First Time Battery Setup

We are now going to go proceed with a first time setup of the SmoothFlite .

Please ensure your batteries are fully charged before you setup the SmoothFlite.

If you need any additional help with what each button or item does please read the

General Usage and Screen information page located on page 7 of this manual.

We recommend you do not have any servos connected to the SmoothFlite during the
first time setup.

Step 1

Ensure that both batteries are plugged into
the SmoothFlite. You will also need to en-
sure the Smart display is plugged into the
switch as it is used for programming.

Upon power up, you will see the AR logo.
After a few seconds the Smart Screen will
be shown.

Step 2

Press the green

Total mA

text on the Smart

Screen, this will take you to the main menu.

Step 3

You should now see the Main Menu
Screen. Press the

POWER

button on

the screen.
