16. Installing the smartphone app

The quadrocopter has a Wi-Fi function and can thus be connected to a smartphone. For this purpose, you first need

to install a special app on your smartphone. The only costs incurred will be the normal costs incurred through down-

loading. The app itself is free.
Scan the QR code for your operating system (iOS or Android). After scanning the QR code, you will be automatically

re-directed to the download page for the current version of the app.

QR code for iOS

QR code for Android

Alternatively, search for the "GX-FPV" app in "Apple Store" for the iOS operating system and in "Google Play Store"

for the Android operating system.

a) Opening the app

Once the app has been successfully installed on your smartphone, you can open the app.

As the app is constantly updated, it is possible that new functions have been added to the current app,

which are beyond the scope of this manual. If you have any questions regarding the functionality, you

should use the app's help function.

Figure 23 shows the home page of the app, which includes

three options:
1  Question mark icon = access the help pages
2  Cog icon = Adjust settings
3  "Play" icon = start app
