Page 2: Quick Start
Quick Start Guide Quick Start Before flying, verify that the remote control radio transmitter is successfully connected with the quadcopter, all basic controls are functional, and the quadcopter can be taken off normally. l Step 1: On the remote control radio transmitter, set the throttle joystick and four switches on the top to the lowest position.
Page 3 l Step 3: Move switch SA up to arm the quadcopter. The throttle joystick must be at the lowest position or the quadcopter will not arm. The motors will spin slowly. Move switch SA down to disarm the quadcopter and the motors will stop spinning. The completion of these steps verifies that the quadcopter and the remote control radio transmitter can work normally, and the following flight operations can be continued.
Page 4: Flight Operation
Flight Operation l Step 4: Re-arm quadcopter (step 3). Motors will spin at a low speed. Throttle (left) Joystick: l Up/down controls rate of ascent/ descent. l Left/Right controls counterclockwise/ clockwise rotation. Direction (right) Joystick: l Up/down controls forward/ backward. l Left/right controls left/ right.
Page 5 Before flying with goggles, it is recommended to practice and become familiar with the controls and sensitivity of the joysticks by following the above-mentioned operation steps. Caution: 1. Find a suitable open place for the first flight. 2. Push the joysticks slowly, especially the throttle joystick. 3.
