Quick Start Guide

Battery Module Setup

With the X55 in the case, Insert landing gear into the landing gear mount, close the latch and install the safety pin.
Remove the X55 from the Travel Case.
Lift the arm holder knobs to release the arms. Unfold the arms and remove the prop protectors.
Secure the arms in the open position using the knobs and latches.
Check propeller blades and motors for any sign of damage.
Secure the antennas to the landing gear.
Place the Power Module on top of the X55 and close all four latches.
Install the payload and check the center of gravity (CG).

Make sure to use the pre-flight checklist.
Turn on the Herelink Controller.
Go to the QGC software application.
Plug the main power cable into the X55 and the battery module. Keep the X55 still during initialization until the musical tone is finished, and just the beeping sound of the motors/ESCs remains.
Check failsafe and flight mode settings.
Check for any error or warning and confirm the GPS is fixed.
Press the arm switch when you’re in a safe takeoff location.
To arm the drone, push the throttle all the way to the bottom right. You will hear a long beep. Once armed, all motors will start to spin.
Increase the throttle gradually to take off.
After the flight is completed, return to a safe location to land the X55. Once the X55 touches the ground, bring the throttle all the way down and to the bottom left to disarm the drone. Make sure you hear the beep sound before letting go of the throttle stick.
Press the arm switch before removing the payload or unplugging the main power cable. Turn off the controller.
Use the post-flight checklist.
