PREPARATION BEFORE FLIGHT
CHARGING THE DRONE BATTERY
- Connect the drone’s battery with the USB Charging Cable.
- Plug the USB Charging Cable into a USB charging port on the power bank or USB adapter (5V/1A).
- Charging time: about 90 minutes.
- a. When the battery is charging, the indicator light on the USB charging cable is RED.
b. When the battery is fully charged, the indicator light on the USB charging cable is GREEN.
-
Low Battery Signal: The lights on the drone will flash continuously and the transmitter will beep during the flight.
- Before charging, please read the instructions in the “Use of Battery” section of the “Safety Guidelines” carefully!
- Please use the original charging cable to charge the battery.
- DO NOT charge the drone battery immediately after a flight as the temperature of the battery may be too high. Please wait until it cools down to room temperature before charging again.
PREPARATION BEFORE FLIGHT
CHANGING TRANSMITTER BATTERIES
2*AAA Batteries
(NOT included)
- Please read the instructions in the “Use of Battery” section of the “Safety Guidelines” carefully!
- When installing the batteries, please pay attention to the positive and negative polarity.
DRONE BATTERY
Installation: Push the battery correctly into the drone battery
compartment.
Please make sure that the battery is firmly installed. Otherwise, the flight
safety of your drone may be affected. The drone may crash due to a power-cut
during the flight.
PROPELLERS
Installation: See the illustration above. Put a propeller onto its
corresponding motor shaft and press down. (The propellers are marked with
either letter “A” or “B.”)
- The propeller is installed before the drone is packaged at the factory.
- The drone will not fly unless the correct propeller is installed on the correct motor shaft.
Removal: First turn the bottom of the drone up and unscrew the bottom
screws. Insert the propeller spanner between the propeller and the motor and
pull straight up. Be sure to hold the motor while detaching the propeller.
FLIGHT
All of the following operations in this manual use MODE 2.
PAIRING
-
Long press the ( ) button to turn on the drone. The lights on the drone start flashing.
-
Place the drone on a flat and level surface, with its head facing forward and its tail pointing towards the pilot.
HEAD -
Short press the ( ) button to turn on the transmitter.
-
Once the transmitter sends out 2 beeps and the lights change from blinking to solid, the drone and transmitter are successfully paired successfully.
CALIBRATE THE GYRO
- Please ensure that the drone is placed on a flat horizontal surface.
- To ensure a stable flight, we suggest that the pilot calibrates the gyro every time after pairing the drone or after a crash.
UNLOCK THE MOTORS
Simultaneously push the left joystick to the bottom left corner and the right
joystick to the bottom right corner. The motors will rotate, and the drone is
unlocked. Pull the left joystick down to the bottom for 2 seconds, and the
motors will stop spinning. The drone is thus locked.
TAKEOFF
There are two methods for takeoff.
Method 1:
Short press the ( ) button, the drone will automatically take off and hover
at 5 ft. At this time, you can control this drone by using the joysticks.
Method 2:
Pick up the drone and lay it flat on your palm. Gently toss the drone into the
air, and it will hover in place.
You must keep your drone in visual line of sight all the time. If you can’t
see it, you can’t control it.
**LANDING
Landing**
When the drone is flying, short press the ( ) button, and the drone will
automatically land on the ground.
FLIGHT FUNCTIONS
SPEED SWITCH
This drone comes with 3 speed modes (Low/Medium/High). Short press the (
**) button to switch between low, medium, and high speed.
The transmitter beeps once to indicate Low Speed, twice to indicate Medium
Speed and three times to indicate High Speed. (The Low Speed is the default
speed mode.)
CIRCLE FLY
Long press the ( **) button, the transmitter will make a long beep, which
indicates that the drone has entered the Circle Fly function. Push the right
joystick in any direction to exit Circle Fly.
LIGHT SWITCH
Short press the ( **) button to change between different light states.
Every time the light state changes, the transmitter will send a beep sound.
The first state: Lights flash irregularly.
The second state: Left and right lights flash alternately.
The third state: Front and rear lights flash alternately.
The fourth state: Breathing lights.
Turning off the lights: Long press the ( **) button, the transmitter
will make a long beep, then all the lights of the drone go out.
HEADLESS MODE
The Headless Mode is a great training tool for beginner pilots. It is also
useful when the drone is too far from the pilot (which makes it difficult to
tell its orientation). It keeps the drone traveling forward, backward, left,
or right when you move the right joystick in those directions, regardless of
which way the front of the head of the drone points to.
The pilot should stay facing the same direction that the drone’s head
points to when it takes off.
Entering: Short press the ( ) button on the transmitter. The drone
lights will keeps flashing, indicating that the drone is in Headless Mode.
Exiting: Short press the same button on the transmitter again. Then 2
beeps are emitted to indicate that the drone has exited the Headless Mode.
* Why is the orientation of the drone important?
In normal flying mode, the control of the drone movement can sometimes be
counter-intuitive for beginners. For instance, when the drone is in the air
with its head pointing to your right, if you push the right joystick forward,
the drone will fly to your right, instead of flying forward.
With the headless mode, the drone has a fixed “head.” In Headless Mode, the
drone always remembers the side its head points to during takeoff as the front
side. This means that if the drone takes off with its head pointing forward,
it doesn’t matter how the drone is oriented in the air, when you push the
right joystick forward, the drone will fly forward. Or, when its head is
pointing to you, if you push the right joystick to the left, the drone will
fly to your left.
**AlTITUDE-HOLD FUNCTION
** The drone is designed with an altitude-hold function so the drone can maintain its altitude after you release the left joystick (the left joystick will automatically spring back to the middle).
360° FLIP
When you get familiar with all the functions of the drone, you can try this
amazing flip mode. When the drone is at least 10ft from the ground, short
press the ( ) button, then push the right joystick for-/back-/left-/rightward.
The drone will do a flip toward the corresponding direction.
360°Flip functions better when the battery is fully charged.
HIGH SPEED ROTATION
Long press the ( ) button, the transmitter will beep once, the drone begins
to rotate quickly. Push the right joystick in any direction to stop the
rotation.
EMERGENCY STOP
The Emergency Stop function should only be used in case of emergency during
the flight to avoid any damage or injury.
-
Long press the ( ) button, the motors will stop immediately. Be aware that you risk breakage of the drone if it falls a large distance or hits anything at a high rate of speed.
-
After the drone hits the ground, The drone indicator will keep on flashing. Please put the drone on a level surface again, and push the left joystick downward. The drone indicator then turn from flashing to solid, which indicates that you can use the drone now.
If the lights on the drone start flashing after the drone hits something, performing step ② can return them to a solid state, allowing you to continue flying.
ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT
TRIMMER
The Forward Trim
If the drone tends to drift forward:
- ress the “Backward Trimmer” button one time.
- Wait 2 seconds to watch the drone’s movement. If it still drifts, press the button again.
- Depending on how the drone drifts, it may take several presses to balance the drone.
- Repeat STEP ① & ② until the drone drifts forward no more.
* You can also fix the Backward/Sideward Trim using a similar method, i.e.,
pressing the trim button whose direction is opposite to the direction the
drift.
Trim adjustments are designed to counter drifts not caused by airflow.
