HOW TO USE

BEFORE USE

• This is not a toy, but rather a high-precision product with built-in steering mechanisms and electronics for stability and control. Handle and use the drone with care and follow all instructions and safety instructions, as otherwise there is a risk of personal injury and/or material damage.
• Before use, always check that the batteries are clean and free from damage and that they have sufficient charge.
• Check that all rotors are undamaged and fitted with the correct direction of rotation.
• Before use, always check that the drone is correctly assembled and undamaged. In particular, check that the rotors are free of wear, cracks, and other damage and that the batteries have sufficient charge. Do not use the drone until any problems have been rectified.

PAIRING

1. Start the remote control. The LED on the remote control flashes red. Start the drone and place it on the ground. When the code from the remote control has been received correctly and pairing has been carried out, two beeps will be heard.
2. Move the left lever on the remote control all the way up and hold it there for 2 seconds, then move it all the way down and hold it there for 2 seconds.
3. The lamp on the remote control flashes green slowly. Release the left lever. Once pairing has been carried out, the drone’s front and rear lamps flash simultaneously.
4. When the front and rear lamps have stopped flashing and light constantly, the drone has found a GPS signal and is ready to fly.
5. New geomagnetic calibration may need to be performed if the motor has been replaced or if the drone is not flying in a stable manner after crashing.
   FIG. 24

‘NOTE:
In the case of GPS flying outdoors, do not use the drone in the rain, fog, or snow or in wind speeds in excess of four meters/second.

CALIBRATION
Geomagnetic calibration

1. Press and hold the button for normal mode. The red lamps at the rear of the drone go out and the green lamps at the front flash quickly to indicate that calibration mode is active. Release the button for normal mode.
   FIG. 25

2. Lift up the drone, hold it horizontally and turn it slowly clockwise until the green lamps flash slowly to indicate that horizontal calibration has been completed.
   FIG. 26

3. Hold the drone vertically with the front end towards the ground and turn it slowly clockwise until the red lamps start flashing slowly to indicate that vertical calibration has been completed. The drone’s front and rear lamps slowly flash alternately.
   FIG. 27

4. Place the drone horizontally on the ground and wait until the front and rear lamps start flashing quickly to indicate that calibration is complete.

WARNING!
Geomagnetic calibration of the drone must be performed before using the drone for the first time as well as after replacing rotors/motors. When flying outdoors, GPS satellites are used for geomagnetic positioning.
Positioning and automatic return are more accurate after geomagnetic calibration.

Calibration of gyroscope
If the drone is not flying in a stable manner, or if it moves to the right or left after taking off, the gyroscope needs to be calibrated.

1. Place the drone on a level surface.
   Pull the left lever all the way down and simultaneously move the right lever rapidly to the left and right horizontally without stopping, until the lamps on the drone start flashing slowly to indicate that calibration mode has been activated.
   DO NOT move the drone.

2. Wait until the front and rear lamps start flashing quickly to indicate that calibration has been successfully completed.
   FIG. 28

Recalibrating the altitude lever to left or right

   FIG. 30

SEARCHING FOR GPS SATELLITE
To fly in GPS mode, the drone must have a sufficiently strong GPS signal. Outdoors, it normally takes one to two minutes to search for GPS satellites. When the front lamps on the drone go green, a GPS signal has been detected from at least six satellites and the drone can be flown outdoors. The longer the GPS signal search continues, the better  the GPS signal.
The drone flies in a more stable manner and automatic return and landing are more accurate when there is a strong GPS signal.
The stronger the GPS signal, the higher the drone can fly. If around 13 satellites have been detected, it can fly at an altitude of approximately five meters.

FLYING

Take-off method
Method 1
The normal flying mode is the standard model.
Press and hold the start button for two to three seconds. The drone takes off and automatically flies up to a height of one meter.
FIG. 31

GPS flying
Press the GPS mode button for GPS flying.
Once the drone has taken off, the stronger the GPS signal, the higher the drone can fly. If around 13 satellites have been detected, the quadrocopter it can fly at an altitude of approximately five meters.
FIG. 32
Method2
Pull the altitude lever as far down as possible, and move the left lever on the remote control approx. 15° to the left and move the right lever approx. 15° to the right. The drone’s rotors operate at standby mode speed. Move the altitude lever upwards to fly.
FIG. 33

Altitude and rotation
Control the altitude and rotation using the left lever.
FIG. 34

Forwards/backwards/left/right
When flying, control movement forwards, backward, to the left, and to the right using the right lever.

FIG. 35

2. Move the left lever on the remote control all the way up and hold it there for two seconds, then move it all the way down and hold it there for two seconds. The lamp on the remote control flashes green slowly.
3. Release the left lever. When the drone’s front and rear lamps are flashing simultaneously, the drone is ready to fly.
4. Press and hold the start button for two to three seconds. The drone takes off and flies at a height of one meter. When flying, the green lamps on the drone flash slowly and the red lamps come on.
5. Press and hold the stop button for two to three seconds. The drone lands automatically. Alternatively, move the altitude lever down to land manually.
   FIG. 38

NOTE:
As GPS signals are weak and/or unstable indoors, the drone cannot fly in GPS mode indoors. The automatic return, map flying and follow me functions can therefore not be used indoors.

Automatic return
If the drone flies out of sight in GPS mode, there are two ways of getting it to fly back to the starting point.

1. Press and hold the button for automatic return for two to three seconds. The drone returns automatically to the starting point.
2. Switch off the remote control with the power switch. The drone returns automatically to the starting point.
   FIG. 39

NOTE:

• If the drone goes beyond the remote control’s range, it returns automatically to the starting point.
• Flying outdoors should take place in open terrain where the GPS signal is strong. In areas with a large number of buildings, the GPS signal may be too weak to allow controlled flying.
• The drone and the remote control use the 2.4 GHz frequency, and communication may be affected by the conditions at the location where the drone is being used. The maximum flying distance in normal mode is 200 m. In GPS mode, the drone returns automatically if it flies outside of this range.

WARNING!
The automatic return function does not work when the drone’s batteries are discharged. Always fly the drone back in sight immediately when the remote control emits the low battery charge alarm.
