13.You can activate the fail safe function on your tansmitter, set AILE, ELEV, THRO, and RUDD stick to its
central position, and assign the F/S to activate “GPS positioning” and “HOME” function for further protection.
Note
1.This product is NOT a toy, please keep away from crowd and buildings while flying.
2.Do not use this product for illegal purposes, or shall be responsible for breaking the law .
3.For your safety, please remove the propellers before setup and calibration procedures.
4.The throttle calibration procedure is very importnat (P.6), it calibrates not only the signals of ESC, but
also central position of the transmitter. Therefore, do not move other sticks or switches except throttle
stick; if you change the transmitter, make sure you execute the throttle calibration procedures.
5.The calibration of magnetic north and due north needs to be done throughly (P.14), or the 500X will slant or
circle under GPS positioning mode..
6.Under GPS positioning mode, all movements of the 500X are based on the speed signals of GPS.
Therefore, if the GPS signal is bad or interfered, the 500X will become uncontrollable. If so, please
switch back to auto-balance mode.
7.Do not insert the GPS antenna indoor, the 500X will become uncontrollable due to bad signal reception.
(You can still apply altitude maintaining function under GPS positioning mode as long as you unplug the
GPS antenna.)
8.Fly the 500X in an open area, and keep away from buildings. The GPS signal might be interfered due to
signal refraction from buildings.
9.Under GPS positioning mode, please keep the 500X away from magnetic materials, such as hovering
above the iron plate, the magnetometer inside the GU-INS will be interfered and result in instable of
heading.
10.Keep the GU-INS away from magnetic materials (irons, screws, motor and magnet), those will interfere
the GU-INS. (The screws of GU-INS are made of copper.)
11.If the 500X can not make a 360 degree turn, it reprents that the magnetometer of GU-INS is interfered.
Please keep away from sources of interference or execute the calibration process. (Please visit GAUI
official website for detail information.)
14.You can download the latest firmware from the official website of GAUI.
12.When the wind is getting stronger, we suggest to take off and land with auto-balance mode. Under GPS
positioning mode, altitude maintaining function would be interfered by change of air pressure. Therefore,
it would be more dangerous while the 500X is close to the ground.

6.Then confirm the LED light of “MODE” and “GPS” in each fly mode; pay attention to the functionality of each
switch position (as illustrated).
You can also connect 1~2 satellite receiver instead of standard receiver, 6 channel connection cable is
unnecessary while using satellite receiver. While setting the transmitter, please assign the functions
(Home, Mode, etc) to the 2 or 3 positions switch and levers, and confirm again how it works according
to the status of the LED lights.

4.When the GU-INS has found more than
five satellites, the LED light of “GPS” will turn
solid green. We recommand to wait one more
minute.
5.You can verify how many satellites are received by
pressing the buttom and count the number of LED
flashes(as illustrated).
6.Switch to “GPS positioning” mode, the LED light will
turn solid green (as illustrated).
7.The definition of throttle stick under “GPS
positioning” mode is as illustrated above.

16.Z gain is used for adjusting the gain value of altitude, it may be affected by wind or air pressure, thus
we recommand to adjust it to central position (as illustrated).
17.The 500X can decend slowly to the ground
under GPS positioning mode.
18.The propellers would not stop until switched back
to “Auto-balance” or “Manual” mode.
19.You can also land by switching to “Auto-balance” or “Manual” mode in the air.

Go-Home Function
1.While just starting the GPS system, the “Home” position may be within a radius of 5m.
2.By increasing the numbers of satellites received
and wait for convergence of signal, the precision
may increase to be within a radius of 2m.
3.Then press “SET” buttom under GPS positioning
mode will make the “Home” position setting to be
.
more accurate. (LED light of “SET” flashes.)
4.When you move the 500X away to a new location, and would like to reset “Home” position,
just press “SET” bottom under GPS positioning mode to reset “Home” position.

Go-Home Function
5.When switching to “Home” function, the 500X will turn its head
toward “Home” location and start returning to “Home” position.
If its altitude is more than 10m, it will decend to 10m height after
arriving at “Home” position. If its altitude is below 10m, it will
maintain altitude and hover. You can still give orders like yaw or
decend while the 500X is returning to “Home” position.
6.If you would like to operate after returning to “Home” position,
remember to switch back to “Manual” or “Auto-balance” mode.

Low Voltage Protection
2.If you connect the battery to the 500X first, then insert the plug, the low voltage protection
function will not be activated, but the voltage will be shown on the OSD.
3.No matter which kinds of batteries
you use (2~4S), insert the plug to
the second cell (positive pole) of
the balance plug.
4.Due to the variation in performance among different
batteries, you will be able to adjust the activated voltage
for low voltage protection function.
1.When you first insert the plug to the second cell (positive pole) of the balance plug of battery,
and then connect the battery to the 500X, the low voltage protection function will be activated.
(LED light of SET turn solid.)
