HOW TO PROGRAM AND USE CUSTOM INTERVAL BUTTONS

The programmable interval buttons located on the pulse rate grips are designed to help you customize this machine to match whatever workout you like to do the most.1
The LEFT and RIGHT INTERVAL BUTTONS are programmable for speed and incline.
To program the INTERVAL button, you must select a user, start the machine, set the desired speed and incline, press and hold the desired INTERVAL button for three seconds until the treadmill beeps. Now the INTERVAL button is programmed to your settings. After programming the INTERVAL button, it will remember the setting for that user until reprogrammed.
Now when the INTERVAL button is pressed, the treadmill speed and incline will change to the settings you programmed for that button.
The most common type of workout these keys will help with is interval training. We suggest programming one of the INTERVAL buttons to your high intensity segments and the other to your recovery segments.
Another common use is to set one INTERVAL button to your warm up and cool down settings and the other to your desired workout settings.
These buttons should allow you to customize the settings of your treadmill to quickly fit the type of workout you enjoy most.

FAT BURN: Relatively slow and steady is the name of the game to maximize your weight-loss goals. Promotes weight loss by increasing and decreasing the speed and incline, while keeping you in your fat burning zone.

Speed and Incline changes, segments repeat every 30 seconds.

CUSTOM: Allows you to create and reuse your perfect workout with a combination of a specific speed, incline and time or distance. The ultimate in personal programming. This is a time or distance based goal program.

TARGET PROFILES

DISTANCE: Push yourself and go further during your workout with 13 distance workouts. Choose from 1 mile, 2 miles, 5k, 5 miles, 10k, 8 miles, 15k, 10 miles, 20k, half marathon, 15 miles, 20 miles, and marathon goals. You set your level.

Incline changes and all segments are 0.1 miles.

CALORIES: Set goals for burning calories from 20 to 980 calories in 20 calorie increments. You set your level to keep you in your fat burning zone.

TARGET HEART RATE: This program is designed for you to improve your overall cardiovascular fitness levels. You simply set your target heart rate. The program will then monitor and adjust the intensity level to maintain your heart rate within your targeted range while you exercise – a proven method to maximize your weight loss and fitness goals. A chest strap is required and must be worn during the duration of this program. See below for calculating your target heart rate.

Calculating Your Target Heart Rate
The first step in knowing the right intensity for your training is to find out your maximum heart rate (max HR = 220 – your age). The agebased method provides an average statistical prediction of your max HR and is a good method for the majority of people, especially those new to heart rate training.
The most precise and accurate way of determining your individual max HR is to have it clinically tested by a cardiologist or exercise physiologist through the use of a maximal stress test. If you are over the age of 40, overweight, have been sedentary for several years, or have a history of heart disease in your family, clinical testing is recommended.
This chart gives examples of the heart rate range for a 30 year old exercising at 5 different heart rate zones. For example, a 30-year-old’s max HR is 220 – 30 = 190 bpm and 90% max HR is 190 × 0.9 = 171 bpm.

Additional target heart rate notes:
The treadmill incline will automatically adjust to bring you near your specified heart rate.
If there is no heart rate detected, the unit will not change the incline.
If your heart rate is 25 beats over your target zone the program will shut down.

Target Heart Rate Zone: Workout Duration: Example THR (age 30): Your THR: Recommend For

VERY HARD 90 – 100%: < 5 min: 171-190 BPM:  –  : Fit persons for athletic training
HARD 80 – 90%: 2-10 min: 152-171 BPM:  –  : Shorter Workouts
MODERATE 70 – 80%: 10-40 min: 133-152 BPM:  –  : Moderately long
Workouts
LIGHT 60 – 70%: 40-80 min: 114-133 BPM:  –  : Longer and frequently repeated shorter exercises
VERY LIGHT 50 – 60%: 20-40 min: 104-114 BPM:  –  : Weight management and active recovery

CUSTOM HEART RATE: This program allows you to set your Heart Rate for a specified time. The program will adjust incline to keep your Heart Rate in your target zone. Build multiple Heart Rate targets into a full program to help you reach your cardiovascular goals. The program total time includes a 4 minute warm up and 4 minute cool down time. Your selected custom heart rates will repeat after the warm up until 4 minutes before the total time expires.

SPRINTS 8: A time based program that allows you to select a level. After warm up, the program will give you 30 seconds at a high speed and intensity, alternating with 90 seconds at a lower recovery speed. Increasing levels will allow you to keep your calorie burn high and increase your overall running speed.

TREADMILL SPRINT 8 CHART
Speed changes and segments repeat 90 and 30 seconds.

TO RESET THE CONSOLE

Hold STOP key for 3 seconds.

FINISHING YOUR WORKOUT

When your workout is complete, the unit will beep. Your workout information will stay displayed on the console for 30 seconds and then reset.

USING YOUR MUSIC DEVICE

The 7.8AT Treadmill will connect and stream music form your compatible music device. This includes many smart phones and traditional mp3 players such as the iPod®.
Your 7.8AT Treadmill comes equipped with Bluetooth speakers. Bluetooth compatible devices (running Bluetooth 4.0) can stream music wirelessly from your device to the speakers. You can also connect your music device via an audio cable and still stream music through the speakers. Instructions for both types of audio connection are detailed below.

CONNECTING VIA BLUETOOTH 4.0LE

1. Check to ensure that your music device is Bluetooth 4.0 compatible
2. Go into your device’s Bluetooth settings and scan for devices.
3. On your music device, locate the Bluetooth device list. Select your unit that appears on this list.
   Wait for your music device to finish pairing with the unit.
4. You will know when pairing is successful when your music device shows the unit as now being a paired device.

WHEN UNIT IS POWERED OFF THEN BACK ON
If you turn your unit off, or if it goes into sleep mode, the next time it is powered on the unit will look to pair with the last music device with which it was paired. It will automatically pair at this time.
RE-PAIRING MUSIC DEVICES
In the event that the unit cannot find the last paired music device (for example, the music device is off or not being used) then the unit will stop looking to pair with the music device. If this happens, and if you wish to use your music device again, then you will need to go through the pairing process listed above and re-pair through your music device’s settings.
USING MULTIPLE MUSIC DEVICES
If multiple devices are being paired with the unit (i.e.: multiple users are using the unit and pairing their music devices with it) then the unit will look to pair with the last device used and “forget” other devices. If you wish to re-pair a “forgotten” music device, then you will need to un-pair the current paired device and then re-pair your device through the pairing procedure noted above.
CONNECTING VIA AN AUDIO CABLE

1. Connect the included AUDIO ADAPTOR CABLE to the AUDIO IN JACK on the top right of the console and the headphone jack on your music device.
2. Use your CD / MP3 player buttons to adjust song settings.
3. Remove the AUDIO ADAPTOR CABLE when not in use.
4. If you don’t want to use the SPEAKERS, you can plug your headphones into the AUDIO OUT JACK at the bottom of the console. This ensures that if you accidentally catch the headphone line while running, you won’t drop your device to the ground.

AFG TABLET CONNECTED FITNESS SYSTEM
Your Horizon machine is tablet ready, allowing you to use Bluetooth 4.0 technology to wirelessly connect your tablet to your Horizon machine. Using
the free downloadable AFG PRO FITNESS app will enable you to control your unit’s operating functions via your tablet. The app will also allow you to
monitor your workout, track your progress and view your workout history. The AFG PRO FITNESS app can be downloaded from either the iTunes store
for iOS devices or from the Google store for Android devices.
For information about connecting your tablet to your Horizon machine setting up the AFG PRO FITNESS and controlling and monitoring your workout
with your tablet, see the AFG Connected Fitness Manual included with your unit.
BLUETOOTH HEART RATE MONITORING
The 7.8AT Treadmill is equipped with multi-channel Bluetooth which enables you to wirelessly connect compatible Bluetooth heart rate monitoring devices to this unit. You will need to ensure that your wireless heart rate monitoring device is Bluetooth 4.0 compatible and is also “open” to sharing data. Non-“open” or “closed” devices typically only share data with their proprietary apps. The 7.8AT Treadmill needs an “open” device to receive data from the device. You may need to consult with your device’s owner’s manual or the manufacturer to confirm if it is an open device.
If you are using a tablet and running the AFG PRO FITNESS app, the compatible Bluetooth heart rate monitoring device will pair automatically to the app. The machine’s console will then receive the heart rate information from your tablet.

WARNING: Always activate throttle hold and wait until the main rotor blades and tail rotor stop spinning before handling the model.

The throttle trim on the transmitter must remain at the center position. Raising the throttle trim above center may cause the main and tail motors to begin spinning.

LED Indicator on Flight Controller

SMART Throttle

The new line of Spektrum ESCs feature a telemetry function called SMART Throttle. SMART Throttle technology combines the throttle signal with telemetry data from the ESC on one normal three wire servo connector.
SMART Throttle ESCs can send current, voltage, ESC temp, and mAh consumed. They can also pass along battery data from compatible Spektrum SMART batteries. SMART Throttle telemetry data shows up on your transmitter like any other telemetry sensor.
For SMART Throttle to function you must have a SMART Throttle ESC paired with a SMART Throttle telemetry receiver, and a Spektrum DSMX transmitter with telemetry. Only certain Spektrum products include SMART technology compatibility, check your receiver and ESC manual for more information. An update for your transmitter may be required for SMART features. (See www.spektrumrc.com to register and update your transmitter.)

To activate SMART Telemetry:

1. Keep the vehicle powered on after binding the transmitter to the receiver
2. On your Spektrum transmitter, Scroll to the Telemetry screen
3. Scroll to Settings
4. Select Auto Config
   To activate Speed infomation using SMART Telemetry:
5. After doing the initial SMART telemetry configuration keep the vehicle powered on
6. Scroll to the Telemetry screen
7. Scroll to SMART ESC and double select
8. Scroll down to NEXT
9. Enter the values for the magnetic pole count of the motor and the gear ratio (motor and gear ratio information can be found in the manual for your vehicle)

When the radio is on and connected to a receiver sending SMART Data, the SMART Logo will appear under the battery logo on the home page and a signal bar will appear in the top left corner of the screen. Scrolling down, past the servo monitor, the SMART screens will appear. Select either ESC, battery, or both for display to suit your preference.

Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)

The ESC will continuously lower power to the motor until complete shutdown when the battery reaches 9V under load. This helps prevent over-discharge of the Li-Po battery. Land immediately when the ESC activates LVC. Continuing to fly after LVC can damage the battery, cause a crash or both. Crash damage and batteries damaged due to over-discharge are not covered under warranty.
Repeatedly flying the helicopter until LVC activates will damage the helicopter battery.
Disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the aircraft after use to prevent trickle discharge. During storage, make sure the battery charge does not fall below 3V per cell.

Transmitter and Receiver Binding

This product requires an approved Spektrum DSM2®/DSMX® compatible transmitter. ® Visit www.bindnfly.com for a complete list of approved transmitters.

CAUTION: When using a Futaba® transmitter with a SpektrumTM DSM2® module, you must reverse the throttle channel and re-bind. Refer to your Spektrum module manual for binding and failsafe instructions. Refer to your Futaba transmitter manual for instructions on reversing the throttle channel.

SAFE Technology

Revolutionary SAFE® (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) technology uses an innovative combination of multi-axis sensors and software that allows model aircraft to know its position relative to the horizon. This spatial awareness is utilized to create a controlled flight envelope the aircraft can use to maintain a safe region of bank and pitch angles so you can fly more safely. Far beyond stability, this level of protection offers multiple modes so the pilot can choose to develop his or her skills with a greater degree of security and flight control that always feels crisp and responsive.
Flight Mode and Rate Selection

SAFE technology delivers:

• Flight envelope protection you can enable at the flip of
  a switch.
• Multiple modes let you adapt SAFE technology to your skill level instantly.

Best of all, sophisticated SAFE technology doesn’t require any work to enjoy. Every aircraft with SAFE installed is ready to use and optimized to offer the best possible flight experience.
FlySAFERC.com

Flight Mode and Rate Selection

In Stability Mode the bank angle is limited. When the cyclic stick is released the model will return to level. In Intermediate Mode the bank angle is not limited. When the cyclic stick is released the model will not return to level. This mode is great for learning forward flight and basic aerobatics such as stall turns and loops.
Panic Recovery

In Agility Mode the bank angle is not limited. When the cyclic stick is released the model will not return to level. This mode is great for 3D aerobatics such as stationary flips and tic tocs.
Change rates in any mode by moving the two-position dual rate switch.

• Low rate reduces the control rates, providing an easier to fly model. Beginners should use low rate for initial flights.
• High rate provides full control and should be used by intermediate and experience pilots.

Panic Recovery

If you get into distress while flying in any mode, activate the panic function and move the control sticks to their neutral position. SAFE technology will immediately return the aircraft to an upright level attitude, if the aircraft is at a sufficient height with no obstacles in its path. Return the collective stick to 50% and deactivate the Panic Recovery Function to return to the current flight mode.

NOTICE: Before deactivating Panic Recovery , make sure the collective stick has been returned to the 50% position. Once the Panic Recovery has been deactivated, full negative collective becomes available, which could cause the 150 S Smart to descend rapidly.

• This mode is intended to provide the pilot with the confidence to continue to improve their flight skills.
• Move the collective stick to 50% and return all other transmitter controls to neutral for the quickest recovery.
• Once the model has reached a level upright attitude, the negative collective is reduced to prevent the user from pushing the model into the ground.

Throttle Hold

Throttle hold is used to prevent the motor from powering on inadvertently. For safety, turn throttle hold ON any time you need to touch the helicopter or check the direction controls.
Control Tests

Throttle hold is also used to turn off the motor quickly if the helicopter is out of control, in danger of crashing, or both. The blades will continue to spin briefly when throttle hold is activated.

Control Tests

Ensure the throttle hold is ON when doing the direction control tests. Test the controls prior to the first flight to ensure the servos, linkages and parts operate correctly.

If the controls do not react as shown in the illustrations below, confirm the transmitter is programmed correctly before continuing on to the Motor test.

• Elevator
  
• Aileron
  
• Collective pitch
  

Motor
Place the helicopter outdoors on a clean, flat and level surface (concrete or asphalt) free of obstructions. Always stay clear of moving rotor blades.

CAUTION: Keep pets and other animals away from the helicopter. Animals may injure themselves if they attack or run toward the helicopter.

1. Both motors beep 3 times when the helicopter’s ESC arms properly. Before you continue, confirm that throttle is at full low position.
2. Turn Throttle Hold OFF.
   WARNING: Stay at least 30 feet (10 meters) away from the helicopter when the motor is running. Do not attempt to fly the helicopter at this time.
3. Slowly increase the throttle until the blades begin to spin. The main blades should spin clockwise when viewing the helicopter from the top. The tail rotor blades should spin counterclockwise when viewing the helicopter from the right side.
   NOTICE: If the main rotor blades are spinning counterclockwise, reduce the throttle to low immediately. Disconnect the battery from the helicopter and reverse any two motor wire connections to the ESC and repeat the motor control test.

Understanding the Primary Flight Controls

If you are not familiar with the controls of your aircraft, take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with them before attempting your first flight.

• Rudder left Elevator
  
• Elevator
  
• Aileron
  

Flying the 150 S Smart

Consult your local laws and ordinances before choosing a location to fly your aircraft.
We recommend flying your aircraft outside in calm winds or inside a large gymnasium. Always avoid flying near houses, trees, wires and buildings. You should also be careful to avoid flying in areas where there are many people, such as busy parks, schoolyards or soccer fields.
It is best to fly from a smooth flat surface as this will allow the model to slide without tipping over. Keep the helicopter approximately 2 ft (600mm) above the ground. Keep the tail pointed toward you during initial flights to keep the control orientation consistent. Releasing the stick in Stability Mode will allow the helicopter to level itself. Activating the Panic Recovery button will level the helicopter quickly. If you become disoriented while in Stability Mode, slowly lower the throttle stick to land softly.
During initial flights, only attempt takeoff, landing and hovering in one spot.
Takeoff
NOTICE: If the main motor or tail motor do not start up properly when throttle is first applied, immediately return the throttle to the low position and try again. If the problem persists, disconnect the flight battery, check for binding in the gear train and ensure no wires have become entangled within the gears.
Place the model onto a flat, level surface free of obstacles and walk back 30 feet (10 meters). Slowly increase the throttle until the model is approximately 2 ft. (600mm) off the ground and begin flying the model.

Hovering
Making small corrections on the transmitter, try to hold the helicopter in one spot. If flying in calm winds, the model should require almost no corrective inputs. After moving the cyclic stick and returning it to center, the model should level itself. The model may continue to move due to inertia. Move the cycle stick in the opposite direction to stop the movement.
After you become comfortable hovering, you can progress into flying the model to different locations, keeping the tail pointed towards you at all times. You can also ascend and descend using the throttle stick. Once you’re comfortable with these maneuvers, you can attempt flying with the tail in different orientations. It is important to keep in mind that the flight control inputs will rotate with the helicopter, so always try to picture the control inputs relative to the nose of the helicopter. For example, forward will always drop the nose of the helicopter.

Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)
LVC decreases the power to the motors when the battery voltage gets low. When the motor power decreases and the red LED on the ESC flashes, land the aircraft immediately and recharge the flight battery.
LVC does not prevent the battery from over-discharge during storage.
NOTICE: Repeated flying to LVC will damage the battery.

Landing
To land, slowly decrease the throttle while in a low-level hover. After landing, disconnect and remove the battery from the aircraft after use to prevent trickle discharge. Review your manufacturers provided LiPo guidelines for charging and storage information.

Advanced Tuning (Forward Programming)

Applies to forward programming capable Spektrum Transmitters including DX6e, DX8e, DX6G2, DX7G2, DX8G2, DX9, iX12, DX18, iX20, DX20, NX6, NX8, NX10 The 150 S Smart default settings are appropriate for most users. We recommend flying with the default parameters before making any adjustments.

The 150 S Smart BNF flight controller may be programmed from any compatible Spektrum transmitter (visit SpektrumRC.com for more information).
The flight controller shipped with BNF models has a range of adjustable parameters suitable for the 150 S Smart Helicopter and is not intended for use in other aircraft.
It is important to use the included servos with the BNF flight controller because the adjustable parameters available for the SPMAR6250MHXC are designed around the recommended servos. It is possible there may not be enough range for the helicopter to be tuned when using alternative servos.

Entering the Advanced Parameters Menu
With the helicopter bound to the transmitter and powered on, enter the Function List and select Forward Programming. The list of adjustable parameters and the range of values available for tuning have been tailored for this helicopter. Make small changes to one parameter at a time and test fly the changes before changing the parameter further or changing a different parameter.

Calibration Procedure:
If the helicopter is experiencing drift issues, perform the following calibration. The calibration procedure may also be needed following crash repairs.

1. Ensure the surface used for calibration is level.
2. Power on the transmitter and activate throttle hold.
3. Connect the flight batter to the ESC and allowing the model to initialize.
4. Turn Throttle Hold ON.
5. Using a bubble level as shown below, level the helicopter by placing a shim under the landing skid.
6. Enter the Function List on your transmitter.
7. Select Forward Programming.
8. Select System Setup.
9. Select Calibration.
10. Select Apply and the calibration will begin. The LED will flash yellow indicating the calibration is proceeding normally. If the LED changes to red this indicates the model is not near level or the model was moved, in this case the calibration starts over.
11. After the calibration is successfully completed, the receiver LED will will change to a slow green flash which indicates the calibration has completed.
12. Proceed to the pre-flight check list procedure before flying your model.

Factory Reset
If the process of tuning the 150 S Smart helicopter results in undesirable flight performance, you can reset the settings back to factory defaults by selecting the Factory Reset option in Forward Programming.

1. Enter the Function List
2. Select Forward Programming
3. Select System Setup
4. Select Factory Reset
5. Select Apply
6. Perform the Setup->Swashplate->Sub Trim function and ensure the servos are properly trimmed.
7. Proceed with the pre-flight check list procedure before flying the model.

Advanced Tuning (Non-Forward Programming)

Applies to Spektrum transmitters not capable of forward programing including DX6i, DX6e, DX7s DX8, and DX8e

Your Blade 150 S Smart was setup at the factory and test flown. The servo adjustment steps are usually only necessary in special circumstances, such as after a crash or if a servo or linkage is replaced.
For pilots flying with a transmitter not capable of forward programming use the following procedures to make servo adjustments and perform the calibration procedure.

The advanced tuning options must be entered within 30 seconds after initialization completes. In addition the combination of dual rates and travel adjustments must result in a throw greater than 65% in order to enter the tuning modes.

Entering Servo Adjustment Mode

1. Lower the throttle stick to the lowest position.
2. Power ON the transmitter and activate throttle hold.
3. Install the flight battery on the helicopter frame, securing it with the hook and loop strap.
4. Connect the battery connector to the ESC.
5. After initialization is complete (indicated by a slowgreen flash), hold the left stick to the bottom left corner and the right stick to the bottom right corner as shown.
   
6. Servo Adjustment Mode is indicated by the swashplate servos jumping and then slowly moving back to center.
7. Release the sticks and proceed to the next step.

Adjusting the Servo Neutral Position
With the model in Servo Adjustment Mode, the control stick and gyro inputs are disabled and the servos are held in the neutral position. Check the position of the servo arms to verify they are perpendicular to the servos.

• If the arms are perpendicular to the servos, no adjustment is necessary. Exit Servo Adjustment Mode.
• If one or more servo arm is not perpendicular to the servos, continue the servo adjustment process.

While watching the swashplate servos, apply fore or aft cyclic and release. One of the servos will jump, indicating the selected servo. Apply fore or aft cyclic and release until the servo that needs to be adjusted is selected.
Once the servo you wish to adjust is selected, move the cyclic stick left or right to adjust the servo neutral position in the desired direction.
To reset the current servo to the default neutral position, hold the rudder stick full right for two seconds.
The range of adjustment is limited. If you are unable to adjust the servo arm to be perpendicular to the servo, you must reset the servo to the default neutral position, remove the servo arm and place it back onto the servo as close to perpendicular as possible. You may then adjust the servo neutral position using left or right cyclic stick.

Swashplate Leveling
Before saving your adjustments and exiting servo adjustment mode, verify the swashplate is level and both main rotor blades are at 0 degrees pitch.
If they are not, make linkage adjustments as necessary.

Saving the Servo Adjustments

1. Lower the throttle stick to the lowest position and release the sticks.
2. Move the tail rotor stick to the left and hold for four seconds to exit Servo Adjustment Mode. The servos will jump indicating a return to normal operation.
3. Release the tail rotor stick.
4. Perform the pre-flight checklist procedure before flying your model.

Your helicopter was setup at the factory and test flown. The servo adjustment steps are only necessary in special circumstances, such as after a crash or if a servo or linkage is replaced.

WARNING: To ensure your safety, always disconnect the motor wires from the ESC before performing the following steps. After you have completed the adjustments, reconnect the motor wires to the ESC before attempting to fly the model.

Entering Servo Adjustment Mode

1. Lower the throttle stick to the lowest position.
2. Power ON the transmitter.
3. Install the flight battery on the helicopter frame, secur- ing it with the hook and loop strap.
4. Connect the battery connector to the ESC.
5. Place the helicopter on a flat surface and leave it still
   until the orange receiver LED glows solid, indicating initialization is complete.
6. Set the rate switch on the transmitter to the high rate.
7. Hold the left stick to the bottom left corner and the right stick to the bottom right corner as shown.
   
8. Activate the panic recovery function until the swash servos move.
9. Release the sticks and deactivate panic recovery. The model is now in Gain Adjustment Mode.
10. Proceed to Adjusting the Servo Neutral Position to make any desired changes.

Adjusting the Servo Neutral Position

With the model in Servo Adjustment Mode, the control stick and gyro inputs are disabled and the servos are held in the neutral position. Check the position of the servo arms to see if they are perpendicular to the servos.

• If the arms are perpendicular to the servos, no adjustment is necessary. Exit Servo Adjustment Mode.
• If one or more servo arm is not perpendicular to the servos, continue the servo adjustment process.

While watching the swashplate servos, apply right cyclic and release. One of the servos will jump, indicating which servo is selected. Press right cyclic and release until the servo that needs to be adjusted is selected.

Once the servo you wish to adjust is selected, move the cyclic stick forward or backward to adjust the servo neutral position in the desired direction.
If you would like to reset the current servo to the default neutral position, hold the rudder stick full right for 1 second.
The range of adjustment is limited. If you are unable to adjust the servo arm to be perpendicular to the servo, you must reset the servo to the default neutral position, remove the servo arm and place it back onto the servo as close to perpendicular as possible. You may then adjust the servo neutral position using the forward/backward cyclic stick.

Saving the Servo Adjustments

Before saving your adjustments and exiting servo adjustment mode, verify the swashplate is level and both main rotor blades are at 0 degrees. If they are not, make linkage adjustments as necessary.

1. Lower the throttle stick to the lowest position and release the sticks.
2. Press and hold switch I until the swash servos move.
3. Release switch I to save the servo adjustments.
4. Disconnect the flight battery from the ESC.
5. Reconnect the main drive motor to the ESC. Your model is now ready for flight.

All of the settings are stored internally, so your adjustments will be maintained each time you initialize the model.

Trim Flight

Perform this procedure if the model is not performing well or has  been recently rebuilt from a crash.
The trim flight procedure was performed during the factory test flight and only needs to be performed if you notice the model is not returning to level consistently or if the model does not remain still during stationary pirouettes.
The trim flight is used to determine the optimal settings for SAFE® technology during flight.
The trim flight must be performed in calm conditions.

Entering Trim Flight Mode

1. Lower the throttle stick to the lowest position.
2. Center all trims.
3. Power ON the transmitter.
4. Install the flight battery in the helicopter.
5. Connect the battery connector to the ESC.
6. Place the helicopter on a flat surface and leave it still
   until the motor beeps twice and the blue ESC LED glows solid, indicating initialization is complete.
7. Place the helicopter where you are going to take off.
8. Move and hold the left stick to the bottom left corner and the right stick to the top left corner as shown.
   
9. Activate Panic Recovery until the swashplate rotates around once.
10. Release the sticks and deactivate panic recovery.
11. The model is ready for the trim flight.

Performing the Trim Flight

1.  Slowly increase the throttle to lift the model into a stationary hover. Make corrections as necessary to keep the model still. Evaluation does not begin until the throttle stick is over 50% and the sticks are centered. Making corrections will not affect the result but a longer flight may be necessary.
2. Keep the model stationary in a hover for 120 seconds. Sliding and slow movements are okay. The main goal is to keep the rotor disk level.
3. Once you are satisfied with the trim flight, land the model.

Exiting Trim Flight Mode

1.  After landing, lower the throttle stick to the lowest position.
2.  Activate Panic Recovery for 2 seconds, or until the swashplate moves, indicating the servo positions and attitude values have been recorded and trim flight mode has been exited.

Flight Test

After performing the trim flight, test-fly the model to evaluate the leveling characteristics.

• The model should return to level flight consistently. necessary. If you are still experiencing problems after several attempts please perform the calibration procedure and try the trim flight procedure again.
• During takeoff, the model should lift off with minimal corrections
• During a hover, the control stick should remain close to center. Small corrections are acceptable.

If the model performs poorly or does not level properly after the trim flight, retry the entire trim flight procedure. If the problem persists, inspect the model for damaged components, a bent shaft or anything that may result in increased vibration. The trim flight may not record the correct values due to excessive vibration, flying in wind or the model not staying level. In these cases, shorter trim flights may be necessary. If you are still experiencing problems after several attempts please perform the calibration procedure and try the trim flight procedure again.

Calibration Procedure

If the Blade 150 S Smart is experiencing drift issues after completing the trim flight procedure located at www.bladehelis. com, perform the following calibration. The calibration procedure may also be needed following crash repairs.

WARNING: Before beginning the calibration procedure, disconnect the main motor and tail motor leads to prevent accidental motor startup during calibration.
To perform the calibration procedure:

1. Ensure the surface used for calibration is level.
2. Power on the transmitter and helicopter, allowing them to initialize.
3. Turn Throttle Hold ON
4.  Ensure the main motor and tail motor leads are disconnected. Set the flight mode switch to Intermediate Mode (FM1).
5.  Using a bubble level as shown below, level the helicopter by placing the Blade 150 S Smart foam blade holder under the tail fin. Use additional items, as necessary, to build up under the tail fin until the tail boom is level.
   
6. Hold the left stick to the bottom right corner, the right stick to the upper left corner and activate the Panic Recovery function until the LED on the receiver flashes once
   
7. Release both sticks and deactivate the Panic Recovery function
8. The LED on the receiver will remain solid for 1-2 minutes while the calibration takes place. Do not move the helicopter until the calibration is completed. If the LED begins blinking rapidly, an error has occurred. Begin the calibration procedure again, starting with step Bubble leve
9. After the calibration is successfully completed, the receiver LED will blink slowly (2 seconds on, 2 seconds off).
10. Power the helicopter off.
11. Reconnect the main motor and tail motor wires Foam blade holder
12. Perform the trim flight procedure
13. During subsequent flights after the trim flight, the helicopter should return to within 5 degrees of level consistently.
