Product Features

1. Obstacle Avoidance function(mode 3)
   Turn on the power of the mini drone and the power of the remote control. Push the left stick up and down, and the frequency is successfully linked. The default is to turn on the power, short press the left joystick twice (each time you press, a beep will sound, three beeps will enter the third gear), and the drone will enter the obstacle avoidance mode. The drone will avoid obstacles of 0.5-1.5 meters. Working principle: infrared reflection principle. The drone scans a range of 270 degrees through the front end, the infrared transmitters in the three directions on the left and right sides. Automatically move in the opposite direction when an object is detected
   Cautions:
   1. Infrared rays cannot identify transparent objects such as glass, and are most sensitive to white objects.
   The darker the color of the obstacle, the shorter the obstacle will be detected by the drone.
   2. The obstacle avoidance function is only an auxiliary function, limited by spectral reflection, the obstacle avoidance distance is 0.5-1.5 meters, please pay attention to safety when using it. Make sure that the flying environment is not too crowded.
   3. There is no obstacle avoidance function behind the drone, and the obstacle avoidance range is 270 degrees in front of the drone.
   4. Do not operate under strong light

2. Slow/Fast Speed Function (model/ mode2):
   Slow speed by default when first powered-on. Possible to switch the function mode of fast/slow speed by pressing in on the left joystick for a short time. It is switched into fast speed mode when two “beep” sounds come from the remote control, pressing in  on the left joystick for a short time under fast speed mode and then one “beep” sound would come from the remote control, then it is then switched back into slow speed mode.

3. Low-voltage Protection:
   When the two indicator lights at the rear of the drone start flashing, it means that the drone’s battery power is low. At this time, please control the drone return. The drone will automatically slow down when it is short of power.

4. Over-current Protection:
   If the drone encounters a direct impact from a foreign object, or is obstructed, or if the blades are not rotating, the drone will go into over- current protection mode.

5. Level Calibration Function:
   Place the drone on a level surface and at the same time, push both left and right joysticks to the lower right corners for 2 to3 seconds; the rear LED light indicator on the drone will blink rapidly, and it will return back to the normal status after about 2 to 3 seconds. The level calibration is successful.

6. 360° Stunt Flip Function:
   When having been very proficient in the basic movements, you can play some thrilling roll action. After flying the four axis air vehicle to a height of more than 3 meters, short press the right joystick, in the meantime, push the right joystick forward / backward / to the left /to the right to the highest position. The air vehicle can realize the function of roll forward| backward / to the left / to the right. Note: when the battery is fully charged, the rollover effect is the best.
   There is no way to roll under the status of low electricity.

7. Auto Hover Function:
   After using the left joystick (throttle) to control the ascending / descending flight of the drone, release the left joystick(accelerator) and the drone will hover at that height when the joystick is released.

8. Headless Function:

9. Defining forward direction:
   1.  Push on the power button of the remote control. 2. Press the power button on the top of the drone to 1-2s make sure the drone is turned “ON’, and adjust the specified direction of the drone’s head under the headless mode as the new forward direc. 3. Push the left joystick (throttle) on the remote control up to the farthest position and then pull down to the farthest position.
   When the remote control issues a long beep sound, it means the frequency and defining forward direction functions are completed.

10. Toggling between headless function and normal function:
    1. When the frequency checking of the air vehicle is finished, the air vehicle will default to the normal mode, and the indicator light on the air vehicle will be always on at this time. When you short press A key, the front indicator light of the air vehicle will flash slowly, and then short press the A key to exit the headless status. 2. Under the headless mode, the operator does not need to differentiate the head position of the drone, and only needs to control the drone’s direction front/back/left/right by using the right joystick direction on the remote control.
