This drone is suitable for experienced drone users aged 14 years or above. This product contains small parts; please keep out of reach of small children.

Please pay special attention to the following safety procedures:

1. Keep away from humid environment
   The drone is made of precise electronic components. Humidity or water vapor may damage electron-ic components causing accidents.

2. Keep away from rotating parts
   Rotating parts can cause serious injury and damage. Do not touch the spinning propellers. Keep face and body away from rotating motors.

   The drone is made of metal, fiber, plastic, electronic components, etc. Keep away from heat and direct sunshine to avoid distortion and damage.

4. Stay aware while operating this drone
   Avoid areas with sudden changes in elevation, uneven ground or dangerous obstacles.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE FOR DRONE CARE

• Heat is a known factor in battery fires; if a battery is pushed beyond 60°C/140°F during use or charging, problems could occur due to metallic lithium generation that can damage the cell
• Store upright and do not rest objects against the drone
• Do not use if drone is punctured or damaged
• Do not expose the drone to water
• Do not leave the drone in direct sunlight
• Please use caution when in the presence of children or animals

This drone contains a rechargeable internal lithium polymer (Li-Po) battery. Please do not attempt to remove, disassemble, replace or repair the battery after expiration of the battery. Please contact customer support if you observe swelling in the engine assembly.

GUIDELINES FOR LI-PO BATTERY-POWERED DEVICES

• Never overcharge a Li-Po battery
• Do not charge Li-Po batteries near flammable materials or liquids
• Keep Li-Po batteries away from children and animals
• Never use or charge a Li-Po battery that has ballooned or swelled
• Never use or charge a Li-Po battery that has been punctured or damaged
• Heat is a known factor in battery fires; if a battery is pushed beyond 60°C/140°F during discharging or charging, problems could occur due to metallic lithium generation, which damages the cell

WARNING:
DO NOT LEAVE BATTERY CHARGING UNSUPERVISED

DRONE CHARGING SAFETY GUIDELINES

• Do not leave the drone unsupervised when charging
• Make sure there is no short circuit of the power wire
• Please use the recommended charger only. Do not charge on a gaming console. Only use your computer’s USB port, power bank or phone wall charger to charge the battery
• To avoid trickle charging, always unplug the drone from the USB charger when storing or leaving unattended
• Check the charger’s wire, plug, and surface regularly. Do not use a broken charger
• When drone is fully charged, do not try to charge further until it has been partially or fully discharged
• Leave time between charging and using the drone
• Do NOT overcharge the drone. It may cause overheating and in turn this overheating could damage the battery or melt/burn internal surfaces when charging
• Never try charging the drone if you feel the battery has been damaged, you run the risk of fire
• Cells that are obviously swollen or have physical damage should never be used, and careful disposal is required, especially if the cells are swollen; check the engine assembly of the drone for swelling

• Move your hands up and down in front of the sensors as seen below
• The center light will flash red; when it turns solid green, the calibration is complete.

DRONE CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS

• Connect drone to USB port with USB charger cable and choose a charging method pictured below
• The drone center light will be red when charging, and solid green when fully charged
• Drone charging time is approximately 80 minutes

It’s recommended to select an adapter that outputs a 5V2A current for faster charging.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

charger port. See the diagram on Page 7. Hold the button in to turn me on and off.”
Why doesn’t Scoot XL charge?| “Make sure my charging cable is connected to a USB port. I have a port on my base. My drone light should be red when charging and green when I’m fully charged.”
Why does Scoot XL crash?| “I don’t mean to! If you make sure you’re in a spacious room, I can easily change direction when I sense an obstacle. If the space is too small, I might try to change directions too quickly.”
What if Scoot XL goes too fast?| “Sometimes, I like to zoom! Make sure we’re in a room with plenty of airspace for my flight path. Or, change my speed as described.”
How durable is Scoot XL?| “I’m pretty tough, but please be gentle! A little toss is all it takes to launch me. Pluck me gently out of the air ‘hamburger- style’ to stop me. Always make sure you’re in a safe, clear flight area before relaunching me.”
Where can Scoot XL fly?| “I like to explore, but I can get pretty adventurous! I’m at my best indoors, with plenty of space.”
Can Scoot Xl2s performance be improved?| “If you need to adjust my flight control, check out the calibration section.”
