How to operate a quadrocopter: control panel options, recharging and first flight

The Syma X5C is one of the most modern, user-friendly and easy-to-use quadrocopters, so it's easy to show the basics of controlling all such mechanisms. The device is equipped with a camera that shoots in a resolution of 640x480 pixels; It captures the signal from the remote control at distances up to 150 m. A stable flight to the quadrocopter is provided by a six-axis gyroscope. This model is also equipped with an iridescent LED in the dark. You can charge it directly from the USB port, without using any special chargers.

Precautionary measures

Before learning how to operate a quadrocopter, it is necessary to familiarize yourself with the basic precautions:

1. Use the device is allowed on the street or in a spacious room.
2. You can not run a quadrocopter near power lines and other obstacles.
3. The distance from the operating mechanism to people or animals should not be less than 3 m. It is forbidden to start the mechanism in close proximity to a large group of people.
4. Before starting the device, it is necessary to make sure that both its batteries (remote and onboard) are 100% charged.
5. In the device are lithium-ion batteries - the most explosive of all existing. Therefore it is important:

• Observe their polarity;
• Do not disassemble, do not deform them;
• Do not warm;
• Do not short-circuit them;
• Do not hold in one container with metal parts;
• Do not operate the device when it is hot.

Control panel device

How to learn how to operate quadopters? First you need to familiarize yourself with your "steering wheel" - the remote control:

1. Between the joysticks is visible the key, which turns on and off the quadrocopter.
2. The left upper key switches the device from "beginner" mode to "confident user" and vice versa.
3. Control "gas" - the left joystick "up and down".
4. Rotate the device around you (ruder) - left joystick "right-left".
5. Right under the left joystick is the trimmer, which switches it to "Stepless turning".
6. A little to the right of it is a small photo mode trimmer (motion of the joystick upwards) and video (turning on - down, off - up).
7. The uppermost right-hand key is a 360-degree turn of a quadrocopter.
8. The right joystick adjusts the direction: up / down, left / right.
9. Directly below it is a button-trimmer in pitch.
10. To the left of the right joystick is a trimmer, making it the device's roll control.

How to operate a syma quadrocopter: training

Before practical use, you need to try out in a safe place all the features of your device described in the previous paragraph. Training is considered successfully completed if you brought the following actions to automaticity:

• Safe takeoff and landing of the gadget using the joystick "gas";
• Roll control for tilting in different directions;
• Control of the rudder for turning left and right;
• Pitch kvadrokoptera forward and backward.

Charging the device

Before you operate the Quadroopter, you need to fully charge it. To do this, remove the on-board device battery, using the charger provided, connect the battery to the power supply. A flashing red LED indicates the beginning of the charging process. Its attenuation indicates full charging of the battery - this will take up to 1.5 hours. Do not forget to return the battery to the device.

Do not connect the battery cables to the quadrotorter until the control panel is turned on. In order for the latter to function, it is necessary to provide it with power from four AA type pen-type batteries.

First flight

So, you went to the first training session - how to manage the Syma X5C quadrocopter:

1. Turn on the remote control, pay attention to the battery indicator - if there are less than two divisions, you need to recharge the on-board battery.
2. Now provide power to the Quadrotor - connect the battery cable to the special connector on the device.
3. Place the device on a flat, stable surface, move away from it no less than 3 meters.
4. It is necessary to establish a connection between the device and the console - to do this, the joystick "gas" slowly move up, and then down.
5. About 100% readiness of the mechanism for the flight will be indicated by the stable burning LEDs on its surface.
6. Quadrocopter can fly in the continuation of 8-10 minutes. The duration of the flights depends on their speed, the intensity of the somersaults in the air.
7. If the device deviates from the specified direction during the flight:
   • Kvadrocopter demolishes to the right - ottrimirote its button on the ruder to the left and vice versa;
   • Goes forward - press the button to pitch it back, with the opposite problem - vice versa;
   • Is strongly twisted to the left - the assistant will be included the trimmer on a pitch and joystick to the right, if the opposite phenomenon is observed - opposite actions.
8. To turn off the device, disconnect the onboard battery postings, disconnect the remote control and then remove the on-board battery from the quadrocopter.

After reading about how to operate a quadrocopter, you probably saw that this is a very simple process, in which practice is more important than theory.
