3. When charging begins, the indicator lights on the HOVER STAR 2.0 will light red to indicate that the battery is charging.
   When the battery is fully charged the indicator lights will turn a solid green color.

4. The charging time may vary depending on the remaining percentage of charge the battery had left in it from previous use. The average charging time is approximately 35-45 minutes. Once fully charged the HOVER STAR 2.0 operates for approximately 5-7 minutes depending on the intensity of play.

LOW BATTERY INDICATOR: During play, when the HOVER STAR 2.0’s batteries begin to get low, the onboard indicator lights will change to a solid RED color indicating that you have approximately one-minute left to play and shortly the HOVER STAR 2.0 will automatically begin to descend and land.

UNDERSTANDING THE ONBOARD INDICATOR LIGHTS WHEN FLYING YOUR HOVER STAR 2.0

• A BLUE light indicates that the HOVER STAR 2.0 is flying horizontally across the room.
• A GREEN light indicates that the HOVER STAR 2.0 is stabilizing and is in a good place for beginner and younger pilots to attempt a 360˚ flip.
• Solid RED lights indicate low power mode and you will not be able to perform 360˚ flips during this time.

HOVER STAR 2.0 DIAGRAM

THE HOVER STAR 2.0 WILL WORK BOTH INDOORS OR OUTDOORS. WHEN USING THE HOVER STAR 2.0 OUTDOORS TRY TO AVOID EXTREMELY BRIGHT OR DIRECT SUNLIGHT AS THIS MAY AFFECT THE INFRARED SENSORS.

WARNING
DO NOT FLY YOUR HOVER STAR 2.0 IN FOUL WEATHER!

PREPARING FOR FLIGHT

• Verify that HOVER STAR 2.0 has been fully charged.
• Make sure the empty space has no obstacles that would obstruct flight.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FLY YOUR HOVER STAR 2.0 IF THERE IS RAIN, SNOW, HEAVY WINDS, THUNDER OR LIGHTNING OUTDOORS. IT COULD DAMAGE YOUR PRODUCT.

LET’S GET STARTED!

Follow these simple steps in the order below and you will be successfully flying your HOVER STAR 2.0 in no time!

1. Suggested to play indoors first to get the hang of it!
   When using the HOVER STAR 2.0 indoors, first find a room in your house with high ceilings and a large open space where you have room to walk around. You may need to move some furniture.

2. Make sure all external sources of wind like ceiling fans, floor fans or opened windows are turned off and closed. Central Air conditioning should be okay but it is a good idea to stay away from strong drafty areas.

3. Make sure your HOVER STAR 2.0 is fully charged.

4. Short press the Power Button until the LED lights on the HOVER STAR 2.0 turn on and become solid green (see diagram D)

5. Hold the HOVER STAR 2.0 in the mid-air and then give it a small gentle toss upward or simply release it as if you were dropping it from your hand. The HOVER STAR 2.0 will automatically turn on and begin hovering. TIP: Make sure to hold the HOVER STAR 2.0 level to ground when starting or it may fly sideways.

6. To stop the HOVER STAR 2.0 quickly capture the HOVER STAR 2.0 with your hand and turn it upside down (see diagram E) the blades will stop spinning.

7. When done playing make sure to turn the power off by depressing the power button for 3 seconds (see power button diagram on pg. 3 ) All the lights will turn off.

HOW TO CONTROL YOUR HOVER STAR 2.0

Your HOVER STAR 2.0 is equipped with motion sensors and air pressure sensors which read your hand motions to determine its direction for flight.
TO MAKE YOUR HOVER STAR 2.0 GO UP:
There are 2 ways to make your HOVER STAR 2.0 ascend:

1. Place one hand palm side up directly underneath the bottom of the HOVER STAR 2.0 and slowly move your hand straight up, HOVER STAR 2.0 will rise upward (See Diagram F)
2. The second way which will create a faster response, is to hold both your hands out simultaneously on both sides of the HOVER STAR 2.0 about two inches from the body so the HOVER STAR 2.0 is in the center space between your two hands. The drone will quickly ascend! (See Diagram G)

TO MAKE YOUR HOVER STAR 2.0 FLY HORIZONTALLY ACROSS THE ROOM:
Hold your hand up vertically palm side facing the HOVER STAR 2.0 like your going to push it away, but don’t actually touch it. The HOVER STAR 2.0 will begin to move in the opposite direction of your hand (See Diagram H).

TO MAKE YOUR HOVER STAR 2.0 MOVE FASTER AND FURTHER.
Once you have gotten the hang of controlling the direction of your HOVER STAR 2.0 simply move your hand along outside of the HOVER STAR 2.0 as it begins to fly away, literally follow the HOVER STAR 2.0 with your hand. The longer and faster you move your hand behind the HOVER STAR 2.0 the further and faster it will fly (See diagram I) Remember to follow behind it, not touch it.

HOW TO DO 360˚ STUNT FLIPS!

The NEW HOVER STAR 2.0 allows you to command 360˚ stunt flips with a special hand movement! Your HOVER STAR 2.0 has the ability to do a 360˚ flip in all 4 directions..

• First pass your open palm face down across the top of your HOVER STAR 2.0 from one side to the other like doing a horizontal karate chop in the air, you are crossing an invisible sensor
• Complete the move by rounding the corner and moving your hand down the side. The fluid combination of going across the top and down the side will activate the 360˚ Flip.

NOTE the HOVER STAR 2.0 will do somersaults in the direction of the side where your hand completed the movement (SEE DIAGRAM J1, J2, J3).

• GREEN MEANS GO! FOR BEGINNER and young players we suggest waiting for a GREEN light to show up on the HOVER STAR 2.0 before attempting the 360˚ stunt flip. The GREEN light indicates the HOVER STAR 2.0 is stable and level to the ground and will result in 360 flip that doesn’t launch very far and is great for beginner pilots. Once you get the hang of flipping you can begin more advanced stunt flips when the HOVER STAR 2.0 is in motion.
• FOR ADVANCED PLAYERS: Your HOVER STAR 2.0 is capable of 360˚ flips even when moving sideways at top speeds, we suggest that older children or more advanced players activate flips while the HOVER STAR 2.0 is in sideways motion. The sideways motion is indicated by a BLUE led light. Activating multiple flips when the HOVER STAR 2.0 is in motion can be exciting and fun but make sure you have a very large space to play in.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

If your HOVER STAR 2.0 drifts uncontrollably or does not respond correctly to the hand movements as explained above you may need to recalibrate the internal gyro sensor.
HOW TO RECALIBRATE THE GYRO:
a) First start with the HOVER STAR 2.0 in the power-on position. Next, hold the HOVER STAR 2.0 upside down (See diagram K).
b) Quickly depress and release the power button 2 times and the lights on the body should begin to rapidly flash red and green, this is how you know that you are in “Calibration Mode”. (See diagram L).
c) While the lights are flashing turn the HOVER STAR 2.0 back over right side up and set it on flat level surface (See diagram M).
d) When the lights stop flashing and you have solid green light on the body, you have successfully completed the calibration process and you are ready to fly!
