Safety Precautions

Operating an RC helicopter requires caution. Please adhere to the following safety guidelines:

• Read the Manual: Always read the entire instruction manual before first use.
• Age Recommendation: This product is recommended for users aged 15 months and up. Adult supervision is advised for younger users.
• Flight Environment: Fly in open, clear areas away from people, animals, buildings, and power lines. Avoid flying in strong winds or adverse weather conditions.
• Battery Safety: Use only the provided smart battery and charging cable. Do not overcharge or short-circuit the battery. Discontinue use if the battery shows signs of damage or swelling.
• Rotor Blades: Keep hands, face, and loose clothing away from rotating blades. The blades can cause serious injury.
• Pre-Flight Check: Before each flight, ensure all parts are securely attached, the battery is fully charged, and the remote control is functioning correctly.
• Emergency Stop: Familiarize yourself with the emergency stop function on the remote control.

Setup

1. Charging the Smart Battery

The F02S comes with a 7.4V 1200mAh 25C LI-POLY smart battery. Ensure the battery is fully charged before first use.

1. Connect the dedicated USB charging cable to a compatible USB power source (e.g., computer USB port, USB wall adapter).
2. Connect the smart battery to the charging cable.
3. The charging indicator on the cable or battery will show the charging status. Charging typically takes about 60 minutes.
4. Once fully charged, disconnect the battery from the charger.

2. Remote Control Preparation

The 2.4GHz remote control requires batteries (not specified in package contents, assume user provides or it's internal rechargeable). Ensure it is powered on and ready for binding.

• Power on the remote control.
• Familiarize yourself with the controls and switches. The remote provides 1024-level operation precision and real-time telemetry.

3. Binding the Helicopter to the Remote Control

To establish communication between the helicopter and the remote control, they must be bound. The ELRS Receiver enters binding mode by connecting power continuously 3 times.

1. Ensure both the helicopter and remote control are powered off.
2. Power on the remote control first.
3. Connect the helicopter's battery. Power the helicopter on and off three times consecutively to activate binding mode.
4. Observe the indicator lights on both devices. A solid light typically indicates a successful bind.
5. Once bound, perform a quick check of the controls (e.g., throttle, rudder) to ensure responsiveness before flight.

Operating Instructions

Flight Modes

The F02S supports two primary flight modes, switchable via the remote control:

• 6G Mode (Stability Mode): Ideal for beginners, this mode provides stable flight with automatic stabilization, making it easier to control the helicopter. It utilizes GPS and optical flow for precise altitude hold and hovering.
• 3D Mode (Aerobatic Mode): For experienced pilots, this mode allows for advanced aerobatic maneuvers. The helicopter's flight characteristics become more agile and responsive.

Advanced Positioning Systems

The F02S integrates multiple positioning technologies for enhanced flight stability and safety:

• GPS Satellite Positioning: Provides precise outdoor positioning, enabling features like one-button return-to-home, low battery return, loss of control return, and straight-line return.
• Optical Flow + LIDAR TOF Altitude Hold: For indoor or low-altitude flight, optical flow and LIDAR Time-of-Flight (TOF) sensors provide breakthrough altitude hold technology, ensuring precise position and balance maintenance.

Figure 5: GPS Satellite Positioning enables intelligent flight operations such as Low Battery Return, Loss of Control Return, Straight-Line Return, and One-Button Return-to-Home.

Figure 6: Optical Flow and LIDAR TOF provide precise altitude hold and balance maintenance, offering high precision and strong anti-interference capabilities.

Remote Control Channel Switch Settings (ELRS Receiver)

The following table details the ELRS Receiver channel switch settings corresponding to various flight modes and functions. These settings are based on the T20 open-source communication protocol. For specific interface and parameter differences, refer to your remote control's instruction manual.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your F02S helicopter.

• Cleaning: Gently wipe the helicopter's body with a soft, dry cloth after each use to remove dust and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents.
• Blade Inspection: Regularly inspect the main and tail blades for any cracks, chips, or damage. Replace damaged blades immediately using the provided spares or genuine replacement parts.
• Motor Check: Ensure the brushless motors are free from obstructions and spin smoothly.
• Battery Care: Store the smart battery in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Do not store fully charged or completely depleted for extended periods. Charge to approximately 50% for long-term storage.
• Storage: When not in use, store the helicopter and remote control in a safe place, away from extreme temperatures and moisture.
