Baery Warnings and Usage Guidelines
WARNING: Lithium Polymer (LiPo) baeries are significantly more
volale than alkaline, NiCd or NiMH baeries. All instrucons and
warnings must be followed exactly to prevent property damage and/or
serious injury as the mishandling of LiPo baeries can result in fire. By
handling, charging or using the included LiPo baery you assume all risks
associated with LiPo baeries. If you do not agree with these condions
please return the complete product in new, unused condion to the place
of purchase immediately.
• You must always charge the LiPo baery in a safe, well-venlated area
away from flammable materials.
• Never charge the LiPo baery unaended at any me. When charging
the baery you must always remain in constant observaon to monitor the
charging process and react immediately to any potenal problems that may
occur.
• Aer flying/discharging the LiPo baery you must allow it to cool to
ambient/room temperature before recharging.
• To charge the LiPo baery you must use only the included charger or a
suitably compable LiPo baery charger. Failure to do so may result in a
fire causing property damage and/or serious injury.
• If at any me the LiPo baery begins to balloon or swell, disconnue
charging or discharging immediately. Quickly and safely disconnect the
baery, then place it in a safe, open area away from flammable materials to
observe it for at least 15 minutes. Connuing to charge or discharge a
baery that has begun to balloon or swell can result in a fire. A baery that
has ballooned or swollen even a small amount must be removed from
service completely.
• Do not over-discharge the LiPo baery. Discharging the baery too low
can cause damage to the baery resulng in reduced power, flight duraon
or failure of the baery enrely. LiPo cells should not be discharged to
below 3.0V each under load.
• Store the LiPo baery at room temperature and in a dry area for best
results.
• When charging, transporng or temporarily storing the LiPo baery the
temperature range should be from approximately 40–120° F (5–49° C). Do
not store the baery or aircra in a hot garage, car or direct sunlight. If
stored in a hot garage or car the baery can be damaged or even catch fire.
• Never leave baeries, chargers and power supplies unaended during
use.
• Never aempt to charge low voltage, ballooned/swollen, damaged or wet
baeries.
• Never allow children under 14 years of age to charge baeries.
• Never charge a baery if any of the wire leads have been damaged or
shorted.
• Never aempt to disassemble the baery, charger or power supply.
• Never drop baeries, chargers or power supplies.
• Always inspect the baery, charger and power supply before charging.
• Always ensure correct polarity before connecng baeries, chargers and
power supplies.
• Always disconnect the baery aer charging.
• Always terminate all processes if the baery, charger or power supply
malfuncons.
IMPORTANT NOTE: It’s safer and beer for the longevity of the baery to
store it only parally charged for any length of me. Storing the baery
approximately 50% charged (which is around 3.85V per cell) is typically
best, however, it will take some careful management of the charge me and
the use of a volt meter to achieve this voltage. If you have the equipment
and skills to achieve the 50% charge level for storage it is recommended. If
not, simply be sure to not store the baery fully charged whenever
possible. In fact, as long as the baery will be stored at approximately room
temperature and for no more than a few weeks before the next use, it may
be best to store the baery in the discharged state aer the last flight (as
long as the baery was not over-discharged on the last flight).

Charging The Baeries
WARNING: Lithium Ion (LiIon) and Lithium Polymer (LiPo) baeries are
significantly more volale than alkaline, NiCd or NiMH baeries. All
instrucons and warnings must be followed exactly to prevent property
damage and/or serious injury as the mishandling of LiIon/LiPo baeries
can result in fire. By handling, charging or using the included LiIon/LiPo
baeries you assume all risks associated with them. If you do not agree
with these condions please return the complete product in new, unused
condion to the place of purchase immediately.
CHARGING THE LIPO FLIGHT BATTERY
You can power the SC3500-3 charger from a 100-240V AC outlet using the
AC adapter/power supply, or from a 12V DC accessory socket/cigaree
lighter receptacle in a vehicle using the corresponding adapter. Once
you’ve verified the charger is powered on and ready to charge (green
blinking LED), plug the balance connector charge lead into the charger, then
connect the LiPo flight baery to the charge lead. The baery will begin
charging (red blinking LED) and it will take approximately 2 hours to charge
a fully discharged (not over-discharged) baery.
CHARGING THE LI-ION ST10+ BATTERY
You can charge the LiIon baery installed in the ST10+ from a 100-240V
AC outlet using the USB adapter/charger, or from a suitable USB power
source (2.0 amps max), with the USB to micro USB cable. While the ST10+
is powered off connect the cable to the USB adapter/charger, then plug it
into the USB connector/charging port on the right side. Aer approximate-
ly 30-45 seconds the LED indicator for the baery will blink blue while the
baery is charging, and will glow solid blue when the baery is fully
charged. It will take approximately 5.5 hours to charge a fully discharged
(not over-discharged ) baery.
NOTE: The AC plug type will vary depending on the region in which the
product was imported/purchased (AU = Australian; EU = European; UK =
United Kingdom; US = United States).

Preparing The CGO3
WARNING: Before installing the flight baery and powering on the
TYPHOON you MUST remove the cover/lock from the rear of the CGO3
by carefully sliding it backward. Failure to remove the cover/lock can result
in damage to the TYPHOON and the CGO3!
QUICK TIP: It’s a good idea to re-install the cover/lock aer each flying
session and while transporng/storing the TYPHOON (just remember to
remove the cover/lock before powering on the TYPHOON and CGO3!).
Step 1) Remove the cover/lock from the rear of the CGO3 by carefully
sliding it backward.
Step 2) Slide the microSD card into the corresponding slot on the boom of
the CGO3. You can use the included 16GB card or any name brand Class 10
microSD card up to 128GB.
Step 3) Carefully remove the protecve material from the camera lens.
Installing The Propellers
WARNING: We recommend wearing gloves and using extreme care when
installing the propellers/rotor blades.
Each motor and propeller are marked with an ‘A’ or ‘B’ to ensure easy
installaon in the correct posions (for example: install propellers marked
with ‘A’ on motors marked with ‘A’).
IMPORTANT NOTE: It is NOT possible to install a propeller marked with
‘A’ on a motor marked with ‘B’. The threads go in different direcons for
the ‘A’ and ‘B’ motors/propellers.
Step 1) Use the special tool (included) to hold the motor so it cannot spin.
CAUTION: Do not over-ghten the propellers when using the tool.
Step 2) Install the corresponding propeller by rotang it trialing edge first
unl it‘s secure against the o-ring located at the boom of the motor sha.
You may want to add this: Connue to screw down the propeller 1-1.5
turns more to ensure it is properly ghten and compressing the O-rings
slightly.
Step 3) Repeat steps 1 and 2 to install the three remaining propellers
securely.

ST10+ Accessories
You can install the included and oponal-use Neck Strap to help hold and
support the ST10+. You can also install the included and oponal-use LCD
Screen Sun Shade/Shield to help improve viewing in sun light.
QUICK TIP: It may be helpful to apply suitable an-glare screen protector
material over the LCD screen to further improve viewing in sun light.
CAUTION: Do not bend, or move around in excess as the strap can come
unhooked from the ST10+ and potenally fall and damage the sensive
electronic components.
Moving the le-hand sck to the le will turn (yaw) the nose of the
TYPHOON to the le about the vercal axis. And moving the sck to the
right will turn (yaw) the nose of the TYPHOON to the right.
Flight Controls
NOTE: The informaon in this and the following secons refers to the
default ‘Mode 2’ control configuraon of the ST10+. The le-hand sck on
the ST10+ controls the throle (climb/descend) and rudder (yaw le/right)
channels.. When the le-hand sck (also known as the throle sck) is in
the middle posion during flight the TYPHOON will maintain the current
altude. As you move the sck upward the TYPHOON will climb, and as
you move the sck downward the TYPHOON will descend. The farther
away from the middle posion you move the sck the faster the TYPHOON
will climb or descend.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The maximum altude is limited to 400 feet (122
meters) AGL (Above Ground Level) in both Smart and Angle (Pilot) Mode.
And although this limit can be adjusted using the USB interface/program-
mer and soware we strongly recommend using the default limit at all
mes.
Maximum Climb Rate:
2m/s (6.6f/s)

SELECTING A FLIGHT MODE
the TYPHOON is programmed with three (3) flight modes that can be
selected via the Flight Mode Selecon Switch located just above the
right-hand control sck.

The Proporonal Control Rate Slider located on the right side of the ST10+
allows you to set the overall climb/descend and direconal control rates.
Use the turtle posion for the lowest control rates (best for first-me pilots
and required when flying between 5000 feet and 8000 feet Above Mean
Sea Level), and use the rabbit posion for the highest control rates (best for
experienced pilots and can only be used when flying below 5000 feet MSL).
Or use a posion in between if you prefer.
When the Flight Mode Selecon Switch is the top posion the TYPHOON
will be in Smart Mode.
Although we recommend learning to fly the TYPHOON in Angle (Pilot)
Mode as soon as possible, Smart Mode is typically the best mode for
first-me pilots to fly in which also features ‘Follow Me’ and ‘Watch Me’
funcons.
In Smart Mode the TYPHOON will always move in the direcon the
right-hand control sck is pushed relave to the pilot and no maer which
way the front/nose is pointed. So if you push the sck to the le the
TYPHOON will always move to the le, regardless of the direcon the nose
is poinng and even if it’s spinning. This mode can also be helpful for pilots
that lose orientaon while flying in Angle (Pilot) Mode.

FOLLOW ME FUNCTION
The Follow Me funcon allows the TYPHOON to follow the pilot, adjusng
its locaon to the locaon of the ST10+. This funcon is enabled when
ST10+ GPS posioning completes, and the TYPHOON is using shared GPS
signal with the ST10+. At this me, you will see in orange, and in
green color.
When in Follow Me funcon, the TYPHOON will follow the movement of
ST10+ if there is no extra operaon on the ST10+. The flight status is also
controllable when you operate ST10+ and CGO3.
Important Note: In Follow Me funcon, the aircra will maintain a constant
altude and cannot detect obstacles. Pilots who change their altude by
for example, moving to higher ground, during flight should be mindful of
this.

WATCH ME FUNCTION
Watch Me funcon enables the camera to keep tracking the remote control-
ler no maer where and how it moves as the camera can automacally lt its
angle according to the controller.
Usually, the default funcon under Smart Mode is Follow Me. Watch Me
funcon can be switched to by following steps:

Addional Angle (Pilot) Mode Features:
POSITION HOLD AND SELF-LEVELING
the TYPHOON will automacally hold its posion (with a suitable GPS
signal/lock) and maintain a level atude when the right-hand sck is
centered.
WARNING: If you do not properly control the TYPHOON in Angle (Pilot)
Mode the aircra may crash or even ‘fly away’.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Crash damage and ‘fly aways’ are NOT covered under
warranty.
Flight Controls - Angle (Pilot) Mode
When the Flight Mode Selecon Switch is the middle posion the
TYPHOON will be in Angle (also known as Pilot) Mode.
Angle (Pilot) Mode is the mode preferred
by experienced RC/drone pilots because
the TYPHOON will move in the direcon
the control sck is pushed relave to the
front/nose of the aircra. So if you push
the right-hand sck to the le the
TYPHOON will bank toward the le side
and move to the le. This means if the
front/nose of the TYPHOON is poinng
away from you it will move to the le, but
if the front/nose is poinng at you the
TYPHOON will move to the right.
Addional Smart Mode Features:
*SMART CIRCLE
In most cases the Smart Circle will keep the TYPHOON from coming within
approximately 26 feet (8 meters) of you (as long as you posion yourself at
least 26 feet/8 meters behind the TYPHOON.
GEO-FENCE
The geo-fence is a virtual ‘barrier’ that will keep the TYPHOON from travel-
ing further than 300 feet (91 meters). Although this limit can be adjusted
using the USB interface/programmer and soware we strongly recommend
using the default limit at all mes.
WARNING: Smart Mode only works when the TYPHOON has a suitable
GPS signal/lock. If you take off in Smart Mode and the TYPHOON loses
GPS signal/lock it will switch to Angle (Pilot) Mode automacally. This is
why we strongly recommend learning to fly in Angle (Pilot) Mode as soon
as possible. Otherwise, if you lose GPS signal/lock and are not able to
properly control the TYPHOON in Angle (Pilot) Mode the aircra may
crash or even ‘fly away’.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Crash damage and ‘fly aways’ are NOT covered under
warranty.

Flight Controls - Home Mode
When the Flight Mode Selecon Switch is in the boom posion the
TYPHOON will be in Home (also known as Return to Home) Mode.
PILOT LOCATION
13-26 
(4-8m)
LANDING
LOCATION
In Home Mode the GPS connecv-
ity will fly back the TYPHOON, and
automacally land within 13-26 
(4-8m) of the pilot. This can be
very helpful for first-me pilots
who aren’t quite ready to land the
TYPHOON themselves. It can also
be helpful for pilots that lose
orientaon during flight; simply
acvate Home Mode unl the
TYPHOON automacally moves
toward the home posion, and
once you’ve confirmed orientaon
switch back to Angle (Pilot) Mode.
And if the TYPHOON ever loses
the link with the ST10+ it will
automacally enter Home Mode.
When Home Mode is acvated the TYPHOON will respond as follows:
10 m
10 m
B) When flying lower than 33 feet (10 meters) the TYPHOON will climb to
33 feet (10 meters) while flying back to the home point, or acve home
posion, then descend vercally unl it lands.
A) When flying higher than 33 feet (10 meters) the TYPHOON will maintain the
current altude, fly back to the home point, , or acve home point if the ST10+
has enough satellites for Follow Me, then descend vercally unl it lands.

B) When flying lower than 33 feet (10 meters) the TYPHOON will climb to
33 feet (10 meters) while flying back to the home point, or acve home
posion, then descend vercally unl it lands.
CAUTION: You must be certain there are no obstacles in the ‘Return to
Home’ flight path otherwise the TYPHOON may come into contact with
them and crash. And while the TYPHOON is in Home Mode you will have
a limited amount of direconal control to help avoid obstacles, however,
we strongly recommend switching to Smart or Angle Mode to avoid the
obstacle (then you can switch back to Home Mode).
WARNING: Home Mode only works when the TYPHOON has a suitable
GPS signal/lock. If the TYPHOON loses GPS signal/lock it will switch to
Angle (Pilot) Mode automacally. This is why we strongly recommend
learning to fly in Angle (Pilot) Mode as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you
lose GPS signal/lock and are not able to properly control the TYPHOON in
Angle (Pilot) Mode the aircra may crash or even ‘fly away’.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Crash damage and ‘fly aways’ are NOT covered under
warranty.
