Calibrating the compass
Before the Quadrocopter can be started the
compass must be calibrated.
We recommend calibration before each flight.
After a change of location to a different starting
position the compass must be calibrated.
• Switch the toggle switch „GPS" 5 times quickly from
the front position (position 1) to the rear position (posi-
tion 2) and back. The status LEDs on the Quadrocop-
ter have to glow continuously yellow (red and green).
• Keep the Quadrocopter horizontal (see figure 9,
image A) and rotate it around the vertical axis until the
status LED colour changes to green (at least 360°).
• Then hold the Quadrocopter with the front propellers
vertically downwards and rotate it 360° around the
longitudinal axis (see figure 9, image B) until the sta-
tus LEDs go out.
• The calibration is complete.
• Bring the Quadrocopter back to the normal position.
• After a short time the status LEDs flash according to
the GPS satellites received.
• If the status LED flash red and yellow, the calibration
was erroneous and must be repeated.

Setting the toggle switch
Before you can fly your model for the first time, check
the switch positions of the three toggle switches „IOC"
(1) „GO-HOME" (2) and „GPS" (3). The switches must
be set according to the diagram in figure 14 in the front
and upper position. The Quadrocopter flies GPS stabi-
lized in this switch combination. This switch position is
ideal for the first test flights in the open.
If the Quadrocopter is to be used indoors, the switch
„GPS" (3) must be switched to the lower position („GPS"

off).
For further information on switch functions, please read the full guide, which is also available in the
Conrad online shop ready to download in the product details.
Starting the Quadrocopter
• Wait until the Quadrocopter receives more than six
GPS satellites and has saved the starting point. The
status LEDs will then flash green every 5 seconds.
The Quadrocopter is now ready to start.
• Move the left joystick to bottom right, and at the same
time, the right joystick to the bottom left (see figure
15).
• Once the engines start up, immediately return the two
joysticks back to the center position.
• The downward LEDs on the front cantilever arm glow
white and the downward LEDs on the rear cantilever
Figure 10
arm glow red.
Important!
If you move both joysticks in and down again the engines are turned off. Therefore, never perform
this steering movement in flight!
• Move the joystick slowly forward for the pitch function. The propeller speed of the Quadrocopter increases
and it takes off.
• When you move the joystick back to the center position, the Quadrocopter hovers at a constant height.
• Carry out the first tentative direction controls at a height of 1 - 2 m to check how the Quadrocopter reacts
to the control commands.
• In order to land the Quadrocopter, move the joystick for the pitch function from the center slightly to the rear
so that the Quadrocopter slowly loses height and lands.
• Move the joystick for the pitch function to the rear/bottom and hold it in this position until the motors are
switched off.

The camera can be swivelled 45° vertical upwards and 135° downwards from the horizontal position. The
swivelling is controlled with the control dial VRB (1).
