SWB(right 3-way-switch):
The SWB is the main flight-mode switch. It switches between
the “basic” 3 flight-modes as follows:
SWB in Pos. 0 (top): BALANCE-MODE
SWB in Pos. 1 (middle): ALTITUDE-MODE
SWB in Pos. 2 (low): GPS-MODE
SWA (left 3-way-switch):
This switch is used for the special functions and flight modes.
It switches the following functions:
SWA in Pos. 0 (top): NO OWN FUNCTION, flight mode se-
lected by switch SWB is active
SWA in Pos. 1 (middle): AOC-MODE (this can EITHER be
HEADLESS, CIRCLE (POI) or CRUISE, depending on your set-
tings, see chapter “Software”)
SWA in Pos. 2 (low): Return-to-Home (RTH) , see chapter
„Landing your Gravit“
PLEASE NOTE:
AS SOON AS the SWA switch is flicked to any
other position than Pos. 0 (top), that is Pos. 1 or Pos. 2 (middle
or low position), IT OVERRIDES the function of SWB. Or in
other words: NO MATTER which position your SWB-switch is,
as soon as you move the SWA-switch to either to Pos.1 OR to
Pos. 2, those functions of the SWA will be active and cancel
the current function of SWB.
For example: Let’s say you have flicked SWB to Pos. 1, using
ALTITUDE-MODE. As soon as you flick SWA to Pos. 2, the
Gravit will cancel to fly in ALTITUDE-MODE and initiate Return-
to-Home as selected by SWA.
For a better understanding, here is a small table which show
the DEFAULT switch-combinations of SWA and SWB and the
resulting flightmode or function:
SWA Pos.

Those switch assignments may be changed using the soft-
ware (for details check chapter “Software”).
For a detailed description of the different flight modes, please
see chapter “The flight-modes”.
Charge your flight battery
Before the first operation, please charge your flight battery. To
do so, connect the power-cord with your charger and a power
socket and then connect the balancer-connector of your flight
battery to the charger. Watch out for correct polarity when
doing so.
When the battery is connected to the charger, the charging
process is indicated by red LEDs. Please wait until ALL 3 LEDs
of the charger have turned to green color! Only then has the
LiPo been fully charged and you can disconnect it from the
charger. Please note: The charger equalizes and balances the
different cells of your battery during the charging process.
This kind of behaviour ensures the gentlest charging process
possible and dramatically increases your battery’s life-span.
However, charging a battery like this is relatively slow and
takes around 3-5 hours. So please don’t be worried if the char-
ging process is not completed as quickly as expected. Your
battery will thank it to you!
Insert batteries into your transmitter
Please insert 4xAA batteries into your transmitter. Open the
battery compartment on the back of the transmitter by sliding
down the cover, insert the 4 batteries then close the cover
again.
