PHANTOM QuickStartManual
Introduction
The PHANTOM is an all-in-one small Quad Copter designed for multi-rotor enthusiasts. Before shipping from the
factory it has been configured and fully tested which means you have no set-up or configuration to do.

Flight Test
1) Make sure the LiPo battery is fully charged.
2) Lower the throttle stick to the bottom position and turn on the TX.
3) After you have turned on the TX for 2sec install the battery and connect
it to the battery connector of the multi rotor to power on the PHANTOM.
4) Tx and Rx should now be linking. The LED indicator on the TX will
change to blinking red (about 1 sec). When the linking is successful the LED
indicator on the TX will change to solid red.
5) Turn the Tx IOC mode to OFF. Switch the mode control switch on the Tx
to make sure it works properly refer to the LED indicator on the multi rotor.
6) Execute the CSC Command (see right) and raise the throttle stick slowly.
Make sure the ESC’s work properly and the rotation direction of the motors is
the same as the marks. The direction LED lights indicate: nose is red and the
tail is green they will turn off if the motors stop.
7) Ready to fly.
8) Switch the Tx control mode switch to ATTI. Mode and then lightly move
the Tx sticks in Roll Pitch and Yaw to feel if the aircraft moves in the
corresponding direction.
9) Take off the multi rotor in ATTI. Mode.
10) Finish and land the multi rotor.
Start and Stop Motors: You have to
execute any one of the following four
Combination Stick Commands (CSC)
Note：In Atti /GPS Atti. Mode any one of
the following will stop the motors: Not
raising the throttle stick within 3 seconds
after the motors start. Throttle stick under
10% and after landing for 3 seconds. The
angle of the multi-rotor is over 70° and
throttle stick under 10%.
ESC (motor controller) State
Ready: ♪1234567
Throttle stick is not at bottom: BBBBBB…
Input signal abnormal: B--------B…
Input voltage abnormal:BB---BB…
Note:
Please always switch on the transmitter first then power on the quad-rotor before takeoff! Power off the quad-rotor first and
then switch off the transmitter after landing!
After powering on and before the motors start if the multi rotor LED double blinks yellow without Tx stick movement you should
power cycle the multi rotor.
If the multi rotor LED flashes quickly Red then this indicates battery voltage is low please land ASAP.
The multi rotor will automatically hover (or return home if in GPS mode) if the fail safe mode is active.
We recommend that you take off the multi rotor in ATTI. Mode. Manual mode is very sensitive.

GPS Flight Test
Carry out the compass calibration
1) Enter calibration mode: quickly switch the control mode switch from
Manual Mode to GPS Atti. Mode for 6 to 10 times The LED indicator will
turn on constantly yellow.
2) Rotate your multi rotor around the horizontal axis until the LED
changes to constant green then go to the next step
3) Hold your multi rotor vertically and rotate it around its vertical axis
keep rotating until the LED turns off meaning the calibration is finished.
Aircraft Nose
4) The LED indicator will show whether the calibration was successful or not.
If the calibration was successful calibration mode will exit automatically.
If the LED keeps flashing quickly Red the calibration has failed. Switch the control mode switch one
time to cancel the current calibration and then re-start from step 1.
If you keep having calibration failure it might suggest that there is very strong magnetic interference around
the GPS & Compass module please avoid flying in this area.
Flight Procedure
1) Switch to GPS ATTI. Mode.
2) The LED flashing Red indicates that the
PHANTOM is still acquiring GPS satellite signals wait
until the red LED is off meaning the PHANTOM has
found more than 7 GPS satellites.
3) Switch the system to ATTI. Mode and take off.
4) Hover and switch to GPS ATTI. Mode.
5) Finish and land the multi rotor.
Note:
After powering on and before the motors start if the
LED double flashes Green without Tx stick movement
you should power cycle the multi rotor.
In GPS mode the multi rotor will go home if the fail safe
mode is active.
If the LED lights Red please hover the aircraft until it
turns off so as to have better flight performance.
