Turning On Your Transmitter and Phantom 1
•
Always turn on your transmitter before turning on your craft. To turn on our transmitter press the
power switch to the "on" position. Make sure your throttle is all the way down and the toggle
switches are in the uppermost position before turning on your transmitter.
•
To turn on your Phantom 1, open the battery door on the front of the craft and put one LiPo
battery into the battery compartment with the power cord facing out. Attach the LiPo Battery to
the yellow lead. Do not close the battery door or attempt to fly your craft until the LED on the back
of the craft is blinking green.
•
It is important to let your Tarot gimbal warm up before use. Wait until the LED light on the gimbal
changes from a blinking yellow light to a solid blue before use.

Advanced Calibration
Make sure the settings have been properly adjusted so that the Phantom 1 can run with the best
performance possible. Place your Phantom 1 on a flat, stable surface.
•
Plug the Phantom 1 into the PC using the USB cable provided.
•
Power on the TX and then the Phantom 1.
•
Open the Naza software.
•
Go to the “tools” tab.
•
Click “advance.”
•
Make sure there is no metal anywhere around the compass.
•
Do not touch the surface that the craft on and make sure it is very still.
•
Click “advanced cali.”
•
When a box pops up that says “power down MC” ignore it, click OK, and do not touch anything.

Compass Calibration
It is important to calibrate your compass outdoors every time you fly your craft. This allows the
Phantom 1 to track its own position from multiple satellites and ensures optimal performance.
Compass calibration should be done outdoors prior to flight.
•
Set the Phantom 1 on a flat surface.
•
With the throttle down and all switches in the uppermost position power up the transmitter and
then power up the Phantom 1.
•
Wait until the Phantom 1 has full GPS lock. You will know the Phantom 1 has full GPS lock when
the LED is green and blinking.
•
Flip the flight mode switch from “GPS” to “Atti” five times in a steady motion until the lights on the
underside of the craft turn a solid, unblinking yellow.
•
Pick up the Phantom 1 (do not hold by compass).
•
Hold the Phantom 1 straight out and turn your body in a complete circle until the LED turns from
yellow to solid green.
•
Stop turning.
•
Rotate the Phantom 1 vertically so that the battery door is facing down and repeat your 360-
degree rotation until the light blinks green again.
•
Place the Phantom 1 back on the ground and look to see that there are only green blinking lights. If
not, repeat the process.
