10.1 Charging Your Remote Control
Before you start using your MGI Navigator Quad Gyro you must
fully charge the remote control internal lithium ion battery for
approximately 6 hours or overnight using the USB cord provided.
The top right LOCK button will flash while charging. When a full
charge is complete, the green light will stay on and stop flashing.
To charge the remote, plug the USB cord into the USB plug at
the base of the remote as pictured in the diagram. The cable
then needs to be plugged into your PC or Laptop for charging.
Alternatively you can plug the cable into an AC adaptor [not
provided].
To check the power level of the remote control, point the remote
at the digital top box and press any button on the remote
control. The remotes battery level will appear on screen. See
section 9.3 for more information.
10.2 Forward Arrow
Press the forward button to start the and accelerate the unit. The
longer you depress the button, the faster the unit travels.
10.3 Down Arrow
The down arrow decreases the speed and provides for reverse.
If you are moving forward, the down arrow can be used to
decrease speed, the longer the pressure, the slower the speed.
To operate the Reverse mode you must stop the unit first. Press
the down arrow and the unit will reverse. The unit will move in the
backward direction only whilst you keep the arrow depressed. If
you take your finger off the down arrow the unit will stop [safety
feature].
10.4 Left and Right Arrow
Press the appropriate turn command, left or right buttons and
keep pressed until the degree of turn is achieved. Momentary
pressure will make a small adjustment to the direction, whilst
prolonged pressure will increase the amount of turn and speed
of the turn.
10.5 Speed Control – Manually and Remotely
Under manual control, you can adjust the speed by turning the
speed control button to the left or right. When changing to the
remote control, irrespective of the speed level indicated on the
display, the unit will always start at speed 1.
10.6 Keypad Unlock and Lock
The remote control has two buttons at the top which allow
you to LOCK and UNLOCK the keypad. This will help eliminate
accidental control when storing the remote in your pocket.
The STOP button will continue to work, when the LOCK feature is
activated.
10.7 Remote Range and Safety Stop
The MGI Navigator Quad Gyro can be remotely controlled up
to 50m. If the remote control is not touched for 150m, then the
automatic safety stop will activate causing the unit to stop. This is
for the protection of your unit, yourself and others. If the unit was
last activated using the manual controls, the auto safety stop
feature will not operate.
11.0 Gyroscope Anti-Deviation Navigation
System
The Navigator Quad is built with a Patented Gyroscope “anti-
deviation” navigation system. This automatic feature ensures the
unit maintains its direction regardless of the terrain. The unit will
automatically brake or accelerate either wheel to maintain its
direction.
When the model is controlled by the remote, the Navigation
system is always ON.
When the model is controlled manually, the Navigation system is
always OFF.
Tip: On a steep incline, the gradient may force the unit off line.
You do not need to adjust the unit. The unit will work its way back
on course. In addition, if the unit hits a tuft of grass or another
object, the unit will momentarily be forced off course. However, it
will work its way back onto the original course automatically.
