4.1. Power On and Pairing

1. Ensure the helicopter battery is fully charged and securely installed.
2. Turn on the helicopter's power switch.
3. Turn on the transmitter. The transmitter and helicopter should automatically pair. Wait for the indicator lights to confirm a successful connection.

4.2. Flight Modes

The F112S features a smart flight controller with multiple modes:

• GPS Mode: Utilizes GPS positioning for enhanced stability and precise hovering.
• Vision Mode (Optical Flow): Uses optical flow sensors for stable and accurate hovering, especially in indoor environments or areas with limited GPS signal.
• Manual Mode: Provides full manual control for experienced pilots.

Refer to your transmitter's specific controls for switching between these modes.

4.3. Smart Flight Features

The intelligent flight system includes several safety and convenience features:

• One-Button Return: Initiates an automatic return to the takeoff point.
• Geofence: Establishes virtual boundaries to prevent the helicopter from flying out of a designated area.

• Low Battery Return: The helicopter will automatically return when the battery level is critically low.
• Signal Loss Return: The helicopter will return to its takeoff point if the signal from the transmitter is lost.

4.4. Flight Duration

Expect a flight time of approximately 10-12 minutes on a full charge, depending on flight conditions and maneuvers.

5. Maintenance

5.1. Cleaning

Regularly clean the helicopter's fuselage and rotor blades with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents that could damage the material or electronics.

5.2. Blade Inspection

Before each flight, inspect the main and tail blades for any signs of damage, cracks, or deformities. Replace damaged blades immediately to ensure safe and stable flight. Spare blades are included in your package.

5.3. Battery Care

Store the LiPo battery in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Do not overcharge or over-discharge the battery. If the helicopter will not be used for an extended period, charge the battery to approximately 50% capacity before storage.

6. Troubleshooting

• Helicopter does not power on: Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Check the power switch on both the helicopter and the transmitter.
• Helicopter does not respond to controls: Verify that the transmitter and helicopter are properly paired. Check the transmitter batteries. Ensure there are no strong interference sources nearby.
• Unstable flight: Perform a calibration if available (refer to transmitter instructions). Check for damaged or bent rotor blades. Ensure flight is conducted in calm conditions, as the helicopter is designed to work in 4-5 wind but extreme conditions can affect stability.
• Short flight time: Ensure the battery is fully charged. Flight time can vary based on aggressive flying or strong winds.
