The following items are required to fly your new Apollo A1 quadcopter. Items required can be purchased through
your local Hobby People retail store or online at www.hobbypeople.net.
• 8 ‘AA’ Alkaline Batteries for Transmitter (P/N 849440)
• Mini USB Cable (P/N 163452) and Windows PC or Laptop for Programming and Firmware Updates**
* When the LiPo battery voltage drops to the low voltage cutoff value during flight, the LED Condition Indicator will
flash red rapidly to indicate you must land immediately. For extra precaution, we suggest using a programmable
LiPo Battery Voltage Alarm that can be mounted with the LiPo battery inside the quadcopter. You are able to
program the alarm to sound at a higher cutoff voltage value to give you more time to safely land before the
battery voltage drops too low and results in a crash.
**Not required for basic flying, but programming is required for best performance.
