QUARK™ DIAGRAMREMOTE DIAGRAMLanding GearRear Rotor Blades (black color)Safety CageFLYING TIPS• It is recommended that you operate the Quark™ in a wide space. The ideal space should have a 200 foot radius. • Parental guidance or adult supervision is suggested at all times.• If you are flying the Quark™ with others, make sure all spectators are behind you.• For best performance, it is recommended that you operate the Quark™ in zero wind conditions. Wind can greatly affect the performance of the Quark™.Power Indicator LightThrottle Control Speed Indicator Lights 360˚Stunt Rolls/Speed buttonForward Trim3 CH Button4 CH ButtonBackward TrimDirectionalControlsPower On/OffLeft Banking TrimRight Bank TrimFront Rotor Blades(White color)DO NOT FLY YOUR QUARK™ IN FOUL WEATHER!WARNING• Verify that there are 2 “AAA” batteries inside the remote control unit and the Quark™ has been fully charged.• Make sure your Quark™ and controller are turned on. • Make sure to be in a large space with an open radius of at least 50 feet. • Make sure the empty space has no obstacles and river. Set your Quark™ on a clean flat surface before take-off.DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FLY YOUR QUARK™ IF THERE IS RAIN, SNOW, HEAVY WINDS, THUNDER OR LIGHTNING OUTDOORS. IT COULD DAMAGE YOUR PRODUCT AND POSSIBLY EVEN CAUSE BODILY HARM. PREPARING FOR FLIGHT 3 4FL RBON/OFFButtonChargingSocket Important! When syncing your Quark™ copter with the controller always make sure that the copter is on a flat level surface and that your digital trim settings are in the center position. This insures that the 6 Axis gyro is properly programmed to mimic your trim settings. Your Quark™ 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 Quark™ are in the OFF position. Make sure that there are no other 2.4G devices in the area as well. 2. Turn ON the Quark™ and set it down on a flat surface. The white and red LED indicators of the Quark™ should begin to flash.3. Turn ON the remote, you will hear long beep, the Quark’s white and red LED lights should change to solid, pull the throttle all the way down. Right now your controller and the helicopter successfully synced , Should this not happen, repeat above steps again. For Multi Person Play: 4. Before starting, make sure that the power on all Quarks and Controllers are in the OFF position. Make sure that there are no other 2.4G devices in the area as well.5. Each person will have to sync their Quark™ individually at a different time to avoid interference. Follow steps 1 to 3 above making sure to keep away from other people while also making sure that no one else is syncing at the same time. 6. After syncing a player’s Quark™, it should be left ON until all players have synced their Quark™ copters. 7. Should there be a mistake/interference, all players must turn off their controllers and Quark™ Quadrocopters for 60 seconds and then begin the process again. SYNCING YOUR QUARK™

The Default setting when you first turn on your Quark™ is the SLOW speed mode. To increase the speed simply depress the speed setting button (see diagram F) you will here a beep and the speed setting indicator light bar will show you what speed setting you are on by the number of lights that are lit-up (see diagram G). One light indicates slow, 2 lights indicates medium speed and all 3 lights lit up indicate full or fastest speed. NOTE: When in 3CH mode, the speed setting indicator bar will light its LEDs from Left to Right (see diagram G). When in 4CH mode the speed setting indicator bar will light it’s LED’s from Right to Left (see diagram H) This is a helpful reminder as to what control channel mode you are flying in. RECOGNIZING THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE COPTEREven though the copter has four rotors there is still a front or "forward" facing direction and "back" or backwards facing direction. The forward Front and forward facing direction of the Quadrocopter is the side with two white blades (see diagram E ). The rear and back of the Quadrocopter is where the charging socket and the two black propellers (see diagram E). NOTE: The front of the Quadrocopter displays WHITE LED lights and the back of the copter displays RED LED lights.3/4 CHANNEL SELECTQuark™ allows you to control your Quadrocopter in 3 channel mode (beginner) or 4 channel mode (advanced flying). The Quark™ default setting is 4 Channel mode. To change to 3 Channel mode: PRESS and hold the 3CH button (see remote diagram on pg 3), you will hear 3 short beeps and the green LED lights will off indicating the Quark™ now is set to 3CH mode. To change back to 4 Channel mode: PRESS and hold the 4CH button (see remote diagram on pg 3), you will hear 4 short beeps and the green LED lights will lights up indicating the Quark™ is now set to 4CH mode.
