PLEASE

 

NOTE:

  

These

 

QUICK

 

TIPS

 

are

 

NOT

 

intended

 

to

 

replace

 

the

 

content

 

included

 

in

 

the

 

instruction

 

manual.

 

Although

 

these

 

tips

 

cover

 

some

 

of

 

the

 

most

 

important

 

details

 

you

 

need

 

to

 

know

 

before

 

making

 

your

 

first

 

flight

 

we

 

strongly

 

recommend

 

reading

 

through

 

the

 

manual

 

completely

 

before

 

flying.

 

 

 
 
 

 

The

 

AA

 

batteries

 

included

 

to

 

power

 

the

 

transmitter

 

are

 

not

 

intended

 

to

 

be

 

used

 

to

 

power

 

the

 

included

 

charger

 

(to

 

charge

 

the

 

LiPo

 

flight

 

battery)

 

through

 

the

 

built

in

 

USB

 

port

 

on

 

the

 

transmitter.

 

If

 

you’d

 

like

 

to

 

power

 

the

 

included

 

charger

 

through

 

the

 

USB

 

port

 

on

 

the

 

transmitter

 

we

 

recommend

 

replacing

 

the

 

AA

 

batteries

 

with

 

Energizer®

 

MAX

 

brand

 

or

 

equivalent

 

capacity

 

(~2800mAh

 

per

 

cell)

 

alkaline/rechargeable

 

AA

 

batteries.

 

These

 

AA

 

batteries

 

can

 

deliver

 

enough

 

power

 

to

 

charge

 

a

 

fully

 

discharged

 

(not

 

over

discharged)

 

LiPo

 

flight

 

battery

 

up

 

to

 

5

7

 

times

 

before

 

they

 

need

 

to

 

be

 

replaced.

 

Also,

 

as

 

the

 

voltage

 

of

 

the

 

AA

 

batteries

 

drops

 

it

 

will

 

take

 

more

 

time

 

to

 

charge

 

the

 

LiPo

 

flight

 

battery.

 

Additional

 

options

 

include

 

connecting

 

the

 

charger

 

to

 

a

 

suitable

 

5V

 

USB

 

port

 

on

 

a

 

computer

 

or

 

other

 

device,

 

or

 

use

 

the

 

optional

 

5005PS

 

100

240V

 

AC

 

to

 

5V

 

DC

 

USB,

 

0.5

Amp

Supply

 

(AZSC5005PS).

 

 

 

 

The

 

M4LPQ

 

transmitter

 

is

 

equipped

 

with

 

a

 

‘dual

 

rate’

 

feature.

 

This

 

feature

 

allows

 

you

 

to

 

toggle

 

between

 

the

 

‘High’

 

(HI/FULL)

 

and

 

‘Low’

 

(LO/HALF)

 

control

 

rates

 

available

 

for

 

the

 

aileron

 

and

 

elevator

 

channels.

 

You

 

can

 

toggle

 

between

 

the

 

high

 

and

 

low

 

rates

 

by

 

pressing

 

the

 

dual

 

rate

 

button

 

(the

 

right

 

side

 

of

 

the

 

rocker

 

switch)

 

located

 

on

 

the

 

top

 

left

 

‘corner’

 

of

 

the

 

transmitter.

 

You

 

should

 

feel

 

a

 

‘click’

 

and

 

also

 

hear

 

an

 

audible

 

beep/tone

 

that

 

indicates

 

which

 

control

 

rate

 

mode

 

you

 

are

 

in.

 

Two

 

(2)

 

beeps/tones

 

means

 

you’ve

 

selected

 

high/’FULL’

 

rate

 

mode

 

and

 

one

 

(1)

 

beep/tone

 

means

 

you’ve

 

selected

 

low/’HALF’

 

rate

 

mode.

 

Also,

 

the

 

selected

 

rate

 

mode

 

will

 

be

 

displayed

 

as

 

‘FULL’

 

for

 

high

 

rate

 

and

 

‘HALF’

 

for

 

low

 

rate

 

on

 

the

 

LCD

 

screen.

 

The

 

low

 

rate

 

mode

 

is

 

typically

 

preferred

 

by

 

(and

 

recommended

 

best

 

for)

 

first

time,

 

low

time

 

and

 

other

 

pilots

 

interested

 

most

 

in

 

a

 

reduced

 

amount

 

of

 

control

 

authority

 

that

 

allows

 

for

 

even

 

smoother

 

and

 

more

 

easily

 

controlled

 

hovering

 

and

 

flying.

  

 
 

 
 

The

 

elevator

 

trim

 

can

 

be

 

used

 

to

 

help

 

keep

 

the

 

quadcopter

 

from

 

drifting

 

forward

 

or

 

backward

 

when

 

hovering

 

and

 

with

 

no

 

right

hand

 

stick

 

input.

 

For

 

example,

 

if

 

the

 

quadcopter

 

drifts

 

forward

 

when

 

hovering

 

add

 

backward

 

(up)

 

elevator

 

trim

 

by

 

pressing

 

the

 

right

hand

 

elevator

 

trim

 

button

 

(the

 

right

 

side

 

of

 

the

 

rocker

 

switch)

 

located

 

on

 

the

 

top

 

right

 

‘corner’

 

of

 

the

 

transmitter

 

until

 

the

 

quadcopter

 

hovers

 

as

 

level

 

as

 

possible

 

with

 

no

 

forward

 

drifting.

 

NOTE:

 

The

 

unique

 

position

 

of

 

the

 

elevator

 

trim

 

buttons

 

is

 

due

 

to

 

the

 

ergonomic

 

design

 

of

 

the

 

transmitter.

 

The

 

functions

 

of

 

these

 

buttons

 

are

 

clearly

 

noted

 

on

 

the

 

corresponding

 

label

 

and

 

it

 

will

 

not

 

typically

 

be

 

necessary

 

to

 

adjust

 

the

 

elevator

 

trim

 

position

 

after

 

it’s

 

been

 

set

 

correctly.
