Assembly Diagram

• Step 1: Put the suspension pads into the bottom body cover shown as below:
  

• Steps 2: Insert the plug of lithium polymer battery to cross ponding position of PCB’ A.
  

• Step 3: Place the PCB’ A into the bottom body cover (make sure the battery Beneath The PCB’ A), then tighten the screws.
  

• Step 4: Connect motors to the PCB’ A and bottom body cover. (2 pcs motor 1 connect 2 M1;2 pcs motor 2 connect 2 M2)
  

• Step 5: Put the top body cover on, then tighten the screws.
  

• Step 6: Install the propellers. (Make sure the propeller A and propeller B mount to corresponding position.)
  

Charge the Drone Battery

1. Make sure your phone is switched off. Plug the USB charging cable into your drone charging port (CHG) and a USB power source. The LED on the USB connector lights red during charging and turns off when charging is complete.
2. After charging, unplug the charging cable. Do not attempt to overcharge.

CAUTION:

• Use only the supplied lithium battery and cables, or ones with the same specification to charge.  Using any other batteries, cables or different specifications may damage the drone.
• After playing let the battery cool for at least 20 minutes before charging.

Remote Controller Function Diagram

Install Batteries in The Remote Control

1. Set the remote controls On/Off switch to off.
2. Open the battery compartment and insert two AAA batteries (not included), matching the polarities (+ and -) marked inside. Replace the cover.

Note:  If the remote control’s LED flashes during use, the batteries are low and should be replaced.

Battery Notes:

• Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury them. Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries (standard, alkaline or rechargeable) batteries of different capacities.
• Remove batteries during longer storage periods.

Fly Your Drone

1. There are two ways to take off. Place your drone on the ground and then either:
   • Press the button. The Drone will automatically take off, ascending about 5ft. and then hover.
   • Move the throttle forward to ascend. To avoid ground air turbulence, fly the drone at least 1ft. off the ground.
2. For speed options, push the steering control in to switch between high speed (double beep) and low speed (single beep).

Land Your Drone

• Automatically:  Press the take off button and the Drone will steadily descend and land.
• Manually: Slowly move the throttle down to descend. Avoid moving the throttle too quickly, as it can stop the propellers instantly and cause the drone to crash.
  When you finish flying the drone, turn off the remote control and drone.

Trim

Move the throttle forward and see how the drone reacts.

Stunts

1. Push the throttle control in so that the remote control beeps repeatedly to enter stunt mode.
2. Use the steering control to perform stunts.
3. The drone automatically exits stunt mode after performing a stunt.

Troubleshooting

Drone Does Not Respond

• Make sure the drone and remote control are switched on and paired.
• Drone battery maybe Fully charge the battery. See “Charge the Drone Battery.”
• Make sure the drone is within the control range (65 /20 m) and in line of sight.

Drone Difficult to Control

• Adjust the propellers by hand. If you cannot adjust them, replace with the spare propellers
• The throttle control is very Use small, fine movements to control.
• Practice at low speed mode. See “Fly.”

Drone Swerves / Runs Erratically Before Take Off

• The gyroscope inside your drone needs calibrating. Do the following:

  • With your drone and remote control switched on and paired, place the drone on level ground.

  • Move the throttle all the way down and the steering forward at the same time. Hold this position for a few seconds until the drone LEDs start to blink.
    

  • When the LEDs light steadily, release the controls. Calibration is complete and you are now ready for take off.

• See “Trim” if necessary to fine tune and improve control of your drone after calibration.

Fly Safely

• When flying outdoors, keep the drone away from power lines, tr weeds, and water.
• When lying indoors, keep the drone away from walls, air conditioning, air vents, fans, breakable objects, and other obstacles
• Do not fly the drone near or at other people or animal
• Keep eyes, hands, hair, and loose clothing away from moving propellers
• Adult supervision is recommended at all times.
• Do not fly your drone over private property where you are not welcomed.
• Do not fly your drone where emergency responders are working, or emergency aircraft are operating.
