Propeller installation
Before assembling the propellers, please
take down the hoop on the motor. Fix it by
using the propeller hoop after well loading.
Hold the motor by hand or wrench, insert a
2.5mm diameter rod into the hole of the
propeller hoop. Fix it by rotating the blades
as the reversing direction of the arrow
shown. Rotate it as the arrow direction to
disassemble it.
Cautions: The propellers should be correctly
assembled. Make sure the rotating direction
of the blades should be the same as the
rotating direction of the motor.

Safe flying
The quadcopter is equipped with GPS.
When fly out door, please choose a
spacious area where there is no high-rising
building nearby and also keep it far away
from the magnetic place so as to get the
GPS signal more quickly. Load the battery
into the quadcopter, wait till red and green
light slow flashing, more than 6pcs GPS
stars, cooperating with magnetic sensor,
then you can fly very safely and reach
precise location function.

Return home
Pull return home button after quadcopter
is more than 20m.
Red light will be eternal ON, it will hover
2-3 seconds, climbs 20m height, and then
return home.
Hovering for about 20 seconds on the

One key take off / one
key landing
X380 has one key take off and landing
functions. You need to connect the battery
with the quadcopter, wait till self test finishing.
One key take off: press take off button for 2
seconds to start the motors rotating. Loose
take off button, then it will climb 1m.
One key landing: press take off button for 2
seconds during flying, then red indicator will
quick flash. You can see it will enter landing
process. Motor will stop to rotate after landing
on the ground.(One key landing will let the
quadcopter land at the current flying position,
it can not let the quadcopter return home.)
Release one key landing function: Throttle up
during one key landing process, will release
one key landing function.
Caution: One key take off and
landing functions are not
suitable to operate Indoor.
Caution
This product is not a toy . Before flying, please read the manual carefully or under the guidance
of the experienced players.
The blades of the propeller should be correctly assembled. Otherwise you won't fly it.
When you change a new ground or need to take it far away from the flying ground you have
flied for last time, you need to re-trim the magnetic sensor.
If there is no GPS signal(without green light flashing slowly),please do not conduct auto-return
operation.
If there is low-voltage alarming, please land your quadcopter as soon as possible.
During the process of flying, if you keep lasting control operation, it may show the reminding
yellow light to remind you of insufficient power and this time please reduce the times for
operating the joystick.
The broken blades of propeller may affect the flying, please replace the broken one timely.
Head lock mode
Switch the head lock switch at “1” position
during normal flying.
The flying indicators of the quadrocopter will
appear 2 green lights and 1red light (without
GPS signal) or 3 green lights (with GPS
signal).
This time the quadrocopter has no obvious
definition on where is heador tail. No matter
the quadrocopter in the po sition of which
angle, we all think that the direction for taking
off is the head of the quadrocopter when
pulling the control lever.
Before switching off the heading lock switch,
please rotate the tail and point to your
position first, otherwise it will easily make you
feel confused about the direction.
Caution: Do not use in
magnetic conditions.
please re-trim the
magnetic sensor when
change a new outdoor
venue.

Trim the magnetic sensor
Under the mode of heading lock, if there is any channel out of order,you need to re-trim the
magnetic sensor.
When you change the flying ground or take it far away from the flying ground for last time,we do
recommend you re-trim your magnetic sensor.
Magnetic sensor may be easily affected by the change of the magnet or interfered by the
electronic equipment,which result in abnormal data or easily causing the flying accident. Trim
the magnetic sensor often helps keep the best working state.
Switch on the transmitter,place your quadrocopter on the flat ground and wait for the self-
decoding.
When finish self-decoding,the signal will turn from red and yellow quick flashing to red green
slow flashing,please pull the throttle lever to the bottom and pull the head lock witch for 3 times,
this time the signal will appear eternal green light.Please trim the horizon direction first.
Take the quadcopter,walk 2 circles,and then put it on the flat ground. Pls make sure the
quadcopter always in horizonal direction and green lights eternal ON during doing these actions.
Pull the trottle lever to the bottom,and then pull the head lock for 3 back and forth,then the signal
light will be OFF.Hold the quadcopter vertically,flying indicator lights up, red lights will be on.Keep
vertically and red lights eternal on to walk 2 circles. After above actions, put the quadcopter on
flat ground to finish vertical trimming.
Place the Quadrocopter in horiozn and then pull the throttle lever to the bottom,pull the head lock
switch 3 back and forth and the green light will be ON, to preserve the data,
wait till the red light and green light alternatively slow flashing or green light slow flashing , to
finish preserving the data and then you can control the lever and go ahead with your flying.
Caution: If there is yellow and red light flashing alternatively,it represents the trimming is a failure.
Please repeat the steps mentioned above until the horizontal and vertical trimming is successfully.
Otherwise it may affect flying.If green light is OFF,please repeat the rotation.

Load the camera and the frame
First of all,please fix the camera frame by using M3X6 inner hexagonal screw.
Load the camera into the camera case and then fix it by using the self-spinning screw.
Load the camera case into the camera frame by the self-spinning screw.Adjust the angle of the
camera according to your own requirement. When the angle has been confirmed by you,please
lock tightly by the self-spinning screw.
Caution:
1.This camera hanging rack only can be used for XK brand standard and Gopro 3.It can not
be loaded any other cameras in the market.
2.When using Gopro 3 camera,you can not open the WIFI as they are all 2.4G ,which may bring
big interference to the quadrocopter and cause flying accident.
Trim the control lever of the transmitter
It can reduce or resolve the discrepancy when operating the control stick ,which helps enhance
the accurate control operation.
Switch on the transmitter and load the batteries into the quadcopter,wait until the self-decoding
is finished and the red and green light will be flashing slowly.
Pull the throttle lever to the lowest position and then the direction lever to the right side,
successively pull the auto-return switch for 6 back and forth,the signal will turn from red light
eternal ON to quick flashing red light. Quickly pull the control levers on both sides for one circle
so as to reach the maximum of minimum position.
Release the joystick to let the control stick return to the middle position , the red light will turn
from quick flashing into red and green light slow flashing or green light slow flashing (with
GPS),this time the triming is successfully finished.
