mode, it will descend using the barometric pressure sensor to maintain the descent rate. This could happen if the fl ight control system loses its 

orientation because of aggressive fl ight in 3 axis mode.

• Once the 350 QX has landed in Return Home mode it will disarm the motors 

With GPS OFF

• If Return Home mode is activated, the 350 QX will level off and land quickly 

using the barometric pressure sensor to maintain the descent rate.

• Once the 350 QX has landed in Return Home mode it will disarm the motors.

GPS Failure

Upon GPS failure, the 350 QX will respond according to the following conditions:

Smart Mode: (rapid Green fl ashing LED)

If the 350 QX is in this mode and the GPS fails, the quad will default to 

Stability Mode. The aircraft will still use the pressure sensor to maintain

altitude and control rate of descent. If GPS is re-acquired, after 5-10 

seconds of reliable GPS signal the Smart Mode functions are returned to 

normal 

Stability Mode: (long Blue, two short Green fl ashing LED)

If the 350 QX is in this mode and the GPS fails, it will not switch to Smart 

Mode and will not enter GPS hold, but will otherwise function normally. If 

GPS is reacquired, after 5-10 seconds of reliable GPS signal the Stability 

Mode functions are returned to normal 

Agility Mode: (long Red, two short Green fl ashing LED)

If the 350 QX is in this mode and the GPS fails, it will not affect fl ight performance, but it will not be able to switch into Smart Mode. It will still be able 

to switch into Stability Mode with the limitations described above. 

Loss of Transmitter Signal

If the transmitter signal is lost for any reason, the 350 QX will respond according 

to the following conditions:

• If the motors are not turning, the 350 QX will disarm.

• If the motors are turning but the 350 QX is not fl ying, it will turn off the motors and disarm. 

• If the 350 QX is fl ying and has a good GPS lock with a home position set, 

it will activate the Return Home function upon the loss of the transmitter 

signal. 

• If the compass is not connected or faulty, or if there is no GPS lock, the 350 

QX will descend slowly upon the loss of the transmitter signal.

• If the pressure sensor is not working, the 350 QX will reduce power to initiate a controlled descent upon the loss of the transmitter signal. 

• Always keep aircraft in sight and under control.

• Always keep people and pets at least 35 feet (10 meters) away when the 

battery is connected.

• Keep children out of the vicinity of this product at all times.

• Always use fully charged batteries.

• Always keep transmitter powered on while aircraft is powered. 

• Always remove batteries before disassembly.

• Always keep moving parts clean.

• Always keep parts dry.

• Always let parts cool after use before touching.

• Always remove batteries after use.

• Always have a fi rst aid kit with you.

• Always have an appropriate fi re extinguisher with you.

• Never operate aircraft with damaged wiring.

• Never touch moving parts.

The Blade 350 QX has many more features than other Blade quadcopters. 

Please take the time to read this manual and understand the functions this 

aircraft contains before fl ying.

Preparing the 350 QX For Flight

CAUTION: When the home location is set (step 6), the 350 QX must be approximately 16 feet (5 meters) from where the pilot will stand during fl ight, pointing 

away from the pilot. If the aircraft is pointed in any other direction, the SAFE Circle feature will not function as expected and may result in personal injury or 

damage to property. Once the aircraft’s motors are started, do not change your position.

1. Power on the transmitter with the fl ight mode set to 

Smart Mode, the throttle stick down and the throttle 

trim at neutral. 

2. Install a charged battery, plug it in and close the 

hatch.

3. With the quad on a level surface, turn on the power 

switch and allow the 350 QX to initialize.

If the GPS is enabled, wait for the GPS signal to be 

acquired, which is indicated by a solid green LED. 

It may take from 30–90 seconds to acquire a GPS 

signal.

IMPORTANT: While in Smart Mode the motors will 

not start if a GPS signal has not been acquired.

4. Move the aircraft to the desired home location and 

orient the aircraft pointed away from the pilot.

5. Step back approximately 16 feet (5 meters) from the 

home location.

6. When you are prepared to fl y, quickly move the rudder stick all the way left and then all the way right. 

The props will begin to spin. The home position for 

GPS functions is set and your aircraft is ready to fl y. 

IMPORTANT: The motors will not start if the transmitter is set to low rate. The dual rate switch must be set 

to high rate.

Lower the throttle stick and the throttle trim to power 

off the props after fl ight.

Flying the 350 QX

Takeoff

Increase the throttle slightly above low stick (10–15%). 

The 350 QX altitude in Smart Mode corresponds to the 

throttle position. Low throttle is on the ground, slightly 

raising the throttle will produce a low hover, and the 

higher the throttle position, the higher the 350 QX will 

ascend until it reaches its maximum altitude (approximately 45 meters).

Explore the fl ight envelope of the 350 QX in Smart 

Mode without fear of losing orientation. See the 

diagrams in the Flight Modes Explained section for 

more details on the aircraft’s function in Smart Mode.

In Smart Mode, the direction the aircraft is pointing 

does not affect the control, and the aircraft’s response 

relative to you (the pilot location) does not change with 

orientation. Stability Mode and Agility Mode operate 

more like a conventional RC helicopter or multicopter.

IMPORTANT: Aggressive fl ight in Agility Mode will

signifi cantly reduce fl ight time.

Return Home

• When this feature is activated, the 350 QX will 

fl y back to its assigned home location and 

land. After landing, the motors may take up to 

5 seconds to disarm. If the motors take more 

than 20+ seconds to disarm, perform the 

Pressure Sensor Calibration.

• To restart the props after landing in Return Home, 

fully lower the throttle and ensure the throttle trim is 

neutral, then quickly move the rudder stick fully left 

and then fully right.

CAUTION: The 350 QX will not recognize the 

SAFE Circle feature when Return Home is 

used. Activating Return Home may cause the 350 QX 

to fl y directly over the pilot if the aircraft was fl own to 

a position behind where the pilot was standing when 

the home position was established.

TRAINER

Activating Return Home

Press and hold.

Releasing the switch

will stop the Return Home

program.

Landing

To land the 350 QX there are two options: 

• Guide the aircraft to where you wish to land and 

reduce the throttle. Reduce the throttle trim after 

landing to disarm the motors.

• Activate the Return Home function to return the 

350 QX to the assigned home location and land 

automatically.

CAUTION: Do not activate the Return Home

function if the 350 QX is showing the low

battery indication. Manually land the aircraft

immediately.

After Your Flight

1. Turn off the power switch on the 350 QX.

2. Turn off the power to your transmitter.

3. Unplug and remove the battery from the 350 QX.

CAUTION: Always disconnect the Li-Po battery from the aircraft when not fl ying to avoid 

over-discharging the battery. Batteries discharged to a 

voltage below the lowest approved voltage may become 

damaged, resulting in loss of performance and potential 

fi re when batteries are charged.

Location alert

The motors will Beep under the following conditions:

• At any time the props stop spinning after they have 

been initialized. 

• After 30 seconds of no throttle input (waiting armed 

on the ground).

This will alert the pilot to the location of the aircraft if it 

lands in a location with low visibility. 

Beeping will continue until the battery can no longer 

supply enough power to the motors.

If the quadcopter crash lands and one or more motors 

are stopped by an impact, the quadcopter enters 

emergency mode. The LED will fl ash white and the 

motors will beep loudly.

Airframe Maintenance

Replacing the body

Disassembly of the old airframe

1. Ensure the battery is disconnected from the

quadcopter. 

2. Remove the 2 machine screws from each propeller 

and remove the propellers. 

3. Remove the 32 1.5mm hex screws from the bottom 

of the frame to separate the upper and lower body 

pieces.

4. Unplug the compass sensor from the fl ight control 

board. Remove the landing gear with compass sensor and place it in a safe area away from magnets. 

NOTICE: Do not allow the compass sensor to

get near a magnet. Any magnet, including those in 

the 350 QX motors, can damage the compass and 

cause it to work incorrectly. If the 350 QX is fl own 

with a faulty compass, all GPS functions will be 

compromised. 

5. Unplug the GPS receiver from the fl ight control 

board and remove the battery tray assembly.

6. If you are replacing the GPS components, remove 

the foil from the GPS receiver and unplug the GPS 

antenna from the GPS receiver. 

7. Remove the fl ight control board from the airframe.

8. Remove the motors and ESCs from the airframe.

Before installing the components into the new airframe, 

inspect all the components for any obvious damage or 

burnt smells. Check the motors for smooth bearings 

and inspect all the propellers for chips, burrs or cracks. 

Replace any parts in question. 

Installing components in the new airframe

1. Install the motors and ESCs, making sure to match 

the wire colors on the connectors.

2. Install the fl ight control board.

3. Install the tray assembly.

4. Install the GPS receiver and GPS antenna and plug 

the cables into their corresponding sockets.

5. Assign the motors and ESCs according to the

ESC and Motor Assignment Procedure.

6. Install the landing gear and connect the compass 

to the fl ight control board. If you replaced the 

compass or believe that it may have been impaired 

by a magnetic fi eld, you will need to perform the 

compass calibration procedure. 

7. Mount the top of the airframe.

8. Install the propellers, paying attention to the

direction of rotation as indicated by the arrows 

molded in the frame and on the propellers for each

Compass Calibration Steps

Compass Calibration

Pressure Sensor Calibration

Accelerometer Calibration

The Flight Controller on the 350 QX has automatic magnetic declination calibration, so you will not have to worry about looking up the magnetic declination at 

your location and changing settings on your 350 QX to get accurate compass 

measurements. It is possible, however, that your compass may need to be calibrated if it is exposed to strong magnetic fi elds. 

Compass calibration procedure:

1. Go to an open space outdoors away from metal. Take a conventional compass with you to ensure you know the direction of north.

2. Ensure your transmitter is off and then connect a fl ight battery to the 350 

QX. Power the aircraft on. Wait fi ve seconds and then the blue LED will 

begin fl ashing rapidly, signaling the aircraft is initialized and ready to bind.

3. Once the blue light begins fl ashing, bind with yaw stick left. The 350 QX LED 

will slowly fl ash between red and green for 5 seconds. 

4. Put the 350 QX fl at in your hands and face north. After 5 seconds of slow 

fl ashing the quad will start fl ashing rapidly. The quad is now collecting data 

to be used for the calibration.

5. Slowly rotate the quad 360 degrees about the east-west axis (“fl ip” the 

aircraft either forward or backward) until it is fl at in your hands again. 

6. Continue facing north and yaw the quad 45 degrees left so the quad is now 

facing north-west.

7. Slowly rotate the quad 360 degrees about the east-west axis, (“fl ip” the 

aircraft diagonally either direction) until it is fl at in your hands again.

8. Continue facing north and yaw the quad 45 degrees left so the quad is now 

facing west. 

9. Slowly rotate the quad 360 degrees about the east-west axis (“fl ip” the 

quad sideways either direction) until it is fl at in your hands again.

10. Continue facing north and yaw the quad 45 degrees left so the quad is now 

facing south-west. 

11. Slowly rotate the quad 360 degrees about the east-west axis (“fl ip” the 

aircraft diagonally either direction) until it is fl at in your hands again.

You have 30 seconds to complete the procedure. The 350 QX should still be 

blinking rapidly when you fi nish. Hold the aircraft still until it stops blinking rapidly. If successful, the 350 QX will beep a positive confi rmation and then restart 

itself. If unsuccessful, the 350 QX displays the failed calibration code, a solid 

white LED. If the 350 QX displays this error code, power off the aircraft and then 

begin the calibration procedure again. 

The pressure sensor is calibrated at the factory on the 350 QX. Recalibration 

should only be necessary if you replace the sensor. 

1. Place the 350 QX in a cold area. Allow it to remain in the cold for 30 minutes 

or more. 

2. Bring the 350 QX out of the cold and into a warm area. The greater the difference in temperature between the cold and warm areas, the more accurate the 

calibration will be.

3. Ensure your transmitter is off and then connect a fl ight battery to the 350 QX 

and power the aircraft on. Wait fi ve seconds and then the blue LED will begin 

fl ashing rapidly, signaling the aircraft is initialized and ready to bind.

4. Once the blue light begins fl ashing, bind with yaw stick right. The 350 QX will 

blink red and blue rapidly. Leave the aircraft and transmitter powered on and 

allow the aircraft to warm up for 10 minutes. Do not move the aircraft during 

this time.

5. After 10 minutes the motors on the aircraft will beep to indicate the calibration 

is complete. Power off the aircraft and then your transmitter. 

If the 350 QX displays the failed calibration code, power off the aircraft and then 

begin the pressure calibration procedure again. 

To calibrate the accelerometer, the quadcopter needs to fl y for 20 seconds while 

being level. This allows the accelerometer readings to be averaged and stored in 

memory.

Use the following procedure to calibrate the accelerometer:

1. Power on the quadcopter with the transmitter off to enter bind mode.

2. Turn on the transmitter while holding the elevator stick back and pressing 

the bind switch.

3. Set the fl ight mode switch to Stability Mode or Smart Mode. The quadcopter 

will fl y in Stability Mode no matter which position is selected.

4. Start the motors. Fly the quadcopter off the ground. The quadcopter LED will 

fl ash slowly (red, green, blue).

5. Use trims to adjust roll/pitch so the quadcopter does not drift left/right and 

forward/back.

6. Activate the accelerometer calibration mode by changing the fl ight mode 

switch into Agility Mode. The vehicle will still fl y in Stability Mode. The LED 

will start fl ashing quickly (red, green, blue).

7. Fly steadily for 10–30 seconds. The LED will fl ash slowly when data

collection is done.

8. Land the quadcopter and stop the propellers by lowering the throttle and

throttle trim.

IMPORTANT: The calibrated values are not yet permanently stored. Do not turn 

off the quadcopter.

9. Center the trims on the transmitter. Start the motors and verify the

quadcopter fl ies without drifting.

10. Land the quadcopter and stop the motors by lowering the throttle and

throttle trim.

11. Save the calibration by moving the rudder stick quickly left, right, left, right. 

Values are saved when you hear a rapid triple tone twice.

12. Turn off the quadcopter.

13. Confi rm the calibration by powering up the quadcopter and performing a test 

fl ight. If the calibration is not correct, start the calibration procedure again.

ESC and Motor Assignment Procedure

Motor Numbers 1. Begin with the transmitter off and connect a fl ight

battery to the 350 QX.

2. Power on the quadcopter on a level surface and wait for 

the rapid blue fl ashing LED to indicate the aircraft has 

entered bind mode.

3. With the throttle stick in the full throttle position, press/

pull the bind button/switch and power on your transmitter. 

The quadcopter will acknowledge the assignment mode 

with a loud high, then low tone. If your transmitter is 

equipped with a high throttle warning at startup, it is necessary to disable this alarm prior to completing this step. 

After the replacement procedure is complete, re-activate 

the high throttle warning in your transmitter.

4. The motor number and prop direction are molded in the 

top of the body. The motors will give an audible “beep” to 

indicate which motor to calibrate. When the motors beep 

1 time, spin motor 1 by hand. The motor will respond with 

the same number of tones upon successful assignment. 

5. When the motors beep 2 times, spin motor 2 by hand.

6. When the motors beep 3 times, spin motor 3 by hand.

7. When the motors beep 4 times, spin motor 4 by hand.

When the assignment is successful, the quadcopter enters 

emergency mode. Restart the quadcopter.
