- Secure the battery to the top plate using the provided battery straps and anti-slip pads to prevent movement during flight.
4.3 O4 Air Unit Pro Integration
The drone is designed for seamless integration with the O4 Air Unit Pro Transmission Module and Camera, which provides enhanced image clarity and light sensitivity for FPV and recording.
- Ensure the O4 Air Unit Pro is correctly seated and connected according to the manufacturer's instructions for the air unit.
- Verify the O4 Air Unit Pro Antenna is securely attached and positioned for optimal signal transmission.
4.4 Optional GPS Module Installation (GEP-M10 GPS)
If you have the optional GEP-M10 GPS module, follow these steps for installation:
- Mount the GPS module in the designated location on the drone frame, typically away from other electronics to minimize interference.
- Connect the GPS module to the flight controller (GEP-F722-HD v2) using the appropriate port (UART). Refer to the flight controller diagram for specific pinouts.
- Configure the GPS settings within the Betaflight configurator (see section 4.6).
4.5 Vinculació del receptor
The drone supports PNP (Plug-N-Play), GEPRC ELRS24, or TBS Nano RX receivers. Refer to your specific receiver's manual for binding procedures with your radio transmitter.
- Ensure your receiver is correctly wired to the flight controller.
- Follow the binding instructions for your chosen receiver and radio transmitter.
- Verify successful binding through the Betaflight configurator (Receiver tab).
4.6 Configuració de Betaflight
The drone comes with a GEP-F722-HD v2 flight controller. Basic configuration is typically pre-tuned, but adjustments may be necessary.
- Download and install the latest Betaflight Configurator software on your computer.
- Connect the drone to your computer via a USB cable.
- In Betaflight, verify sensor calibration (Gyro: ICM42688-P, Barometer).
- Check motor direction and ESC settings (TAKER H60_BLS 60A 4IN1 ESC).
- Configure OSD (On-Screen Display) elements as desired.
- If using GPS, enable and configure the GPS module in the Ports and Configuration tabs.

5. Instruccions de funcionament
5.1 Comprovacions prèvies al vol
- Ensure battery is fully charged and securely mounted.
- Verify propellers are undamaged and correctly installed.
- Check for any loose wires or components.
- Power on your radio transmitter and FPV goggles.
- Confirm clear FPV video feed and strong radio signal.
- Check for GPS lock if the module is installed and enabled.
5.2 Armament i desarmament
The drone must be armed before motors will spin. The default arming procedure is typically a stick command (e.g., throttle down and yaw right). Refer to your Betaflight configuration for specific arming switches or stick commands.
- Armat: Perform the configured arming command. The motors will typically spin slowly, indicating the drone is armed.
- Desarmament: Perform the configured disarming command (usually throttle down and yaw left, or a dedicated switch). Motors will stop. Always disarm immediately after landing or in an emergency.
5.3 Vol
The Vapor-D6 O4 Pro is equipped with high-performance SPEEDX2 2407E 1750KV motors and factory-tuned PID controls for stable flight.
- Enlairament: Gently increase throttle after arming. The drone should lift off smoothly.
- Control: Use the left stick for throttle and yaw, and the right stick for pitch and roll (Mode 2). Practice gentle movements initially.
- Temps de vol: Expect approximately 14-19 minutes of flight time with a recommended 6S LiPo 1500mAh – 2000mAh battery, depending on flight style and conditions.
- Aterratge: Reduce throttle slowly to descend. Disarm the drone immediately upon landing.
5.4 Cinematic HD Footage
The integrated O4 Air Unit Pro provides high-quality video for both FPV and recording. Ensure your O4 Air Unit Pro is configured for recording before flight if you intend to capture cinematic footage.

6. Manteniment
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your drone.
- Neteja: After each flight, clean the drone to remove dirt, dust, and debris. Use a soft brush or compressed air. Avoid using liquids directly on electronics.
- Inspecció de l'hèlix: Inspect propellers for cracks, bends, or nicks before and after every flight. Replace damaged propellers immediately.
- Inspecció del marc: Check the carbon fiber arms (5.0 mm thickness) and other frame components for any signs of stress, cracks, or damage. Tighten any loose screws.
- Inspecció de motors: Ensure motors (SPEEDX2 2407E 1750KV) spin freely and quietly. Check for any debris lodged in the motor bells.
- Cablejat: Periodically inspect all wiring for fraying, cuts, or loose connections.
- Cura de la bateria: Follow LiPo battery best practices: do not overcharge or over-discharge, store at storage voltage, and inspect for swelling or damage.
