LOW BATTERY INDICATOR

The LEDs on the KODO will flash when the battery voltage is low and the model should land as soon as possible to avoid damaging the battery. Always unplug
the battery after flight. The battery needs to be charged before the quadcopter is stored.

MOTOR REPLACEMENT

The motors are not hard to replace, but a soldering
iron will be required to remove and replace the wires.

1. Remove the propeller from the motor.
2. Remove the motor cover from the bottom of the

motor holder.

3. While holding any two of the clamping arms away

from the motor, press the motor shaft down on the
workbench until the remaining clamp comes loose
so the motor can be removed from the holder.

4. Unsolder the wires from the frame and remove the
motor from the holder.
5. Verify that the wires on the new motor are the same color.
6. Push the new motor down in the holder until the clamping arms are back in position over the end of the motor.
7. Solder the wires to the frame. The wire on the right side of the frame should always be blue or white.
8. Install the motor cover and replace the propeller if it is undamaged.

PREPARING TO FLY

Your KODO is fitted with a Power-On failsafe. This is designed to ensure that the motors will not start until the KODO has detected the controller.

Important! When you are finished with your flight, immediately UNPLUG the battery.

CAMERA OPERATION

Please disconnect the battery before the memory card is inserted or removed from the camera.
When KODO is linked with the controller and the card is installed correctly, there will be a
steady blue LED just above the card. A red LED flashing next to the blue LED when the camera
is not operating indicates that the card is missing or not installed correctly.

To record a video, press the “V” button. The red
LED next to the blue LED above the card will
flash slowly to indicate that the camera is
recording. Press the “V” button again to stop
the recording and store the video on the card.
If the KODO battery is unplugged while the camera is
recording, the video will not be saved onto the card.

To capture a photo, press the “P” button. The
red LED on the quadwill flash once to indicate
that a photo has been captured and stored.
