## BatteryWarnings and Usage Guidelines WARNING: Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries are significantly more volatile than alkaline, NiCd or NiMH batteries. All instructions and warnings must be followed exactly to prevent property damage and/or serious injury as the mishandling of LiPo batteries can result in fire. By handling, charging or usingthe included LiPo battery you assume all risks associated with LiPo batteries. Ifyou do not agree with these conditions please return the complete product in new, unused condition to the place of purchase immediately.
• You must always charge the LiPo battery in a safe, well-ventilated area away from flammable materials. • Never charge the LiPo battery unattended at any time. When charging the batteryyou must always remain in constant observation to monitorthe charging process and react immediatelytoany 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/orserious 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 asafe, open area awayfrom flammable materials to observe it for at least 

### 15 minutes. Continuing to charge or discharge a batterythat has begun to balloon orswell can result in afire. A batterythat 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 damagetothe battery resulting in reduced power,flightduration 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.



### 7 • 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 hotgarage orcarthe battery can be damaged or

### even catch fire. • Never leave batteries, chargers and power supplies unattended during use. • Neverattempttocharge lowvoltage, ballooned/swollen, damaged orwet batteries. • Neverallow children under 

### 14years ofage to charge batteries. • Never charge a battery if any of the wire leads have been damaged or shorted. • Neverattemptto disassemble the battery, charger or power supply. • Neverdrop batteries, chargers or power supplies. • Always inspectthe battery, charger and powersupply before charging. • Always ensure correct polarity before connecting batteries, chargers and powersupplies. • Always disconnectthe battery aftercharging. • Always terminate all processes if the battery, charger or power supply malfunctions. 

### IMPORTANT NOTE: It's safer and betterforthe longevityofthe batteryto store it only partially charged for any length of time. Storing the battery approximately 

### 50% charged (which is around 

### 3.85V per cell) is typically best, however, itwill take some careful managementofthe charge timeand the use of a volt meter to achieve this voltage. Ifyou 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 longas the batterywill be stored atapproximately room temperature and for no more than afewweeks beforethe next use, it may be best to store the battery in the discharged state after the last flight (as long as the batterywas not over-discharged on the last flight).

## Charging The Batteries WARNING: Lithium lon (Lilon) and Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries are significantly more volatile than alkaline, NiCd or NiMH batteries. All instructions and warnings must be followed exactly to prevent property damage and/or serious injury as the mishandling of Lilon/LiPo batteries can result in fire. By handling, charging or using the included Lilon/LiPo batteries you assume all risks associated with them. If you do not agree with these conditions please return the complete product in new, unused condition tothe place of purchase immediately. CHARGING THE LIPO FLIGHT BATTERY You can powerthe SC3500-3 chargerfrom a 100-240VAC outlet usingthe AC adapter/power supply, or from a 12V DC accessory socket/cigarette lighter receptacle in a vehicle using the corresponding adapter. Once you've verified the charger is powered on and ready to charge (green blinking LED), plugthe balance connectorcharge lead intothe charger, then connect the UPo flight battery to the charge lead. The battery will begin charging (red blinking LED) and itwill take approximately2 hours to charge afully discharged (not over-discharged) battery. 

### CHARGING THE LI-ION ST10+ BATTERY You can charge the Ulan battery installed in the ST10+ from a 100-240V AC outlet using the USB adapter/charger, or from a suitable USB power source (2.0 amps max), with the USB to micro USB cable. While the ST10+ is powered off connect the cable to the USB adapter/charger, then plug it intothe USB connector/charging porton the rightside. Afterapproximately30-45 seconds the LED indicatorforthe batterywill blink blue while the battery is charging, and will glow solid blue when the battery is fully charged. It will take approximately 5.5 hours to charge a fully discharged {notover-discharged ) battery. 

### NOTE: The AC plug type will vary depending on the region in which the product was imported/purchased (AU 

## =Australian; EU 

## =European; UK 

## = United Kingdom; US = 

### United States).

## Preparing The CG03 WARNING: 

### Before installing the flight battery and powering on the TYPHOON you MUST remove the cover/lock from the rear of the CG03 bycarefully sliding it backward. Failure to remove the cover/lockcan result in damage to the TYPHOON and the CG03! QUICK TIP: 

### It's a good idea to re-install the cover/lock after each flying session and while transporting/storing the TYPHOON Oust remember to remove the cover/lock before powering on the TYPHOON and CG03!).



### Step 1) Remove the cover/lock from the rear of the CG03 by carefully sliding it backward. 

### Step2) Slide the microSD card intothecorresponding slot on the bottom of the CG03.You can use the included 16GB card orany name brand Class 10 microSD card up to 128GB. 

### Step 3) Carefully remove the protective material from the camera lens.



### 9 

## Installing The Propellers WARNING: 

### We recommend wearing gloves and using extreme care when installing the propellers/rotor blades.

Each motor and propeller are marked with an 'A' or 'B' to ensure easy installation in the correct positions (for example: install propellers marked with 'A' on motors marked with 'A'). IMPORTANT NOTE: 

### Itis NOT possible to install a propeller marked with 'A' on a motor marked with 'B'. The threads go in different directions for the 'A' and 'B' motors/propellers. 

### Step 1) Use the special tool (included) to hold the motor so itcannot spin. CAUTION: 

### Do notover-tighten the propellers when using the tool. 

### Step 2) Install the corresponding propeller by rotating ittrialing edge first until it's secure against the o-ring located at the bottom ofthe motorshaft. You may want to add this: Continue to screw down the propeller 1-1.5 turns more to ensure it is properly tighten and compressing the 0-rings slightly. 

### Step 3) Repeat steps 1 and 2 to install the three remaining propellers securely.

QUICKTIP: 1. Doubletap on the screen to increase the size ofthevideoviewing area to full-screen and double tap again to return to the standard size. 2. Single tap to hide the camera settings, tap again to display camera settings. WARNING: NEVER attemptto fly the TYPHOON via First-Person View (FPV). There's a slight 'lag' in the 

### CG03 streamingvideo downlinkto the ST10+, and as a resultthe streamingvideo/FPVshould only be used foraligningcamera shots and notforflying! Attemptingto flyvia FPV can result in acrash that will cause damage to the product, propertyand/orcause serious injury. IMPORTANT NOTE: Streaming video from the 

### CG03 to the ST10+ and to a separate phone/tablet (or another Yuneec transmitter/personal ground station) atthe same time is NOT recommended as itwill result in avery significant lag in the video downlink. 11

## ST10+Accessories You can install the included and optional-use Neck Strap to help hold and supportthe ST10+. You can also install the included and optional-use LCD Screen Sun Shade/Shield to help improve viewing in sun light.

QUICKTIP: 

### It may be helpful to apply suitable anti-glare screen protector material over the LCD screen to further improveviewing in sun light. CAUTION: 

### Do not bend, or move around in excess as the strap can come unhooked from the ST10+ and potentially fall and damage the sensitive electronic components. 

## Flight Controls NOTE: 

### The information in this and the following sections refers to the default 'Mode 2' control configuration ofthe ST10+. The left-hand stick on the ST10+ controls the throttle (climb/descend) and rudder (yaw left/right) channels

.. When the left-hand stick (also known as the throttle stick) is in the middle position during flight the TYPHOON will maintain the current altitude. As you move the stick upward the TYPHOON will climb, and as you move the stick downward the TYPHOON will descend. The farther awayfrom the middle positionyou move the stickthefastertheTYPHOON will climb or descend. 12 IMPORTANT NOTE: 

### The maximum altitude is limited to 400 feet (122 meters) AGL (Above Ground Level) in both Smart and Angle (Pilot) Mode. And although this limit can be adjusted using the USB interface/programmer and software we strongly recommend using the default limit at all times.

Maintain Altitude

Descend 

### I Land
Moving the left-hand stick to the left will turn (yaw) the nose of the TYPHOON to the left about the vertical axis. And moving the stick to the right will turn (yaw) the nose ofthe TYPHOON to the right.

### PROPORTIONAL CONTROL RATE SLIDER The Proportional Control Rate Slider located on the right side ofthe ST10+ allows you to set the overall climb/descend and directional control rates. Use the turtle position forthe lowestcontrol rates (best forfirst-time pilots and required when flying between 5000 feet and 8000 feet Above Mean Sea Level), and use the rabbit positionforthe highest control rates (best for experienced pilots and can only be used when flying below 5000feet MSL). Or use a position in between ifyou prefer.



### SELECTING A FLIGHT MODE the TYPHOON is programmed with three (3) flight modes that can be selected via the Flight Mode Selection Switch located just above the right-hand control stick.



### 13 

## Flight Controls - Smart Mode When the Flight Mode Selection Switch is the top position the TYPHOON will be in Smart Mode. Although we recommend learning to fly the TYPHOON in Angle (Pilot) Mode as soon as possible, Smart Mode is typically the best mode for first-time pilots to fly in which also features 'Follow Me' and 'Watch Me' functions. In Smart Mode the TYPHOON will always move in the direction the right-hand control stick is pushed relative to the pilot and no matterwhich way the front/nose is pointed. So if you push the stick to the left the TYPHOON will always movetothe left, regardless ofthedirectionthe nose is pointing and even if it's spinning. This mode can also be helpful for pilots that lose orientation while flying in Angle (Pilot) Mode.

NOTE: Once theTYPHOON is above 2m and outofSmart Circle during flying, the TYPHOON yaw direction will take the control itself. Camera lens will always pointtoyou as longas Flight Mode Selection Switch is in Smart Mode. Please putthe CG03 Pitch Angle/Position Control Slider in the middle position. If you want to trim the camera angle up, then just movethe Pitch Angle/Position Control Slidera bit up. Ifyou wanttotrim the camera angle down,just move the slider down.

### Additional Smart Mode Features: *SMART CIRCLE In most cases the Smart Circle will keep the TYPHOON from comingwithin approximately 26 feet (8 meters) ofyou (as long as you position yourself at least 26 feet/8 meters behind theTYPHOON. 

### GEO-FENCE Thegeo-fence is avirtual 'barrier'thatwill keep theTYPHOON from traveling further than 300 feet (91 meters). Although this limit can be adjusted usingthe USB interface/programmerand softwarewe strongly recommend using the default limitatall times. 

### WARNING: Smart Mode only works when the TYPHOON has asuitable GPS signal/lock. Ifyou take off in Smart Mode and the TYPHOON loses GPS signal/lock it will switch to Angle (Pilot) Mode automatically. This is whywe strongly recommend learningto fly in Angle (Pilot) Mode as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you lose GPS signal/lock and are not able to properly control the TYPHOON in Angle (Pilot) Mode the aircraft may crash or even 'flyaway'. IMPORTANT NOTE: Crash damage and 'flyaways' are NOTcovered under warranty.



### 16 

## Flight Controls - Angle (Pilot) Mode When the Flight Mode Selection Switch is the middle position the TYPHOON will be in Angle (also known as Pilot) Mode. Angle (Pilot) Mode is the mode preferred by experienced RC/drone pilots because the TYPHOON will move in the direction the control stick is pushed relative to the front/nose of the aircraft. So if you push the right-hand stick to the left the TYPHOON will bank toward the left side and move to the left. This means if the front/nose of the TYPHOON is pointing awayfrom you itwill movetothe left, but if the front/nose is pointing at you the TYPHOON will move to the right. 

### Additional Angle (Pilot) Mode Features: POSITION HOLD AND SELF-LEVELING the TYPHOON will automatically hold its position (with a suitable GPS signal/lock) and maintain a level attitude when the right-hand stick is centered. 

### WARNING: Ifyou do not properly control the TYPHOON in Angle (Pilot) Mode the aircraft may crash or even 'flyaway'. 

### IMPORTANT NOTE: Crash damage and 'flyaways' are NOT covered under warranty.

## Flight Controls - Home Mode When the Flight Mode Selection Switch is in the bottom position the TYPHOON will be in Home (also known as Return to Home) Mode.

### In Home Modethe GPS connectivitywill fly backthe TYPHOON,and automatically land within 13-26 ft (4-8m) of the pilot. This can be very helpful for first-time pilots who aren't quite ready to land the TYPHOON themselves. It can also be helpful for pilots that lose orientation during flight; simply activate Home Mode until the TYPHOON automatically moves toward the home position, and once you've confirmed orientation switch back to Angle (Pilot) Mode. And if the TYPHOON ever loses the link with the ST10+ it will automatically enter Home Mode. 

### When Home Mode is activated the TYPHOONwill respond as follows:



### 17 A) Whenflying higherthan 33 feet (10 meters)theTYPHOON will maintain the current altitude,flybacktothe home point, ,oractive home point ifthe ST10+ has enough satellites for Follow Me, then descend vertically until itlands.



# ----------~~ ! 10m 

# •
B) When flying lowerthan 33 feet (10 meters) the TYPHOON will climb to 33 feet (10 meters) while flying back to the home point, or active home position, then descend vertically until it lands.



# -----+~r- _____ I

10m I 

# . 

# •CAUTION: 

### You must be certain there are no obstacles in the 'Return to Home' flight path otherwise the TYPHOON may come into contact with them and crash. And while theTYPHOON is in Home Mode you will have a limited amount of directional control to help avoid obstacles, however, we strongly recommend switching to Smart or Angle Mode to avoid the obstacle (then you can switch back to Home Mode). WARNING: 

### Home Mode only works when the TYPHOON has a suitable GPS signal/lock. If the TYPHOON 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, ifyou lose GPS signal/lock and are notable to properly control the TYPHOON in Angle (Pilot) Modethe aircraft may crash or even 'fly away'.

## GPS Functionality the TYPHOON requires a suitable GPS signal/lock in order to start the motors and to be flown. This means itshould only be operated outdoors in open areas that are free from people, vehicles and other obstructions. And in ordertoacquireasuitable GPS signal/lock it's critical thatthe GPS antenna installed in thetop oftheTYPHOON always have aclearview ofthe sky 

### (100° minimum clearance required). WARNING: 

### Do NOT attempt to fly near or between tall buildings/obstructions, near or under dense vegetation, structures or indoors. Do NOT attempt to fly the TYPHOON with GPS enabled indoors or in any location known to have poor GPS coverage. And do NOT disable/turn off GPS unless you're able to properly control the TYPHOON in Angle (Pilot) ModewithoutGPS assistance and acceptALL responsibility and liabilityfor crashes or 'flyaways'. Ifthe TYPHOON loses GPS signal/lock while flying itcan only be flown in Angle (Pilot) Mode. Smart Mode and Home Mode, along with their corresponding features, will no longer work. And the Main LED Status Indicatorwill flash purple and the LED Status Indicators below the motors will flash three (3) times per second then will stay off for one (1) second when the TYPHOON loses GPS signal/lock (or if GPS has been disabled/turned off). If the GPS signal/lock is reacquired (after receiving 

### 5-10 seconds of suitable GPS signal), Smart Mode and Home Mode will work again. WARNING: 

### Loss of GPS signal/lock may result in a crash or even a 'fly away'.IMPORTANTNOTE: 

### Crash damage and 'flyaways' are NOTcovered under warranty. NO·FL Y ZONES 

### With a suitable GPS signal/lock itwill not be possible to start the motors, takeoff or fly the TYPHOON in the 'No-Fly Zones' within a 4 mile (6.4 kilometer) radius of most major airports. 

## Preparing to 

# Fly WARNING: 

### Before flying you MUST review and understand all of the NOTICES AND WARNINGS and the GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS found near the beginning of this instruction manual. Failure to operate this product in a safe and responsible manner could result in damage to the product, propertyand/orcause serious injury. WARNING: 

### Always operate the TYPHOON in open areas (approximately 

### 10000 square feet/930 square meters or more) that are free from people, vehicles, trees and other obstructions. Never fly near or above crowds, airports or buildings. Never attempt to operate the TYPHOON nearby tall buildings/ob· structions that do not offer a clear view ofthe sky (a minimum clearance of 

### 100°). After selecting asuitable flying area, please followthese steps: Step 1) ALWAYS turn the ST10+ on and allow itto boot up fully BEFORE turningthe TYPHOON on. 22 IMPORTANT NOTE: 

### If you're a first-time pilot we strongly recommend puttingthe Flight ModeSelection Switch (locatedjustabovethe right-hand control stick) in the top position to activate Smart Mode. Or, ifyou're an experienced RC/drone pilot we strongly recommend putting the switch in the middle position to activateAngle (Pilot) Mode. 

### Step 2) Place the TYPHOON on a level and stable surface then slide the power switch to the 'ON' position. DO NOT TOUCH OR MOVE THE TYPHOON UNTIL THE INITIALIZATION PROCESS IS COMPLETE. 

### The Main LED Status Indicator on the bottom ofthe TYPHOON will show one ofthe following indications when initialization is complete:

### second) • the TYPHOON is in Angle (Pilot) Mode with GPS lock Glows solid purple • the TYPHOON is in Angle (Pilot) Mode without GPS lock Flashes purple (3 times per second) then off (for 1 

### second) 

### Step 3) Ifyou do not have a GPS lock move the TYPHOON to a different area, turn it off, then back on again. Or, ifyou have a GPS lock, proceed to 

### Step 5) Step back approximately 26 feet (8 meters) behind theTYPHOON.

### Step 6) Press and hold the red START/STOP button for approximately three (3) seconds to start the motors. Or you can lower the left-hand stick all the way, move itall thewaytothe left,then all thewayto the right and back to the middle to startthe motors. 

## Flying TAKEOFF
WARNING: 

### Do notattemptto operate the TYPHOON in windsthatexceed 8-12 miles per hour(13-19 kilometers per hour).

To takeoff, raise the left-hand stick to above the center position. the TYPHOON will takeoff and climb slowly (or raise the stick further until it does). Allowthe stick to return tothe center position when theTYPHOON reaches the desired altitude. FLYING 

### Take your time learning how the TYPHOON responds to various control inputs while flying. In Smart ModetheTYPHOON 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 TYPHOON will move in the direction the control stick is pushed relative to thefront/nose oftheaircraft (and the 'angle' ofmovement is determined by howfaryou push the stick awayfrom the center position). Please see the
23 corresponding sections ofthis instruction manual for more information on Smart Mode and Angle (Pilot) Mode. IMPORTANT NOTE: 

### If at any time during flight you feel like the TYPHOON is drifting out of/beyond your control, simply release both control sticks. the TYPHOON will automatically self-level and will even hold its position (with a suitable GPS signal/lock) when both control sticks are centered. You can also activate Home Mode so the TYPHOON automaticallyflies itself back to the home pointand lands. LANDING 

### There are two ways to land the TYPHOON: 1) 

### Position the TYPHOON above the area where you would like to land. Slowly lower the left-hand stick to below the center position. the TYPHOON will descend slowly and land. Afterthe TYPHOON lands, press and hold the red START /STOP buttonforapproximatelytwo (2) seconds to stop the motors. 2)

### Activate Home Modeand theTYPHOON will automatically flyitself back to the home point and will land within a 10foot (3 meter) diameter circle around it. NOTE:

### An alternateform toshutthe rotors offin the case ofabuttonfailure is to land the TYPHOON and simplyswitch into Home Mode. The rotors will shut off iftheTYPHOON is on the ground. WARNING:

### Always land as soon as possible afterthe first level lowvoltage battery warning, or land immediately after the second level low voltage battery warning (as indicated by the vibrations and audible alerts from the ST10+, and bythe LED Status Indicators belowthe Motorsflashing rapidly). If at any time the Aircraft Battery Voltage shown on the screen is below 10.7V, land theTYPHOON immediately.AFTER LANDING 

### ALWAYS turn off the TYPHOON BEFORE turning off the ST10+. Then removethe batteryfrom theTYPHOON and allow ittocool toambient/room temperature before recharging. WARNING: 

### Do NOT leave the ST10+ and the TYPHOON powered on and do NOT leave the flight battery installed inside the TYPHOON as doing so can over-discharge and damage the batteries. Over-discharging can cause damage to the batteries resulting in reduced performance or failure of the batteries entirely. IMPORTANT NOTE: 

### Battery damage, crash damage and 'fly aways' are NOTcovered under warranty. 

## Disabling GPS WARNING: 

### Smart Mode and Home Mode, along with their corresponding features, only work when GPS is active and the TYPHOON has a suitable GPS signal/lock. If you disable/turn off GPS the TYPHOON can only be flown in Angle (Pilot) Mode. And if you cannot properly control the TYPHOON in Angle (Pilot) Modethe aircraft may crash oreven 'flyaway'. IMPORTANT NOTE: 

### Crash damage and 'flyaways' are NOTcovered under warranty. We do nottypically recommend disabling GPS forany reason, especially if you're a first-time or low-time pilot. However, if you're an experienced pilot that's able to properly control the TYPHOON in Angle (Pilot) Mode, and you do not exceed any altitude/distance limits or fly in any 'no fly zones' in your area, you can disable/turn offGPS. Do NOTdisable/turn off GPS unless you accept ALL responsibility and liability for crashes or 'fly a ways'.


### 24 IMPORTANT NOTE: 

### Every time you turn theTYPHOON on itwill default to having GPS active/on (even if you disabled GPS the last time is was powered on). There aretwoways todisable the GPS: When theCG03and ST10+, the multi-copter and ST10+ are bound, press -1) on ST10+ interface, GPS switch can be found, and turned off.
GPS can also be disabled manually: **~** GPS

• c..tlbrnllon 

### Step 1) While the ST10+ and the TYPHOON are powered on and linked (and the motors are NOT running), move the Proportional Control Rate Slider on the right side ofthe ST10+ to the uppermost (rabbit) position. Step 2) Move the right-hand stick all the way to the right and hold itthere until step 3 is completed. Step 3) Move the Flight Mode Selection Switch from Smart to Home and Home to Smart mode 4 times in 3 seconds. When GPS has been disabled successfully the TYPHOON will emit an audible indication and the GPS status on the ST10+ screen will show 'Disabled'. Also, the Main LED Status Indicator will flash purple and the LED Status Indicators below the Motors will flash three (3) times per second then will stay offfor one (1) second. 

## Graphical User Interface (GUI) You can download the graphical user interface (GUI) software on the TYPHOON product page at www.Yuneec.com. Follow the on-screen instructionsto install and operate the software which allows you to see the status ofall sensors, toadjustvarious settings, check GPS accuracy, update firmware and more usingthe included USB Interface/Programmer.

## Compass Calibration

Step 1) Do notcalibrate the compass inside parking structures, near buildings or surfaces with metal in them (like roads parking lots with rebar). Onlycalibrate the compass in open areas/fields far away from power lines and other metallic or concrete surfaces/structures.

Step 5) When the main LED status indicator flashes red and green slowly (2 times per second) you have entered compass calibration mode. Pick up the aircraft and hold it flat with the nose pointed to the north. After 5 seconds the main LED status indicator should flash red and green rapidly (5 times per second). Step2) Turn on the transmitter and allow it to boot up fully before turning on the aircraft. And when the transmitter and aircraft are powered on and linked proceed to the nextstep.

Step 6) Slowly rotate the aircraft 360 degrees toward the north (as illustrated) until it's flat and upright in your hands again.
