b) Remote control system
Open the battery cover on the remote control by removing the locking screw. Insert three batteries of type AAA,
each with 1.5 V, observing the correct polarity.
If you wish to fly using the drone’s camera, you can mount your smartphone to the remote control. To do this, undo
the cover on the rear of the remote control. Then, insert the smartphone holder until it clicks into place. The holder is
not included with some model versions.
Modern smartphones are often heavier than the radio remote control. Open out the tip-over protection on
the base of the holder. This prevents the remote control falling over when set down. Ensure stable mount-
ing so that your smartphone and the remote control remain undamaged.
In order to mount your smartphone to the remote control, push the upper edge of the holder upwards and place your
device between the clamping jaws. Align the device centrally.
Carefully check whether the clamping for your smartphone is sufficient. Ensure that there are no strong
movements on the remote control. If there are, there is a risk of your smartphone coming loose. There is
no guarantee that smartphones in protective cases can be securely mounted. Not all smartphone models
have the appropriate dimensions for mounting.
For further information on flying by camera, see chapter 9.
