3. Acquiring GPS Signals
a. In order for the Quattro-X to acquire a GPS signal, the model must have a clear view of the sky.
Objects such as tall buildings and dense trees will make acquiring a GPS signal difficult or
impossible. Without a GPS signal, GPS Mode, Height Mode and Return Home Modes will not be
available. Do not attempt to fly in one of these GPS Modes when the GPS signal is known to be
poor or intermittent.
WARNING
: Never attempt to fly in one of these modes indoors.
b. With the Quattro-X powered up and the transmitter switched ON, allow the Quattro to receive GPS
signals by positioning the model on the ground with a clear view of the sky. GPS signals have been
acquired with the GREEN LED on the rear of the Quattro-X stops flashing and illuminates with a
steady light. Typically, this can take around 2 minutes.
Note:
The accuracy of the hover and
landing point is dependent on the strength of the GPS signal - even if the LED is GREEN - and can
also be affected by the wind and other weather conditions.
4. Unlocking and Locking the Motors
a. As a safety feature, the motors need to be ‘Unlocked’ prior to operation. Until the motors are
unlocked, the throttle stick will not have any effect. Note that you can only unlock the motors
when both switches are in their ‘0’ positions. It is good practice to leave the motors locked until
the Quattro-X has bound to the transmitter, the GPS signals have been acquired and you are ready
to fly. Note after you have unlocked the Quattro-X some motors might turn slowly if it’s on uneven
ground . Don’t be put off, the slow running of the motors will help the Quattro-X come to a level
hover quicker when you take off from uneven ground.
WARNING
: Never unlock the Quattro-X
while you are holding it in the air, as some motors will turn slowly thinking it’s on uneven ground.
b. With a Mode 2 transmitter, to unlock the motors keep the throttle stick in its lowest position and
move it to the bottom right of the transmitter. For a Mode 1 transmitter, keep the throttle at its
lowest position and pull back the rudder/elevator joystick to the bottom right of the transmitter and
hold it in this position. The motors are unlocked and
armed when the flashing RED LED illuminates with
a steady light and the rear motors spin slowly. The
LED may take a few seconds to illuminate. The
motors return to a locked state if the throttle is not
moved within a few seconds after unlocking.
c. With a Mode 2 transmitter, to lock the motors,
reduce the throttle stick to its lowest position and
move it to the bottom left of the transmitter. For a
Mode 1 transmitter, keep the throttle at its lowest
position and pull back the rudder/elevator joystick
to the bottom left of the transmitter. The motors are
locked when the steady RED LED begins flashing
and the motors stop spinning. It may take a few
seconds for the LED to begin flashing.
