2. Hold the drone horizontally and rotate it until the rear indicator lights change from flashing slowly to flashing quickly
3. Hold the drone vertically and rotate it until the rear indicator lights change from flashing quickly to solid on.

GPS Searching

Place the drone on a flat and dry surface where is unobstructed and lit area. When the indicator lights change from red to green, it means that the search for GPS signal is completed. This process may take about one minute.
If the search for GPS signal fails, please repeat all the Compass Calibration operations until the process is successful

ATTENTION:

1. The default mode is the GPS Mode. It is highly recommended to operate outdoor flights in GPS mode for maximum safety.
2. If the GPS signal is weak or flying indoors, please short press the Return to Home button to exit the GPS mode. At this time, the drone is in Optical Flow Mode, and the maximum flying altitude does not exceed 6m.
3. The drone will automatically changes to GPS mode when the GPS signal is good. The operator can land and then take off again for a higher altitude.

Calibrating the Gyro

Simultaneously push the left joystick and the right joystick to the bottom left corner to calibrate the gyro.
When the indicator lights on the drone blink quickly and turn solid on, indicating calibration is completed.
Tip: To ensure a stable flight we suggest that the pilot calibrates the gyro every time after pairing the drone and after a crash,

Unlocking the Motor

Method 1: Simultaneously push the left joystick to the bottom right corner and the right joystick to the bottom left corner. The motors rotate and the drone is unlocked. (Pic.3)
Method 2: Push the left joystick up, the motors rotate and the drone is unlocked. (Pic.4)

One Key Takeoff/Landing
Please unlock the motor before take-off.

1. After unlocking the drone, short press the One Key Takeoff button, the drone will automatically take off and hover at 5 feet altitude.
2. When the drone is flying, short press the One Key Landing button, the drone will automatically land on the ground.

Drone Status Indicator States

FUNCTION DETAILS

Camera Angle Adjustment

Speed Switch

This drone comes with 2 speed modes (Low/High). Press the right joystick down to switch the speed. “Di” indicates Low speed and “Di Di” indicates High speed.
(The Low speed is default speed mode.)

Trimmer Function

F/B Sideways Drift Trim: If the drone tends to drift forward, press the Throttle joystick and push the Direction joystick down at the same time to re- balance the drone. If the drone tends to drift backward, press the Throttle joystick and push the Direction joystick up at the same time to re-balance the drone.

ljR Sideways Dip Trim: If the drone tends to drift left, press the Throttle joystick and push the Direction joystick right at the same time to re-balance the drone. If the drone tends to drift to right, press the Throttle joystick and push the Direction joystick left at the same time to re-balance the drone.

Take PhotojVideo

Take Photo: Short press the Photo button on the transmitter to take pictures. One beep can be heard from the transmitter, indicating the camera has successfully taken one photo.

Record Video: Short press the Video button on the transmitter, two beeps from the transmitter will be heard. This tells you that the camera has started recording video. You can exit the recording by pressing the same button again.

• Do not take photos during the recording, which will interrupt the recording.
• Without the TF card installed, the photos and videos will be saved in the app albums.
• After installing the TF card, the photos and videos will be saved in both the app album and the TF card.

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 drone is pointed.

1. Short press the Headless Mode Button to enter the Headless Mode. In Headless Mode, the indicator lights of the drone will fiash continuously, and the transmitter will send out beeps continuously
2. Short press the Headless Mode Button again, and you will hear a beep, the indicator lights on the drone will turn solid which indicates the drone exits the Headless Mode.

Return to Home (RTHJ
The Return to Home (RTH) function brings the drone back to the last recorded take-off point This function can only be achieved in GPS mode. There are three types of RTH:
Smart RTH/Low Voltage RTH/Failsafe RTH.

Smart RTH

Short press the Return to Home button to enter the return procedure. And you can exit the return procedure by long pressing the Return to Home button again.

1. When the flight altitude is lower than 65 feet, the drone will elevate automatically to 65 feet high, and then return home.
2. When the flight altitude is higher than 65 feet, the drone will stay in the current altitude and fly back to the take-off point.

Low Voltage RTH
When the drone’s indicator lights flash continuously, it means that the battery is in low voltage. The drone will enter the Low Voltage RTH mode and fly back to the take-off point

• When the flight distance is lower than 65 feet, you can exit Low Voltage RTH.
• When the flight distance is higher than 65 feet, you cannot exit Low Voltage RTH.

Failsafe RTH
If the GPS signal is available and the take-off point is recorded previously Failsafe RTH will be triggered if the transmitter signal is lost for more than 20 seconds. The drone will automatically start the return procedure and it will fiy back to the last recorded take-off point. You can exit Failsafe RTH mode by pressing the Return to Home button if the transmitter signal is recovered.

Emergency Stop
The Emergency Stop function can be only used in case of emergency during the flight to avoid any damage or injury.

Press and hold the Record Video button and the Lens down button simultaneously for 2 seconds, you will hear 5 beeps from the transmitter, and the drone will fall down 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.

Optical Flow Positioning
The Optical Flow Positioning System consists of optical fiow lens modules, which acquires the position information of the drone through visual images to ensure precise positioning of the drone.

The Optical Flow Positioning System is typically used in indoor environ­ment when GPS is weak or unavailable. It works best when the drone altitude is less than 20 feet/ 6 meters.
The precision of the Optical Flow Positioning System is easily affected by the light strength and features of the surface textures. Once the image sensor is not available, your drone will switch to Gesture Mode automatically. Be cautious to operate the drone in the following situation

1. Fly fast at an altitude below 0.Sm.
2. Fly over monochrome surfaces (like pure black, pure red, pure red and pure green).
3. Fly over strong light reflective surfaces or surfaces prone to reflection.
4. Fly over water or transparent object surfaces.
5. Fly over moving object surfaces (such as crowds, swaying juggles and glass).
6. Fly over an area where light changes dramatically and rapidly
7. Fly over surfaces extremely dark (lux< I OJ or extremely bright (lux> 10,000)
8. Fly over surfaces without clear textures.
9. Fly over surfaces with highly repeating textures (small grid brick in the same color).
10. Fly over surfaces that are tilting over 30 degrees I could not receive the echo of the ultrasonic wave).
11. Flying speed should be controlled not to be too fast When drone is I meter from the ground, the flying speed should not be over 5m/s. When the drone is 2 meter against the ground, the fiying speed should not be over IOm/s

• Keep sensors clean at all times.
• The vision system is only effective when the drone is within the altitude range of 20 feet
• Make sure that the light is bright enough and the surfaces is with clear textures so that the vision system can acquire the movement information through recognizing the ground textures.
• The vision system may not function properly when the drone is flying over water, low light ground and surfaces without clear patterns or textures.
