Operation Method
3. Preparation Before Flying
3.1 Calibration
Calibration is necessary in any of the following cases:
1. First time use of the drone.
2. Following sustained flight in ATTI mode.
3. If, when pushing up the THROTTLE joystick, without moving the right
(AIRLERON) joystick, and the drone drifts at an angle, while in ATTI mode.
4. If the drone has been subjected to heavy shaking during transportation.
5. If, following a successful compass calibration, the motors do unlock, but the
red LED stays on solid when trying to start up the motors.
Accelerometer Calibration Steps:
1.Place the drone on a horizontal surface, power on the controller, followed by
the drone, after hearing a “DI” tone, switch to “Return-Home” mode on the
controller.
2. Place the left joystick into the right lower corner(45°) position, and the right
joystick into the upper right corner(45°) position.
3. Maintain the above gesture for 2 seconds, until the light changes to a fast
flashing red (blinking). The drone then enters into its accelerometer calibration
process. Wait until the light stops blinking, and goes to a slow red flash, now
release the joysticks. The accelerometer calibration is now complete.
Calibration is necessary in below cases:
1. Before flying drone for the first time.
2. If 100KM or more away from the last compass calibration location.
3. The drone has been crashed/dropped by accident.
4. The drone keeps swaying / drifting during flight.
5. If the drone has incurred or was subjected to a heavy shaking during
transportation.
6. If the RED light stays on, and the motors can’t be unlocked.
3.1.2 Compass Calibration
Please Note: It is recommended to calibrate the compass at the proposed
ying area before ying. Flying anywhere close to any magnetic
interference is HIGHLY DISCOURAGED. (Please make sure to keep far away
from the following: High-Voltage transmission power lines, Emitting base
stations, metal objects, etc.)
1. Place the drone onto a horizontal surface, power on
the controller, and then power on the drone. After the
“DI” sound, fast flick the mode switch from GPS-Smart
Cruise-ATTI and ATTI-Smart Cruise-GPS, when the yellow
light is on, the system enters into compass calibration.
2. Hold the drone horizontally, rotate counter clockwise
until the green LED light turns on.
3. Swing the drone to a vertical plane, with the nose
pointing downward, rotate the drone counter clockwise
until the LED changes to a blinking red-green-yellow,
indicating the completion of the calibration. If the
calibration procedure failed, the RED light will be on for 3
seconds, you will need to redo the calibration. (It may be
necessary to do a six-sided calibration if the two-sided
calibration will not successfully calibrate, for more
information, please refer to the manual.)
1. Place the drone in an open area at least 3 meters away from you, or others.
2. Put the Return Home mode switch in the Normal position, and the flight
mode switch into either GPS or ATTI mode, and then power on the remote
control.
3. Make sure that each part of the drone is connected properly. And the
propellers are installed correctly
When the drone is powered on, the drone will do a self-check, and when
complete, it will issue a "DI" sound.
Note: While the drone is completing its self-check, please keep the drone
stationary.
4. If ATTI mode is selected, there is no need to wait, you can unlock the motors
and proceed to takeoff and fly immediately, however, in GPS mode, it is
necessary to wait until the number of satellites is a minimum of 9, before
attempting to unlock the motors.
Unlocking: Pull both the left and right joysticks simultaneously towards the
inner side of the lower side, at an angle of 45 degrees, and maintain this
position for 3 seconds, the motors will now be unlocked, and will start rotating.
To lock the motors: Pull both the left and the right joysticks outwards to the
lower sides at an angle of 45 degrees to stop , and lock the motors.
1. Pull the throttle stick to lowest position until the drone land on the ground,
wait 2-3 seconds, the motor will be locked.
2. Power off the drone, and then power off the controller.
2. Power on the Bluetooth datalink module, switch on the GPS and Bluetooth on
your smartphone. Find the corresponding Bluetooth Link (e.g: UAV-2…) and link
it (Note: when the bluetooth is linked, the blue light on the Bluetooth datalink
module will stop blinking).
3. Run the “Swellpro Fly” APP, click the Bluetooth icon to link the device (UAV..).
When it links, you will see the drone parameters on the screen, e.g battery
voltage, GPS coordinates, height, distance, GPS signal etc.
6.1 How to use
1. Download Swellpro Fly App into your iPhone. Or download the APK from
www.swellpro.com for your Android phone.
6. APP CONTROL
5. The APP allows you to start flying the drone, land, ascend, hover, return home,
flight path setting, follow me and point to fly.
6. Fight path setting:
a). click “+”, click the map to set the flight point, you will see all the selected flight
points on the bottom of the screen. You can delete them.
b). Click below the flight point, you can choose the height, hovering time and
other options. Save and click “Run”, the drone will start flying according to the
set path.
4. Once you have a minimum of 9 GPS satellites, you can unlock the drone and
start flying with controller, or use the APP to unlock the motors and start flying.
7. Follow Me: The target (to be followed) should carry the Bluetooth Datalink
and the (connected) smart phone, the drone recognizes the GPS coordinates of
the smartphone. Press the “Follow Me” button, the drone will then start
following.
8. Point-to-Fly: Click the “Point-to-Fly” button, and then click the target point
on the map, the drone will start flying to the point and hover there.

Follow Me Note:
1. The APP control needs to have a good wireless communication
environment, if you see the drone does not respond to your order, it
might be subjected to interference, please try again.
2. If the drone continually fails to respond to your APP commands,
please use the controller to operate the drone. Just switch the ight
mode switch for one single operation; the controller will take over the
control of the drone.
3. The Bluetooth data link module is paired with the corresponding
module onboard the drone. Normally, it won’t link to other drones.
When you see many drones or Bluetooth datalink units working in the
same place, please make sure you link to the right drone.
