Personal Responsibility To Drone Maintenance
As a drone owner it is your personal responsibility to maintain the drone for safe operation and ensure you
calibrate the compass whenever you have moved to a new location. Failure to check your drone could result in
erratic flying and a crash. Make sure you read the Maintenance section on page 24.
Wind Speed
Never attempt to fly the drone in winds where you have no experience. Start flying your drone on a calm day. Then
gradually fly it in higher winds and gain experience slowly. Our recommendation is to avoid flying in wind speeds
greater than 30kph or 17knots.
Pilot Ability
The more you use the drone, the better your flying skills will become. Practice in ATTI mode to upskill yourself.
ATTI Mode provides no position hold or GPS assistance. Unfortunately, no GPS system is 100% reliable, so in the
event of a GPS glitch, magnetic or signal interference you will need to MANUALLY pilot the drone home without
the aid of GPS MODE by selecting ATTI Mode.
A useful APP is UAV forecast - this APP tells you if the GPS satellite signal will be good or bad.

@2020 iDFTECH 5
Propeller Safety
The Poseidon PRO uses carbon bre as the composition material for the propellers, providing great strength and
it also improves the flight characteristics of the drone. The carbon bre composition material used is very hard
and can cause signicant injury to persons or animals – please always be aware and keep clear of the spinning
blades.
When updating rmware for the flight controller, make sure the propellers are removed from the aircraft to prevent
injury to you and others.
Prior to any flight, carefully inspect all propellers. If a propeller is damaged (Even slightly damaged) - replace the
propeller immediately. Do not attempt to fly the aircraft with a damaged propeller as this can cause the aircrafts
stability to deteriorate or become unmanageable, resulting in the potential loss of the drone and/or causing
personal injury.
Make sure that all propellers are installed in the correct order as per the manual’s instructions.
This quadcopter can be extremely dangerous and could cause personal injury. Be careful when flying and
operating it. Please follow the contents of this manual and comply with your relevant local laws and regulations
when flying.
Before each flight, please ensure that all parts of the aircraft are properly installed and that the order of rotation of the four motors
are in accordance with the rotation sequence in this manual. The aircraft will not be able to fly and/or may cause damage to the aircraft
if the ‘propellers’ are installed incorrectly.
The lithium batteries should be removed from the aircraft after each flight. When not in use, the lithium batteries should be placed
in a reproof pouch or container and stored in a cool environment to avoid accidents. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
We strongly recommend you use a flight simulator to practice flying rst. When flying, please fly in open areas and
not indoors, and ensure you fully understand the aircrafts different flight modes.
When flying in GPS mode, should you nd that the aircraft is flying unstably or uncontrollably, please switch the flight
mode to attitude mode to regain full control of the aircraft to avoid accidents.
When flying in GPS mode, please make sure that the GPS has 3D positioning (GPS 3D positioning is conrmed when
red LED status light flashes 6 or more times). After the GPS 3D has conrmed position and the motor is unlocked, the
aircraft will record the current position as the return point. When the return mode is activated, the drone will fly back to the
return point and land automatically.
Pay attention to distinguish the front and back of the drone by the red marks on the 2 arms of the quadcopter
representing the front.

a. Always select areas without high-rise building and stay away from strong magnetic environments such as
car parks and power poles
b. Turn the remote control on and then the drone
c. Select the (SWB) switch to the top position
d. The LED red light flashes into the search star status and wait for the LED red light to flash 6 times. When
the red light stops flashing the GPS is enabled and successfully positioned
e. In this mode the aricraft will hold position in hover mode when joysticks are returned to central position
When flying in GPS mode, should you nd that the aircraft is flying unstably or uncontrollably, please switch the flight mode to
attitude mode to regain full control of the aircraft to avoid accidents. Return aircraft and re calibrate compass.

2. Attitude mode (SWB switch in the middle position)
When the remote-control switch mode (SWB) switch is set to the attitude stabilization mode position, the
stick is unlocked, and the throttle midpoint is taken up. due to the advanced algorithm of DJI NAZA-M-V2
flight control. In indoor or windless environment, it is easy to hover or to set a high manoeuvring flight without
controlling the throttle stick.
When the flight control ‘attitude’ stabilization mode is enabled, the GPS module provides no assistance.
3. Return mode (SWB switch in the bottom position)
When the motor is started for the rst time, the main controller will record this position as the return point. If
the aircraft is more than 10 meters away from home, the aircraft will automatically rise to 20 meters and return.
4. Intelligent Direction Control Mode (SWC-IDC Switch)
If you turn on the IDC function, be sure to know the flight forward (heading locked flight) and the return point
(the return point locked flight).
There are two methods, automatic recording and manual recording for recording the forward and return points
of the flight - one of them can be used. When the heading/return point is recorded, the LED is successfully
recorded with a flashing green light.
When manually recording the forward and return points, do not switch between closing and return point lock, which may
cause the heading lock to be re-recorded.

First Flight Checklist
This Training Manual will assist you with your
rst flight only and does not take the place
of your manual or the instructional videos.
Ensure you have read and understood the
videos and manual. Ensure you always have
the manual with you for reference.
Before You Attempt to Fly
• Fully understand the dangers of LiPo batteries
• Fully understand the CASA rules and make sure the location you are flying in is not restricted – If you fail to
comply to your State or Countries drone regulations you may suffer large nes or maybe worse if you injure
or kill someone. – You are responsible – Be Responsible.
• Understand the flight modes – GPS, ATTI mode and RTL ‘Return to home’ and fully understand what
happens and how it performs in each flight mode.
• Read the manual fully and watch the instructional videos
• If it is possible, use a drone flight simulator to get some virtual flight time before flying if you have never
flown a drone before, or buy a cheap $100 drone and practice, practice, practice.
First Flight Checklist
• Ensure you have downloaded the IDFTECH App and setup the App as per the user manual and videos
directions
• Check the remote controller and drone batteries are fully charged
• Make sure the wind is low – 15 kph or less when learning
• Check the propellers are not damaged – even the slightest damage can have catastrophic consequences
• Check all battery connections and battery voltages
• Flying Site – Situational Awareness
• Have at least 30M of space around you the pilot
• Stay 50M to 100M away from any people or animals
• Avoid obstacles like trees and buildings, metals, magnets, power lines etc
• Be careful on rocks – some rocks contain Iron Ore that can interfere with the compass

@2020 iDFTECH 19
Taking Your First Flight
Always use a Drone Landing Pad or Mat – the bigger the better like the OANNES 130cm Landing Pad or
OANNES 1.8m X 1.8M Beach Landing Mat.
Powerup Procedure
Always turn the remote controller on rst and then the craft.
Connect APP
Keep the craft totally still on power up – (THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT)
Connect App and push the Orange button on the App to Sync the drone to the App – ‘Check Successful’ will
display on the screen and the camera view should also be displayed.
Calibrate the Drone
When calibrating, make sure you have no keys, phones, metals in pockets and ensure you are away from cars
and buildings. Calibrate the Poseidon Pro as per the manual instructions and Watch the Calibration Video.
Arming the Motors
Before arming the motors ensure you have 3D GPS conrmation at the top of the APP and at least 10 satellites
are displayed. Check the battery life display on the Remote Controller LCD screen for remote battery life and the
APP Display for the drone’s battery life.
Arm the motors by holding down both joysticks down and inwards or down and outwards as per the instruction
manual diagrams.
Always check and double check that the GPS lid arrow is facing forward of the drone – failure to do so will result
in a catastrophic accident.
When you rst launch the drone make sure to hover the drone at 10 metres to make sure it is behaving correctly –
if not, land the drone and re-do the compass calibration.
Never launch the drone if the drone battery life displays at 25% or the remote Controller battery is below half.
Always take off vertically to 10 metres and hover to test the drone is behaving correctly – if not, carefully land
the drone and re calibrate the compass -If the drone is behaving correctly - take it to a height of 20 – 25metres.
Flight Training Exercises
Whilst in a hover at 20-25 metres learn how the sticks on the remote controller are moved and position the
drone – use very gentle fluid motions – over time your stick control will improve.
1. Point the craft in the desired direction by using the rudder (Left stick)
2. Achieve forward flight by pushing the right stick lightly forward and slow the craft down by gently releasing
the right stick slowly and avoid making the craft stop suddenly by sudden incorrect stick releasing.
3. Fly the craft sideways using the right stick left and right and use the same fluid stick control.
The craft will hover in one place when all control sticks are in the middle position. If it hovers in a circle or
surges up and down - Re-do compass calibration immediately – If you cannot calibrate the drone abort and relocate
to a different area. Download the APP UAV Forecast – This useful App will display the best days to fly and GPS signal
strength on that day.

@2020 iDFTECH
20
The craft will descend when the left throttle stick is below halfway
• Gradually and slowly reduce height
• Always slow the drone down to eye level before landing the craft gently
On touch down or at a height of 10 centimetres above the ground level, disarm the motors by either holding
both sticks down and inwards, or down and outwards and try to make sure that both sticks are moved at the
same time – Always hold the sticks down until the motors completely stop.
Landing The Craft
Always commit to a motor disarm – That is, if you have commenced motor dis-arming never abort the disarm –
You must commit to disarm no matter what happens. Incidents occur such as - You have committed to a motor disarm
and a gust of wind moves the drone – Commit to Disarm as failure to do this could result in damage to the motors and or
propellers.
Once the drone has landed and the motors have completely stopped, turn the drone off and then turn off the
remote control in this sequence.
Always fly in GPS mode - SWB switch in the top position
Never Dis-Arm the craft whilst in the air – Unless a collision is un-avoidable. By disarming the propellers
before a collision may save the Motors from damage.
