2. Make sure the drone battery and the propellers are mounted securely.
3. Make sure the drone arms are unfolded.
4. Make sure the camera is functioning normally.
5. Make sure that there is nothing obstructing the motors and that they are functioning normally.

10.1 Pairing

10.2 Initialization Detection

10.3 Calibrating the Compass

Attention:

• To ensure a stable flight, we recommend that pilots perform a compass calibration before each flight.
• DO NOT calibrate the compass in locations where magnetic interference may occur, such as close to magnetite deposits or large metallic structures such as parking structures, steel reinforced basements, bridges, cars, or scaffolding.
• DO NOT carry objects (such as mobile phones) that contain ferromagnetic materials near the drone during calibration.

10.4 Unlocking/Locking the Motors

10.4.1 Unlocking the Motors

10.4.2 Locking the Motors

10.5 One Key Takeoff/Landing

Tip: Before flying, make sure the GPS Mode is turned on in case the drone gets lost!

11.0 FUNCTION DETAILS

11.1 Camera Angle Adjustment

The gimbal provides a steady platform for the attached camera, allowing you to capture clear, stable images and video. The gimbal can tilt the camera within a 90° range. You can dial the wheel left/right to tilt the camera up/down.

11.2 Return to Home (RTH)
·The Return to Home function brings the drone back to the last recorded Home Point.
·The Home Point is the location at which the drone takes off or the GPS receives a signal from 7 or more satellites for the first time during the flight.
The current position of the drone will be recorded as the Home Point.

• During the Failsafe Return procedure, the drone can not avoid obstacles.
• The drone cannot Return to Home if the GPS signal is weak (satellites number is less than 7).
• If there is no GPS signal or the transmitter signal has been lost for more than 6 seconds, the drone will not Return to Home but it can descend slowly until landing on the ground and locking the drone.

11.2.3 Low Voltage RTH

11.3 Optical Flow Positioning

The Optical Flow Positioning System is typically used in an indoor environment when GPS is weak or unavailable. It works best when the drone altitude is less than 10 ft.

11.3 Optical Flow Positioning
The Optical Flow Positioning System consists of a camera ① module, which acquires the position information of the drone through visual images to ensure precise positioning of the drone.

The precision of the Optical Flow Positioning System is easily affected by the light intensity and features of the surface textures. Once the image sensor is not available, your drone will switch to altitude-hold function automatically. Please be cautious to operate the drone in the following situation:

1. Fly fast at an altitude below 2 ft.
2. Fly over monochrome surfaces (e.g, pure black, pure red and pure green).
3. Fly over highly light reflective surfaces.
4. Fly over water or transparent surfaces.
5. Fly over moving surfaces or objects.
6. Fly in an area where the lighting changes dramatically and frequently.
7. Fly over extremely dark (<10 lux) or bright (> 10,000 lux) surfaces.
8. Fly over surfaces without clear patterns or textures.
9. Fly over surfaces with highly repeating textures (small grid brick in the same color).
   ·Flying speed should be controlled not to be too fast. When the drone is 3 ft from the ground, the flying speed should not be over 16 ft/s. When the drone is 7 ft from the ground, the flying speed should not be over 33 ft/s.
   ·Keep sensors clean at all times.
   ·The Optical Flow Positioning is only effective when the drone is within the altitude range of 10 ft.
   ·Make sure that the light is bright enough and the surface is with clear textures so that the Optical Flow Positioning can acquire the movement information through recognizing the ground textures.
   ·The Optical Flow Positioning may not function properly when the drone is flying over water, low light ground and surfaces without clear patterns or textures.

12.0 APP OPERATION INSTRUCTION

12.1 Operation Interface

12.2 Beginner Mode

Attention: If you want to get a higher flying altitude, you can turn on the Lift height limit button to lift the flying altitude restriction to reach a maximum flight altitude of 1312 ft. Please ensure that you have obtained the airspace authorization.

12.3 Follow Me

Common Issues:

1. The Follow Me function can only be used if the flight range is within 16~98 ft.
2. Follow Me mode may be difficult to activate if the phone’s GPS signal is too weak. This could be due to the signal loss from surrounding buildings, trees, or congestion from too many mobile phones in the area.
3. Use in an open area and be mindful of your surroundings. The drone is
   NOT equipped with obstacle avoidance.

12.4 Point of Interest

12.5 Headless Mode

While in Headless Mode, pushing the right joystick forward will make it fly in the direction that the head of the drone faces when it takes off. To make sure the pilot can tell the drone’s direction during the flight, we recommend that pilot stays facing the same direction that the drone head faces at takeoff. By doing so, it is ensured that when the pilot pushes the right joystick forward/backward, the drone will fly forward/backward toward the pilot. If the pilot pushes the right joystick left/right, the drone will move left/right relative to the pilot.

12.6 TapFly

It is recommended to enlarge the map if you want to use TapFly.

DO NOT fly the drone towards people, animals, or small/fine objects (e.g. tree branches and power lines) or transparent objects (e.g. glass or water).
·There may be some deviation between the expected and actual flight path.
