How to Use

Charging

• Insert one end of the Type-C cable into the charging port of SRC4 and the other end into the charging adapter, then connect the adapter to a power source.
• While charging with the fast charger, the power indicator will blink rapidly and the buzzer will beep. The power indicator will turn solid green when the SRC4 is fully charged.

Note

• When you are using SRC4 while it is slow charging, the battery level will only stay around the same level. To achieve a full charge, please turn it off.

Power on/off

• Power on: Press and hold the power button for 2 seconds, the power indicator light will turn solid while the joystick lock indicator will blink, indicating the system is booting up. Once the joystick lock indicator turns solid and you hear the voice prompt “power on”, it means the SRC4 has been successfully powered on.
• Power off: Press and hold the power button for 2 seconds until all indicators turn off and you hear the voice prompt “power off”.

Warning

• This product is intended for use exclusively with XAG’s products. Using the remote controller with non-XAG products is likely to result in incompatibility issues. Any loss or legal liability arising from such usage shall be borne by the user.
• Keep the remote controller away from water while charging or in use, as it is not waterproof. You will be responsible for any product failure or damage resulting from exposure to water.

Unfold Antenna

• Spread out the antennas and adjust them to the appropriate positions. Rotate the antennas clockwise to change the orientation.

Note

The signal strength varies depending on the position of the antenna. When operating the drone remotely, you can adjust the antenna orientation to optimize signal reception.
Several factors affect the signal between the remote controller and the drone, including antenna position, antenna tightness, obstructions, and interference from other Wi-Fi signals. If the remote controller signal is weak, adjust the remote controller’s antenna immediately or choose an area free of obstructions and interference from other Wi-Fi signals.

RCN Pairing Mode

In an environment without a 4G network, the remote controller and the drone can be networked and bound by RCN pairing mode, enabling the remote controller to manipulate the drone without internet. Users can follow these steps for networking:

1. Enable the remote controller’s Bluetooth.
2. On the home screen, tap “System Settings” and then “Device Networking”. After entering the Device Networking screen, select the device that needs to be networked and tap “Confirm”.

After networking is completed, bind the remote controller and use it to start the remote-controlled flight, aerial survey, etc.

Bind a Remote Controller

Before using the remote controller to manipulate the drone, please bind it by following these steps.

1. Keep the drone online and enable the remote controller’s Bluetooth.
2. On the Device screen, tap Operation Device and then “Bind Remote Controller” and select the remote controller to be bound.
3. Tap “Bind” and wait for the binding to be successful.

After the remote controller is bound, you can view current remote controller’s status and communication quality in the section of Bind Remote Controller.

Firmware Update

Before using the device, you must check if the firmware version is up to date. If not, make sure to install the latest version.

1. On the home screen, tap “System Settings” – “Firmware Update” to check for updates.
2. When an update is pushed, select the firmware to be updated, and tap “Download and Install”. After the update is complete, tap “Finish” and return to the update screen to see if all devices for the operation have the latest firmware. If not, repeat the above steps until all updates are complete.

Joystick Calibration

If the remote controller is not used for an extended period of time, or when you fly the drone with the remote controller, and notice that the aircraft will fly toward a certain direction once you release the joysticks or if turns red, you will need to calibrate the joysticks. Please tap “Joystick Calibration” on “System Settings” screen, and follow the steps below to calibrate the joysticks manually.

How to Calibrate:

1. When the remote controller is in calibration mode, turns flashing green, and please keep the joysticks in the center for 3 seconds.
2. Move both joysticks to the far end in four directions (forward, backward, left and right) simultaneously.
3. Keep the joysticks in the center for 3 seconds. When turns off, the calibration is completed.

Start Motors

• Before take-off, you can start the motors by performing the following two joystick maneuvers.
• If the throttle is not applied within 3 seconds after releasing the joysticks, the motors will stop automatically.

Warning

• Do NOT push the joysticks to start motors while the drone is flying because it will stop the motors and cause the drone to crash.

Stop Motors

• After landing, pull and hold the throttle to the lowest position and the motors will stop after 1 second.

Hover & RTH

• When the drone is flying, short press on the remote controller to make the drone hover. Press and hold to resume the operation.
• When the drone is flying, press and hold to perform RTH.

Note

• If the joystick malfunctions or the drone becomes uncontrollable, press the Hover button to make the drone hover, and then press the RTH button to bring it back.
