• Lift the model horizontally off the ground and turn it counter-clockwise three times around its own axis (see Figure
9, no. A).
Immediately afterwards, hold the quadcopter upright (see Figure 9, no. B; with the camera facing upwards) and turn
the model counter-clockwise three times around its own axis.
Then place the quadcopter on a flat surface again.

• If the LEDs on the model flash at a slow rate in a few more seconds, the calibration has been successful.
•
Now wait until the quadcopter LEDs glow steadily. This can take from 30 to 40 seconds. If the LEDs glow steadily,
the model has successfully received a GPS signal. The quadcopter is now paired with the transmitter, the gyro sen-
sors are readjusted, the compass is calibrated, the GPS signal is received and the model is ready to start.
•
Start the rotors by simultaneously pushing the hand-held transmit-
ter’s left control lever down to the left and right control lever down to
the right (see Figure 10).
•
Then press the "Auto start/landing" button (Figure 4, no. 11). The
quadcopter will take off and hover in front of you at an altitude of
approx. one metre.
•
Now push the left control lever on the transmitter forward (Figure 4,
no. 6). This increases the motor speed and causes the quadcopter
to ascend.
When you pull the control lever backwards, the quadcopter de-
scends.
If you leave the control lever in the middle position, the quadcopter will try to maintain the altitude using the built-in
sensors and GPS.
•
To land the quadcopter, slowly pull the control lever back until the quadcopter descends to the ground. A somewhat
hard landing on the ground is not a problem and should not be corrected with jerky throttle movements.
•
Alternatively, you can steer the model to the imaginary landing point and initiate an automatic landing by pressing
the "Auto start/landing" button (Figure 4, no. 11). The model descends automatically to the ground and then turns
off the rotors.
