uration is selected.
Despite of all automatic functions and safety technology, the operator is the
sole responsible person for the safe flight and the final takeoff decision.
Any automatic function is based on the analysis of the output data of several
sensors, for example compass, GPS or barometer. These sensors may provide
inaccurate or wrong values through external effects, for example distur-
bances/abnormalities in the magnetic field of the earth or GPS interferences.
Aibot X6 V2, Safety Directions 11
If you discover this kind of disturbance during a flight execution in an assisted
flight, immediately follow the procedures published in this manual.
WLAN interference The Aibot X6 V2 may not carry any WLAN enabled equipment. This restriction
includes cellphones or similar devices.
Anything operating wirelessly on other frequencies may only be used with the
express written consent of Aibotix. If you ignore this warning, any warranty will
be void.
Many modern cameras are equipped with WLAN capabilities.
The WLAN capabilities of the accessories must be checked beforehand and
turned off during flight. If you experience any difficulties, contact Aibotix.

General Read and follow the provided RC Transmitter User Manual. This chapter
provides additional product-specific information to operate the Aibot X6 V2.
CAUTION Adjustment of Trim
A trim adjustment of the joysticks can lead to unfamiliar steering behaviour and
crash. By default, the adjustment of the trim is deactivated.
Precautions:
• Do not change the trim by yourself.
• If you want to change the trim or if you changed the trim unintentionally,
contact Aibotix service.
Safety • Read and follow the RC transmitter manual and safety instructions
provided on the USB flash drive or in print.
• Do not change the firmware or software; Aibotix does not accept liability
for damage due to RC transmitter modification if not advised to do so.
• Do not use the teacher-/student mode unless you have the instruction and
permission by Aibotix. There is a high risk of misusing this function which
may lead to a crash landing of the system.
Charging Charging the RC transmitter with the included charger may take up to 15 hours.
Do not use third party chargers or plugs designed for other battery types. The
RC transmitter must be turned off during the whole time of the charging
process. Never switch on the RC transmitter while it is connected to the battery
charger.
State of charge can only be checked when battery charger is disconnected.
2.3.2 Configuration of the RC Transmitter
Stick modes The RC Transmitter can be used in two different stick configurations. In Aibotix
trainings and in all documents, stick mode 2 is used by default.
• In stick mode 1, the throttle is on the right side of the RC transmitter.
• In stick mode 2, the throttle is on the left side of the RC transmitter.
It is only allowed to operate the Aibot X6 V2 in stick mode 2.
By default the system comes already configured with stick mode 2.
Before takeoff, check if stick mode 2 is selected:
1) Press the SET-key to open the general menu.
2) Select the submenu “base setup model”.
3) Navigate to “Stick mode”. If stick mode is already 2, leave the menu by
