Descending

When ascending or descending,

push the control lever forwards;

the rotating speed of the main

rotor will increase and the

helicopter will ascend.

When the throttle stick is pulled

backwards the helicopter will

descend as the rotating speed

of the main rotor will reduce.

When ying, pushing the left/

right control lever to the left will

cause the nose of the helicopter

to turn left.

During ight, when pushing the

control lever forwards, the nose

of the helicopter will move

downward and the helicopter

will travel forwards.

During ight, when pulling the

control lever backwards, the

nose of the helicopter will rise

and the helicopter will travel

backwards.

When ying, pushing the left/

right control lever to the right will

8. OPERTATION

Place the helicopter carefully on the ground, turn the power switch

ON and ensure that the onboard LED is ashing. Stand behind the

helicopter with the helicopter’s tail pointing towards you. Ensure

the transmitter’s throttle is closed and then turn the transmitter ON.

When the transmitter’s LED illuminates, you are ready for take off!

CAUTION

7. PREPARATION BEFORE FLYING

If the transmitter light

continues to ash, it means

that the transmitter batteries

are running out of power

and consequently will need

replacing before ying.

Please be sure to carry out the initial binding of the helicopter to the transmitter by following the steps

below

1. Firstly, please switch OFF the power to the helicopter and transmitter.

2. Place the helicopter on a at surface and switch it ON. The LED on the helicopter’s receiver will

illuminate indicating that it is trying to nd a transmitter to bind with.

3. Ensure the throttle on the transmitter is in its lowest position (stick pulled back) and then switch

ON the transmitter. An LED light will indicate the transmitter is ON. A buzzer will send out a ‘‘di di”

sound to show that a bind is in progress. When this process (which is automatic) is complete, the

sound will stop. DO NOT switch off either the helicopter or transmitter, as this will lose the binding

process and you will need to begin again.

4. The helicopter is now ready for use, assuming it has not been turned OFF after this process.

(Simply repeat the steps each time the helicopter is switched ON).

5. When using multiple helicopters at the same time, ensure each one is bound in turn, but DO NOT

switch any OFF.

10. BINDING THE TRANSMITTER TO THE HELICOPTER

complete the necessary steps

required to bind the helicopter as

outlined on the previous page.

By pressing the photograph button, the camera will

receive a transmitted signal indicated by the LED

ashing and take a photograph.

If the photograph button is pressed for more than 1.5

seconds, the LED will glow signifying the activation of

VIDEO mode.

Pressing the photograph button again whilst recording

will FINISH the recording.

12. INDEPENDENT USE OF THE DIGITAL CAMERA

Flick the power switch to the “ON” position. The camera LED will ash 3

times and then stop. This means that the camera is ready and in ‘Standby

Mode’. You are now able to press the shutter button and take a picture.

Pressing this button will cause the LED to ash once, indicating a picture

has been taken. If you hold down the shutter button for more than 1.5

seconds, the video mode will be activated and a video will start recording.

During the course of recording, if you press the shutter button once more,

the video will stop recording. Should you need to change the date or time,

please modify the ‘Time’ text document located in the root directory of the

Micro SD card and edit it such that the current date and time are correct.

Please remember that only when the text le is saved will the date/time be

updated before restarting the camera.

13. READING THE AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHY DATA & CHARGING

Disconnect the included USB cable from the helicopter and connect

to a standard USB port on a PC. In a moment you can nd the new

“removable disc” in the “My Computer” directory. Double click it to

read the data inside the aerial camera. Please copy the aerial

photography data from the disk to the computer and then browse to

it. When the data has nished copying, please do not remove it from

the USB port immediately as the USB port also charges the camera.

When charging is underway, the LED indicator on the camera will

ash and then glow solidly when the camera is fully charged.

Should you be unable to receive any real-time video, please consult the following list

1) Check if the 2.5mm video transmitter plug has been inserted into the AV output jack on the aerial

camera.

2) Check if the red LED on the transmitter is ON or not. If it is not ON, it means the plug is not

connected correctly in the AV port. Unplug and then re-connect. Should the problem not be

solved by this, then the aerial camera could have insufcient power, in which case it will need

charging.

3) Check if the transmitting frequency on the video transmitter is the same as the receiving requency.

4) If unable to receive any images, this may be due to the DIP switch having been set

incorrectly.

14. REAL TIME AUDIO & VIDEO DURING FLIGHT

1 2

Fix the video transmitter on the tail boom and

then insert the 2.5mm plug into the AV output jack

of the aerial camera. Switch on the camera. This

time the red LED on the video transmitter will be

ON, meaning it has started working.

Push up and down the DIP switch on the

transmitter to set the frequency. For this

helicopter, there are four transmitting requencies

available. Set the DIP switch as shown in the

illustration.

The DIP switches on the back of the transmitter

are for setting the receiving frequency. Ensure

you match the receiving and transmitting

frequencies. If the transmitter is set to Channel

A, then so too must the receiver.

LCD Power

Switch

Switch ON the

transmitter’s power

switch. If the

transmitting frequency

is the same as the

receiving fequency the

screen will show a real-time image. Please

press the ON/OFF button to switch OFF the

display screen in order to save power when

you do not wish to have any live video image

shown.
