SHIFT RED User Manual 05 CONTROLLING THE DRONE This section describes how to control the drone for takeoff, landing, and flight, and take actions for an emergency stop. Before proceeding with each maneuver, read the “Pre-flight inspection” and “Precautions during flight” subsections under Section 02 Precautions. The drone has a flight altitude limit of 25 m (82 ft), and the maximum flight distance (maximum control range) may vary with surrounding signals.
2~3m 2~3m 2. Wear the control ring on your thumb, and wrap your hand gently around the control stick. For details on wearing the control ring and using the control stick, read the “Flight control” subsection. 3. Touch the center of the control pad with the ring. 38 ⓒ 2019. this is engineering Inc. All Rights Reserved.
SHIFT RED User Manual 4. Maintain the contact with the pad for over one second, and the drone will take off while playing a takeoff melody. After takeoff, lift the ring off the pad. 5. When the drone succeeds in automatic takeoff, the front LED and power button LED on the drone blink once, and the drone stands by while hovering at a height of 1 m (3.3 ft). For details on controlling after takeoff, read the “Flight Control” subsection.
Landing 1. While the drone is hovering, touch the center of the pad with the ring for over one second to initiate automatic landing. During automatic landing, you cannot control the drone by moving the ring. 2. Once the drone comes to a complete stop, the controller vibrates and the motors stop automatically. Make sure the drone is within 10 m (33 ft) around you during takeoff or landing. 40 ⓒ 2019. this is engineering Inc. All Rights Reserved.
SHIFT RED User Manual Flight Control 1. As shown in the figure, wear the ring on your left or right thumb with the thicker part facing downward. Wrap your other fingers around the control stick, and place your index finger on the jog button. The control ring is ergonomically designed with different shapes at the top and bottom; insert your thumb through the wider opening so that the narrower opening is nearer to your fingertip.
2. While the drone is hovering, press and hold the jog button as shown in the figure to switch to flight mode. Ring control is enabled after the controller vibrates once. 1cm When switching to flight mode using the jog button, the center of the ring on your thumb should be within 1 cm (0.4 in) around and above the center of the controller pad. If the ring is out of the range, the controller gives off a warning and fails in switching to flight mode.
SHIFT RED User Manual 3. The drone flies proportionately to the height and direction of the ring. Move your ring-wearing thumb in the desired direction of flight, and the drone will fly in the same direction. ⓒ 2019. this is engineering Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Your thumb with the ring should be at an adequate height above the controller pad to allow better control over the flight altitude. The degree of acceleration or deceleration can be set proportionately to the distance moved by the ring. Read the “Preference Settings” subsection under the “Handling the Controller” section. 44 ⓒ 2019. this is engineering Inc. All Rights Reserved.
SHIFT RED User Manual 4. When turning the head of the aircraft to the desired direction, turn the jog button accordingly. 5. If you press the jog button during flight, the controller vibrates once and the drone switches to hovering. ⓒ 2019. this is engineering Inc. All Rights Reserved.
6. If the ring is out of the sensing range of the controller, the controller vibrates once and the drone automatically switches to hovering. To prevent unintended loss of control over the aircraft during flight, the controller warns the user by vibrating at different levels as the ring approaches the detection limit. The controller’s range of ring detection may change unpredictably depending on surrounding sources of electromagnetic interference, and this may hinder flight control. 7.
SHIFT RED User Manual Emergency Measures Manual emergency stop · The drone motors stop immediately when you press the jog button and power button on the controller at the same time. Exercise caution as a manual stop in midflight may cause damage to the aircraft or personal injuries. Self-stopping of the drone · In case of a sudden change in surroundings such as a temperature drop or battery shortage, the drone switches to self-stopping to protect itself and maintain the battery performance.
Self-stopping of the controller · In case of a sudden change in surroundings such as a temperature drop or battery shortage, the controller switches to self-stopping to protect itself and maintain the battery performance. · Once the controller switches to this mode, it vibrates and sounds for 30 seconds to notify the user of an emergency. After the 30 seconds of warning, the controller is automatically powered off.
