hereby agree to this disclaimer and signify that you have read it fully.
THIS PRODUCT IS STRICTLY FOR PERSON AT AGE OF 18 AND ABOVE
SHARK X8 is an autopilot system specially designed for multi-rotor aircraft, the system
provides excellent self-leveling, attitude holding, and accurate position holding, make it the
best choice for the aerial videography, FPV, and entertainment. Under normal circumstances,
the power system (battery, motors) can provide excellent flying experience, and achieve
great performance.
Despite our effort to optimize the system with all safety measures, but we strongly advise
user to remove all propellers while calibrating and configuring the system with power
connection attached. Keep the aircraft away from people, animal, flammable and fragile
substance during any configuration, firmware upgrading, parameter set up.
Our company is not liable for any damage(s) or injuries incurred directly or indirectly from
the use of the product in the following conditions:
1. Damage(s) or injuries incurred when user(s) are taking alcohol, drug, drug anesthesia,
dizziness, fatigue, nausea and any other condition no matter physically or mentally
that could impair the user(s) ability.
2. Damage(s) or injuries caused by subjective intentional operations.
3. Failure to follow the guidance of the user manual/instruction during installation and
operation.
4. Malfunction/failure caused due to alteration/refit, replacement with part(s) that not
provide by our company.
5. Damage(s) or injuries caused by operational errors or subjective misjudgment.
6. Damage(s) or injuries caused by wear and tear, corrosion, or aging and any other
mechanical damage(s).
7. Damage(s) or injuries cause by continue flying aircraft when the low voltage alarm is
triggered.
8. Damage(s) or injuries caused by intentionally flying the aircraft in known abnormal
condition(s) (such as water, oil, solid particles etc. that will cause the aircraft flying
dangerously or incomplete assembly, such as missing parts, damaged/defect parts).
9. Damage(s) or injuries caused by flying the aircraft at magnetic/radio interference
area, any government regulated non-flying zone, the user/pilot facing strong sunlight
that affect the visibility, blocked sight, poor eyesight and any other condition that
not suitable for flying.
10. Damage(s) or injuries caused by flying under inclement weather, such as rain,
lightning, windy, snowing and hail or any adverse weather condition.

Function Overview
Flight Control System Overview
1. All-In-One design integrated 3-axis gyroscopes, 3-axis accelerometer and barometer
2. Support up to maximum 8 rotors outputs
3. 3 flight control modes, 5 intelligent function (attitude, altitude, GPS, Return-To-Home,
AOC)
4. GPS provide high accuracy position hold and wind resistance and auto flight function
5. Precise altitude control function provides good wind resistance
6. Failsafe RTH, Position Hold, effectively enhances flight safety and reduces the probability
of crashing
7. Low voltage protection, Low voltage auto-landing significantly extend the battery life
8. Automatic Orientation Control (AOC), forward direction does not move along with nose
direction
9. Perform remote calibration and start flying without connecting to the computer
10. Connecting assistant software via USB, plug and play that no driver is required.
11. Flight data recording and playback, longer flight data can be stored with larger-capacity
micro SD card
12. Online firmware update
13. One key system recovery
14. Flight limits function, it restrict the aircraft’s flying height and distance.

QUICK INSTALLATION
1. Refer SYSTEM ASSEMBLY AND CONNECTION chapter to connect all equipment
and parts (FC, ESC, MOTOR, GPS).
2. Refer AIRCRAFT TYPE (MOTOR MIXER) chapter for the motor, propellers
installation and orientation.
3. Refer TRANSMITTER chapter for the proper connection of transmitter and
receiver.
4. TRANSMITTER CALIBRATION to check all channel are moving toward the correct
direction.
QUICK START GUIDE
Once the transmitter is being calibrated please follows the steps below to begin
flying the aircraft
1. Switch on the transmitter first, then connect the battery and power on the
multi-rotor aircraft with the propellers removed.
2. Place the aircraft stationary on a flat ground, and wait for the self-check to be
completed.
3. Observe the LED conditions to identify the autopilot system working status.
4. Switch control mode on your transmitter to Normal Mode, Arm the motor by
using Combination Stick Commands (CSC)
5. Push throttle to 30%, monitor whether the motor rotation is being controlled.
5. Adjust the Yaw, Roll and Pitch, and observe whether the motor acting
correspondingly
6. Use hand to wobble the aircraft, observe the changes on the output of each
motor.
7. Proceed to low flying testing is the aircraft corresponding to the transmitter stick
command.
If the yellow LED light flash after the self-check, will indicate the
transmitter enter calibration mode, meanwhile check the if the throttle
stick is at 0, or reverse the throttle, re-power back the aircraft.
