HEADLESS MODE (EASY MODE)

Headless mode makes this drone easier for beginners to fly, because there is no specified “front end” or “rear end.” In Headless Mode, when you bank left, the drone banks left. When you bank right, the drone banks right, regardless of what direction the quad is facing.
To turn on Headless Mode

1. Switch to Headless Mode (button is on upper left side of transmitter).
2. You will hear a short “beep” and the indicator light will begin flashing. Now, the drone is in Headless Mode.
3. To turn off Headless Mode, press the Headless Mode button again. You will hear a short “beep” and the indicator light will stop flashing and remain continuously on.
4. Correcting forward direction: If the drone crashes while in Headless Mode, the direction of the aircraft’s indicator light will be the “forward” direction of the aircraft.
5. One key return: while in Headless Mode, press “one key return” and the aircraft will return to the operator. Press it again to exit this feature and resume normal flight.

SPEED MODE: Press to select Low, Medium, and High.
AUTO HOVER MODE: When you reach your desired altitude, release the throttle lever to maintain the altitude in auto hover mode.
ONE KEY LAUNCH: Press to begin with an automatic liftoff.
ONE KEY RETURN: Press to begin a slow descent and landing.

NOTE: As with all remote control toys, it may take some practice to become proficient in the use of this drone. Please be patient and observe all local laws concerning drone flights.
