4. Gyroscope Calibration

Calibrate the gyroscope for stable flight:

  1. After pairing, long press the "One Key Gyroscope Calibration" button on the remote control.
  2. You will hear a beeping sound. The drone's front lights will turn solid, and its back lights will blink slowly, indicating successful gyroscope calibration.

5. Geomagnetism Calibration

Perform geomagnetism calibration for accurate GPS functionality:

  1. Press the "One Key Geomagnetism Calibration" button on the remote control.
  2. You will hear a beeping sound. The drone's front and back lights will blink quickly.
  3. Horizontally rotate the drone clockwise for 3-5 circles.
  4. You will hear another beep. The drone's four lights will blink slowly.
  5. Vertically rotate the drone with its camera facing downward, clockwise for 3-5 circles.
  6. When the remote control beeps again, and the drone's front lights turn solid with its back lights blinking slowly, the calibration is successful.

6. GPS Satellite Search

For outdoor flight, ensure GPS signal is acquired:

  1. After successful geomagnetism calibration, the drone will begin searching for satellites.
  2. Within 1-3 minutes, you will hear a beeping sound from the remote controller. The third light on the remote controller will turn off from quick blinking.
  3. The drone's front and back lights will turn solid.
  4. Check the companion app (if installed) for at least 10 satellites shown on the screen. This indicates successful GPS satellite acquisition.
