5. Setup

5.1 Battery Installation and Charging

1. Charge the Helicopter Battery: Connect the provided USB charging cable to the 3.7V 220mAh lithium battery. Plug the USB end into a suitable USB power source (e.g., computer USB port, USB wall adapter). The charging indicator will show the charging status. Charging typically takes about 40 minutes.
2. Install Helicopter Battery: Once fully charged, carefully insert the modular battery into the designated compartment on the helicopter. Ensure it clicks securely into place.

5.2 Remote Controller Setup

1. Install Remote Controller Batteries: Open the battery compartment on the back of the remote controller and insert the required batteries (typically AA, not included). Ensure correct polarity.
2. Power On: Turn on the remote controller first, then the helicopter. The indicator lights on both devices will flash and then become solid once paired.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Pre-Flight Check

• Ensure both helicopter and remote controller batteries are fully charged.
• Check that all propellers are securely attached and free from damage.
• Verify that the flight area is clear of obstacles and people.

6.2 Takeoff and Landing

The helicopter features a convenient one-key takeoff and landing function:

• One-Key Takeoff: Place the helicopter on a flat surface. After pairing, press the one-key takeoff button on the remote controller. The helicopter will automatically ascend to a stable hovering height.
• One-Key Landing: During flight, press the one-key landing button. The helicopter will slowly descend and land automatically.

6.3 Flight Controls

The 6-channel remote controller allows for comprehensive flight maneuvers:

• Throttle Stick (Left Stick): Controls altitude (up/down).
• Directional Stick (Right Stick): Controls forward/backward, left/right side flight, and turning left/right.
• Altitude Hold: The helicopter maintains a stable altitude automatically, allowing you to focus on directional control.
• Multi-Directional Flight: Once activated, the helicopter can be maneuvered in all directions with ease.

6.4 Speed Adjustment

The helicopter offers three-speed settings to match your skill level:

• Low Speed: Ideal for beginners and indoor flight.
• Medium Speed: For intermediate pilots and light outdoor conditions.
• High Speed: For experienced pilots and more dynamic flight.

Refer to your remote controller manual for specific button assignments to switch between speed modes.

6.5 Optical Flow Positioning (If Applicable)

For models equipped with optical flow positioning, this feature enhances hovering stability, especially in indoor environments, by using a downward-facing camera to detect ground patterns and maintain position. This effectively reduces collisions and damages caused by instability during flight.

7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your helicopter:

• Cleaning: After each flight, gently wipe the helicopter with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid using water or chemical cleaners.
• Propeller Inspection: Regularly check propellers for any cracks, bends, or damage. Replace damaged propellers immediately using the provided spare parts.
• Battery Care: Store batteries in a cool, dry place. Do not store fully charged or fully depleted batteries for extended periods. Charge them to about 50% for long-term storage.
• Storage: When not in use, store the helicopter and remote controller in a safe place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Easy to Maintain: The design of the A60 allows for straightforward maintenance and part replacement.
