Connect battery.
Press the sides
of the battery
compartment
together and
rotate the door
down.
To close, squeeze the
door, and rotate up

ensuring that the battery
cables do not interfere
with the LED cables.
Connect the radio to your ground station, and select Connect.
A ground station (recommended) lets you view live data in
flight and unlock IRIS’ advanced autonomous features.
To download a ground station app for you laptop or
Android device, visit 3DR.com/iris/info.
Press and hold the DN button on the controller to
view flight data from IRIS. See the Flight Checklist
for more information about controller flight data.
Place IRIS at the launch
point with the black
arms facing towards you
and the blue arms facing
away from you.
Wait 10 seconds before
closing the battery door or
moving IRIS at all while the
internal sensors calibrate
and the status LED shows
blue and red.
Insert battery, and
attach the yellow
connectors.
If you see a flashing yellow status
LED, it’s likely that the sensors
did not calibrate correctly during
startup. Re-connect the battery and
make sure to keep IRIS absolutely
still and level during the blue-and-
red status LED indicator.
