PRODUCT FUNCTION PROFILE

TAKE-OFF/LANDING/EMERGENCY STOP

Rotating propellers can be dangerous. DO NOT start the motors when there are people nearby.
Press , the propellers will spin and the drone will take off at an altitude of about 5 feet. (Always keep the head of drone facing forward).
Press , the drone will land automatically. Remember to always keep your hands on the transmitter as long as the motor is still pinning.
Hold 3 secs for EMERGENCY STOP.
Only stop motors mid-flight in emergency when doing so can reduce the risk of damage or injury.

FOLLOW-ME

When the Follow Me function activated, the drone will follow the GPS in your smart phone to follow you wherever you go.
(Make sure the smart phone connect with the aircraft successfully, turn on APP on your smart phone.)

1. Make sure the aircraft flies 3 meters away ,30 meters height position.
2. Click on the APP interface.
3. Waiting for APP Drone Status to display “Follow Me ready”— the aircraft will follow the phone’s coordinates.
4. Click the  on the APP interface again to exit the Follow Me mode.

Common lssues:

Follow Me mode would be hardly activated If phone’s GPS signal is too weak, This could be due to the signal loss from surrounding buildings, trees, or congestion from too many mobile phones in the area.

Use in open area and be mindful of your surroundings. Drone is NOT equipped with obstacle avoidance.

HAND GESTURE

Click on the APP, follow the TIP on the APP(PIC.1):
NOTE: Hand gesture should use the RIGHT HAND to start.

RETURN-TO-HOME (RTH)

The Return to Home (RTH) function bring the drones back to the Take Off Point.
This function only can be achieved under GPS mode.
There are 3 types of RTH: Smart RTH/Low-battery RTH/Fail connection RTH

Smart Return To Home

Press the Return to Home Button on your Transmitter or tap on the App of your smart phone, and the transmitter will start beeping. Your drone will return to the TAKE OFF Point. Press the button again to stop RTH procedure. Pull the throttle down to land the drone in a safe area.

Low-Battery return to home

Low-Battery RTH is triggered when the Flight Battery level is low, When LowBattery RTH is activated, the drone will fly back to where away from you about 100 feet, and you can still control your drone. Pull the throttle down to land the drone in a safe area. When the power of drone is completely empty, drone will return to the TAKE OFF point where you set.

Fail connection RETURN-TO-HOME (RTH)

Drone will enter Return to Home Mode if the signal to the transmitter is lost. Rebind the transmitter to the drone if dronr flies back into your view. Pull the throttle down to land the drone at safe area.

WARNING:
This drone is NOT equipped with obstacle-avoidance.

HEADLESS MODE

1. It defaults the Normal Mode when the quadcopter and remote control are matched sucessfully, click , enter into Headless mode; click  again, exit the Headless mode.
2. Normal mode: Before take-off, the white lights on the quadcopter where they are heading is the forward direction.
3. Headless mode: Before take-off, the white lights on the quadcopter where they are heading is the forward direction .(When the quadcopter rotates in flight,the flight direction will not be changed).

Under Headless Mode, the forward direction is the direction the pilot faces where the pilot pairs the drone with the transmitter. If the pilot pushes the direction joystick forward the drone will fly forward. If the pilot pushes the direction joystick backward, the drone will flight towards him/her. If the pilot moves the right stick left or right, then the drone will also move left or right relative to you. It is very important that the pilot does not change positions or the direction he or she is facing because this will cause confusion on the drone.

TRIM UNDER NO GPS MODE

If the drone flies under NO GPS Mode, you can trim the drone to obtain more balanced flight. Press for 3 seconds, and you will enter the trim mode. Push the direction stick to the opposite side that the drone drifts to rebalance the drone. For example, if the drone drifts to the left, push the direction stick to the right to make the drone balanced. Press again to exit the Trim Mode.
