Battery Preparation
Please charge to activate intelligent flight battery before using for the first time.
Activate the Intelligent Flight Battery
Use the provided charger to charge and activate the battery for the first time. It is recommended to fully
charge the battery before each flight.
The TE-F360 aircraft contains a flight controller, video downlink system, propulsion system, and an Intelligent Flight

Flight Modes
The following flight modes are available for TE-F360:
1) A mode (Altitude): The GPS and Vision Positioning System are NOT used for positioning. The aircraft only uses
its barometer to maintain altitude. Supports head - free function, does not support following, flying around a
point, and return function.
2) P mode (Positioning): P mode works best when the GPS signal is strong. There are three different states of P
mode.
3) One button to return home mode: Once selected, the aircraft will rise to the factory set height and then return to
the takeoff pointin a straight line. If the current altitude of the aircraft is higher than theset height, the aircraft will
return to the current altitude. The return journeyensures that the return route has no obstacles.
When using GPS satellite signal or compass, the aircraft is vulnerable to external interference. If interference occurs,
please use the manual mode to control the aircraft or land as soon as possible in a safe location to avoid accidents.
At the same time, when using GPS satellite signal, avoid narrow flight areas or areas with obstacles to avoid flight
accidents.
Aircraft LEDs and Status Indicator
The TE-F360 has Aircraft Arm Indicators and a Front LED Indicator as shown in the figure below:
The Front LEDs show the orientation oftheaircraft andthe status ofsome ofthe functions (refer to the function
sections for more details). The Front LEDs glow solid red when the aircraft is turned on to indicate the front of the
aircraft.
The Aircraft Status Indicator communicates the statuses of the aircraft’s flight control system and Intelligent
Flight Battery. Refer to the table below for more information about the aircraft states indicated by the Aircraft
Status Indicator.

If a strong GPS signal was acquired before takeoff, the Home Point is the
location from which the aircraft launched.The GPS signal strength is indicated by
the GPS icon ( ). The Aircraft Status Indicator will blink
green quickly when the Home Point is recorded.

low battery level warning is triggered. The aircraft will automatically return to the Home Point with fast red
indicator flashing. The user can cancel the RTH procedure bypressing the RTH button or Flight Pause button
ontheremotecontroller, which indicates Smart RTH exit.
Once low battery warning light flashes, the aircraft will land automatically, which can’t cancelled. During
the landing, it is supported to control aircraft flight with remote controller.

When the aircraft descends automatically, user can control the aircraft to land in appropriate location.
Failsafe RTH
If the Home Point was successfully recorded, GPS signal is strong and the compass is functioning
normally, Failsafe RTH will be automatically activated if the wireless signal is lost. The user may cancel
Failsafe RTH to regain control when the wireless signal connection is reestablished
RTH Procedure
1. Home Point is recorded automatically.
2. RTH procedure is triggered.
3. Home Point is confirmed and the aircraft adjusts its orientation.
4. The aircraft rises to the RTH altitude when RTH procedure starts. If the current altitude is higher
than the RTH altitude, the aircraft maintains current altitude to returns directly.
RTH Procedure as following:
Precision Landing
During RTH, Theaircraft will descend slowly once reaching the HomePointterrain.
Propellers
TE-F360 use fast-release propellers. Pitted and un-pitted propellers indicate in which direction they

should spin.
Attaching the Propellers
Attach the propellers with pitted marks to the motors with pit marks. Attach un-pitted propellers to the motors
withou t pitted m arks. Press each propeller down onto the mounting plate and rotate in the lock direction until it is
secured.
Detaching the Propellers
Press the propellers down into the mounting plate and rotate them in the unlock direction.
Propeller blades are sharp –handle with care.
Only use original TOPE propellers and do not mix propeller types.
Match blades with the same marks. For example, the forward-rotating propellers include two
pieces of type 8330R-A or two pieces of 8330R-B blades. The reverse propellers include two
pieces of 8330L-A or two pieces of 8330L-B blades.
The propellers are consumable items. Please purchase separately if necessary .
