WARNING:
Remove the propellers from the motors prior to performing any troubleshooting or maintenance. Failure to
do so may cause serious injury if the motors start unexpetedly.
Problem
Possible Cause
Solution
Quadcopter control response is
inconsistent or requires extra
trim to neutralize movement
Quadcopter not initialized on a level surface
Disconnect the flight battery, center the control trim and
re-initialize the quadcopter
Battery not correctly placed
Adjust battery position so quadcopter balances in the
center of the frame
Quadcopter will not respond
to throttle
Motor arm switch is in the OFF position
Set the motor arm switch to the ON position
Throttle too high and/or throttle trim is too high Reset controls with the throttle stick and throttle trim at
the lowest setting
Quadcopter moved during initialization
Disconnect the flight battery and re-initialize the
quadcopter while keeping the quadcopter from moving
Throttle channel is reversed
Disconnect flight battery, reverse the throttle channel on
the transmitter, recconnect flight battery
Travel adjust settings not correct
Refer to the transmitter setup table for correct travel
adjust settings
Quadcopter does not function
and smells burnt after
connecting the flight battery
Flight battery connected with the wrong
polarity
Replace the power distribution board. Connect the flight
battery noting proper polarity
Quadcopter has reduced flight
time or is underpowered
Flight battery charge is low
Completely recharge the flight battery
Inadequate power to flight battery charger
Use a different power source for the charger
Flight battery is damaged
Replace the flight battery and follow the flight battery
instructions
Flight conditions might be too cold
Make sure battery is warm (room temperature) before use
Crashes immediately upon
lift-off
Propellers in wrong locations or incorrect flight
mode selected
Ensure propeller direction and motor direction are correct
Aileron, elevator or rudder are reversed in the
transmitter
Ensure aileron, elevator or rudder are not reversed
Difficulty binding
Bind button not pressed while powering on
the quadcopter
Power off quadcopter and repeat bind process
Bind switch or button was not held while
transmitter was powered on
Power off transmitter and repeat bind process
Transmitter too near aircraft during binding
process
Power off transmitter. Move transmitter farther from
the aircraft or shield the aircraft from transmitter using
your body. Disconnect and reconnect flight battery to
quadcopter. Follow the binding instructions
Quadcopter or transmitter is too close to
large metal object, wireless source or another
transmitter
Move quadcopter and transmitter to another location and
attempt binding again
Difficulty connecting
(after binding)
Transmitter not powered on before the
quadcopter
Power off quadcopter. Power on transmitter then
quadcopter
Less than a 5-second wait between first
powering on the transmitter and connecting
the flight battery to the quadcopter
Leave the transmitter powered on. Disconnect and
reconnect the flight battery to the quadcopter
The quadcopter is bound to a different model
memory (ModelMatch
™
transmitters only)
Select the correct model memory on the transmitter.
Disconnect and reconnect the flight battery to the
quadcopter
Flight battery or transmitter battery charge is
too low
Replace or recharge batteries
Quadcopter or transmitter is too close to
large metal object, wireless source or another
transmitter
Move quadcopter and transmitter to another location and
attempt connecting again
Static in FPV feed
Interference on chosen channel
Change the video transmitter and receiver channel per
