This document serves as a Quick Start Guide for the IDEA10 aircraft, a drone manufactured by Guangzhou le Idea Technology Limited Company. It provides essential instructions for setting up, calibrating, and operating the drone, along with information on its associated mobile application and remote control.

Function Description:

The IDEA10 aircraft is a drone designed for aerial photography, videography, and general flight. It features GPS capabilities, allowing for advanced functions like selfie/follow mode and precise positioning. The drone can be controlled via a physical remote control, which offers a safer and more robust control experience, or through a dedicated mobile application for advanced features and FPV (First Person View) and VR (Virtual Reality) modes. The aircraft is equipped with a camera for capturing photos and recording videos. Its design includes foldable arms for portability and a battery compartment for easy insertion of a rechargeable battery.

Important Technical Specifications:

• Connectivity: The aircraft emits its own WiFi band (WiFi-1080P-GPS-xxx) for communication with a mobile device.
• Battery: Requires a fully charged battery for operation. A full charge cycle takes approximately 120 minutes.
• LED Indicators: The aircraft uses a combination of Red and White LED lights to indicate status during power-on, calibration, and GPS connection. The remote control uses blue LED lights.
• Control Range: The physical controller offers a longer range compared to the mobile application.
• GPS: Integrated GPS for enhanced flight stability, positioning, and advanced features.

Usage Features:

• APP Download: A free mobile application is available for download by scanning a QR code (IOS, Google Play, 360). This APP enables photos, videos, selfie/follow mode, FPV, and VR modes.
• WiFi Connection: Users must connect their mobile device to the drone's WiFi network (WiFi-1080P-GPS-xxx) after the aircraft is powered on.
• Powering On Aircraft: Place the aircraft on a flat, level surface free from obstructions or magnetic fields. Press the power button until all 4 LEDs (2 Red, 2 White) begin to flash.
• Remote Control Power On & Pairing: Insert batteries into the remote control, then slide the power switch to the right. The remote will beep and display 4 blue LED lights. Flip the left joystick up and then down to pair with the aircraft.
• Calibration (Part 1 - GPS/Compass):
  1. Press the GPS button on the remote (a "beep" will sound).
  2. While the drone is on a level surface, slowly spin it counter-clockwise until the RED LED lights stop blinking.
  3. While still holding the drone, flip its nose down (camera facing down) and slowly turn it counter-clockwise until the WHITE LED lights stop blinking.
  4. Distinct "beeps" will be heard during this process. It is crucial to keep the aircraft level.
  5. Wait approximately 30 seconds. Successful calibration is confirmed when all 4 LED lights (2 White, 2 Red) are on. If not, power down and restart the process.
• Calibration (Part 2 - Gyro/Accelerometer): Pull both the Left and Right Joysticks inwards and hold for 3-5 seconds. This step should be performed before every flight for best performance.
• Engine Start: After completing calibration and allowing a few minutes for GPS connection (all 4 aircraft LEDs on), pull both the left and right joysticks in opposite directions (as indicated in the manual's diagram) to start the rotor blades spinning.
• One Key Take Off: Once engines are activated and rotor blades are spinning, press the dedicated launch button. The aircraft will self-launch to approximately waist height, allowing the user to take control.
• One Key Land: Control the aircraft to a desired landing spot, then press the dedicated land command button. The aircraft will land softly and shut off its engines.
• One Key Return: Press the "Home" button to make the drone return to its launch spot. Users will need to manually guide it down and press the one key landing button to complete the flight.
• Emergency Stop: A safety feature on the controller. Press and hold the STOP button for 3 seconds to immediately turn off the engines. This should only be used in emergencies, as it can cause serious damage.

Maintenance Features:

• Battery Charging: Ensure the battery is fully charged before each use. The charging process takes about 120 minutes.
• Pre-Flight Checks: Always ensure the aircraft is placed on a flat, level surface away from overhead obstructions or magnetic fields before powering on. Perform both parts of the calibration process, especially the Gyro calibration, before every flight for optimal performance.
• Flight Manual Reference: The guide emphasizes the importance of referring to the full flight manual for complete details and in-depth APP guidance, especially for advanced functions and troubleshooting.
