7.1 Compass calibrati on
IMPORTANT:
Make sure to calibrate the compass before use or in every new fl ight locati on.
The compass is very sensiti ve to electromagneti c interference, which can cause abnormal
compass data leading to poor fl ight performance or even fl ight failure. Regular calibrati on is
required for opti mum performance.
- Do not calibrate the compass in a strong magneti c fi eld.
- Do not carry ferromagneti c material, such as keys, mobile phones, etc. while calibrati ng
the compass.
- The propellers must be removed before calibrati on to avoid accidental injury.
In a wide, open area turn on the controller and X-Drone and make sure that the equipment
is working properly and follow the procedure below to calibrate.
