Adjustable in App Ground Station Functions and Settings on 

smart device (I.E., smart phone or tablet)

SCROLL WHEELS

•  

On the top of the transmitter, there are two scroll wheels (one 

on the left “shoulder” of the transmitter and the other on the 

right), as well as the recessed mobile device holder. 

Left 

•  The left scroll wheel is used to adjust the brightness of the 

LEDs on the Xplorer. Rolling the scroll wheel clockwise will 

brighten the LEDs; rolling the scroll wheel in a counter-

clockwise direction will decrease the brightness, and will turn 

the LEDs off altogether, if so desired.

Right 

•  The right scroll wheel is used to control the pitch of the 

camera gimbal, if applicable.

MOBILE DEVICE HOLDER

•  Situated between the two shoulder scroll wheels is the 

mobile device holder. To access this item, gently pull 

upwards in the recessed area of the holder as indicated. This 

will extend the retractable unit.

•  The top of the mobile device holder is spring-loaded and is 

capable of holding mobile devices up to 78mm X 100mm 

(3.07” x 3.94”). 

•  Insert the desired mobile device accordingly, making sure 

that the holder firmly grasps the device.

•  Adjust the mobile device holder to attain the desired position. 

When properly positioned, use the supplied wrench to 

tighten the composite joint, using care not to over-tighten. 

The wrench can be found in the “Propellers/Tools/Spare 

Parts” package.  

When flying has been completed for the day, remove the 

mobile device from the holder. Then loosen the joint and return 

the mobile device holder to the retracted position by gently 

pushing downward.

TRANSMITTER REAR 

Range Extender

 

If applicable, the Xplorer’s Range Extender is to be affixed to 

the rear of the transmitter. The transmitter’s Range Extender 

can be found in the “Gimbal” box. To install the Range 

Extender, position it so that the pins on the unit are located in 

the receptacles on the transmitter. After doing so, gently slide 

the Range Extender downward until it is firmly in place. 

Power Switch

Very close to the bottom/rear of the transmitter is the Power 

Switch. This switch, as the designation indicates, determines 

whether the transmitter is ON (active) or OFF. It is strongly 

suggested that the transmitter be turned ON prior to powering 

up the Xplorer. Additionally, we suggest that the user always 

ensures that the throttle stick is in the neutral (center) position 

before turning on the Xplorer.  

Carrying Handle

Near the power switch is the transmitter’s built-in carrying 

handle. This handle may also be used to allow the transmitter 

to stand upright. 

TRANSMITTER BOTTOM 

Charge Port

On the very bottom of the transmitter is the transmitter’s micro 

USB port. This port is used to charge the transmitter’s battery. 

Information about charging the transmitter is found elsewhere 

in this manual. Please refer to the appropriate section for more 

information about the charging procedure.

Indicator Lights on the Drone

The rear LEDs are used as a visual indicator of the Xplorer’s 

flight status. Please refer to the information below.
