### SWITCHING THE MODE
There are two modes of Pitch Follow Mode and Angle Mode. Pitch Follow Mode allows the gimbal camera to track SteadyGrip in pitch direction. The Main Status LED indicator will be solid green. In Angle Mode, the camera lens sticks to a fixed direction instead of following the movement of the SteadyGrip. The user can control the Pitch Direction through pitch control roller wheel. **NOTICE** : T he default mode of SteadyGrip is Pitch Follow Mode.
**To Enter Angle Mode:** Press the Mode Switch Button on the top of the SteadyGrip to exit the Pitch Follow mode. The Main Status LED indicator will blink GREEN. The SteadyGrip will enter Angle Mode.

**To Enter Pitch Follow Mode:** Press Mode Switch Button again to enter Pitch Follow Mode. The Main Status LED indicator will be solid green.

**NOTE:** When SteadyGripTM is in Pitch Follow status, the gimbal camera tracks SteadyGripTM in pitch direction, and the gimbal pitch control roller wheel on SteadyGripTM is disabled. **WARNING:** procedures, which if not properly followed, create the probability of property damage, collateral damage and serious injury or create a high probability of superficial injury.
Failure to exercise care while using this product and comply with the following conditions and guidance could result in product malfunction, excessive heat, fire, property damage, and ultimately injury. Lithium lon batteries are not toys. For the purpose of the document Li-lon, Li-Po, Li-Fe, NiCd or NiMH batteries will be described as "Batteries".
**Handling and Storage:** ● Never alter, puncture or impact Batteries or related components. ● Do not directly connect the terminals with metal objects. This will short-circuit Batteries, resulting in heat and electrical discharge. ● Never store loose Batteries together, the Batteries' terminals may contact one another causing a short circuit. ● Never expose Batteries to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight. ● Always disconnect Batteries when not in use.
**Before the First Charge :**  ● Ensure batteries are not damaged, as this may cause a short circuit of fire. Charging ● Always refer to your charger's manual to ensure safe operation. ● Always charge Batteries in an open area away from flammable materials, liquids and surfaces. ● Never charge Batteries that are hot to the touch (above 120°F) If at any time Batteries become damaged, hot, or begin to balloon or swell, discontinue charging (or discharging) immediately. Quickly and safely disconnect the charger. Then place the Batteries and/or charger in a safe, open area away from flammable materials in an approved Li-Po bag to observe. After one hour, remove the Batteries from service. DO NOT continue to handle, attempt to use, or ship the Batteries. Failure to follow these procedures can cause damage to Batteries, personal property or cause serious injury. Damaged or swollen Batteries can be unstable and very hot. DO NOT touch batteries until they have cooled. Dispose of batteries in the manner required by your city, county, state or country. Contact the appropriate Yuneec Product Support Office to speak to a service technician for more information.
In the event of fire, a Class D, dry chemical fire extinguisher must be used then batteries must be placed inside of an approved Li-Po bag.
**Additional Guidelines and Warnings:**
● In the event of a crash, always quickly and safely disconnect and remove Batteries from the model. Then follow the previously listed safety procedures. ● If the internal contents of Batteries come into contact with your skin, wash the affected area(s) with soap and water immediately.
