bring it to a hover. IMPORTANT! The transmitter antenna should be pointed
at the 230Si at all times for this feature to work correctly.
Failsafe
If the 230Si loses contact with the transmitter, it will hover for few seconds
and slowly land. You can test this feature by turning off transmitter. Please
perform this test in an open area because the quadcopter may drift away
from the point where it lost the signal. Do not turn the transmitter back on
until the quadcopter has landed. If not, the 230Si will stop hovering and fall
when it tries re-link with the transmitter.

CAMERA OPERATION
CAMERA OPERATION
The camera will be in VIDEO mode when it is first powered up. Press the
VIDEO button to start recording a video. You will see the LED on the side of
the camera flash slowly while the video is being captured. To stop recording
and store the video, press the VIDEO button again. The LED will stop flashing
to indicate that the camera is ready for use. If the card is removed or the
battery unplugged while the camera is recording, the video will NOT be
saved on the card.
Before the camera can take a photo, it must be in the Picture mode. Press
the PICTURE button one time, to change the mode. The LED on the camera
will remain steady while the camera mode is changed. Press the PICTURE
button to take a photo. You will notice that the LED will flash rapidly as the
picture is recorded and stored on the micro SD card. When the LED stops
flashing, the camera is ready to take another photo. If the Picture button is
pressed while the LED is flashing, the camera will not capture another photo.
The VIDEO button must be pressed once to change modes before the camera
will capture a video.
Installing the MicroSD Card
To minimize any chance of data being lost
on the microSD card, do not insert or remove
the card from the camera until the battery
has been unplugged from the quadcopter.
Remove the microSD card from the protective
case. Flip the 230Si over and push the card
into the slot on the side of the camera
module. When the card is correctly installed,
it will click. To remove the card, simply press
on the card. There is a spring that will help eject the card from the camera.
Note: The card must be in place before the camera will capture video or
still photos. The camera has no internal memory.
