ASSEMBLING THE CAMERA

The Drone is shipped with the camera separately. To install follow the below steps:

• Step 1: Locate the camera in the accessories bag.
• Step 2: Turn the Drone over and locate the camera mount directly below the fuselage.
• Step 3: Take care to make sure the camera is facing the front of the Drone, align the camera with the slots on the camera mount and slide the camera back until the camera is firmly mounted.
• Step 4: Connect the camera power cable to the corresponding socket on the Drone.

CHARGING THE DRONE’S BATTERY

• Step 1: Locate the battery compartment under­neath the Drone and slide the cover back.
• Step 2: Lift the cover-up and carefully disconnect the battery power cable from the Drone. (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 Drone 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.
• If the Drone is not going to be used for extended periods of time, please disconnect the battery from the Drone to avoid damage to the battery.

Note Charging your Drone battery will take approximately 45 minutes. A full charge will provide an approximate 6-7 minutes of flight time.

BASIC TAKE OFF AND FLIGHT TIPS!

ADVANCED FEATURES

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

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

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

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

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

It is very important to pay close attention to the Drones position as it flys back towards you. If you do not take control the Drone 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 Drone 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.

USING THE SMARTPHONE MOUNT

Step 1: Locate the remote control antenna extension, and smartphone clip mount in the accessories bag.
Step 2: Insert the antenna extension into the top of the controller and push down until the connection is tight.
Step 3: Align the sleeve on the back of the smartphone clip mount with the antenna extension and slide the clip onto the antenna.

Tip: To view the camera feed from the Drone you need to install the app on your smartphone. Please follow the separate app instructions included in the box.

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 Drone on the ground. Please wait for approximately 5-7 seconds to allow the digital gyro to electronically stabilize.

TRIM ADJUSTMENTS

If your Drone 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 Drone approximately 2-3 feet (0.5-1 meter) in altitude.

1. Take a note of the orientation and front of your Drone when adjusting the trim.
2. Without using the flight sticks on the controller match up the direction the Drone moves with the diagrams below.
3. Tap the corresponding highlighted button repeatedly until your Drone is stationary.

Continual STRAFING to the left or right:

Continual MOVEMENT forward or backward :

Tip: You may need to adjust both strafing and forward back movement trim for accurate control.

RESETTING THE UNIT

1. Lay the Drone flat and still on a level surface.
2. Push both the left and the right joystick to the bottom left corner position until the LEDs lights blink and then permanently light up.
3. Push both the left and the right joystick to the bottom right corner position until the LEDs lights blink and then permanently light up.
4. The reset operation is completed.

REPLACING THE DRONE’S ROTORS

The Drone comes with 2 replacement rotors. If one of the factory-installed rotors become damaged you can replace it by following these steps:

Step 1: Look carefully at the top of the damaged rotor for a letter A or B. This indicates the replacement rotor that needs to be used.

Step 2: Find the replacement rotor with the matching letter in the accessory bag.

Step 3: Use the included screwdriver to remove the screw in the rotor’s hub, and carefully pull the damaged rotor up to remove it.

Step 4: Align the replacement rotor with the hub and push it down securely.

Step 5: Replace the screw in the rotor’s hub, and tighten securely.
