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.

SNAPTAIN SP510 2.7K Foldable GPS Drone-22

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.

SNAPTAIN SP510 2.7K Foldable GPS Drone-23

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.

SNAPTAIN SP510 2.7K Foldable GPS Drone-24

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

SNAPTAIN SP510 2.7K Foldable GPS Drone-25

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.
