Please read this manual thoroughly before first use and retain it for future reference. The X10 PRO is a mid-sized GPS drone featuring a 4K UHD camera, brushless motors, and intelligent flight modes such as Auto Return, Follow Me, Tap Fly, and Point of Interest.

Setup
1. Charging the Batteries
Ensure all drone batteries and the remote controller are fully charged before flight. Use the provided USB charger. The drone batteries (7.4V 2500mAh 18.5Wh) take approximately 360 minutes to fully charge. The remote controller takes approximately 40 minutes. Do not overcharge and keep away from flammable materials during charging.
2. Propeller Installation and Check
If propellers are damaged or deformed, replace them immediately using the provided screwdriver. Install propeller blades according to the letter markings (A or B) on the blades and drone arms. Ensure correct orientation for proper flight.
3. App Download and Controller Connection
Download the "CHUBORY GPS" app from your device's app store (iOS or Android) by scanning the QR code in the user manual. Turn off your phone's cellular network, then turn on WLAN and connect to the network starting with "CBR-DRONE". Open the app and click 'Start Play'. For optimal experience, control the drone with the physical controller while using your mobile phone to view the camera feed.
4. Calibration
Perform both Gyroscope and Geomagnetic Calibration before your first flight or if you experience unstable flight. Place the drone on a level surface. Follow the in-app instructions for calibration, which typically involves rotating the drone in specific directions. The drone's indicator lights will confirm successful calibration.

Troubleshooting
- Drone not powering on: Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted.
