Step 2: Hold the drone horizontally and rotate it three times. When completed the drone status indicator will flash green slowly.
Good GPS signal
×3
Weak GPS signal
Step 3: Hold the drone vertically and rotate it three times. When completed, the drone status indicator will turn solid green if the GPS signal is strong, otherwise it will turn solid yellow, which means that the GPS signal is weak.
-20-

· 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.

æShort press the ( ) button, the drone will automatically take off and hover at 3 ft. ç When the drone is flying, short press the ( ) button, the drone will automatically land on the ground.

· Before you are familiar with all the functions of the drone, please fly it outdoors in an open space. · When the GPS Mode is on, the maximum flight altitude of the drone is 49 ft if the GPS signal is weak or unavailable.

-22-

11.0 RETURN TO HOME(RTH)
cThe Return to Home function brings the drone back to the recorded Home Point. cThe default Home Point is the first location where the drone receives a strong GPS signal (the GPS Signal Indicator on the transmitter turns solid green at this point).
11.1 Smart RTH
If the GPS signal is available (The GPS Signal Indicator is solid green) and the Home point is recorded previously. Press the ( ) button on the transmitter, then the drone will fly back to the Home Point automatically. Exit the RTH mode by pressing the ( ) button again.
11.2 Failsafe RTH
If the GPS signal is available (The GPS Signal Indicator is solid green) and the Home Point is recorded previously. Failsafe RTH will be triggered when the transmitter signal is lost for more than 6 seconds. The drone will fly back to the Home Point automatically. If the transmitter’s signal is recovered and you want to exit the Failsafe RTH, you can press the ( ) button again.
The default RTH altitude for the above two Return Home modes is 49ft. You can also preset the RTH altitude in the App. There are 2 possible scenarios:
a. When the drone’s current altitude is higher than or equal to the preset RTH altitude, the drone will maintain its current altitude, fly back above the Home Point, then descend to the ground.
b. When the drone’s current altitude is lower than the preset RTH altitude, the drone will first ascend to the preset RTH altitude, fly back above the Home Point, then descend to the ground.
-23-

11.3 The First Stage of Low Voltage RTH
The First Stage of Low Voltage RTH is automatically triggered when the battery level displays ( ). At this time, the drone status indicator will start to flash red slowly, the transmitter will start to keep beeping, and the GPS Signal/Return Indicator Light will start to blink slowly. The drone will return to 98 ft above the Home Point. There are 2 possible return procedures: After the activation of the first stage of Low Voltage RTH, a “safety zone” with a height of 394 ft and a radius of 984 ft will be generated with the Home Point as its center. Once the drone returns to the airspace above the Home Point (thus ending the RTH procedure), it can only fly within the safety zone.
a. When the flight altitude is higher than 98 ft and the flight distance is larger than or equal to 984ft, the drone will first fly back above the Home Point, then descend to 98 ft, and exit the first stage of Low Voltage RTH.
H>98 ft
H=98 ft

Home Point

D=984 ft
a. Flight Altitude > 98 ft Flight distance 984ft

b. When the flight altitude is lower than 98 ft and the flight distance is larger than or equal to 984ft, the drone will first ascend to 98 ft, then fly back above the Home Point, and exit the first stage of Low Voltage RTH.
-24-

Home Point

D=984 ft
b. Flight Altitude < 98 ft Flight distance 984ft

If the drone is within the safe zone, it will not perform a Return to Home procedure. At this time, the pilot is free to operate the drone.

11.4 The Second Stage of Low Voltage RTH
The Second Stage of Low Voltage RTH is automatically triggered when the battery level displays( ). At this time, the drone status indicator will start to flash red quickly, the transmitter will start to keep beeping, and the GPS Signal/Return Indicator Light will start to blink slowly. The drone will return automatically to the Home Point. There are three ways to return:
a. When the flight altitude is higher than or equal to 49 ft, the drone will keep its current altitude, return above the Home Point, then descend and land onto the ground.

H>49 ft

H=49 ft

Home Point a. Flight Altitude 49 ft

b.When the flight altitude is lower than 49 ft and the flight distance is larger than 49 ft, the drone will first ascend to 49 ft, fly back above the Home Point, then descend to the ground.
H=49 ft

Home Point

D=49 ft

b. Flight Altitude < 49 ft Flight Distance 49 ft

c. When the flight altitude is lower than 49 ft and the flight distance is smaller than 49 ft, the drone will descend directly to the ground.
H=49 ft

Home Point D=49 ft
c. Flight Altitude < 49 ft Flight Distance < 49 ft
· During the RTH procedure, the drone can NOT avoid obstacles. · When there is a pre-recorded Home Point, but the drone cannot receive any GPS signal, the RTH procedure cannot be completed. The drone will just maintain its current altitude and position. · When there is no pre-recorded Home Point and the drone receives no GPS signal, the RTH procedure can not be activated.

12.6 Time-lapse

• Please be sure to insert a TF card before using time-lapse function. The drone can shoot time-lapse videos in four modes: Free, Dronie, Straight, and Circle.
  Free Mode: By setting the playback speed, the drone will take a number of photos to generate a time-lapse video. You are free to operate the drone while it’s shooting the time-lapse video. Dronie Mode: Choose angle, set video duration, video playback speed and flight speed. The drone will fly backward and ascend, while taking a time-lapse video. Straight Mode: Choose flying direction, set video duration, video playback speed and flight speed. The drone will fly towards that direction, while taking a time-lapse video. Circle Mode: Set circle direction, radius, flying time and video playback speed. The drone will fly in circle, while taking a time-lapse video.

13.0 STABILIZATION FUNCTION 13.1 Altitude-Hold Function
The drone is designed with an altitude-hold function to maintain its altitude after releasing the left joystick. (The left joystick will automatically spring back to the middle)
13.2 Optical Flow Positioning
Optical Flow Module
The Optical Flow Positioning System consists of a camera module, which acquires the position information of the drone through visual images to ensure precise positioning of the drone.
-35-

The Optical Flow Positioning System is typically used in an indoor environment when the GPS signal is weak or unavailable. It works best when the drone altitude is less than 10 ft.
cThe 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 the 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). cFlying 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.
-36-

cKeep sensors clean at all times. cThe Optical Flow Positioning is only effective when the drone is within the altitude range of 10 ft. cMake 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. cThe Optical Flow Positioning may not function properly when the drone is flying over water, low light ground and surfaces without clear patterns or textures.
