Take one of the landing gear stands and locate the landing gear mounting pins into the holes on the fuselage and push in until the connec­tion is tight. Use the provided small screws and screwdriver to fasten the landing gear stands into place. Make sure that the landing gear stands are installed parallel to the fuse­lage.

Repeat step 3 for the remaining landing gear stands.

FLYING SAFE – SITUATIONAL AWARENESS

Always fly on a sunny, bright day with as little wind as possible. Flying in extreme heat or cold can adversely affect your flying control and response of the vehicle.
After connecting the battery, place the Quadcop­ter on the ground. Please wait for approximately 5-7 seconds to allow the digital gyro to electroni­cally stabilize.

CHARGING THE QUADCOPTER’S BATTERY

Step 1:
Locate the battery compartment underneath the Quadcopter and slide the cover back.

Step 2:
Lift the cover up and carefully disconnect the battery power cable from the Quadcopter.
(Do not pull the battery by the wires as the wires may break off of the battery housing.)

Step 3:
Connect the battery’s power cable to the end of the USB charging adapter. Then connect the USB adapter to a USB port like on a computer. Or a 5V 1A Class 2 USB charging adapter.

Step 4:
When charging is complete recon­nect the battery to the Quadcopter and close the battery cover.

CAUTION: The battery may be hot if being disconnected right after use. If hot, then wait a few minutes to let the battery cool down. When charging do not leave the battery unattended to keep from overcharging. Overcharging the battery will lead to battery damage.
NOTICE: When charging with the included USB cable the LED light will light up red, indicating it is charging. Once charging is complete, the LED light will turn off.
NOTICE: If the Quadcopter is not going to be used for extended periods of time, please disconnect the battery from the Quadcopter to avoid damage to the battery.
* Note: Charging your Quadcopter battery will take approximately 45 minutes. A full charge will prove an approximate 7-8 minutes of flight time.

BASIC TAKE OFF AND FLIGHT TIPS!

1. Turn on the Quadcopter and lay it flat on the ground. The Quadcopter lights will flash to indicate it is ready to pair.

2. Turn on the remote. To pair the Quadcopter push up quickly on the left stick and then pull down. The Quadcopter will beep to confirm successful pairing and the Quadcopter lights will stop flashing.
   

3. Push up quickly again on the left stick and release to start the motors.

4. Push up on the left stick to ascend.
   

5.  Send your Quadcopter in any direction using the right joystick and have fun.

6. When you are ready to land short press the start/stop button to initiate auto-land.

* Tip 1.* Engage SmartFL Y Tech if you often get turned around and confused about directional flying.
Tip 2.** Your Quadcopter will automatically hover at a stable altitude. You can still take it higher or lower by using the left joystick.

GOING TO FLIGHT SCHOOL – CONTROLS

ASCEND / DESCEND| Push the left joystick (throttle) up to ASCEND. Ease the throttle (left stick) downwards to DESCEND.|
---|---|---
LEFT / RIGHT ROTATING| To ROTATE LEFT or RIGHT: Push the left joystick to the left to turn left or right to turn right.|
FORWARD / BACKWARD MOTION & STRAFING

NOTE: Strafing is useful when you want to make the unit go side to side or go around obstacles where it might be difficult to turn or rotate the unit.

| To GO FORWARD & BACKWARD Push the right joystick up to make the Quadcopter fly forward. Push it down to make the Quadcopter fly backward.|
To STRAFE LEFT & RIGHT: Push the right joystick to the left to make the unit go sideways to the left without turning (this is called strafing). Push the right joystick to the right to make the unit go sideways to the right without turning.|

ADVANCED FEATURES

AUTO STOP

If you need to emergency stop the Quadcopter propellers for any reason press and hold the auto stop button.
Be careful as the Quadcopter will immediately fall to the ground and could become damaged.

SMARTFLY TECH

This Quadcopter features an advanced SmartFly Tech feature.
Generally when you are flying a Quadcopter, the front and back of the Quadcop­ter change position relative to the Quadcopter pilot. This can make it difficult to tell which direction the Quadcopter is flying in. SmartFly Tech helps you take control over the Quadcopter’s directions as forward will always be facing the way that you (the Quadcopter pilot) are facing.

Initiating SmartFly Tech:

1. Before taking off, place the Quadcopter on a flat surface and ensure the front of the Quadcopter is facing away from you.
2. Start the propellers spinning, then short press the SmartFly Tech button until the controller beeps. The Quadcopter will flash to indicate SmartFly Tech is enabled.
3. Takeoff and fly the Quadcopter.

To disengage engage SmartFly Tech, land the Quadcopter and press and short press the SmartFly Tech button until the controller beeps. The Quadcopter lights will stop flashing.

ONE KEY RETURN

This Quadcopter can automatically return to the pilots location – all the pilot needs to control is the Quadcopter’s height.
It is very important that the rear of the Quadcopter (identified by the red marker lights) is facing the pilot before initiating this feature. If the Quadcopter is not orientated correctly the Quadcopter will not return to the correct location.

1. During normal flight allow the Quadcopter to hover and make sure it is orien­tated with the rear facing the operator.
2. Long press the “one key return” button, the Quadcopter will fly back towards the operator. When the Quadcopter is close to you take over the flight controls to bring the Quadcopter to a safe landing.

It is very important to pay close attention to the Quadcopters position as it flies back towards you. If you do not take control the Quadcopter may fly past your position.

360° FLIP

Press the 360° FLIP button on the top right of the transmitter to have it perform amazing, acrobatic 360° flips! Fly the Quadcopter up to a minimum height of 10ft, press the 360° Flip button and immediately push the right joystick up, down, left or right to do a flip.

SPIN MODE

Press the “spin” button to have the Quadcopter spin endlessly in the air. First fly the Quadcopter up to a minimum height of 10ft, then press the spin button. The Quadcopter will spin on the spot until you move the right joystick to fly away.

RESETTING THE UNIT

If the Quadcopter takes off and immediately veers off course it is likely the Quadcopters gyros need to be reset. To do this follow these steps:

1. Lay the Quadcopter flat and still on a level surface.
2. Pair the Quadcopter and controller as normal.
3. Press and hold the “reset” button until the controller beep.
4. The reset operation is completed and you can fly the Quadcopter normally.

TRIM ADJUSTMENTS

If your Quadcopter moves by itself with no input from the controller, then you should adjust the trim.
For best results, move the throttle up and raise the Quadcopter approximately 2- 3 feet (0.5-1 meter) in altitude.

1. Take a note of the orientation and front of your Quadcopter when adjusting the trim.
2. Press the “trim” button on the controller until you hear a beep. You are now in trim setting mode.
3. Using the right joystick on the controller match up the direction the Quadcopter moves with the diagrams below.
4. Push the joystick in the highlighted direction to correct the move­ment. You are aiming for the Quadcopter to hover in a steady position.
5. When complete press the “trim” button again to exit trim mode.

Continual STRAFING to the Left or Right

Continual MOVEMENT Forward or Backward

* Tip 1:* You may need to adjust both strafing and forward back movement trim for accurate control.
Tip 2:** Trim adjustment should be done in an area free of crosswinds for accurate results.

TROUBLESHOOTING

• Check to make sure the power switch is in the ON position.
• Check to make sure the batteries are installed correctly.
• If the batteries are installed correctly, they may be exhausted.

Cannot Control the Quadcopter| If the Quadcopter is hard to control check the following:

• The vehicle may fly erratically if wind conditions are too strong. Fly the vehicle under calm conditions.
• Make sure the radio control transmitter has paired correctly with the vehicle. If not, power down the vehicle and the radio control and start over.
• Perform unit reset.

Ascending Failure| If the unit fails to go up in altitude or goes up too slowly, try the following:

• Make sure the throttle is being raised sufficiently.
• The battery of the Quadcopter might be too discharged for safe or satisfactory operation.

Blinking Unit LED| When the LED on the unit begins to blink, this indicates a low battery condition. Please charge the unit again.
