Operation Guide

Pair the controller with the Drone

1. First, open the wings by unfolding the front arms and then opening the rear arms (as shown in Figures 1 and 2)
2. Turn on the drone first and place it on a flat surface with the head forward (the LEDs on the drone will flash).

Important Note

• Ensure that the drone is placed on a levelled surface; otherwise, it will fail to pair with the controller.
• Before turning on the controller, make sure the power indicator of the drone is turned on: otherwise, a successful pairing cannot be achieved.
• If the drone keeps blinking and fails to take off after powering on the controller, it indicates a low battery. Please charge it.
• In case of pairing failure, turn off both the drone and the controller, and then repeat the steps.

Joystick Operation

Calibrating the Drone
In the power-on state, press the calibration button to enter calibration mode. The remote control will beep ‘Di, and the indicator on the drone will start flashing. Wait until the indicator stops flashing; the calibration process is now complete.

Note:

• If the drone is not flying stably, please land it on a level surface and calibrate.
• For a better flying experience, perform a calibration of the drone before each flight.

One Button Take-Off/Landing & Emergency Landing

Note:
Press the One Key Take-off button, and the drone will ascend and hover at approximately 1.5 meters in height. Ensure the drone is placed on a flat surface with enough climbing space before taking off.

Function Details

Mode of High/Medium/Low Speed
By default, the drone is set at a low speed level. To increase the speed, press the ‘Speed Switch’ button on the controller; it will emit a ‘beep beep’ sound, indicating it is now at media um speed level. Press it again, and it will emit a ‘beep beep beep, indicating a high-speed level.

360° Flips
After flying the drone to a height of over 2 meters, press down the ring joystick to activate the 360° flips function. Then, move the right control stick forward, backward, leftward, or rightward to flip the drone accordingly.

Camera Angle Adjustment
During the flight, you can press the camera button to adjust the camera title up/down (The camera has a 90° tilt angle).

Headless Mode

Important Note:
Please familiarize yourself with the Headless Mode function before using it. Otherwise, there is a risk of losing the drone and incurring unnecessary loss.

1. After pairing or calibration, short-press the Headless Mode button on the remote controller. In Headless Mode, the indicator light of the drone will keep flashing, and the remote controller will beep once.
2. Short-press the Headless Mode button again; the indicator light on the drone will turn solid, indicating that the drone has exited Headless Mode.

While in Headless Mode, pushing the right joystick forward will make the drone fly in the direction its head faces during takeoff. To maintain awareness of the drone’s direction, we recommend the pilot stay facing the same direction as the drone’s head during takeoff. This ensures that when the pilot pushes the right joystick forward or backward, the drone moves in the corresponding direction relative to the pilot. Similarly, if the pilot pushes the right joystick left or right, the drone will move left or right relative to the pilot.

Trimmer

F/B Sideways Drift Trim:
If the drone tends to drift forward, press down the Trimmer button and do not release it while pushing the right joystick down to re-balance the drone. If the drone tends to drift backward, press down the Trimmer button and do not release it while pushing the right joystick up to re-balance the drone.

L/R Sideways Drift Trim:
If the drone tends to drift left, press down the Trimmer button and hold it while pushing the right joystick to the right to re-balance the drone. Conversely, if the drone tends to drift right, press down the Trimmer button and hold it while pushing the right joystick to the left to re-balance the drone.

Optical Flow Positioning
The drone is equipped with an Optical Flow Positioning function. When not operated, the Optical Flow Positioning function is automatically activated within 2 seconds and the drone will hover steadily within a fixed range.

Tips:

• When controlling the drone to the left or right, the Optical Flow Positioning function will be automatically disabled. When not operating, the Optical Flow Positioning function will automatically activate within 2 seconds.
• Keep the sensor clean at all times. The vision system is only effective when the drone is within the altitude range of 10 meters.
• Ensure that the light is bright enough, and the surfaces have clear textures so that the vision system can acquire movement information by recognizing the ground textures.
• Note that the vision system may not function properly when the drone is flying over water, low-light ground, and surfaces without clear patterns or textures.

Troubleshooting

Maintenance and Care

1. Check thoroughly, including the propellers, every time after a crash or violent impact.
2. Before the first flight, learn how to apply the “Emergency Land” function, which is on page 8 of this manual.
3. Do not charge the battery if it is hot. Let it cool down first.
4. If you do not plan to use your drone for an extended period, remove the batteries from the controller to avoid battery leakage, which may damage the controller.
5. Keep the drone and the controller in a location that is cool and dry, and avoid long exposure to direct sunlight.

FAQs

• Q: Why won’t my drone take off?
  A: To troubleshoot the issue, please follow these steps:

1. Ensure that the propellers are undamaged, and the batteries are fully charged.
2. Connect both the drone and the remote control to the same frequency. Turn on both devices and after a few seconds, you should hear a ‘drop’ sound, indicating successful frequency pairing. Once paired, the blinking on the drone and remote control should cease.
3. Push the left joystick of the remote control upward, or utilize the one-touch takeoff function on the remote. If you still encounter difficulties taking off, feel free to reach out to our online customer service. We are committed to providing you with detailed after-sales assistance.

• Q: How can I tell when the battery is low, and will the RC drone suddenly drop from a height?
  A: When the battery is nearly depleted, the drone signals low battery with rapid flashing lights, accompanied by the remote control emitting a “di, di, di” sound to warn you. Additionally, the app will provide a notification urging you to either return the RC drone to its takeoff point or fly at a lower altitude. Simultaneously, the drone will gradually descend when the battery is low.

• Q: My drone takes off and drifts, what should I do?
  A: If your drone tends to drift after takeoff, follow these steps to address the issue:

1. Place the drone on a flat, horizontal surface to ensure stability.
2. Before flying, perform a gyroscope calibration. This helps the drone sense its attitude, providing enhanced stability during flight.”

• Q: What are the three speeds of drone regulation?
  A: The drone regulation includes three speeds: 3.6m/s, 5.0m/s, and 6.6m/s. For an optimal flight experience, it is advised to use the first speed for indoor flying and the second or third speed for outdoor flights.

• Q: Can I control two drones simultaneously with one remote control?
  A: Unfortunately, this is not possible. Our remote control and drone operate on a one-to-one frequency pairing system. Once successfully paired, the remote control cannot be matched with another drone, and vice versa.

• Q: I can’t view the drone screen when I open the app what’s wrong?
  A: If the drone’s battery is too low, a successful connection may not be possible. If you encounter any further issues or have additional questions, please reach out to our online customer service for detailed assistance.
