__TOC__

MICROBEAST PLUS offers different type of menu structures for different needs of adjustment. Before the first flight MICROBEAST PLUS has to be adjusted to your helicopter mechanics and its components. This basic setup is done in the '''SETUP MENU'''.
 
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.'''
 
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.

=Adjustment on the device=
Now when the system is ready to operate press the button and hold it for at least 3 seconds. First the Menu-LED next to Menu Point A will begin to flash and then after a while will be solid. Now and only now you can release the button.

==Button control==
Proceed step by step through the different menu points reaching from A to N and perform the basic adjustment as described in the following. By briefly pushing the button at each step you will save the current setting and proceed to the next step. 
 
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]])

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.
 
{{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!}} 
Just for your info at this step: There is another menu called PARAMETER MENU. This is entered by just briefly pressing the button from operation mode. Here the Menu LEDs are flashing quickly. 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!

==Stick control==
In SETUP MENU we use the sticks of your transmitter to change settings and interact with the menu.
* Most often the '''rudder stick''' is used to change a value or toggle between different options, i. e. choose the mounting direction, servo refresh or cycle between servos when adjusting center position or servo direction. Changing opion is usually indicated by different Status LED colors.
* The '''aileron stick (roll)''' is used to adjust values or positions by pushing and holding the stick, i.e. to adjust servo trim or swashplate pitch. 
You don't have to remember this yet, we will mention which sticks needs to be moved in the following instructions!

=Basic setup with StudioXm=
When StudioXm is started and your MICROBEAST PLUS is connected to StudioXm choose '''Basic heli setup''' from the device overview page to enter the setup wizard, which will lead through the basic setup procedure of the SETUP MENU (note that the menu is only accessible after all settings have been loaded from the device and when the device is in operation mode! See [[StudioXm/en|general informations about StudioXm]] if you need further instructions). The options you see here are basically similar to the SETUP MENU points A to M you can change directly at the device, but there might be little differences because of the different nature of the interactive setup. The adjustment is basically done using the buttons or dials in the app, sometimes interaction with your transmitter is necessary. Click '''Next''' at the bottom of each setup step to skip to the following Menu Point. From the dropdown list at the top also you can directly access specific setup items if necessary, but for the first time setup it is recommended to proceed step-by-step beginning at ''Device Orientation'' and ending with ''Cyclic directions''. Adjustment procedure in short words is described at each step. If necessary refer to this manual if you need further assistance. When the setup is finished click the '''Home button''' in the top left corner to get back to the overview screen or disconnect the device and deactivate the BLE2SYS module by clicking the '''Disconnect button''' in the top right corner when adjustment is finished completely.
 
'''Note:''' When you cannot access the menu options because the system does not finish initialization sequence, make sure the radio system is powered up and bound correctly and proceed with [[Manuals:MBPlusFblV52:ReceiverType/en|RECEIVER MENU adjustment]] first, if necessary! 
 
{{WARNING_QUOTE|'''Always disconnect your BLE2SYS from the app when you attempt to fly in order to deactivate the module or disconnect it physically from your MICROBEAST PLUS.''' When the module is active this can cause interference with your radio system as the BLE2SYS is also sending on the 2.4GHz band! 
 
'''Also make sure MICROBEAST PLUS is in operation mode!''' When it is still in one of the adjustment menus the gyro control and the stick controls may be disabled and you will not be able to fully control your helicopter!}}
