6 SAFETY WARNINGS AND OPERATING GUIDELINES This Product is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the Product by a person responsible for their safety.children should be supervised to ensure that they do not have access to the Product. Even though the Delta Drone may look small and light, there are important safety considerations to bear in mind when operating this device. A Drone of this class has motors which are capable of developing a maximum output in excess of 186 watts, rotating at 10,000 RPM. This makes the Rotor Blades VERY DANGEROUS when they are in motion. They are more than capable of injuring people and damaging property. For these reasons, always observe the following guidelines: DO NOT fly the Drone within 10m of people anywhere. Remember, your Drone weighs nearly 1 kilogram and is more than capable of hurting someone severely or damaging the environment around it. Consider your personal liability when you choose to operate your Delta Drone. DO NOT attempt to handle or catch the Drone while it is in operation. DO NOT attempt to handle the Drone while the Rotor Blades are still spinning. DO NOT allow others to approach the Drone while it is in operation and the Rotor Blades are in motion. Always make sure that you have completely disarmed the Drone and removed each Rotor Blade before handling. Always maintain Visual Line-of-Sight (VLOS) with the Drone. Always fly between official sunrise and official sunset, local time. Always stay below 330ft (100m) in height. Always ensure that your visibility has a range of at least 1.8 miles (3km). Never engage in careless or reckless manoeuvres. Consider the impact reckless behaviour might have on other Drone enthusiasts and future Pilots. Always conduct a pre-flight inspection based on the Pre-Flight Checklist included with your Delta Drone. Always carry your Pre-Flight Checklist on your person, when you intend to operate your Drone. Never operate your Drone when intoxicated or when you are incapacitated in any other way. 6

7 Delta Drone Features. The Delta Drone is an easy to fly, GPS enabled Quadcopter. Suitable for both new Pilot s and experienced Drone flyers, alike. If you are new to the fun of flying Drones, you can expect to be up and flying in a short time. Of course you need to familiarise yourself with the safety, operating and controls of the Delta Drone first! Give yourself time to become accustomed to the feel of the Drone and effect of the controls. If you ever suspect that you are losing control of your Drone, you can simply hit the Return to Home button (RTH) and your Drone should return to its Take-off Location, accurate to 5 metres. The Delta Drone features 3 modes: 1) Manual Mode 2) GPS Position Hold 3) Smart Orientation Mode (SOM) These three modes are accessed by using the switch on the top right of the Delta Drone Transmitter. The Transmitter also hosts the Return to Home Button. This is located in the centre of the Transmitter and has an image of a house on it. When the Mode Switch, the Left Throttle Stick and the Return to Home button are not in the correct position, you will not be able to arm your Drone and the Transmitter s smart alarms will sound to warn you. The Transmitter also features a Battery Light, located under the RTH button. This light will change colour as the batteries in the Transmitter run down. The Delta Drone Transmitter is powered by 4 x AA batteries (not included). The Delta Drone battery is capable of powering the Drone for up to 17 minutes of flight time. This will be dependent on the manner in which the Drone is piloted and the conditions of the flight. The Delta Drone has removable Rotor Blades for easy transport, storage and most of all, increased safety. You can mount any GoPro or Kaiser Baas Action Camera to the bottom of the Delta Drone, to record your flight and capture aerial footage. For optimised and smoother footage, the Delta Drone also has an optional Gimbal (KBA sold separately) that supports the GoPro Hero 3 & Hero 3+ and Hero 4. 7

The LED lights also function as a Drone Health Warning System. You should always monitor the LED lights on the Delta Drone because they are the primary warning indicator if a problem occurs or if the Low Voltage Alert (LVA) has been triggered. LOW VOLTAGE ALERT The Low Voltage Alert is trigged when the battery has less than 2 minutes of flight time left. When the LVA is triggered, the Drone should be landed as soon as possible to prevent an unexpected loss in power. If the Drone loses power completely, the Drone will hard-land which can damage the Drone and its components. 9

10 [WARNING] Failure to land the Drone when the LVA is triggered may result in a significant reduction of battery longevity and re-charge ability. FAILSAFE MODE The Drone features a Failsafe Mode that will return the Drone to its Take-off Location in the event that the Drone: Loses Transmitter signal. Is flown beyond the range of the Transmitter. The RTH (Return to Home) button is pressed. If one of these events is triggered, the Drone will enter RTH Mode and return to its Take-off Location. [WARNING] Failsafe Mode will only engage if the Drone has correctly acquired GPS Lock (indicated by a solid Yellow LED Status Light). [WARNING] Taking-off without acquiring GPS Lock will prevent the Failsafe Mode from activating and may cause the Drone to crash or be lost upon landing. TRANSMITTER SPECIFICATIONS Transmitter Diagram: The Transmitter features a number of different modes to control the Drone. There are 3 mode switch positions on the Transmitter: Position 1 Manual Mode 10

11 This Mode allows the Drone be flown under full manual control, without GPS assistance. The altitude and position of the Delta Drone is determined completely by the GIMBAL F 1. START/TAKE OFF 2. GPS HOVER MODE 3. SMART ORIENTATION MODE G B HOLD HERE TO LOCK GPS E D C DELTA DRONE GPS QUADCOPTER A H A Power Button B Speaker C Battery Indicator D Return to Home E Lanyard Attachment F Gimbal Dial G Flight Mode Switch H Battery Compartment Pilot. The Drone will orient according to the direction it was placed prior to being armed. [WARNING] The rear of the Drone is always the side with the circular Status LED. Take note of which direction the Drone is facing, especially when in Manual Mode. Manual Mode is required to arm the motors and to Lock GPS. Always start in Manual Mode when you turn on your Drone. If the Drone is not in Manual Mode for arming and GPS lock, the smart alarm will sound. Position 2 GPS Position Hold. GPS Position Hold does not change the way the Drone is oriented. It simply locks the position of the aircraft in place in a hover. The altitude is fixed when the Throttle is at 50%. It will only increase or decrease in altitude when the 11

12 Throttle is pushed repectively to the 70% or 30% position. Position 3 Smart Orientation Mode. Smart Orientation Mode (SOM) is a special function that changes the way the Drone handles orientation. It utilises the internal compass and GPS coordinates and will lock the orientation of the Drone in place, relative to the direction the Drone was facing when it was first turned on and armed. Smart Orientation Mode enables you to control the movement of the Delta Drone from your point of view regardless of which way the Drone is facing. You will find this mode useful for quick positioning and returning the Drone to you when needed. New Pilots who have not mastered Pitch and Roll movements will enjoy using this mode because it allows you to fly in any direction without having to worry about orientation. So how does SOM work? Smart Orientation Mode allows you to control the Drone relative to its direction from the Take-off Location (i.e. where it was armed) but this requires GPS Lock. This is why it is always important to allow the Drone to obtain GPS Lock before take-off (indicated by a solid Yellow LED Light Status). Smart Orientation Mode uses the Drone s position relative to where you first armed the motors. This means no matter where the Drone is, pulling the Pitch (Right Stick) back will cause it to return towards its Take-off Location, regardless of the Drone s actual heading. This applies no matter where the Drone is, even when it flies behind the Pilot/Take-off Location. If the Pilot holds full Right Roll, the Drone will fly in a circle, clockwise around the Pilot (although the circle s radius may tend to grow slightly with each orbit due to lag ) Also, remember that GPS is only accurate to around 10 metres, so close fly-bys of the Take-off Location should be avoided. To avoid confusion, you should ensure the controls are correct from take-off. 12

13 You should arm the Drone while you are standing behind it, so that both you and Drone are both facing in the same direction. Please note, SOM can be turned on while in flight. GIMBAL Return to Home The Return to Home function is triggered by pressing the RTH button on the Transmitter, indicated by the image of a house. This button will only trigger the RTH function when the Drone has been initialised with GPS Lock. 1. START/TAKE OFF 2. GPS HOVER MODE 3. SMART ORIENTATION MODE When the RTH button is pressed, the Drone will lift to a height of approximately 15 metres and begin to return to its Take-off Location. HOLD HERE TO LOCK GPS DELTA DRONE GPS QUADCOPTER [WARNING] RTH does not detect obstacles and the Pilot should ALWAYS be aware of any obstructions. Please note, you will be able to manoeuvre the Drone in this mode to safely land. Ensure that you have given a clearance area of 5m (Safe Landing Zone) before attempting to land the Drone. Transmitter Operation. The Transmitter has two control sticks, Left (Throttle/Yaw) and Right (Pitch/Roll). Left Stick The Left Stick is known as the Throttle. This controls the Drone s Elevation and Yaw. 1. START/TAKE OFF Throttle Up GIMBAL 2. GPS HOVER MODE 3. SMART ORIENTATION MODE Pitch Up Yaw Left Yaw Right Roll Left Roll Right HOLD HERE TO LOCK GPS Throttle Down Pitch Down DELTA DRONE GPS QUADCOPTER Elevation Yaw 13

14 To engage the Throttle and control the Drone s elevation and power, the Left Stick uses a North/South movement. North to ascend and South to descend. To change the Yaw of the Drone, the Left Stick uses an East/West movement. East to Yaw right and West to Yaw left. N N W E W E S S [WARNING] In Manual Mode (Position 1) pushing the Throttle down completely N N W E W E S to 0% will stop the motors spinning and cause the Drone to drop dramatically in-flight and even crash. Take EXTREME PRECAUTION as this may damage persons, property and the Drone itself. [WARNING] Unless using SOM, take special note when changing the Drone s Yaw (heading) as this will affect how the Drone reacts when using the Right Stick. S Right Stick The Right Stick is also known as the Elevator/Aileron. This controls the Pitch and Roll of the Drone. Pitch 14

15 15 Roll The Elevator/Aileron controls the forwards and backwards (Pitch) movement and the left and right (Roll) movement of the Drone. GIMBAL DIAL The left side of the Transmitter features a Gimbal Control Dial. N S E W N S E W N S E W N S E W N S E W N S E W N S E W N S E W

16 [Important] The Gimbal is an optional accessory, purchased separately (KBA15008) The Gimbal Dial only functions when a Gimbal is attached and connected to the Drone. See Gimbal User Guide. When connected, the Gimbal Dial allows the Pilot to control the tilt of the attached camera. GYRO CALIBRATION 1. START/TAKE OFF 2. GPS HOVER MODE GIMBAL 3.

17 misaligned after a flight or error. This is usually most beneficial when the Drone is starting to fly strangely or is behaving erratically. To reset the Gyro: Place the Delta Drone on flat, stable ground and disconnect the battery. Wait for a few seconds, then re-connect the battery and start your Drone as normal. BATTERY It is imperative that only a Kaiser Baas Delta Drone Battery is used inside the 17

18 Delta Drone. DO NOT use any third-party or unknown accessories or batteries. Always ensure your Delta Drone battery is charged before flight. CHARGING Connect the Delta Drone charger to the wall using the supplied power cable. Connect the Delta Drone battery to the supplied charger. Please note, the White connector of the battery can only be inserted one way, be sure to connect correctly. Wait until charging is complete before disconnecting the Battery from the Charger. This will be indicated by all three LED Lights on the Charger, displaying Green. Charge Time The Delta Drone battery should take approximately 3 hours to charge. Battery Life To ensure the longevity of your Delta Drone battery, never run the battery too low as this will impact the battery health and future flight time. Your Delta Drone 18

19 battery should have a life of over 400 cycles, provided proper charging and maintenance is employed. Battery Life - Flight Time The Delta Drone flight time is determined by a number of factors; weather, temperature, altitude and flight-style are all major contributors to how long the Drone can remain in-flight. Under optimal conditions, you should get approximately minutes of flight time. The age and quality of a battery are also key components to ensuring longer flight times. Please follow all recommended battery care and charging instructions within this User Guide. BATTERY SAFETY WARNINGS DO NOT disassemble the battery. 19

20 DO NOT short-circuit the battery. DO NOT ever poke or puncture the battery with any blunt or sharp implement [WARNING] There is a high risk of it igniting! DO NOT ever leave the battery near an open flame or heat source. DO NOT immerse the battery in water, unless performing the discard process DO NOT charge the battery in direct sunlight. Never leave a charging battery unattended. Only remove the battery from its supplied charger when the charging cycle is complete. DO NOT reverse charge or over-charge the battery. Always charge the battery in a designated space, away from people and animals. If the battery becomes bloated or appears to be inflated - DISCARD THE BATTERY IMMEDIATELY Instructions - place the bloated battery in a bucket filled with salt water (200 grams salt to 1 Litre water) and leave the battery in the solution for three days. You can now dispose of the battery through your local recycling centre. Never use your battery after conducting the discard process. If the battery has a high surface temperature, leave it to cool before you try to re-charge it. Always ensure the battery is free from all damage and deformation before use. If you see any sign of smoke coming from the Drone or battery area - STOP OPERATING IMMEDIATELY when safe, disconnect the Drone battery. DO NOT use the battery with unspecified equipment. DO NOT touch a leaking battery directly. Never let battery contents touch your skin or clothing. If contact occurs, seek medical advice immediately. DO NOT throw or cause any trauma to the battery.

Always use the supplied charger and observe charging requirements. Always store the battery in a safe and cool place and never store the battery fully charged. ROTOR BLADES 20

21 It is important that only Kaiser Baas Delta Drone Rotor Blades are fitted to the Delta Drone. Never use any third party accessories or tools. The Delta Drone has two types of Rotor Blade. The first has a Silver Nut and the second features a Black Nut. These colours are to signify which motor each Rotor Blade should be fitted to. The Silver and Black nuts correspond to a motor with the same colour top. Installation Before installation, remove all warning labels from the Drone motors before attaching the Rotor Blades. Attach the Rotor Blade with the correct coloured nut, to the corresponding motors with Silver/Black tops. Refer to the icon on the Rotor Blade to determine which direction to tighten the blade in. Rotor Blades should be tightened by hand only. 21

22 [WARNING] Never use the Rotor Blade Removal Tool to tighten the blades. The Blades are self-tightening and do not require much force to install. Overtightening may damage the thread and cause instability during flight. Removal Please use the included Rotor Blade Removal Tool to detach the blades. Fit the Rotor Blade Removal Tool into the motor housing to stop unnecessary movement and then simply unscrew the Rotor Blade in the OPPOSITE direction to the icon on the blade. Rotor Blade Warning Never use Rotor Blades with any signs of damage or wear and tear. This includes chips, scratches and cracks. Damaged Rotor Blades can cause the Drone to fail 22

23 in-flight and may result in damage to persons or property. ALWAYS ENSURE that the correct Rotor Blade is matched to the correct motor, using the nut colour as a guide. Never touch the Drone or the Rotor Blades when the motors are spinning. ROTOR GUARDS New Pilots are strongly advised to purchase the Delta Drone Rotor Guards and Safety Line accessory (KBA Sold Separately). The Rotor Guards and Safety Line will provide some protection for the Rotor Blades, preventing them from coming into contact with obstacles and causing additional damage. They will also protect the Rotor Blades from damage in the event of a false takeoff. It is important never to lift the Drone by the Rotor Guards or Safety Line. Installation of Rotor Guards Step 1. Remove two screws from the bottom of the motors Step 2. Place the Rotor Guards in the designated slots 23

24 Step 3. Use the larger screws provided to fix the Rotor Guards in place Step 4. Step 4. Attach the Safety Line through the allocated points to add another level of protection and structural stability to the Drone. 24

25 PRE-FLIGHT AND FLIGHT PLANNING Please consult the Pre-Flight Checklist before EVERY flight. At a minimum: Ensure that you are at least 5.5kms from any airfield and you are adhering to any regulations and laws laid out by your local aviation authority. Do a COMPLETE check of your surroundings, look for hazards above, in front and behind you. Be especially aware of things like power lines and nearby people and animals. If these hazards exist, DO NOT deploy your Alpha Delta Drone and consider a new Take-off Location. POWERING-ON THE DRONE Open the battery compartment and insert the Delta Drone battery all the way, with the Yellow and White battery connections facing outwards. 25

26 Connect the Yellow battery power lead to the Drone. You will hear a beep, signalling the battery has been connected successfully. Neatly and carefully push the all connections into the compartment and close the cover. Place the Drone on unobstructed, stable ground. Ensure you have followed the Pre-Flight Checklist completely and are adhering to your local regulations. Ensure the Status LED is facing towards you. This ensures the Drone is starting in the same direction and orientation as you, the Pilot. Please wait until the Status LED indicates it has finished the System-Check and acquired GPS Lock. FLIGHT Again, please consult the Pre-Flight Checklist before EVERY flight. It is highly recommended that you have an experienced Drone Pilot accompany you for supervision. Ensure that you have followed the guidelines and done your own research on where it is safe and permitted to fly the Drone. To take-off you must ensure that the Transmitter is set to Position 1 (Manual Mode). Turn on your Transmitter. Ensure that the Throttle is in the lowest position. ARM THE MOTORS The Drone must first be armed and the motors unlocked prior to take-off. To arm the motors, move the Throttle to the far bottom right (see markings on the 26

27 Transmitter) and hold for 5 seconds. The LED indicator will flash and change to solid Yellow indicating GPS Lock. The motors will start to spin, indicating they have been armed. 1. START/TAKE OFF Throttle Up GIMBAL 2. GPS HOVER MODE 3. SMART ORIENTATION MODE Yaw Left Yaw Right HOLD HERE TO LOCK GPS ARM Throttle Down DELTA DRONE GPS QUADCOPTER Take-Off Ensure the area is open and any spectators have been briefed. Ensure no spectator is within the 10m Safe Landing Zone. The Status LED should be facing the Pilot. This is the rear of the Drone. Any control in Position 1 (Manual Mode) or Position 2 (GPS Position Hold) will 27

28 correspond to the direction the Drone is facing, so be aware of any changes in the Yaw angle. You are strongly encouraged to wait for GPS Lock before take-off. Failure to lock satellites will prevent Mode 2 and Mode 3 from being able to be used and will also prohibit the Drone from determining a Take-off Location. This may result in the loss of your Drone, should it venture out of Visual-Line-of-Sight (VLOS). NOTE: if your Drone is inactive on the ground for a period of over 10 seconds, you will need to re-arm, using the Throttle and markings on the Transmitter. Lift the Left Stick to engage the Throttle smoothly, while keeping the Yaw/ Pitch centred. The Drone needs to be 1 metre above the ground to prevent any Ground Effect or backwash of air from disrupting the flight. When the Drone is near the ground, pay special attention to its position to prevent serious harm to persons or property. New Pilots are strongly advised to switch the Transmitter to Position 2 (GPS Position Hold) or Position 3 (SOM) for ease of flight. Only proceed with flight if you have performed all the Pre-flight checks and are familiar with all the functions of the Delta Drone. If needed, re-read the User Guide and other instructions regularly. [WARNING] Please note that attaching the Gimbal will change the way the Drone flies, as it is now bearing more weight. Pay extra attention during takeoff to ensure that the Aircraft does not tip over in a false take-off. Always used the included Stablisers. FLIGHT CONDITIONS Always follow legislation set by local authorities on the rules and regulations surrounding where you are permitted to operate your Drone. 28

29 Never fly your Drone in adverse weather conditions including rain, snow, fog or winds exceeding 10 knots. Never fly your Drone near large crowds or above unwilling spectators. Make sure that you have the full permission of people within flying range of your Delta Drone and DO NOT fly your Drone where people have not given permission or have requested that you not fly. Flight Limits and Geo-Fencing The maximum range of the Delta Drone is 1,312ft (400m). Your Delta Drone is equipped with a pre-programmed geo-fence that limits the flight-distance of the Drone to 984ft (300m) horizontally and 328ft (100m) vertically, from the Transmitter. This geo-fence programming has been fitted for the safety of you and others and prevents your Delta Drone from venturing out of your VLOS. LANDING The safest way for new Pilots to land the Drone is to use the RTH button on the Transmitter. Please note that when the RTH button has been engaged, that the Drone will not automatically be able to avoid obstacles. You should take special care to manoeuvre the Drone to a safe landing position. Position 2 (GPS Position Hold) allows the Pilot to safely descend and land the Drone. Always be mindful of how fast the Drone is descending, to ensure a safe landing. When landing in Position 1 (Manual Mode), be very careful when lowering the Throttle, as flicking the toggle straight down will disarm the motors, causing an immediate loss of power. [WARNING] When landing with the Gimbal, please be aware that the Drone will handle differently. We strongly advise that you land on soft terrain, to ensure the attached camera and gimbal are not damaged in the event of a false landing. POST-FLIGHT Disarm the Motors. 29

30 To disarm the motors, push the Throttle to its lowest position and then push it to the far bottom left and hold for approximately 5 seconds. The motors will disarm and the status LED will change, flashing Green and Yellow. Throttle Up GIMBAL 1. START/TAKE OFF 2. GPS HOVER MODE 3.

34 FAQ Q1. My Drone does not take-off? A1. Make sure that your Delta Drone is powered-on and the motors are armed, as per the User Guide instructions. Refer to the User Guide for detailed information on how to operate the Drone safely. A2. The battery may be flat. Please ensure the Drone battery is fully charged and that the Transmitter batteries are fresh. Q2. My Transmitter is beeping. Make it stop! A1. Ensure that the Transmitter is set to Mode 1 (Manual Mode) and the Return to Home button is not de-pressed. Also check that the Throttle (Left Stick) is completely down, in the lowest position. Q3. My Drone is beeping! What does this mean? A1. If the Drone is beeping, this more than likely means that the battery is close to being empty. What you are hearing is the Low Voltage Alarm. Please refer to the User Guide for further details. A2. The Drone could also be beeping to let you know the Position on the Transmitter is incorrect or the RTH button is de-pressed. Set your Delta Drone Transmitter to Position 1 (Manual Mode) and check the RTH button. Q4. My Drone keeps tipping when I take-off! A1. It is often difficult for new Pilots to get used to the take-off procedure. To take-off without tipping, give the Drone a smooth lift of power with the Throttle, rather than a quick movement. Once in the air, keep the Drone level using the Right Stick (Elevator/Aileron). Please go to our YouTube page for tips on how to safely and easily pilot your Delta Drone. Q5. My Drone is not stable in the air. A1. Always arm the motors after the Drone has acquired GPS Lock. Be sure to place the Drone on level ground before you connect the Drone battery. A2. Make sure you are using GPS Position Hold or Smart Orientation Mode (SOM) once in the air. 34

35 Make sure the weather conditions are calm and are not interfering with the stability of the Drone. A3. There may be other environmental interference. Please ensure you are in an area free from strong electromagnetic interference. Q6. I m not sure where to fly my Drone? A1. If you are in doubt of where you can fly, always check the local laws and regulations first! Please follow your local aviation authorities guidance on where, when and how you can fly your Drone. Many areas have designated RC flying fields where you can fly safely and legally. DO NOT fly in a confined area, like a small backyard or balcony. A2. Choose an open, outdoor area away from people, buildings and airports. Q7. My Drone freaks me out. What can I do? A1. Visit our YouTube page and follow our comprehensive tutorials. The Delta Drone can be quite intimidating but, always make sure you have read the User Guide entirely and are familiar with all features and safety precautions before you start flying. A2. If possible, ask a friend with experience to help you fly. Q8. A dog is chasing my drone! A1. Don t land! That is almost certainly going to either hurt the dog or cause further stress. Animals are prone to notice Drones when they are flying close to the ground. We recommend that you raise the Drone to a higher altitude. You will find this almost always causes animals to lose interest. Then you can go about bringing the Drone back to you or continuing the flight. Q9. Can I attach other cameras to my Drone? A1. The Delta Drone is designed to support either GoPro or Kaiser Baas Action Cameras. We do not recommend that you attempt to attach any other camera type to this Drone, as it may seriously affect the balance or load-bearing ability of your Drone, possibly causing damage to components, property or people. 35
