Reely Pocket Drone FPV, Operating Instructions Manual

g)  Headless mode

In headless mode, the quadcopter always moves in the direction of the remote control levers, regardless of its orienta-

tion. For example, when you move the control lever to the right, the quadcopter will always move to the right (regard-

less of which direction the quadcopter is facing). In this mode, you can move the right-hand control pad (pitch and roll) 

in the direction in which you wish the quadcopter to travel. 

 Important!

The remote control and quadcopter must be aligned when headless mode is enabled. Headless mode can 

therefore only be enabled when the quadcopter is on the ground. The quadcopter should be aligned so that 

the (red) LEDs are facing backwards. 

If you fail to observe these instructions, the quadcopter may not respond as expected and may travel in a 

different direction.

  Headless mode is controlled using relatively simple technology (without a compass or GPS). As a result, it 

is normal for the quadcopter to deviate from the desired direction of travel.

When the quadcopter is not in headless mode, you need to consider the orientation of the quadcopter (e.g. when the 

quadcopter is travelling towards you and you move the lever to the left, the quadcopter moves to the right). In head-

less mode, you do not need to consider the orientation. This makes the quadcopter easier to control for beginners. 

However, if you wish to learn how to fly a quadcopter in the standard configuration, you should avoid using headless 

mode and learn how to fly the quadcopter in the standard mode.

To enable headless mode, pair the remote control with the quadcopter (prepare the quadcopter for take-off). The ro-

tors are still off when headless mode is enabled for the first time. Align the quadcopter on the ground so that the red 

LEDs face the remote control. 

Press the headless button (figure 4, position 11) until you hear a long beep. The LEDs on the quadcopter will flash 

rapidly to indicate that headless mode is enabled. 
Start the quadcopter. When headless mode is enabled, the quadcopter will always move in the direction of the right-

hand lever (regardless of the quadcopter's orientation). For example, when you move the control pad forwards, the 

quadcopter will always move away from you. When you move the  control pad to the right, the quadcopter will always 

move to the right.

To disable headless mode, press the headless mode button (figure 4, position 11) until you hear a short beep. The 

LEDs on the quadcopter will stop flashing to indicate that headless mode is disabled.
