INSTALLING THE FLIGHT BATIERY 

A[ er the fl ighl baOery has been fully charged it's ready to be installed in the 

0500: 

IMPORTANT NOTE: Keep the 0500 level rela311e to the ground when 

installing the baOery. 

STEP 1) Push the area at the top of the baDery door to release the 

latch/lock, and then open the door. 

STEP 2) With the side of the baOery cartridge that has the 'UP arrow 

marking oriented upward, hold the handle and slide the baoery into the 

baCery compartment un.:JI you feel the connector make a posi311e connec-

·m>n. 

NOTE: If you do not install the baOery in the correct orientam:>n it will not 

be possible to make a posi11Ve connecm:>n. 

STEP 3)Ciose the baoery door by pushing the area at the top to engage the 

latch/lock. 

NOTE: If the door will not dose because it's coming into contact with the 

handle on the baOery cartridge, the baCery is not inserted far enough to 

engage the connector properly.

GPS FUNCTIONALITY 

The 0500 requires a suitable GPS signal/lock in order to start the motors 

and to be flown. This means it should only be operated outdoors in open 

areas that are free from people, vehicles and other obstrucm:>ns. And in 

order to acquire a suitable GPSsignal/lock it's cri3tal that the GPSantenna 

installed in the top of the 0500 always have a dear view of the sky (1oo• 

minimum clearance required). 

WARNING: Do NOT aOempt to fly 

near or between tall buildings/ obstrucm:>ns, near or under dense 

vegetam:>n, structures or indoors. Do 

NOT aoempt to fly the 0500 with GPS enabled indoors or in any 

locam:>n known to have poor GPS coverage. And do NOT disable/turn off 

GPS unless you're able to properly control the 0500 in Angle (Pilot) Mode 

without GPS assistance and accept ALL responsibility and liability for 

crashes or 'fly aw ays'. 

If the 0500 loses GPSsignal/lock while flying it can only be flown in Angle 

(Pilot) Mode. Snarl Mode and Home Mode, along with their corresponding 

features, will no longer work. And the Main LED Status Indicator will flash 

purple and the Below Motor LED Status Indicators will flash three (3) ·.!!1Tles 

per second then will stay off for one (1) second when the 0500 loses GPS 

signal/lock (or if GPShas been disabled/turned off). 

If the GPS signal/lock is reacquired (a[ er rece1vmg 5-10 seconds of 

suitable GPSsignal), Snarl Mode and Home Mode will work again. 

WARNING: Loss of GPS signal/lock may result in a crash or even a 'fly 

away'. 
lfviPORTANT NOTE: Crash damage and ·ny aways' are NOT covered under 

warranty
