About white LED indicator

meaning of white LED

When the attitude error is big or GPS connection loose, white LED is on.

solutions in different situations

a) Operate aircraft in large actions: white LED disappears while stable, at this time, user can operate it normally.
b) White LED is still on: please land aircraft as soon as possible and check if the GPS connection looses or not in
time.

About low-voltage alarm
During flight, red LED flashes quickly, it indicates that battery is in low-voltage alarm, red LED is still on, it
indicates that battery is in low-voltage emergency alarm.

About barometer initialization failure
Before operation, red LED is still on, it indicates barometer failed, please restart flight control system.

About magnetic compass calibration
To make magnetic compass calibration, if attitude error is within 5 degrees, blue LED is still on, it indicates that
user can make calibration, if attitude error is out of 5 degrees(blue LED is off), it indicates user needs to make
calibration again. After completion, while flight control will save data, purple LED is still on(2seconds on and 1
