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.
