If not already done power up your radio and MICROBEAST PLUS and wait until initialization sequence is finished: | |||
* At first the system will calibrate to the radio system, Menu LEDs H to N will cycle up and down. '''During this time do not move the sticks on your radio as the system is learning the stick mid positions.''' | |||
* In the second step MICROBEAST PLUS checks if the sensors are working correctly and learns the sensor rest positions. Here Menu LEDs A to G will cycle up and down. '''During this time do not move the helicopter.''' | |||
<br /> | |||
When initialization is completed the Status LED will change to blue or purple color indicating the current gyro mode. If you can't get through the initialization sequence either because LEDs A-G or LEDs H-N don't stop cycling please read [[Help:FAQ:Powerup/en|the FAQ]]. Note that during initialization pressing the button has no significant effect and you will not be able to enter any menu.<br /> | |||

To leave the SETUP MENU you have to go through all menu points! After pushing the button at the last menu point you will exit the SETUP MENU and the system is ready for operation again. Depending on installed firmware features and receiver type the last point can either be [[Manuals:MBPlusFblV52:Setupmenu_M|SETUP MENU point M]] or [[Manuals:MBPlusFblV52:Setupmenu_N|N]] or [[Manuals:MBPlusFblV52:Governormenu_F|GOVERNOR MENU point F]] or [[Manuals:MBPlusFblV52:Governormenu_F|H]]) <br /> | |||

If you need to change some specific setting later onwards you can enter the SETUP MENU again as described above and skip menu points by only pressing the button without changing anything at these points. So you can navigate to the desired menu point by simply pressing the button several times until you reach this point. Then after you have finished the adjustment, again press the button repeatedly to proceed to the end of the menu and to get back into operation mode.</p> | If you need to change some specific setting later onwards you can enter the SETUP MENU again as described above and skip menu points by only pressing the button without changing anything at these points.

{{WARNING_QUOTE|'''Never fly while MICROBEAST PLUS is in SETUP MENU or any other menu!''' In this condition the gyro control and the stick controls are disabled. In operation mode no MENU LED is glowing!}}<br /> | |||

If you see this condition you've entered the wrong menu. Skip through the menu by repeatedly pressing the button until back in operation mode and then retry to enter SETUP MENU, this time holding the button longer so that Menu LED A lights solid!<br /> | |||
