7.0 Ready for flight
VAN Attention:
(1) Place the aircraft in a wide open space, with the rear facing you.
(This position is known as “TAIL IN”)
(2) Put all the function switches to the 0 position, put all trims and dials to the Middle position,
move the throttle to the lowest position, then turn on the Remote Controller.
(3) The F210 mini-quad have a low-voltage alarm beeper.
And the OSD give you a visual reference for the remaining battery power.
When voltage reach below 14.0 volts the RIGHT LED light will flash quickly and the beeper
will sound alarm.
The F210 mini-quad is designed for FPV racing, there is no “automatic landing mode”.
WARNING: Do not hesitate to land when you hear the alarm or see the OSD indicating 14.0 volts.

After binding the DEVO 7 to the F210, Check that all trims are neutral, the throttle stick is ALL the way Down
with the display indicating 0% throttle. Check that ALL switches are in the UP position.
Gently push the throttle stick down and move the rudder (YAW) stick to the left side and hold for more than
2 seconds. (on mode 2 radios throttle and rudder is the same stick).
You will see the RIGHT red LED light keeps on and buzzer issues a “B B” sound, indicating that motors are unlocked.
Be very careful at this point, as pushing the thottle up will start the motors.
You can test by pushing the stick up a little, the motors should start.
