Auto Take-off
• Ensure that the Xplorer and the transmitter GPS indications
are positive. The rear LEDs on the Xplorer should be blinking
green; the transmitter GPS LED should be a solid green.
• Press the “Auto Take-off/Land” button.
• The Xplorer will take off and reach an altitude of 3 meters.
When it has done so, please press this button once again.
This resets the function for the auto landing.
Auto Landing
• With the Xplorer in flight, begin to hover over the desired
landing spot. This should be a spacious area and should also
be a flat surface. This will prevent any inadvertent tip-overs.
• Once the drone has settled into the hover, press the “Auto
Take-off/Land” button.
• The Xplorer will slowly descend and land. Once it has done
so, the motors will automatically disarm and shut themselves
off.
• Press the button again after landing to reset it for a later
take-off.
TAKE-OFF AND LANDING IN ATTITUDE
FLIGHT MODE
Take-off
• Some users will find that it is easier and more precise
to ‘pinch’ the stick between the thumb and forefinger
accordingly. Others prefer to simply use their thumbs for
controlling the transmitter’s input. It is a matter of personal
preference and we suggest trying both to determine which is
better suited for each individual pilot.
• Again, following all previously described safety precautions
and safe practices, gently push the left stick (throttle) on the
transmitter forward slowly to take off.
**Note** Again, this manual is written based on using the Mode
2 transmitter. If this transmitter mode has been changed, it will
impact the stick inputs accordingly.
Landing
• Gently and slowly decrease the throttle input by pulling the
left stick back, towards the bottom of the transmitter. The
Xplorer will slowly start to descend and will eventually land.
**Note** Once the Xplorer is on the ground, if the throttle stick
is placed in the lowest position (towards the bottom of the
transmitter) for three seconds, the motors will be disarmed and
stop rotating.
• Once the Xplorer has reached the ground, the motors will
stop automatically after landing (when using the Auto Land
function).
**Note** If Flight Level 1 is selected on the transmitter, the
Xplorer cannot take off in Attitude Flight Mode. This is a safety
precaution for entry-level drone operators to prevent any
mishaps. As an indicator, the rear LEDs on the Xplorer will
rapidly blink yellow.
• It is suggested that the users NOT attach the gimbal for the
test flight or for training flights.
• Use the Xiro App to further your flight training and increase
your skills.
• This can be found under My Home Page, then
Settings on the App.
• Click Flying College, then you will enter the basic
Flight Maneuvers.
• Swipe down to go through these.
• Swipe Right to move to the advanced Flight Training
and Right again to get to Special Flight Training.
LOST CONNECTION FUNCTIONALITY
• As an added safety precaution, we’ve included a function
that will prevent the Xplorer from performing unwanted
maneuvers should it lose connection with the transmitter’s
control inputs. The manner in which this functions is dictated
by whether the pilot is using the GPS Flight Mode or the
Attitude Mode. Please see the appropriate section below for
additional information:
In GPS Mode
• Should the Xplorer lose connectivity with the transmitter
control inputs, it will automatically return to the point where it
last had a strong connection with the transmitter.
• It will hover in this known position for a period of 15 seconds,
during which it will attempt to recover the connection with
the transmitter. If this attempt is unsuccessful, the Xplorer will
then begin to return to the home point.
• If connection with the transmitter resumes while the Xplorer
is on the path to the home point, the Xplorer will cease
movement and begin to hover. The user may then assume
full control at that point.
In Attitude Mode
• Should the Xplorer lose connection with the transmitter, it
will start to drift as it attempts to constantly reconnect with
the transmitter. When it does so, the drone pilot will assume
complete control of the Xplorer.
• If battery power is low and the Xplorer has not regained
connectivity, the drone will descend accordingly.
**Note** If connection is lost, try walking in the direction of
the Xplorer. Occasionally, reducing the distance between
the Xplorer and the transmitter can help re-establish the
connection.
BATTERY INDICATOR INFORMATION
Low Battery Level Warning
• The Xplorer will trigger several low battery warnings when the
battery capacity is low.
•
Transmitter:
Intermittent vibrations will be felt in the
transmitter; the battery LED, furthest on the right, will turn
red.
•
Xplorer:
The rear Flight Indicator lights will slowly blink red.
• App: A warning message will appear on the screen.
Critical Low Battery Level
•
Transmitter:
The transmitter will begin vibrating constantly;
the indicator light will be red.
•
Xplorer in GPS Mode:
The rear Flight Indicator lights will
begin blinking rapidly (red). Additionally, the Xplorer will begin
to descend and automatically land if the distance between
the Xplorer and the home point is more than 100 meters. If
this distance is less than 100 meters it will return home prior
to landing.
•
Xplorer in Attitude Mode:
The rear Flight Indicator lights will
begin blinking rapidly (red); the drone will begin to descend
and automatically land in the location in which it is currently
flown.
**Note** The user can always recall the Xplorer by pressing
the “Return to Home” button when the battery runs low. The
Xplorer will start flying home, and will land when it gets back to
the home point, or it will land where the battery goes flat.
