Smart Battery Safety Guidelines

Learning Your Transmitter

•  One of the most important components of the Xplorer is the 

transmitter that is supplied with this drone. We’ve designed 

this transmitter with you, the user, in mind. The features 

and functionality of this controller are very intuitive and 

relatively easy to master after a few flights. However, it will be 

beneficial to review the information below before taking off 

with the Xplorer. 

•  Looking at the front of transmitter you will note that there are 

two sticks, three push-buttons and a selector with numerical 

indicators to the left (1, 2, 3). The purpose and functionality 

of these items will be covered in this section. 

TRANSMITTER STICK INPUT

•  The sticks on the front of the transmitter are used to control 

some of the functions of the drone’s flight. They are also 

utilized to change the flight modes, alter the compliance 

configuration and arm/disarm the motors.

•  For the purposed of this manual, we will utilize the Mode 2 

flight mode, as this is the most popular in the North American 

market. Mode 2 is also the default mode for the transmitter.

•  Please note that this information is conveyed assuming that 

the front of the drone is pointed away from the pilot. The 

front (nose) of the drone is indicated by the blinking triangular 

power button on top of the drone when the Xplorer has been 

turned on.

•  In Mode 2, the left stick will control the throttle (causing the 

Xplorer to rise or descend) and the yaw input. Advancing 

the throttle stick away (towards the top of the transmitter) 

increases the propeller speeds and will, therefore, cause the 

Xplorer to climb accordingly. Alternatively, pulling the throttle 

stick towards the bottom of the transmitter reduces the 

propeller RPMs and will cause the drone to descend. 

•  Once the Xplorer has landed and you have pulled the 

throttle stick all the way down and hold it for approximately 

three (3) seconds, the motors will disarm (stop the rotation 

accordingly).

•  If the left stick is moved to the left, the front of the Xplorer will 

also rotate to the left (counter clockwise). Conversely, moving 

this stick to the right will move the nose of the Xplorer in a 

clockwise direction.

•  The stick on the right side of the controller is responsible 

for moving the Xplorer forward/backward and for banking/

angling the drone to the left or right, as the case may be. 

Moving the right stick to the top of the transmitter moves 

the Xplorer forward; pulling back will move the Xplorer in a 

rearward direction.

•  Please see the sections entitled Changing the Transmitter 

Operation Mode and Compliance Version Configuration for 

additional information on stick input effects. 

•  Only use the Xiro battery and Xiro battery charger for the 

Xplorer. Xiro does not take any responsibility for damages 

caused by third party batteries or battery chargers.

•  

Do Not

 charge the battery immediately after a flight; allow the 

battery ample time to cool down prior to charging. 

•  Replace the battery if it has been discharged over 300 times.

•  Never recharge or use a visually defective/damaged battery.

•  When not using the battery for a long period of time, please 

make sure it is at 50% charge or less.

•  Discharge the battery completely once every 20 charge/

discharge cycles. This will help to optimize battery life. 

•  Please deliver used batteries to designated disposal locations.

 

•  If battery acid gets on your skin or in your eyes, immediately 

wash your skin or eyes with fresh water for at least 15 minutes 

and contact medical personnel immediately.

•  To put out a battery fire use sand or use a dry power 

extinguisher that is designed for this application. DO NOT  

use water.

• 

NEVER

 leave a charging battery unattended.

•  It is suggested that batteries be both stored and charged in a 

fireproof container.

•  

While the batteries are charging, it is a good time  

to go through this manual and familiarize yourself  

with the Xplorer, the transmitter and the gimbal unit  

(if applicable).
