7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Quadcopter does not respond to transmitter. | Not bound, low battery (quadcopter or transmitter), power switch off. | Ensure both devices are powered on. Re-bind the quadcopter and transmitter. Check and replace/charge batteries. |
| Quadcopter drifts during flight. | Improper trim settings, uneven surface during binding, damaged propeller. | Adjust trim buttons on the transmitter. Ensure quadcopter is on a level surface when binding. Inspect and replace damaged propellers. |
| Short flight time. | Battery not fully charged, old battery, aggressive flying. | Ensure battery is fully charged. Consider replacing old batteries. Fly more conservatively. |
