Step 1 - Set Fixed ID on the transmitter
Skip this part if you have a brand new Storm Drone 6 GPS,
we have already done before we ship.
!
Make sure you have NOTHING plugged into BATT port on the RX701 receiver.
On the transmitter, goto MODEL > FIXED ID, press ENT, if it is showing the code, then
press ENT again, press one more time, it's showing RUN, press "R" to choose NO, press
ENT again, it's showing FIXID, press "R" again to choose OFF, then press EXT, and turn o
transmitter.
Plug the bind plug into Batt port on the RX701 receiver, with this plug still in BATT port
and power up the drone, you will see receiver ashing red slowly, then means old code
has been erased, unplug drone battery and remove this bind plug.
Now you need to activate the Fixed ID function.
Turn on transmitter, then make sure Throttle Stick is all the way down, all trimming is
neutral, both corner FMOD switch and Throttle Switch is o (pointing backward) and all
switches on the transmitter pointing upward, then turn o transmitter.
Connect drone battery, the receiver will start ashing, place drone on at surface.
Turn on transmitter, you should see black box running on the transmitter screen, do no
touch anything or you will break the searching mode.
Do not touch anything (around 7-10 seconds) until transmitter stop ashing and you will
see the RX701 receiver have solid light, that means binding has completed.
On the transmitter, goto MODEL > FIXED ID, turn it ON, then press DN button to conrm
the code, then press ENT, and press ENT again to conrm, it will ask you to RUN, choose
YES and press ENT. From now on your receiver is bound to this memory on your DEVO 7.
Now, you can turn the both the Heli or TX on and o at anytime and they will instantly bind
when both are ON together.
Of course it is safer to never turn the TX o before the Heli, but if you do, the Heli will again
bind if the TX is turned on.

Step 3 - How to start the Storm Drone 6 GPS?
Put drone in open ground, leveled surface.
Make sure no tall buildings blocking GPS signals.
Make sure throttle stick is lowest, and FMOD switch is at 0 Position, and MIX switch is also
at 0 Position.
Turn on transmitter, and connect drone battery.
Once drone is powered on, it should have ashing LED, please refer to NAZA manual
about what the LED means, that tells you the drone’s status.
Wait until drone is ashing green slowly, that means GPS signal reception is very good.
Very Important!! Wait a little longer until you see green light ashing quickly for 13
times, that means Home Point has bee recorded on the ground. If you don’t wait for
this and y, the drone will record Home Point in mid air and bad thing will happen.
Move Left stick to Lower Left, move Right stick to Lower Right to unlock Throttle.
Now rotors should be spinning.
During rotors are spinning, you can add throttle to lift o.
When drone is in mid-air, you can control the throttle stick to make it go up or down.

Very Important!! If you see drone slighly tilt to one side during start up, try applying
some Elevator and Aileron stick to compensate it, because NAZA Gyro readings are
not leveled, just leave the drone on leveled ground for few minutes, NAZA Gyro will
regain level readings and drone will become more and more stable, it will not tilt to
one side and lift straight up.
However, when you start the drone it wants to tip over quickly, that means some-
thing went wrong, SHUT DOWN throttle asap and contact us for this situation.
We suspect the NAZA Gyro readings are disrupted, maybe by transportation, maybe
by electronic device, will need to connect drone to computer to check readings.

FAQ

Nothing happened when I unlock throttle?
Connect drone to NAZA Software, in the “Command Sticks Calibration” section, check the
R, E and A box, see any of those boxes not Green color? If yes, NAZA Gyro will think your
stick not neutral yet, try trimming the transmitter to move the box that is oset back to
central again. Once NAZA know the R, E and A box are green, it will allow you to unlock
throttle.
Q.
A.
What is ATTI mode?
ATTI mode means drone is ying with Altitude Sensor only, no GPS sensor.
If you are ying in urban area with tall buildings, we recommend you y with ATTI mode
instead of GPS mode. To switch into ATTI mode, switch the FMD switch to position 1.
Drone LED will be ashing Yellow slowly, this is ATTI mode.
Q.
A.
How to Auto Return Home?
NAZA will record home point automatically after you power on the drone for 1 minute,
you should see it ashes Green quickly, that means home point is record.
So when you are ying you want it to go home, simply turn o the transmitter, it will
enter Fail Safe mode, it will come back to the home point and land.
For more details about Fail Safe function, please read the NAZA manual.
Auto Go Home is a fail-safe feature, it meant to bring back the
drone when thing goes bad, player should not rely on this func-
tion to land the drone.
NEVER perform a Auto Return Home when low battery, because
Auto Return Home requires 100% motor output, if your battery is
low, the motors will stall during the drone decend and result a
ip-over and crash!! Always time your ight, always reserve power
for every landing.
Q.
A.
How long can Storm Drone 6 GPS y?
With full loading (GoPro 3 + FPV Transmitter), we ew 4 minutes with 11.1V 2500mah
battery, and 8 Minutes when we parelled 2 X 11.1V 2500mah battery together, that
means 5000mah gives 8 minutes of ight time.

How to control Tilt angle of Tarot T-2D Gimbal on Storm Drone 6?
You need to make a very special cable. Prepare your forceps, use the included White Red
Black cable from T-2D Package then make a cable like this :
By default, we set the DEVO 7 AUX2 Knob as the Tilt control, however, you should see we
plugged something into AUX2 already, don’t worry, that is useless for you, so please
remove the old plug on AUX2, and plug the “B” plug into the AUX2 port onto the RX701
receiver, the Red wire is facing the sticker side.
