PLACEMENT BEFORE TAKEOFF CHARGING WARNING: Always operate Typhoon H in open areas (approximately 10000 square feet/930 square meters or more) that are free from people, vehicles, trees and other obstructions. Never fly near or above crowds, airports or buildings. Power the SC4000-4 charger from a 100-240V AC outlet using the AC adapter/power supply, or from a 12V-16.8V DC accessory socket/cigarette lighter receptacle in a vehicle using the included adapter.
POWERING ON / OFF STEP 2: INSTALLING THE PROPELLERS IMPORTANT NOTE: Always ensure propellers are installed properly. The motors are extremely powerful, meaning that if the device is misused there is a risk of material damage, serious injury and even fatal injury. Mount the propellers on the motors and note the 'A' and 'B' given on the motor arms. This distinction between 'A' and 'B' refers to propeller 'A' and 'B'.

NOTICE: After the copter takes off, the pilot can retract the landing gear by switching up the Landing Gear Switch on the top right side of the ST16 Ground Station. Make sure to flip the switch to the downward position when landing. NOTICE: During the landing phase of the RTH you can fine tune the landing location.
FLIGHT MODES The ST16 Ground Station is equipped with 3 different flight modes which can be selected by using the mode switch in the top right corner above the right joystick. TS01 GPS VOL 9 FSK 12.
NOTICE: If the landing gear is not lowered down in Smart and Angle modes during landing, the aircraft can't descent less than 6.6 feet (2 meters) from the ground. NOTICE: When turning off the Realsense, the maximum speed of the TYPHOON H should be less than 37.3MPH. When turning on the Realsense, the maximum speed should be less than 11.2 MPH. ANGLE MODE When the Flight Mode selection switch is the middle position, Typhoon H will be in Angle Mode, also known as in Pilot Mode.
moves toward the home position, and once you've confirmed orientation switch back to Angle (Pilot) Mode. If Typhoon H ever loses the link with the ST16 Ground Station it will automatically enter Home Mode. NOTICE: If the signal of remote control is lost, Typhoon H will automatically return to home point and hold its position (with a suitable GPS signal/lock) over the home position except for low battery. NOTICE: If switching on OBS AVOID in Home Mode, the TYPHOON H will avoid the obstacle during home mode.
Tap the CCC to enter the Curve Cable Cam function. ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS: BACK TASK MODES Tap the TASK/CAMERA icon, the background of 'TASK' will become orange, then you will enter another interface displaying functions: CCC (Curve Cable Cam), Journey, POI (Point of Interest), ORBIT ME and TAKE OFF. CCC: (Curve Cable Cam) Curve Cable Cam allows you to create an invisible route for Typhoon H to fly along. Once the pilot sets the point, Typhoon H will fly the set coordinates while remembering the heading.
ORBIT ME: When Orbit Me is enabled, Typhoon H flies a circular path around the pilot. Press ORBIT to enter the ORBIT ME function. 4 3 START: Press START, and slide the icon, push the aileron stick to the right or left, then Typhoon H will fly around the pilot with the distance between the start point and the pilot as the radius.

TEAM MODE GIMBAL CAMERA TILT CONTROL There is a gimbal tilt mode switch on ST16---S1. When the switch is in up/middle position, the CGO3+ gimbal camera is in Angle Mode. Use the slider (C) on the left side of the ST16 to set the tilt position of the gimbal camera. When the S1 is in bottom position, the gimbal camera is in Velocity Mode. When the Elevator joystick is in the middle position, it means the velocity rate is 0 for the CGO3+, and it will stop tilting up/down.
CAMERA PARAMETER SETTING WB In the [ Auto ] menu, the user can choose different mode based on the situation. The camera will adjust parameter according to the light AWB automatically when tapping [ Auto ]. When tapping the button [ Lock ], the parameter at that time will be locked. In the [ ]menu, the exposure or shutter speed and iso can be adjusted manually or automatically.
GUI INSTRUCTION ‘fly aways’. IMPORTANT NOTE: Every time you turn on Typhoon H, it will default to having GPS active/on (even if you disabled GPS the last time is was powered on). After the ST16 Ground Station and the CGO3+ are bound successfully, press the GPS Calibration icon, and then tap the GPS Switch to turn off the GPS. CAUTION: Remove all the propellers before using the GUI. STEP 1) Download the TYPHOON H GUI setup on our official website: www.yuneec.com STEP 2) Unpack and install the file.
COMPASS CALIBRATION CALIBRATION CAUTION: Do not calibrate the compass in parking garages, close to buildings or near roads with a metal core. For optimum performance, only calibrate Typhoon H in open spaces, far away from power lines and other metal structures or concrete buildings. NOTICE: Be sure to perform the compass calibration procedure at least 11 feet away from the nearest cell phone or other electronic devices to ensure proper calibration.
UPDATE GIMBAL CAMERA CALIBRATION STEP 1) Place the TYPHOON H on a level and stable surface. Switch on the ST16 Ground Station and the aircraft and wait till the RC and WiFi connected. STEP 2) Make sure the tilt mode and pan mode all switched upwards, then tap the 'GPS Calibration' button and choose the 'GIMBAL CALIBRATION'. STEP 3) The Gimbal camera will calibrate itself automatically. Wait the gimbal camera align in 3 axis and stay still, which means the gimbal calibration completes.
