Disabling Gps; Graphical User Interface - TYPHOON Q500 Instruction Manual

WARNING: Do NOT leave the ST10 and Q500 powered on and do NOT
leave the flight battery installed in the Q500 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
NOT covered under warranty.

DISABLING GPS

WARNING: Smart Mode and Home Mode, along with their corresponding
features, only work when GPS is active and the Q500 has a suitable GPS
signal/lock. If you disable/turn off GPS the Q500 can only be flown in
Angle (Pilot) Mode. And if you cannot properly control the Q500 in Angle
(Pilot) Mode the aircraft may crash or even 'fly away'.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Crash damage and 'fly aways' are NOT covered under
warranty.
We do not typically recommend disabling GPS for any 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 Q500 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 off GPS. And do NOT disable/turn off GPS
unless you accept ALL responsibility and liability for crashes or 'fly aways'.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Every time you turn the Q500 on it will default to
having GPS active/on (even if you disabled GPS the last time is was
powered on).
Step 1) While the ST10 and Q500 are powered on and linked (and the
motors are NOT running), move the Proportional Control Rate Slider on the
right side of the ST10 to the uppermost (rabbit) position.
Step 2) Move the right-hand stick all the way to the right and hold it there
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 Q500 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 Below Motor
LED Status Indicators will flash three (3) times per second then will stay off
for one (1) second.
GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE (GUI)
You can download the graphical user interface (GUI) software on the Q500
product page at www.Yuneec.com. Follow the on-screen instructions to
install and operate the software which allows you to see the status of all
sensors, to adjust various settings, check GPS accuracy, update firmware
and more using the included USB Interface/Programmer.
