CARE & MAINTENANCE
NOTICE
The XV-7 Microlite II battery comes partially charged and is ready to fly. Skip to Remote
Control Battery Installation section and use your Microlite now. Use this charge
completely before charging the XV-7 Microlite II battery for the first time.
WE RECOMMEND!
When charging with the included USB cable the LED light will off, indicating it is
charging. Once charging is complete, the LED light will turn on and be red. The
charging time for the battery is approximately 1.5 hours.
• Do not submerge the unit in any liquids.
• Keep the unit dry.
• Disconnect the unit and monitor from USB power sources when not in use.
• Do not place the unit near powerful, un-shielded magnets.
• Do not expose the unit to extreme hot or cold temperatures.
• Do not hit, drop, or smash the unit with extreme force.
• Do not disassemble the unit for any reason.
NOT FOLLOWING THESE PRECAUTIONS WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
Connect the battery’s power cable to the end of the USB charging cable. Then connect the USB end of the
charging cable to a USB port like on a computer. Please note: Not all USB ports provide power. Typically,
only ports mounted on a computer and not through a peripheral will provide enough power for charging.
After charging the battery, charge the monitor in the same manner using the USB cable for the monitor.

conditions before attempting to fly outside or with faster speeds.
1. Try to do simple rotation
maneuvers in a small area.
3. Try to fly the XV-7 Microlite II within
a box while staying straight.
2. Try to land the XV-7 Microlite
II in a specific landing zone.
4. Try to fly the unit straight
forwards, backwards and
from side to side without
deviating from a straight line.

TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
TRIM ADJUSTMENT ON THE RADIO CONTROL TRANSMITTER
Correct trim adjustment is required for error and erractic-free flying of the quad-
copter. The adjustment is simple to do on the radio control transmitter, but it
requires some patience. Please follow the instructions precisely. For best results,
move the throttle up and raise the quadcopter approximately 2-3 feet (0.5-1 meter)
in altitude.
If the quadcopter moves by itself slowly or quickly to the left or right:
Press the trim control for SIDE MOVEMENT incrementally in the opposite
direction of movement
If the quadcopter moves by itself slowly or quickly around its own axis:
Press the trim control for ROTATION incrementally in the opposite direction
of movement
If the quadcopter moves by itself slowly or quickly forwards or backwards:
Press the trim control for FORWARDS AND BACKWARDS flight incrementally in the
opposite direction of movement
Check to make sure the power switch is in the ON position. If set to OFF, move to the ON position.
Check to make sure the batteries are installed correctly. Check to make sure they match the polarity markings.
If the batteries are installed correctly, they may be exhausted. Replace with new and fresh batteries.
If there isn’t any accurate control of the vehicle, make sure of the following:
• Make sure the radio control transmitter is set to the ON position
• Make sure the battery on the vehicle is installed correctly
• The vehicle may fly erratically if wind conditions are too strong. Fly the vehicle under calm conditions.
• Make sure the radio control transmitter has paired correctly with the vehicle. If not, power down the
vehicle and the radio control and start over.
The rotor speed may be too slow to lift the quadcopter sufficiently. Make sure the throttle is being raised
sufficiently. If the unit still does not go up or goes up too slowly, the battery of the quadcopter might be too
discharged for safe or satisfactory operation. Charge the battery before continuing to fly the unit.
If the unit fails to go up in altitude or goes up too slowly, try the following:
Landing the unit takes skill and practice. If the unit comes down too fast, it may damage the landing gear and/or the
quadcopter. Try to ease the unit down in altitude by slowly lowering the throttle stick till the unit is on the ground.

FLYING SAFE • BE AWARE OF YOUR ENVIRONMENT and SURROUNDINGS
TECHNICAL SPECFICATIONS & PARAMETERS
CAUTIONS & WARNINGS
If flying outdoors, always fly on a sunny, bright day with as
little wind as possible. Flying in extreme heat or cold can
adversely affect your flying control and response of the
vehicle.
After connecting the battery, lay the XV-7 Microlite II on the
ground. Please wait for approximately 5-7 seconds to allow
the digital gyro to electronically stabilize. Push the throttle
up and then back down to pair the radio control
transmitter to the XV-7 Microlite II. The lights will stop
blinking and now you are all set to fly.
Charging Time: Approximately 90 minutes
Flying Time: Approximately above 6-9 minutes
Radio Control monitor viewing distance limit: approx. 75-100 meters

PREPARING YOUR UNIT BEFORE FLYING
The throttle stick (left stick on the radio control) must be pointing down before the unit and the control are switched on.
Move the ON/OFF switch to the ON position and the Power LED on the radio control will begin to blink.
Connect the battery cable to the power connector on the vehicle. The LEDs on the vehicle will now begin to blink. Place the
quadcopter on the ground with the tail pointed towards you (the two red propellers are the rear of the vehicle). The
quadcopter needs approximately 5 to 7 seconds to initialize and electronically stabilize the gyro. It will also pair with the
radio control transmitter at this time. When the LEDs on the vehicle stay green without blinking, the pairing of the radio
control and the quadcopter has been established.
Be sure to place the quadcopter on a level surface to ensure a proper and neutral alignment of the gyro.
