INTRODUCTION

The Typhoon H is an advanced aerial photography and videography platform. Thanks to

Yuneec’s spirit of innovation and pursuit of advanced technology, the TYPHOON H, the

smallest and smartest member of the TYPHOON family, is the best choice for skilled pilots

and photographers alike. The Typhoon H offers up to 22 minutes of ﬂight time while ﬁlming

with the CGO3+ 4K-resolution camera. The copter is powered by its easy, intuitive remote

control, the ST16 Personal Ground Station, which features a 7-inch Android touchscreen

that displays live footage of your ﬂight.

OVERVIEW

PLACEMENT BEFORE TAKEOFF

WARNING: Always operate the TYPHOON H in open areas (approximately 10000 square

feet/930 square meters or more) that are free from people, vehicles, trees and other

obstructions. Never ﬂy near or above crowds, airports or buildings.

CHARGING THE LIPO FLIGHT BATTERY AND ST16 BATTERY

Power the SC4000-4 charger from a 100-240V AC outlet using the AC adapter/power

supply, or from a 12V-16.8V DC accessory socket/cigarette lighter receptacle in a vehicle

using the included adapter.

Plug the aircraft battery into the charger port as illustrated.

A green blinking LED indicates the charger is powered on and ready to charge, and a red

blinking LED indicates the battery is charging. It will take approximately 2.5 hours to

charge a fully discharged (not over-discharged) battery. A solid green LED indicates the

battery is fully charged.

WARNING:

All instructions and warnings must be followed exactly to prevent property

damage and/or serious injury as the mishandling of Li-ion/LiPo batteries can result in ﬁre.

FOR THE ST16 GROUND STATION

You can charge the ST16 battery by using supplied USB cable and inserting it into the USB

port on the charger. It will take approximately 5 hours to charge a fully discharged (not

over-discharged) battery.

NOTE: ALWAYS turn on the ST16 Ground Station and allow it to boot up BEFORE turning

the TYPHOON H on (and ALWAYS turn the TYPHOON H off BEFORE turning off the ST16

Ground Station).

FLIGHT CONTROLS

SMART MODE

When the Flight Mode selection switch is in the top position the TYPHOON H will be in

Smart Mode. Although we recommend learning to ﬂy the TYPHOON H in Angle (Pilot)

Mode as soon as possible, Smart Mode is typically the best mode for beginning pilots to ﬂy

in and also features 'Follow Me'.

In Smart Mode the TYPHOON H will always move in the direction the right-hand control

stick is pushed relative to the pilot and no matter

which way the front/nose is pointed. So if you push

the stick to the left the TYPHOON H will always move

to the left, regardless of the direction the nose is

pointing and even if it’s spinning. This mode can also

be helpful for pilots that lose orientation while ﬂying

in Angle (Pilot) Mode.

*ADDITIONAL SMART MODE FEATURES

FOLLOW ME FUNCTION

The Follow Me function allows the TYPHOON H to

follow the pilot, adjusting its location to the location

of the ST16 Ground Station. This function is enabled

when ST16’s GPS positioning completes, and the

TYPHOON H is using shared GPS signal with the

ST16 Ground Station. When in Follow Me function, the

background of the 'Follow' icon will be red and the

icon of Follow [ ] will be white highlighted., the

TYPHOON H will follow the movement of ST16

Ground Station if there is no extra operation on the

ST16 Ground Station. The ﬂight status is also controlla-

ble when you operate the ST16 and CGO3+.

IMPORTANT

NOTE: In Follow Me function, the

aircraft will maintain a constant altitude and cannot

detect obstacles. Pilots who change their altitude by

for example, moving to higher ground, during ﬂight

should be mindful of this.

FLYING

Take your time learning how the TYPHOON H responds to various control inputs while

ﬂying. In Smart Mode, the TYPHOON H will always move in the direction the right-hand

control stick is pushed relative to the pilot and no matter which way the front/nose is

pointed.

In Angle (Pilot) Mode, the TYPHOON H will move in the direction the control stick is pushed

relative to the front/nose of the aircraft (and the ‘angle’ of movement is determined by how

far you push the stick away from the center position). And please see the corresponding

sections of this instruction manual for more information on Smart Mode and Angle (Pilot)

To take off, slowly raise the left-hand stick to above the center position. The TYPHOON H

will take off and climb slowly (or raise the stick further until it does). Allow the stick to return

to the center position when the TYPHOON H reaches the desired altitude.

WATCH ME FUNCTION

Watch Me enables the camera to keep tracking the remote controller no matter where and

how it moves as the camera can automatically tilt its angle according to the controller.

Usually, the default function under Smart Mode is Follow Me. Watch Me function can be

switched to by following steps:

In Watch Me function, the pilot will always be kept in the frame wherever he moves.

Watch Me/Follow Me Button: When in Smart Mode, press [ ] to switch the TYPHOON H

between the Watch Me and Follow Me function. The Follow Me function is the default

setting, and the icon of Follow will be white highlighted. If it is NOT AVAILABLE, it means

the ST16’s GPS isn’t ready yet. Please wait.

Press [ ] ,and the background of the 'Watch' icon will turn red and the icon of Watch [ ] will

be white highlighted. and the 'Follow' icon will be black. This means the Watch Me function is now

enabled.

NOTE:

When the TYPHOON H is above 6.6ft (2m) and out of the Smart Circle during ﬂying,

the yaw direction will take the control itself. Camera lens will always point to you as long as

Flight Mode is in Watch Me function. Please put the CGO3+ Gimbal Tilt Control Slider in

the middle position. If you want to trim camera angle up, then just move the Gimbal Tilt

Control Slider a bit up. If you want to trim camera angle down, just move the slider down.

SMART CIRCLE

In most cases the Smart Circle will keep the TYPHOON H from coming within approximate-

ly 26 feet (8 meters) of you (as long as you position yourself at least 26 feet/8 meters

behind the TYPHOON H.

GEO-FENCE

The geo-fence is a virtual barrier that will keep the TYPHOON H from traveling further than

300 feet (91 meters). The geo-fence only works in Smart Mode. Although this limit can be

adjusted using the USB interface/programmer and software we strongly recommend using

the default limit at all times.

WARNING:

Smart Mode only works when the TYPHOON H has a suitable GPS signal/lock.

If you take off in Smart Mode and the TYPHOON H loses GPS signal/lock it will switch to

Angle (Pilot) Mode automatically. This is why we strongly recommend learning to ﬂy in

Angle (Pilot) Mode as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you lose GPS signal/lock and are not

able to properly control the TYPHOON H in Angle (Pilot) Mode the aircraft may crash or

even ‘ﬂy away’.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Crash damage and ‘ﬂy aways’ are NOT covered under warranty.

IMPORTANT NOTE: When the ST16 Ground Station is connected to less than 6 satellites,

the ‘FOLLOW ME’ feature will be disabled.

NOTICE:

Users can control tilt, roll and yaw directions during descent. The TYPHOON H

will hang over the home position at the current height when RC signal is lost.

CAUTION:

You must be certain there are no obstacles in the ‘Return to Home’ ﬂight path

otherwise the TYPHOON H may come into contact with them and crash. While the

TYPHOON H is in Home Mode you will have a limited amount of directional control. To help

avoid obstacles we strongly recommend to switch to Smart or Angle Mode (then you can

switch back to Home Mode).

CAMERA CONTROL

GIMBAL TILT CONTROL

There is a gimbal tilt mode switch on ST16---S1. When the switch is in up/middle position,

the CGO3+ gimbal camera is in Angle Mode. Use the slider (C) on the left side of the ST16

to set the tilt position of the gimbal camera. When the S1 is in bottom position, the gimbal

camera is in Velocity Mode. When the slider (C) is in the middle position, it means the

velocity rate is 0 for the CGO3+, and it will stop pitching up/down. When the slider (C) is

above the middle position, the CGO3+ will start pitching up. When the slider (C) is below

the middle position, the CGO3+ will start pitching down. The distance between the slider

velocity it would be.

CAMERA/GIMBAL PAN CONTROL

There is a gimbal pan mode switch on ST16---S2. When the switch position is up, the

gimbal camera is in Follow Mode. The pan control of the gimbal camera is now disabled.

The gimbal camera will adjust its pan direction according to the aircraft’s movements.

when the switch is in the middle position, the gimbal camera is in Follow an Controllable

Mode, the gimbal camera will adjust its pan direction according to the aircraft’s

movements. Meanwhile, the pan control is activated, use the K1 to set the pan position of

the gimbal camera. When the switch position is down, the gimbal camera is in Global

Mode. The pan direction of the gimbal camera will be ﬁxed regardless of the aircraft’s

movements. Use the K1 to set the pan position of the gimbal camera.

WHEN HOME MODE IS ACTIVATED TYPHOON WILL RESPOND AS FOLLOWS:

A) When ﬂying higher than 33 feet (10 meters) the TYPHOON H will maintain the current

altitude, ﬂy back to the home point, or active home point if the ST16 Ground Station has

enough satellites for Follow Me, then descend vertically until it lands.

NOTICE:

If the signal of remote control is lost, the TYPHOON H will automatically return to

home point and hold its position (with a suitable GPS signal/lock) over the home position

except for low battery.

B) When ﬂying lower than 33 feet (10 meters) the TYPHOON H will climb to 33 feet (10

meters) whileﬂying back to the home point, or active home position, then will descend

vertically until it lands.

HOME MODE

When the Flight Mode selection switch is in

the bottom position the TYPHOON H will

be in Home (also known as Return to Home)

Mode.

In Home Mode the GPS connectivity will ﬂy

back TYPHOON in a straight line in the

direction of the pilots’ current location, and

automatically land within 13-26 ft (4-8m) of

the pilot. This can be very helpful for

beginning pilots who aren’t quite ready to

land the TYPHOON H themselves. It can

also be helpful for pilots that lose

orientation during ﬂight. Simply activate

Home Mode until the TYPHOON H

automatically moves toward the home

position, and once you’ve conﬁrmed

orientation switch back to Angle (Pilot) Mode.

If the TYPHOON H ever loses the link with the

ST16 Ground Station it will automatically

enter Home Mode.

ANGLE MODE

When the Flight Mode selection switch is the middle position the TYPHOON H will be in

Angle (also known as Pilot) Mode.

Angle (Pilot) Mode is the mode preferred by experienced RC/drone pilots because the

TYPHOON H will move in the direction the control stick is pushed relative to the front/nose

of the aircraft. So if you push the right-hand stick to the left the TYPHOON H will bank

toward the left side and move to the left. This means if the front/nose of the TYPHOON H

is pointing away from you it will move to the left, but if the front/nose is pointing at you the

TYPHOON H will move to the right.

*Additional Angle (Pilot) Mode Feature:

The TYPHOON H will automatically hold

its position (with a suitable GPS signal/lock)

and maintain a level attitude when the

right-hand stick is centered.

WARNING:

If you do not properly

control the TYPHOON H in Angle (Pilot)

Mode the aircraft may crash or even ‘ﬂy

away’.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Crash damage and

‘ﬂy aways’ are NOT covered under warranty.

OBSTACLE AVOID Switch

With sustainable GPS locked the sonar can be activated in Angle (Pilot) Mode by being

switched on with the TYPHOON H higher than 9.9ft (3 meters). When the sonar is activated,

the front motor LED will blink white and the icon on the ST16 screen will be solid green. If

the OBSTACLE AVOID is switched on, but the function can't be activated, then the icon will be yellow.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

The environment requirement such as ﬂying height might change

depending on the situation. Only when the icon on the ST16 screen is solid green, it means

the OBSTACLE AVOID function is activated.

NOTICE

: The sonar can only detect the front obstacles, but can't detect the lateral and rear obstacles.

NOTICE: The speed of the aircraft will be limited with sonar activated.

NOTICE: For the most up-to-date information of OBSTACLE AVOID, please visit the corresponding

product page at www.Yuneec.com or contact the nearest Yuneec ofﬁce or authorized distributor.

AFTER LANDING

ALWAYS turn off the TYPHOON H BEFORE turning off the ST16 Ground Station. Then remove

the battery from TYPHOON and allow it to cool to ambient/room temperature before recharging.

NOTICE: If the signal of remote control is lost, the TYPHOON H will automatically return to home

point and hold its position (with a suitable GPS signal/lock) over the home position (except for low

battery).

PROPORTIONAL CONTROL RATE SLIDER

The Proportional Control Rate Slider located on the right side of the ST16 Ground

Station allows you to set the overall climb/descend and directional control rates.

Use the turtle position for the lowest control rates (best for

ﬁrst-time pilots and required when ﬂying between 5000 feet and

8000 feet Above Mean Sea Level), and use the rabbit position for

the highest control rates (best for experienced pilots and can only

be used when ﬂying below 5000 feet MSL). Or use a position in between if

you prefer.

LANDING

There are two ways to land the TYPHOON H:

1) Position the TYPHOON H above the area where you would like to land. Slowly lower the

left-hand stick to below the center position. The TYPHOON H will descend slowly and land.

After the TYPHOON H lands, press and hold the START/STOP button until the motor stops.

2) Activate Home Mode and the TYPHOON H will automatically ﬂy itself back to the home

point and will land within a 6.6 feet (2 meters) diameter circle around it.

NOTICE:

After the copter takes off, the pilot can retract

the landing gear by switching up the Landing Gear

Switch on the top right side of the ST16 Ground

Station. Make sure to ﬂip the switch to the downward

position when landing.

WARNING:

Always land as soon as possible after the

ﬁrst low level voltage battery warning, or land immedi-

ately after the second level low voltage battery warning

(as indicated by the vibrations and audible alerts from

the ST16 Ground Station, and by the Motor LED Status

Ground Station is in the Angle mode or Smart mode. With sustainable GPS signal for both

the Ground Station and the aircraft, tap the TASK/CAMERA icon on the ST16 screen, and

tap the TAKE OFF icon and slide it on the screen, then the aircraft will climb to the height

of 2 meters and automatically hold its position (make sure both sticks are in the center

position).

AGE RECOMMENDATION: NOT FOR CHILDREN UNDER 14 YEARS. THIS IS NOT A TOY.

WARNING:

Home Mode only works when the TYPHOON H has a suitable GPS signal/lock.

If TYPHOON loses GPS signal/lock it will switch to Angle (Pilot) Mode automatically. This is

why we strongly recommend learning to ﬂy in Angle (Pilot) Mode as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if you lose GPS signal/lock and are not able to properly control the TYPHOON

H in Angle (Pilot) Mode the aircraft may crash or even ‘ﬂy away’.

IMPORTANT NOTE

: If the pilot needs to adjust the channel setting manually, or run the

functions of JOUR (Journey), CCC (Curve Cable Cam), POI (Point of Interest) or ORBIT

(Orbit me), tap the SYSTEM SETTING and choose OTHER SETTING on the ST16 Ground

Station, turn on the ADVANCE. You can download the User Manual from the YUNEEC

ofﬁcial site: www.yuneec.com for detailed information.
