Overview

The EXPLORER TROI6W is a high-precision drone designed for experienced pilots aged 14 and above, integrating various electronic stability and control mechanisms for a safe and enjoyable flying experience. This flying camera offers easy, controllable flight when in good working order, but requires careful and correct assembly and setup to ensure accident-free operation.

Function Description

The drone is equipped with a camera, allowing for still photography and video recording. It features GPS connectivity for enhanced stability and advanced flight modes. The drone supports one-key take-off and landing, making it user-friendly for various skill levels. It also includes an emergency stop function for immediate mid-flight shutdown in critical situations.

Usage Features

Pre-Flight Preparation: Before flying, users must read the manual completely to understand the drone's operation and safety guidelines. It's crucial to ensure the drone is placed on a flat and level surface for proper gyroscope calibration after power-on. The drone's head is indicated by two green LED lights, and the tail by two red LED lights.

Pairing and Calibration: To begin, insert the battery into the drone and press the power switch. All LED indicator lights on the drone will flash quickly. Install batteries in the transmitter and press its power button. A single beep from the transmitter indicates successful pairing, and the drone's LED indicators will turn solid. Gyroscope calibration is performed by simultaneously pushing both joysticks to the lower right corner until the drone's indicator lights change from quick flash to solid. Compass calibration involves simultaneously pushing both joysticks to the lower left corner. The drone's indicator lights and the transmitter's compass indicator light will flash quickly. Hold the drone in the air and rotate it in a figure-eight motion approximately three times until a "beep" sound is heard from the transmitter. The drone's indicator lights will then turn solid, and the compass indicator light will turn off, signifying successful calibration.

Motor Control: To unlock/lock the motors, simultaneously push the left stick to the lower left corner and the right stick to the lower right corner, or vice versa. The propellers will begin to rotate when unlocked. The drone must be unlocked before flight.

Take-off and Landing: The one-key take-off button allows the drone to automatically ascend and hover at 3-6 feet altitude. Pressing the button again initiates an automatic landing. For security, the drone will lock its motors after landing and must be unlocked again for subsequent flights.

Flight Control: The drone offers three speed modes: high, middle, and low. The default is low speed, with middle speed suitable for beginners and high speed for experts. These modes are selected by pressing down the throttle joystick.

  • Rising-descending flight: Operating the throttle joystick upward and downward controls the drone's vertical movement.
  • Left/right steering: Moving the throttle joystick left or right causes the drone's head to turn left or right.
  • Left/right flight: Operating the direction joystick left or right moves the drone sideways.
  • Forward/backward flight: Operating the direction joystick upward and downward moves the drone forward and backward.

Advanced Flight Modes:

  • Headless Mode: Pressing the "HEADLESS" button on the transmitter activates this mode, indicated by quickly flashing drone lights. In Headless Mode, the drone's forward direction is relative to the pilot's orientation at the time of pairing. It's crucial for the pilot not to change positions or facing direction to avoid confusion.
  • Areal Circulating Mode: Activated by pressing the Areal Circulating switch on the transmitter. To exit, move the direction joystick. This function is only operable in open sites.
  • Follow Me Mode: Activated by clicking the "Follow mode" button on the transmitter. The drone will follow the pilot's movement (with the transmitter) or the GPS signal from a smartphone. To exit, click the button again. This mode works best in open areas with strong GPS signals and no obstacles.
  • One-key Return: Pressing the one-key return button initiates an automatic return to the last recorded Home Point, indicated by a green light on the transmitter and a "di.di.di..." sound. Pressing the button again cancels the return. This function only works in GPS mode and may have a distance deviation of 1-2 meters. The drone will also return automatically if the flight battery level is low or if the signal to the transmitter is lost.

Emergency Stop: In an emergency, simultaneously pressing the "video" and "photo" buttons on the transmitter will immediately stop the drone mid-flight to reduce damage or injury. This function should not be used at high altitudes unless absolutely necessary, as it will cause motors to lose power and lead to a crash.

Camera and Mobile Phone Integration: The drone's camera angle can be manually adjusted from 0°-35°. When adjusting, avoid direct contact with the lens to prevent image quality issues. A mobile phone clamp is provided for installation on the remote control. After connecting the drone to the transmitter, users can connect their mobile phone to the drone's WiFi signal to access the APP control interface. This allows for taking pictures (stored in the mobile APP file) and recording videos (with recording time displayed on the camera icon and stored in the mobile phone file).

Memory Card: A memory card (TF Card 64GB, not included) can be installed in the SD card slot on the bottom of the drone for storing photos and videos.

Maintenance Features

Propeller Replacement: To replace a propeller, unscrew the small screw, pull out the propeller, and then unscrew the two small screws of the LED light cover to remove it. Hold up the tube, attach the correct propeller, tighten the small screw, and then reattach the LED light cover with its screws. Care should be taken to avoid dropping screws into gaps.

Battery Care: Always check the battery's condition before charging or use. Replace the battery if it shows signs of damage, odor, overheating, discoloration, deformation, or leakage. Use only the provided LiPo charger. Do not charge on flammable surfaces or leave unattended. Avoid exposing the battery to moisture, direct sunlight, or temperatures exceeding 60°C. Remove batteries if the device will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.

General Maintenance: Regularly examine the charger and transformer for any damage. Do not attempt to disassemble or replace any internal parts of the drone, as they are not user serviceable. Keep the drone away from sources of magnetic interference and ensure rotating parts are clear of obstructions and loose clothing. Dispose of used batteries carefully and do not litter.

Troubleshooting: The manual provides solutions for common problems such as the drone not responding to the transmitter (re-syncing or recharging battery), propellers spinning but not taking off (recharging battery, correct propeller orientation, replacing distorted propellers), heavy shaking (replacing distorted propellers, checking for bent axle), inability to stay balanced (replacing distorted propellers, checking motor function), and instability after crashing (restarting and re-calibrating the drone).
