Transmitter calibration
• Check all parts for damage and dirt. Replace any damaged parts and clean the model, because dirt
increases the weight and therefore can degrade the flying qualities.
1. Put battery into battery compartment and plug in. Place the Quadrocopter on an even surface and don’t
move it anymore until the start. The red and green tail-LED of the model will blink alternately fast.
2. As soon as the two LED’s slowly blink, you can close the battery compartment.
3. Now turn on the transmitter. Regard: Switch SWA and SWB in position 0, throttle lever to the lowest po-
sition = no throttle. The binding is finished as soon as the transmitter’s beep-sound stops.
Note:
Perform
steps 1-3 also if you need to re-bind the Quadrocopter to the transmitter, for example, after a transmitter
change.
4. GPS: Wait approximately 2 minutes, until the green LED on the model is permanently on.
WARNING:
If the green LED blinks during start, all GPS-supported modes (Position-Hold, Altitude-
Hold and Coming-Home) mustn’t be used for the model receives no sufficient GPS-signal and is unable
to determine its position –
danger of falling! Also without function is the Failsafe Coming-Home!
5.
Unlock motors:
Move the throttle lever to the lowest right position
and wait until the red LED of the model stops blinking. You can now
start your model.
6.
Lock motors:
Move the throttle lever to the lowest left position and
wait until the red LED blinks. If you now open the throttle the motors
won’t start. For reasons of security always use this mode if you are not
flying.
7.
Calibration:
In rare cases it can happen that the Quadrocopter flies unstable barely holding its position,
then it has to be re-calibrated. The procedure is as follows:
a. Lock motors: Move the throttle lever to the lowest left position and wait until the red LED on the model
blinks.
b. Now move the throttle lever to the lowest right position and wait until the red LED won’t blink anymore,
then start. Hold the model in the air for approximately 20 seconds and land again. Lock the motors
(throttle lever lower left), the calibration is completed.
Landing:
• Carefully push the left throttle lever rearward. Try to land „smooth“ without damaging the Quadrocopter.
• Switch of the Quadrocopter and then the transmitter.
WARNING:
the motor of the XciteRC Runner 250 may get very hot during operation. Allow to cool
down minimum 20 minutes before the next start to avoid damage.
Fire hazard!
Transmitter calibration
The transmitter of the Runner 250 is calibrated at the factory. However, should a recalibration be required (eg.
if the Quadrocopter rolls to one side more sensitive than to the other), this can be done anytime.
1. To do this, bring both switches SWA and SWB, as well as the AUX1 and AUX2 dial to the 0 position, the
trim lever must also be brought into neutral position. To do this, move the trim levers in the middle until
you hear a long beep. This indicates that the neutral position is reached.
2. Set the switch SWB in position 1 (A) and the throttle stick to the middle position. Now press the horizontal
trim lever on the right side up and turn on the transmitter (B). All three Mode LED’s lights up. Move both
sticks in circular motions to the full scale (C). Make about two complete circles, then move both sticks
back to neutral position. After that move both AUX knobs twice from minimum to full scale, and finally
back to position 0.
3. To complete the calibration switch SWB back in position 0 (D). The transmitter confirms the successful
calibration with a beep.
