CHARGING THE STARRIDERS™

1. Turn off your STARRIDERS™ and plug the included USB charging cord into the charging socket on the bottom of the STARRIDERS™ ( see diagram A ).
2. Connect the other end of the USB cable to either your computers USB port or a UL/CE approved USB wall charger ( see diagram B ). IMPORTANT: If using a high-speed USB wall adapter make sure that the output is less than 7V otherwise the STARRIDERS™’s internal charging circuit will shut down for safety reasons and not allow the STARRIDERS™ to accept the charge.
3. When charging begins, the indicator lights on the STARRIDERS™ 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 40-50 minutes. Once fully charged the STARRIDERS™ operates for approximately 5-7 minutes depending on the intensity of play.
   

LOW BATTERY INDICATOR: During play, when the STARRIDERS™’s batteries begin to run low, the on-board indicator lights will change to a solid RED color and the Starriders Pilot will start flashing. This indicates that you have approximately one-minute left to play, and shortly after, the STARRIDERS™ will automatically begin to descend and land.

CHARGING THE CONTROLLER

UNDERSTANDING THE ONBOARD INDICATOR LIGHTS WHEN FLYING YOUR STARRIDERS™

• When the Starriders Pilot starts flashing, it indicates low power mode and you will not be able to perform 360˚ flips during this time.
• Solid RED lights indicate low power mode and you will not be able to perform 360˚ flips during this time.
• A BLUE light indicates that the STARRIDERS™ is flying horizontally across the room.
• A GREEN light indicates that the STARRIDERS™ is stabilizing and is in a good place for beginner and younger pilots to attempt a 360˚ flip.

THE STARRIDERS™ IS PRIMARILY DESIGNED TO BE USED INDOORS AS THERE WILL BE NO WIND OR UV RAYS THAT MAY AFFECT FLIGHT. TO USE THE STARRIDERS™ OUTDOORS, PLAY AT DUSK, NIGHT TIME, OR IN SHADED AREAS AWAY FROM DIRECT SUNLIGHT. ONLY PLAY OUTSIDE WHEN THERE IS LITTLE O NO WIND.

WARNING
DO NOT FLY YOUR STARRIDERS™ IN FOUL WEATHER!

PREPARING FOR FLIGHT

• Verify that STARRIDERS™ has been fully charged.
• Make sure the empty space has no obstacles that would obstruct flight

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FLY YOUR STARRIDERS™ 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 STARRIDERS™ in no time!

1. Suggested to play indoors first to get the hang of it! When using the STARRIDERS™ 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 STARRIDERS™ is fully charged.
   

4. Turn on the STARRIDERS™ to short press the ON/OFF Button. The LED lights on the STARRIDERS™ will turn on and start flashing, set it on flat level surface the green LED light become solid (see diagram D ).
   

5. Make sure you have properly synced The STARRIDERS™.

   • Press the “PUSH” button for 3 seconds, your STARRIDERS™ will automatically take off.
   • To stop or land the STARRIDERS™ just press the “PUSH” button for 3 seconds again and the STAR RIDERS™ will descend and land automatically ( see diagram D).
     

6. Another method to stop the STARRIDERS™ quickly capture the STARRIDERS™ 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 STARRIDERS™

Your STARRIDERS™ is equipped with motion sensors and air pressure sensors which read your hand motions to determine its direction for flight.

TO MAKE YOUR STARRIDERS™ GO UP:

There are 2 ways to make your STARRIDERS™ ascend:

1. Place one hand palm side up directly underneath the bottom of the STARRIDERS™ and slowly move your hand straight up, STARRIDERS™ 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 STARRIDERS™ about two inches from the body so the STARRIDERS™ is in the center space between your two hands. The drone will quickly ascend! (See Diagram G)
   
   

TO MAKE YOUR STARRIDERS™ FLY HORIZONTALLY ACROSS THE ROOM

Hold your hand up vertically palm side facing the STARRIDERS™ like your going to push it away, but don’t actually touch it. The STARRIDERS™ will begin to move in the opposite direction of your hand ( See Diagram H ).

TO MAKE YOUR STARRIDERS™ MOVE FASTER AND FURTHER.

Once you have gotten the hang of controlling the direction of your STARRIDERS™ simply move your hand along outside of the STARRIDERS™ as it begins to fly away, literally follow the STARRIDERS™ with your hand. The longer and faster you move your hand behind the STARRIDERS™ the further and faster it will fly ( See diagram I ) Remember to follow behind it, not touch it.

LIGHT & MUSIC SWITCHING OF STARRIDER™

STARRIDERS™ also includes 5 different sound effects, plus exciting animated LED lighting effects. It even has an on-board Starriders Pilot that glows!
By simply pressing the ‘Light & Sound Switching’ button on the remote controller, you can easily switch between music and lighting modes for your STARRIDERS™. Each musical beat corresponds to a unique lighting mode, providing a fun and dynamic experience.

HOW TO DO 360˚ STUNT ROLLS! (USING HAND GESTURE)

The STARRIDERS™ allows you to command 360˚ stunt rolls with a special hand movement! Your STARRIDERS™ has the ability to do a 360˚ roll in all 4 directions

• First pass your open palm face down across the top of your STARRIDERS™ 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˚roll. NOTE the STARRIDERS™ will do somersaults in the direction of the side where your hand completed the movement (SEE DIAGRAM K1, K2, K3 ).
  

HOW TO DO 360º STUNT ROLLS (USING CONTROLLER)

1. In order to make your STARRIDERS™ do 360º rolls you must fully charge your battery.
   Note: The STARRIDERS™ will not do 360º stunt rolls under low battery indication.

2. When you’re ready to attempt a 360º stunt rolls, press the “360˚ stunt roll” button on your controller. You can perform flips in all directions and tricks with ease (see the Remote Diagram on page 3).
   Note: Keep the The STARRIDERS™ altitude at least 3 foot when you do 360º stunt rolls
   

TROUBLE SHOOTING

If your STARRIDERS™ 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 STARRIDERS™ in the power-on position. Next, hold the STARRIDERS™ upside down ( See diagram M ).
b) Quickly depress and release the power button 2 times and the lights on the body should begin to rapidly flash blue and green, this is how you know that you are in “Calibration Mode”. ( See diagram N ).
c) While the lights are flashing turn the STARRIDERS™ back over right side up and set it on flat level surface (See diagram O ).
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!
