Charging the Drone Batteries

To charge the drone batteries, start by connecting the
charger to a power outlet. Then, plug the balance ca-
ble to your charger. If the battery is empty, the charger
will indicate that it is charging by turning the three
LEDs red. The charger has finished charging once
the three LEDs have turned green. Always leave the
charger plugged in until all three LEDs have turned
green, otherwise it might damage the battery.

Installing the Battery on the Drone

The battery must be installed on top of the drone with the strap that comes with it. Before flying, make sure that
the battery cable is tucked under the strap so that it can not get in contact with the propellers while in flight.

Turning the Drone ON/OFF

The drone is turned On and OFF by plugging the flight battery in or plugging it out.

Turning the Goggles ON/OFF

To turn the goggles On or OFF, use the switch situated on the underside of the goggles.

Choosing the Video Channel

The goggles can listen on five different bands: BandA, BandB, BandE, FS and RACE. Each band has 8 channels.
To see the video from your drone in your goggles, you have to make sure that the goggles are on the right
channel. There are two ways to do so:

1.

Automatically:

Press the joystick vertically. The goggles will automatically scan the whole spectrum to

find the channel on which your drone is emitting. We ship our drones on the band Race and the channel
5.

2.

Manually:

Move through the channels by using the two CH+ and CH- buttons. A long press on the button

will change band, a short press will change the channel.

Changing the Goggles Display Settings

You can change brightness and contrast of your goggles by moving the joystick "Display Control". Moving it up
and down will change the brightness and side to side will change the contrast.
