Battery Charging CAUTION: Only use chargers specifically designed to charge the included Li-Po battery. Failure to do so could result in fire, causing injury or property damage. CAUTION: Never exceed the recommended charge rate. The Battery Charger (EFLC1013) included with your quadcopter has been designed to safely charge the 1S 3.7V 500mAh 25C Li-Po flight battery. Refer to the charging warnings. It is recommended to charge the battery pack while you are inspecting the aircraft.
Transmitter Setup 30% exponential on aileron and elevator is recommended if it is available on your chosen transmitter.
Installing the Flight Battery 1. Lower the throttle to the lowest setting and center all trims. 2. Power ON the transmitter. 3. Insert the battery as shown. 4. Connect the battery cable to the 4-in-1 control unit. CAUTION: Connecting the battery to the control board with reversed polarity will cause damage to the control board, the battery or both. Damage caused by incorrectly connecting the battery is not covered under warranty. 5. Place the quadcopter upright on a flat surface.
Transmitter and Receiver Binding To bind or re-bind your aircraft to your chosen transmitter, please follow the directions below. General Binding Procedure 1. Disconnect the flight battery from the quadcopter. 2. Center all trims on your transmitter. 3. Power off the transmitter and fully lower the throttle. 4. Connect the flight battery in the quadcopter. The blue LED on the 4-in-1 control unit flashes rapidly, indicating it is in bind mode. 5.
Understanding the Primary Flight Controls If you are not familiar with the controls of your Nano QX2 FPV quadcopter, take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with them before attempting your first flight.

Takeoff Increase the throttle until the model is approximately 2 ft. (600mm) off the ground in a low-level hover and concentrate on balancing the throttle stick’s position so that the quadcopter holds a steady hover altitude. In some cases, you may need to make a few short “hops” to an altitude of just a few inches until you become familiar with the control inputs and trim settings required to maintain a steady hover and altitude.
Using the Micro FPV Camera Consult local laws and ordinances before operating FPV equipment. In some areas, FPV operation may be limited or prohibited. You are responsible for operating this product in a legal and responsible manner. 1. Power on your radio transmitter, then power on the aircraft. 2. Power on the video receiver to make sure the channel is clear. 3. Select the desired video transmitter channel by pressing the button on the quadcopter to scroll through the available channels, 1-7, as shown. 4.
Post-Flight Inspection and Maintenance Checklist √ Cleaning Motors Wiring Make sure the battery is not connected before cleaning. Remove dust and debris with a soft brush or a dry, lint-free cloth. Replace the motor when the model will not fly steady or veers off when doing a climb out. Make sure the wiring does not block moving parts. Replace damaged wiring and loose connectors. Make sure there are no loose screws, other fasteners or connectors. Do not over-tighten metal screws in Fasteners plastic parts.
Replacing the Motors The motor rotation direction can be determined by the color of the wire leads. The clockwise motors have black and white leads.
