          WARNING

These operating instructions are designed to ensure that you quickly become familiar 

with its functions. It is therefore important that your read right through the Operating 

instructions, Warning and Safety Notes before you attempt to use your new charger 
for the first time.

Read before first flight

 

Read these instructions before using the Gannet II +/ MAX+.
Read the ENTIRE instruction manual. Watch the instructional videos. Become familiar 
with the features of the drone before operating. Failure to operate the drone correctly 
can result in damage to the drone, personal property and cause serious injury.

• 

 If the drone will not hover in one place it is likely the compass calibration process 
will need to be redone. 

See instruction later in the manual. 

• 

 DO NOT pull the throttle all the way down when flying. This will make the motors 

idle and the drone will fall out the sky. 

• 

If the drone suddenly starts flying erratically in GPS mode, it is recommended to 

switch to “Position Hold” mode (switch E to the middle position) to take full manual 

control over the flight of the drone. 

• 

DO NOT use a charger higher rated than 5.5v for the remote controller.
