### 7 Copyright@201 5 HeliPal.com. All Rights Reserved Auto Go Home

If the drone has been started up correctly and the GPS signal is good (with 6 or more

satellites are found)

, the drone can undergo G o

- H ome features when it lost signal with

radio controller

1) If the attitude of the drone more than 20 meters, it will go home horizontally.

2) If the attitude of the drone below 20 meters, it will ascend to 20 meters and go home

horizontally.

Important

- How to take over the control again during “ Auto Go Home ”

When the drone is undergoing auto go home feature

, you can take over the control

again by performing the following procedures

.

If the transmitter is on, push the throttle stick to middle position

and then switch the G Switch Down( towards you ) and

Up( awa y from you ) and you can control the drone again.

If the transmitter is off, push throttle stick to down position, turn

on the transmitter, push throttle to middle, switch the G switch

Down ( towards you ) and Up ( away from you ) to take over the control again.

### 8 Copyright@201 5 HeliPal.com. All Rights Reserved Compass Calibration

Please follow the following procedures to calibrate the compass calibration

1) Switch the G switch up and down quickly for 6 to 10

times, The LED indicator on the drone will turn on

constantly yellow.

2) (Fig.1) Hold your Multi

- rotor horizontal and rotate it around the gravitational force line

(about 360 o ) until the LED on the drone changes to constant green, and then go to

the next step.

3) (Fig.2) Hold your Multi

- rotor vertically and rotate it (nose down & tail up) around the

gravitational force line (about 360 o ) until the LED turns off, meaning the calibration is

finished

4) If the calibration was successful, calibration mode will exit automatically.

5) If the LED keeps flashing quickly Red, the calibration has failed. Switch th e control

mode switch one time to cancel the calibration, and then re

- start from step 2.

Our TS5823 video transmi tter has up to 32 different video channels available to avoid interference with

other channels.

If two or more drones are flying at the same time, try to

select different video frequency to avoid video

interference. The bigger different in video frequency

between drones, the less interference generated.

Default Setting is channel 5665M

Lost connection with radio controller

If you’re the drone cannot response to the radio controller stick travel, the connection between radio controller and receiver may

lost and you can try to re

- bind them by following the procedure below:

Press the switch inside the receiver twice with small screwdrivers to make LED indicator turns PURPLE to set the control

mode to D Bus Mode. ( Skip this step if it is default in Purple light )

Use the small screwdrivers to press and hold the switch inside the receiver until it is flashing with light in Blue and

Purple

, Switch on the radio controller

, it will start searching for available receiver. Receiver will stop flashing while the

bind process complete and the radio controller will the signal strength on the screen

Propeller Balancer

Pr opellers are basically balance when they are manufactured from factory

. However, there

may have slightly different between each other as they are manufactured via molding

method. As less vibration would offer better video quality and control stability, a propeller

balancer is included for you to balance the propeller if necessary

.
