8. Troubleshooting

If the remote control fails to control the quadcopter, refer to

Matching Remote

Control with Receiver.

Switch on the quadcopter and the blue LED indicator keep blinking, and the copter

cannot be unlocked.

--- Calibrate the gyroscope and accelerometer referring to

Gyroscope and

Accelerator Calibration.

The quadcopter cannot fly steadily after taking off.

--- First make sure you've opened the self-stabilization mode on the GUI.

After a long time, my quadcopter flies less steadily than it does at the beginning.

--- The propellers and motors are consumables and their lifetime may reduce with

each usage.

Precautions

Ensure the safety of yourself and others during the flying.

The assembly of the quadcopter should comply with the instructions above.

Please conform to the local aviation regulations and do not fly in the no-fly zone.

Observe laws and regulations. Do not perform illegal actions with copter.

Properly use the battery and other craft components.
