# Notes

z Please contact your dealer if the “System start and self

- check LED flashes” are not correct (Red LED appears in the last four green flashes ) in the Step5

. z After the system start and self

- checking has finished, if the LED blinks Red, Yellow and Green continually, that means the IMU data is abnormal. The PHANTOM will not work, please connect to the Assistant Software and follow the tips to do operation. If it blinks red and yellow lights alternately ( ), that means the compass error is too big, it can be caus ed by the following three cases. Please connect to the Assistant Software, select the “tools” tab and follow the tips of the “IMU Calibration” to do operation.
1. There are ferromagnetic substance around; first make sure that the compass has been calibrated correctly, you can lift the aircraft up (about 1m from the ground), and stay away from the surrounding possible ferromagnetic material object, if there is no red and yello w flashing after lifting it up about 1m from the ground, then it will not affect the flight. 2. The compass module had been put near a magnet; in this situation please timely replace the compass for a new one, otherwise it will lead to some abnormal action , o r even loss of control. 3. The compass is not properly calibrated; in this situation please calibrate the compass correctly again, please see the GPS compass calibration for details.

# 7. GPS & Compass Calibration If the Compass Module is not used, you can sk ip this step.

The GPS module has a built

- in magnetic field sensor for measuring the geomagnetic field, which is not the same in different areas. The GPS module will not work unless the Compass Module has been connected. Make sure the Compass Module connec tions are correct. Please always keep the compass module away from the magnet. If this situation occurs please change the compass module before flying. Otherwise it may damage the compass module and lead the aircraft to work abnormally or even
be out of co ntrol. Calibrate the compass before the first flight or when flying in a different area. Make sure to keep away from ferromagnetic substance and other electronic equipment when calibrating or flying . If you keep having calibration failure, it might suggest that there is magnetic interference or other ferromagnetic substance, please avoid flying in this

area. If you have calibration failure or the LED blinks red and yellow lights alternately ( ), please connect to
th e Assistant Software, select the “ T ools” tab and follow the tips of the “IMU Calibration” to do operation.

1. Quickly switch the control mode switch from ATTI. Mode to GPS ATTI. Mode and back to ATTI. Mode for 6 to 10 times, The LED indicator will turn

to c onstantly yellow. 2. Rotate your aircraft around the horizontal axis (about 360 o 

## ) until the LED changes to constant green, and then go to the next step. 3. Hold your aircraft vertically and rotate it (its nose is downward) around the vertical axis (about 360 o 

## ) u ntil the LED turns off, meaning the calibration is
finished

. 4. If the calibration was successful, calibration mode will exit automatically. If the calibration has failed, the LED keeps flashing quickly Red. Switch the control
mode switch one time to cancel t he calibration, and then re

- start from step 1. GPS ATTI. Mode

# Flight Test

1. If in GPS ATTI. Mode, place the aircraft in an open space without buildings or trees. Take off the aircraft after 6 or more GPS satellites are found (Red LED blinks once or no blinking). If in ATTI. Mode, you can skip this step. 2. Place the aircraft 3 meters away from you and others, to avoid accidental injury

. 3. Start

- up

9 Switch on the transmitter first, then power on multi

- rotor! Keep the aircraft stationary until the system
start and self

- check has finished. 9 Please wait for the system to warm up gradually with the LED blinks Yellow 4 t imes quickly ( ). You should not start the motors until the blinking disappears. 9 Keep the aircraft stationary, and execute the CSC to start the motors.

9 Release the yaw, roll and pitch sticks and keep them at the neutral position, at the same time raise the throttle stick from the bottom. The motors will stop if you do not push the throttle sti ck from the bottom within 3 sec and you will need to re

- start the motors. 9 Keep raising the throttle stick until all the rotors are working, push the throttle stick to the mid position
and then take

- off your multi

- rotor gently, pay attention not to push the stick excessively. 9 Pay attention to the aircraft movement at any time, and use the sticks to adjust the aircraft's position. Keep the yaw, roll, pitch and throttle sticks at the mid position to hover the aircraft at desired height

. 

# 4. Lower the aircraft slow ly until touch down is achieved. The motors will stop automatically after 3 seconds, or you can repeat the start

- up stick command to stop the motors sooner. 

# 5. Please always power off the aircraft first, and then switch off the transmitter after landing.
FLY ING NO TES !!!

9 At the first motors start, the system will check the sensors Bias and you are asked to keep the aircraft stationary (no need of horizontal level). If you cannot start the motors and the LED blinks Green 6 times quickly ( ), it means that the sensor error is too big. Please connect the assistant software, enter the "Tools"

- > IMU calibration, carry out basic calibration. Note: after the first successful motors start, this checking will be disabled and it is n o need any more to keep the aircraft stationary during starting motors. 9 If in GPS ATTI. Mode, keep the aircraft flying in the open space without obstruction. Pay attention to the GPS satellite status indicator LED. When GPS signal has been lost for 3s (red LED blink twice or three times), system enters ATTI. Mode automatically. 9 If the battery voltage is too low for flying, the aircraft enters the first level protection with LED flash ing quickly Red
, please land ASAP. Once the aircraft enters the second leve l protection, the aircraft will drop height automatically. 9 If you want to put the PHANTOM in a car, please keep it away from the speaker, since the compass module may be magnetized. 9 DO NOT fly near to ferromagnetic substances, to avoid strong magnetic int erference with the GPS. 9 It is recommended to land the aircraft slowly, to prevent the aircraft from damage when landing. 9 If the Transmitter indicates low

- battery alert , please land ASAP. In this condition the Transmitter may cause the aircraft to go out of control or even crash.

- Voltage Alert

Low

- V oltage Alert is to indicate that the battery cannot prov ide enough power for the aircraft, in order to warn you to land the aircraft ASAP. There are both first level and second level protections. It is not for fun, you should land your aircraft ASAP to prevent your aircraft from crashing or other harmful conseq uences!!!
In ATTI. Mode & GPS ATTI. Mode.
9 The first level protection has LED warning.
9 During second level protection the aircraft will land automatically with LED warning. Meanwhile the center point of throttle stick will move up slowly to 90% of endpoint, you should land ASAP to prevent your aircraft from crashing! When the center point is at 90% of endpoint, aircraft will still ascend slowly if you continue to pull the throttle stick, and the control of Pitch, Roll and Yaw are the same as before.

(1) Conf igure the FailSafe function in the assistant software

- > “Advanced”

- > “F/S” and read the instruction thoroughly and carefully. (2) Configure the Low

- Voltage Alert function in the assistant software

- > “Advanced”

- > “Voltage” and read the instruction thoroughl y and carefully.
