Antenna (optional)
Note This step is optional if you do not want to use the on-vehicle gust-air radio system.
MX400 is optimized for co-existing of multiple radio systems. Two antenna racks allow mounting of
external antennas with different shape and size.
To install, attach the antenna onto the surface of the rack, and tightening it using nylon fastener tape, as
shown in figure 5, 6, and 7.

GPS/Compass and battery
GPS/compass module needs to be mounted properly to avoid interference from other parts on frame.
Fig.8 and 9 shows how the external GPS/compass combo should be mounted. It is important that the
direction of external GPS/compass combo MUST align with the head of direction of the frame.

Power On/Off
MX400/450’s power switch is a LED button to the right side of battery receptacle. By default the button is
at OFF status. Short click on the button will turn the power ON, and all parts on MX400/450 will be
powered on. Long press on the button for at least 3 seconds will turn the power OFF again. This will shut
down power of all parts on the drone.
Fig. 12 The power switch
When power is switched on, the motors may beep several times during the process, then wait for the
main LED on flight controller to turn into breathing blue, and the drone is now ready for command.
If the drone is not intended to fly for a long period, please also disconnect the battery after power is shut
down.
