Quick-Start Guide6
Congratulations on your purchase of the xCraft Maverick SE drone
package! Once the Maverick SE is received, here are the rst steps
for starting a test ight and conrming your setup is fully operational.
Test Flight
The Maverick SE drone is powered up as soon as battery is attached
and clicked into place. Once the drone is on, set it on the ground and
hold the power button on the controller. The controller and the drone
will automatically connect.
Now the drone will be nding the GPS lock, wait until the GPS lights
start blinking blue (notifying the gps lock on the drone), and then
arm.
To arm the drone, ip the arming switch labeled on the controller up.
the propellers will start to rotate at this time.
Once that is all complete, you can now start to y your drone.

Quick-Start Guide7 8
Screen Options and Indoor Flight
Now that the drone ight test is complete, let’s go through the screen,
FPV attachment, and indoor ight options.
If the screen is wanted during ight,connect the antennas and just
hold the “on” button and it will automatically connect to the drone
camera. (Make sure the drone is already on). You can also see the
satellites used for GPS lock in the bottom left corner of the screen. To
use the FPV goggles, simply attach the screen to the headset and it
will automatically switch to FPV mode.
Since GPS lock is quite hard to receive most places indoors, you
need to force arm without GPS lock to y. For this, bring the left stick
down to the bottom right where the label says “force arm” and then
ip the regular arming switch at the top right. Your drone is now good
to y.

Quick-Start Guide8
Charging and Micro SD
To charge the drone battery, take the power cube and included wires
from the case. Take out the battery from the drone, and connect it as
shown. To test the charge on the battery, press the red button labeled
“test” on the back of the battery and the percentage will be shown.
To save anything taken using the camera, a micro SD card will need
to be installed into the front of the drone near the camera.
