• Step 3: Drone calibration
  After pairing the drone with the remote control, place the drone on a flat surface and hold the “left joystick” and “right joystick” towards the buttom center until the LED lights flashes, as shown in Image 3. After the calibration is completed, the LED lights will return to normal. (When the drone is offset in any direction and  trimming cannot be adjusted, this calibration can beused for repairing.)

Optical flow hovering system

The PR028 features a fixed-pointing Auto-Hovering feature which allows the drone to hover accurately and independently at any given position. Once in Auto-Hovering, you can use the remote’s left stick to ajust the altitude.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

TRIMMING INSTRUCTIONS

Trimming is manual adjustment of the drone’s flight angles. It should only be used when the drone is drifting instead of hovering in a secure space with no wind. Please follow these instructions in order to trim your drone: Repeat the steps above until the drone hovers in the same spot.

FLYING EXERCISES

HEADLESS MODE

Please put the drone in a forward-facing position. After syncing, but before take-off, long press the Headless Mode button on the remote control and to enter Headless Mode and LED lights on the drone will keep flashing, from this point your Forward/Backward will be the Drone’s Forward/Backward  regardless of which direction the Drone’s nose points. Press it again to exitHeadless Mode.

AUTO-REVERSE FEATURE

In headless mode, press the AUTO-REVERSE button” ” and the drone will automatically return backwards. At this point use the right joystick to direct the drone back to you. Use the left Joystick to adjust the flight altitude.

PARTS LIST

LITHIUM BATTERIES WARNINGS AND PROPER USAGE INFORMATION

• DO NOT LEAVE LITHIUM BATTERIES CHARGING UNATTENDAND. You should always remain close to the charging battery to monitor the charging process and react to potential problems should they occur.
• Only use the provided charger in order to charge the included battery. Failure to do so may cause fire, which may result in personal injury and/or property damage.
• Do not charge Lithium batteries inside the model/car/boat etc.
• Do not puncture the Lithium battery.
• Only charge in isolated charging area away from flammable materials and on non-conductive and non-flammable surface. Lithium batteries fires cannot be extinguished with water. If a fire occur, wither cover it with sand or better still salt.
• On no account use water to extinguish a fire as water acts as petrol for Lithium batteries.
• If at any time you see a part of the battery ‘puff up’ disconnect from the charger immediately and either cover it with sand, or place in a non-conductive container and place it outside away from all flammable objects for at least 30 minutes.
• Manually check the temperature of your Lithium battery pack constantly during charging. Unlike other types of cells, Lithium cells should never get warm and should stay at the ambient temperature when being charged. If any of the individuals cell within a pack becomes warm/hot compared to the other cells, disconnect it immediately and either cover it in sand or place it in a non-conductive container and place it outside away from all flammable objects for at least 30 minutes.
• Store Lithium batteries in a temperature between 5-27°c (40°-80°F) for best results. The lower the temperature the better.
• Always disconnect the battery from your device/car/boat etc. when not in use.
• Always check the batteries for physical or electrical damage before charging or discharging.
• Do not short wires of your Lithium batteries, this is very dangerous and can cause a fire or even explosion. If you accidentally short wires your Lithium battery. Either cover it in sand or place it in a non-conductive container and place it outside away from all flammable objects for at least 30 minutes.
• Do not ‘Top up’ your Lithium batteries. Even if you charged them a year ago. Lithium loose less than 1 % of their capacity per month just use them and recharge as normal.
• Do not charge cells that have been stored in cold conditions below 10°c/50°f, let them warm up for a minimum of 30 minutes.
• You risk an explosion if you attempt to charge batteries which has been used or stored under 0°c/32°f. Warm them first for at least 60 minutes above 10°c before charging.
•  Do not store your Lithium batteries for extended periods of time (more than 1 hour)in a hot place as this may cause them to catch fire or even explode.
• Do not ingest contents of Lithium batteries; if you do accidentally swallow any content of Lithium batteries seek medical attention immediately.
• Keep all batteries out of reach of children.

Special Instructions

Here’s tips on how to get better streaming quality and range:

1. Try to aim the lens directly to your face;
2. Fly in an area with lots of light;
3. Perform gestures at about 2m distance from the PR028’s lens.

The following cases will result in lower streaming quality and range

1. Bad lighting conditions;
2. Low or interfered WiFi signal

Auto-Hovering optimization

The PR028 features a fixed-poiting Auto-Hovering feature which allows the drone to hover accurately at any given position. The following conditions will interefere with the function and result with inaccurate hovering.
