INSTALL THE REMOTE CONTROL BATTERIES
CHARGING THE BATTERY
Connect the USB charger with USB-Port on a computer, laptop, USB power supply, or power bank. Connect the battery with a USB charger. A red light on means it is charging, red light out means charging completely.
FIRST FLIGHT PERPETRATION
- Make sure that the batteries in the remote control are new and the battery is charged.
- make sure you have enough space. Keep away from traffic, other people, electrical lines, pools, and ponds.
- DO NOT over-tighten the screws on the rotor blade brackets. The rotor blades must be able to swing freely.

OPERATION
- Switch on the remote control and place it near the helicopter.
- Connect the battery to the helicopter.
- The indicator lights on the helicopter and on the remote control will flash. Push the throttle up and down once. The remote control beeps, the LEDs on the helicopter and remote control light up, and the connection is established.
- Pull both levers outwards and downwards to start the helicopter. Alternatively, press the auto-start button to let the helicopter take off directly.
- Keep the nose of the helicopter pointed forward and fly at enough distance to yourself and others.
- To land, pull the throttle down and hold it there for two to three seconds. Release it as soon as the rotor has stopped spinning. Alternatively, you can press the auto-landing button.
NOTE : Beginners should pay attention to the direction of the flight. Keep the head forward to avoid causing injury.
3D ROLL MODE
To enter the 3D roll mode, the helicopter must be brought to a height of more
than 3 meters. At this time, the helicopter indicator light flashes rapidly
several times to perform the 3D roll action.

GYRO CALIBRATION METHOD
- If the helicopter drifts in the air, land it and calibrate the gyro first. When calibrating the gyro, the helicopter must be on a level surface.
- The indicator light flashes quickly during the calibration process and stops when it is finished.
TRIM
- If the helicopter drifts to one side and the gyro is already calibrated, use the trim buttons to hover the helicopter on one spot. Press the fine-tuning button in the opposite direction until the helicopter hovers.
