skip this procedure and directly use the quadcopter. However, if you change
the Remote control or Receiver, frequency-pairing is required.
Frequency Pairing Procedures
- Important: Be sure to remove propellers before pairing to avoid accidental injury.
- First, power off the remote control, then power on the quadcopter. The front/rear indicators and tail indicator light up. When you hear a “beep” sound, power on the remote control, the power indicator lights up. When photo shooting & video recording indicator(green) lights up, the link between the remote control and quadcopter is successfully eatablished.
- If photo shooting & video recording indicator(green) doesn‘t light up, do the second step again.
Flight
After installation, please conduct flight training (for example: Flight simulator training or professional training). Ensure that all flights are carried out in a suitable environment.
Flight Environment Requirements
- Do not use the quadcopter in severe weather conditions, such as strong winds (category 4 and above), snow, rain and fog.
- Fly in an open area without tall buildings. Presence of large number of steel buildings in the area will affect the onboard compass.
- Keep AP9 away from obstacles, people, power lines, trees, shelters, surface of the water, etc., during flight.
- Reduce the chance of electromagnetic interference by not flying in areas with high levels of electromagnetism (such as near mobile phone base stations or towers).
- This product cannot be used in The Antarctic Circle and The Arctic Circle.
- Do not fly the quadcopter within restricted or no-fly zones, and abide by local laws or regulations.
Pre-flight Check:
- Ensure Remote control, Quadcopter are fully charged.
- Ensure propellers are correctly assembled.
- Ensure the Quadcopter, Remote control and other equipment are working properly after powering on.
- Check if motors start properly after the quadcopter is switched on. At this time, disassembling propellers is recommended for safety.
Compass Calibration
Compass calibration is required before first time use otherwise the system may not work properly, affecting flight safety. The compass is sensitive to electromagnet interference from other electronic devices, which can cause abnormal compass data leading to poor flight performance or even flight failure. Regular calibration is required for optimum performance.
- Do not calibrate the compass in a strong magnetic field.
- Do not carry ferromagnetic material, such as keys, cell phones, etc., while calibrating the compass.
1.1 Calibration Procedures
Choose an open space to conduct calibration. Start the Remote control and
quadcopter and ensure they work properly.
Follow the below procedures to calibrate the compass:
Warning
Be sure to remove propellers before calibration, to avoid accidental injury or
loss.
1.2 When to Recalibrate
- When compass data is abnormal, front indicator (green) blinks fast.
- The flight location is far from the place where last compass calibration was conducted.
- There are changes in quadcopter’s physical structure.

- Do not execute CSC during normal flight. This will stop the motors and cause the quadcopter to drop without control.
- Toggle the joysticks quickly and accurately when performing CSC. Release the joysticks simultaneously after the motors starts or stops.
- Shutdown Remote control must be after the quadcopter power off. Otherwise, the quadcopter will enter the return mode, then may case the high-speed rotation of the propeller.
Basic Flight
3.1 Basic Flight Procedures
- Place AP9 on a flat and open ground, and ensure Tail Indicator faces you.
- Power on the Remote control and Quadcopter one after the other.
- Start the motors until the GPS signal is strong enough(the Tail indicator remains on) at GPS mode. Or, start the motors when the status indicator on Remote control is blue at NRM mode.
- Push the left joystick up slowly for a smooth take-off. Please refer to Remote control operation instructions for detailed operation procedures.
- To land, gently pull down the left joystick to make the quadcopter descend slowly to the ground.
- After landing, pull the left joystick to the lowest position and hold for more than 3 seconds until the motors stop.
- After motors stop, power off Quadcopter and the Remote control one after the other.
- During flight if all 4 arm indicators slow blink or fast blink, it indicates the quadcopter has entered a low battery state. The Remote control will also make an alarm sound, please refer to Low Battery Level Alarm Function for details.
- It takes approximately 40~60 seconds, when the GPS signal is strong enough after the quadcopter power on.
3.2 Aerial Photography Tips and Tricks (If camera installed already)
- Perform pre-flight checks.
- Capture photos and record videos during safe flight status.
- Capture photos and record videos in sunny weather with little wind.
- Set camera settings as per shooting requirements, such as video resolution, picture size, etc.
- Carry out a trial flight before actual flight to help plan the route and frame your photos and videos.
- Push the joystick as slowly as possible during flight to ensure the quadcopter flies smoothly.
Failsafe Protections
If the Quadcopter loses connection with the Remote control (i.e., you lose control), the Failsafe mode kicks in and the Automatic Flight Control system will control the Quadcopter, fly it back to the Home Point and land it safely. This reduces chances of losing or crashing the Quadcopter in case the Remote control signal is lost.
- Home Point: Indicates the Quadcopter’s position when the Quadcopter successfully scans the GPS signal.
4.1 Scenarios when Quadcopter enters Failsafe mode
- When Remote control is powered off.
- The Quadcopter has flown beyond the effective range of the Remote control signal.
- There are obstructions between the Remote control and the Quadcopter.
- There is interference causing a signal problem with the Remote control.
4.2 Failsafe Procedure
In case you lose control of the Quadcopter during flight, the Quadcopter will
automatically follow the below operating procedures:
- The Quadcopter automatically slows down and hovers in one location.
- If the Quadcopter regains signal from the Remote control within 2 seconds, flight control returns to Normal mode, and the Quadcopter will not enter Failsafe mode and will not automatically fly back to the Home Point.
- If the Quadcopter does not regain signal from the Remote control within 2 seconds, the Quadcopter enters Failsafe mode, and initiates automatic flight control to fly back to the Home Point. The Quadcopter will now continue to hover for 15 seconds and evaluate vertical distance to the Home Point. If the distance is more than 25 meters, the Quadcopte will commence to fly back to the Home point. If the distance is less than 25 meters, the Quadcopter will fly up vertically to 25 meters higher than the Home Point, and then commence to return. When the Quadcopter reaches the Home Point it will hover for 5 seconds and then automatically land.
- To ensure the Quadcopter successfully flies back to the Home Point when it is in Failsafe mode, please take-off only after the Quadcopter successfully scans the GPS signal.
- The Quadcopter cannot automatically avoid obstacles in its path when it is flying in Failsafe mode.
4.3 How to regain control during Failsafe Procedures
When the Quadcopter is out of control, toggle the S4 switch on the Remote
control several times to switch flight mode. Once the signal is restored, the
Remote control will regain control, and you can continue to use the Remote
control to operate the Quadcopter.
Low Battery Level Alarm Function
When quadcopter battery power is low, you must land as soon as possible, or else the quadcopter may lose power completely and crash, damaging the quadcopter or creating a dangerous situation. In order to prevent danger caused by low battery, AP9 defines Level 1 low voltage alarm (battery level under 50%) and Level 2 low voltage alarm (battery level under 20%), and sends alarms with indicators on the quadcopter and on the Remote control .
Battery Alarm| Flight indicator light status| Low Power risk
prompt
---|---|---
Low Power alarm| 4 arm indicators Slow Blink (blinks on and off in 1s
intervals)| In level 1 alarm condition, Quadcopter flies normally for few
minutes and then initiates Level 2 alarm. Be cautious while flying, keep the
Quadcopter within sight and do not to fly too high or too far.
Severe Low Power alarm| 4 arm indicators Fast Blink (blinks twice within 1s)|
In level 2 alarm condition, Quadcopter flies normally for few minutes and then
initiates Failsafe mode and commences to automatically land. Under such a
situation, please return and land the Quadcopter as safely as possible, and do
not push the throttle hard or make big movements during flight.
During low-Power automatic landing, you can regain control of the Quadcopter by switching the flight mode. However, do not do so repeatedly, as it may:
- Reduce battery service life due to over discharge.
- Quadcopter may crash due to insufficient Power.

3 Common Troubleshooting
3.1 Solution for Remote control joysticks center (neutral) position
errors
When there is a big error in neutral position of Remote control joysticks, the
motors cannot start when performing CSC. Errors in Remote control joysticks
neutral position usually occur in two cases:
- When quadcopter is ON and the joystick (except throttle) is not in neutral position-Solution: Move all Remote control joysticks to neutral position, and re-start the quadcopter, to re-record the neutral position. If problem persists, it may be caused due to case.
- Remote control joysticks have been trimmed, leading to deviation in neutral position, i.e., there is a large asymmetry in quadcopter joystick position-Solution:
Recalibrate the Remote control .
a) Make sure the quadcopter is powered off. Toggle S2 to Position-3 , then power on the Remote control. The photo capture indicator (green) blinks. Then S2: move both joysticks clockwise and counterclockwise twice, ensuring the joystick touches the maximum positions. Afterwards, release the joystick and toggle S2 to Position-1 , the Video Indicator lights up (green), and calibration is completed
(b) Re-start the quadcopter, and pay attention whether or not it starts properly.
If the problem cannot be solved by the above methods, please send back the Remote control to our factory for repair.
3.2 How can quadcopter land smoothly?
Before performing CSC, pull down the left joystick to less than5% ofthe
joystick level, and then execute CSC. This way you can land the quadcopter
smoothly.
