FLIGHT OPERATION GUIDE

IMPORTANT:

1. Make sure you power on the drone first, then the remote in each flight
2. Do repeat the pairing and calibration procedure each time the drone or remote is restarted.
3. For all flight functions and modes. the operator and tail of the drone must be aligned.
4. We recommend flying in the open air and within the control range for beginners.
5. Use the remote and App simultaneously to fly the drc>ne for better flying expenence
6. The maximum flight distance (the maximum distance between the drone and the last recorded Home Point) is set to 30m by default and you can reset it in Settings of App.

Remote Operation Guide

Pair the Remote with the Drone

Step 1:
Turn on the drone by pressing and holding the On/Off button for 3s until the four indicators on the battery light up, then place it on a flat surface with the head forward. LEDs on the arms of the drone flash red slowly.

Step 2:
Short press the On/Off button on the remote to turn on it and there is one beep from the remote. Push the Left Control stick forward to the top, then pull it backward to the bottom. Pairing is completed when the front LEDs of the drone flash white slowly and the rear LEDs of the drone flash blue slowly.

Tips;

1. Short press the On/Off button on the remote, then press and hold ii for 2s until you hear a beep sound to turn it off.
2. The drone and remote will turn off automatically after 10 minutes of inactivlty.

Flight Calibration
After pairing, the LEDs on the arms of the drone will turn to flash red quickly, indicating that the drone needs to be calibrated.

Note:
If the drone often flies in the same place, its LEDs won’t turn to flash red quickly after pairing, however, it’s still necessary to do the calibration.

Compass Calibration
Push the Left Control Stick to the upper right at 45• and the Right Control Stick to the upper left at 45°. The front LEDs of the drone flash white and red quickly and the rear LEDs flash blue and red quickly.

Step 1:
Hold the drone horizontally, then make a 360 degrees rotation at least once until the rear LEDs of the drone turn solid blue and red, which indicates a successful horizontal calibration.

Step 2:
Hold the drone vertically with its head faclngup, then make a 360 degrees rotation at least once until the front LEDs of the drone turn solid white and red,which indicates a successful I vertical calibration.

Notes:

1. Make sure to keep away from ferromagnetic substances and other electronic equipment when calibrating
2. If the LEDs on the arms of the drone keep flashing red when calibrating, please move to another place to fly the drone.

Gyro Calibration
Place the drone on a flat surface after finishing compass calibration Push the Left Control Stick to the upper left at 45″ and the Right Control Stick to the upper right at 45° lo start calibrating the gyro. Gym calibration completes when the front LEDs (white) and the rear LEDs (blue) of the drone turn to flash slowly from flashing quickly

NOTE
lf the drone finds enough satellites, its LEDs will tum sold on after gyro calibration.

GPS Satellites Searching
Waitforthedronetosearch GPS satellites. You could go to Snaptain Nova app to check the GPS Signal (refer to page 24-26). When the drone finds enough satellites, the GPS signal icon on App will turn blue. and the front LEDs (white) and rear LEDs (blue) of the drone will tum solid on, indicating that the drone is ready to takeoff in GPSMode.

The drone is set in GPS Mode by default. In this mode, the drone can utilizes the GPS module to locate itself and make a precise hovering flight. GPS Mode works only when the GPS signal is strong. Please fly the drone outdoors.

Notes:

1. We strongly recommend GPS Mode for beginners.
2. If you still want the drone to take off when GPS Mode is unavailable, you can switch into Atti (Attitude) Mode {refer to Page 18).

Option 2:
Move the Left Control Stick to lower rightat45° and the RTghtControl Stick to lower left ol 45• at the same lime until the four rotor blades start rolling, then slowly push the Left Control Stick forward to takeoff.

Notes:

1. If you don·twant the drone to take off after unlocking it, push the Left Control Stick to lower right in 45″ and the Right Control Stick to lower left in 45• again ( < \ pl to make the four rotor blades stop rotating
2. The motors will stop working if there is no operation within 20s.

Flight Directions

Left Control Stick

Pull the Left Control Stick leftward and the drone will rotate to the left; pull it rightward and the drone will rotate to the right.

Medium speed; Solid Blue
High speed: Flashing Blue

Headless Mode

Short press the Ci) button to activate Headless Mode. The Headless Mode Indicator on the remote will be solid blue. In this mode, the drone will fly following the direction of the Right Control Stick regardless of the position of your drone’s head or the tail. Press the same button again to cancel this mode.

Point of Interest (POI)
POI function enables the drone to fly around a desired subject.

Step 1:
Flythe drone above the desired subject. The current point of the drone is POI.

Step 2:
Simultaneously press the and (!?I button on the remote to activate POI.

Step 3:
Move the Right Control Stick to set the POI Radius from 2m to 100m.

Step 4:
Simult, timeously press the and button again, then the drone starts orbiting around POI clockwise.

• Push the Left Control Stick forward or backward to adjust the flight altitude as needed.

Step 5:
Cancel POI.

Option l ;
Simultaneously press the @ a n d G!) button again.
Option 2:
Move the Right Control stick when the drone is orbiting around POI.
