PAIRING AND CALIBRATION

PAIRING THE KARMA DRONE AND THE KARMA CONTROLLER

If you replace the Karma Drone and/or the Karma Controller, you must
manually pair the two components.

1. Press the Power button [ ] on the controller.
2. Press the Power button [ ] on Karma until the orientation lights

on the arms blink front to back.

3. From the Home menu, tap Connect, then tap Pairing.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions.

CALIBRATION

Accelerometer and compass calibration might be required at times to
ensure the best flight performance from Karma.

The compass and accelerometer on both the drone and the controller
are calibrated automatically. However, if either of these components
must be recalibrated, the controller notifies you and provides step-by-
step instructions to guide you through the process.

BATTERY USE AND SAFETY

Do not drop, disassemble, open, crush, bend, deform, puncture, shred,
microwave, incinerate, or paint your Karma battery or Karma controller.
Do not insert foreign objects into the battery bay on your Karma. Do
not use your Karma or any GoPro product containing a battery if the
product has been damaged—for example, if cracked, punctured, or in
contact with liquids.

WARNING: Handle and store batteries properly to

avoid injury or damage. Most battery issues arise from

improper handling of batteries and, particularly, from the

continued use of damaged batteries.

Battery fluid can cause serious burns to the skin and eyes. In the unlikely
event that battery fluid leaks onto your skin, wash the affected area with
plenty of water and seek medical advice immediately.

Do not expose your Karma or battery to excessive heat, including direct
sunlight or fire and storage or use inside cars in hot weather, where it
can be exposed to temperatures in excess of 140

(60

). Doing so may

cause the battery to generate heat, rupture, or ignite. Using your Karma
battery in this manner also may result in loss of performance and a
shortened life expectancy.

If the battery is damaged and ignites, do not use water to extinguish
flames. Instead, use a functioning fire extinguisher. Do not short-circuit
batteries. Avoid storing them around metal objects such as keys, pocket
change, paper clips, and jewelry.

The battery charger must be used indoors only. It is neither designed
nor tested for outdoors, in recreation vehicles, or on boats. Make
no modifications to the battery charger. Unauthorized alterations
may compromise safety, regulatory compliance, and battery charger
performance, and may void the warranty. Do not drop the battery
charger or batteries.
