When syncing your X20 quadrocopter with the controller always make sure that the quadrocopter is on a flat level surface and that your digital trim settings are in the center position. This ensures that the 6 Axis gyro is properly programmed to mimic your trim settings. Your X20 utilizes an automatic 2.4G channel selection system that allows up to 8 people to fly side by side in the same wireless range with no interference. For One-Person Play:
1. Before starting, make sure that the power on both your controller and X20 are in the OFF position. Make sure that there are no other 2.4G devices in the area as well. 2. Turn ON the X20 and set it down on a flat surface. The LED indicator lights of the X20should begin to flash rapidly. 3. Turn ON the remote, you will hear one short beep. The X20s LED lights should now flash slowly. Push the throttle on the left all the way forward(1 beep) and then pull the throttle all the way back. A 2nd beep will sound and the lights should turn to solid. This indicates your controller and the quadrocopter are successfully synced. If not, repeat above steps. For Multi Person Play:
4. Before starting, make sure that the power on all X20 drones and Controllers are in the OFF position. Make sure that there are no other 2.4 G devices in the area. 5. Each person will have to sync their X20 individually at a different time to avoid interference. Follow steps 1 to 3 above making sure that no one else is syncing at the same time. 6. After syncing a players X20, it should be left ON until all players have synced their X20 quadrocopters. 7. Should there be a mistake or interference, all players must turn off their controllers and X20 quadrocopters for up to 60 seconds and then begin the process again. FLYING TIPS It is recommended that you operate the X20 in a wide space. The ideal space should have a 61 m/200 ft radius. Parental guidance or adult supervision is suggested at all times. If you are flying the X20 with others, make sure all spectators are behind you. For best performance, it is recommended that you operate the X20 in zero wind conditions. Wind can greatly affect the performance of the X20. 4 NOW YOU ARE READY TO FLY!
If you have successfully synced your X20 to your controller as explained on page 4 you are now ready to fly. Before beginning to fly your drone you should familiarize yourself with how to start and stop the rotors, how to use your take off and auto land feature and how the controls work. please carefully read and familiarize yourself with various control features explained in the next few pages. Once again as a beginner pilot you should learn how to control your drone in a large open field or park on a day with zero or very light wind. Do not try to fly your X20 too high until you become a more experienced pilot. RECOGNIZING THE FRONT AND REAR OF THE X20 Even though the X20 has four rotors there is still a front or forward-facing direction and back or backwards-facing direction. The Front and forward-facing direction of the X20 is the side with two holes. The rear and back of the X20 is where the battery charging socket and the power ON/OFF is. The X20 when in flight will also help you keep aware of the orientation with lighted LED lights in the arms of the X20.
