CHANGING A PROPELLER

1. The replacement propeller must be replaced in the proper position on the machine. Propeller A needs to be installed in the position of A, and propeller B needs to be installed in the position of B, or you may not be able to properly control the drone. There are labels for A and B on the bottom of the propellers.
2.  When flight begins, propeller A rotates clockwise and propeller B rotates counterclockwise.

INSTALLING THE PROTECTIVE COVER

Snap the protective frame connectors into the shackles.

INSTALLING THE BATTERY

Obtain three 1.5V AA batteries (not included) and install them in the transmitter.

Insert the battery into the drone (7.4V 1200mAh Li-Po battery is included).

RECHARGING THE DRONE BATTERY

Remove the USB charging cable. Unplug the aircraft battery. Plug the battery’s USB connector into a USB port on a computer (or a USB power adapter). The LED indicator light on the cable will turn red while it is charging and turn off when it is fully charged. The charging time is about 120-150 minutes.
Note: Only use the provided charger cable.  It is dangerous to use the provided charge cable to charge other products.

GETTING READY TO FLY

Note:
① Make sure the propellers and propeller protective covers are correctly installed and tightened.
② Before flying, please pair the drone and transmitter (remote control), calibrate the drone, and obtain a GPS satellite signal.

1. HOW TO PAIR THE REMOTE CONTROL TO THE DRONE
   ① Turn on the drone power switch and place the drone on a level surface.
   ② Turn on the remote control power switch.
   ③ Push the left joystick completely up once and completely down once.
   You will hear two beeps, and the indicator light will change from flashing to constant, indicating that the pairing is successful.

2. HOW TO CALIBRATE
   ① Long press the geomagnetic calibration button for 3 seconds. The remote control will beep, the drone’s front and rear lights will stay on. You have now entered the geomagnetic calibration mode.
   ② Rotate the drone horizontally. The drone’s rear light stays on, and the horizontal calibration is successful.
   ③ After successful horizontal calibration, the drone is upright and rotated (360°). The front light (red light) on the body stays on, and the calibration is successful.

3. HOW TO OBTAIN A GPS SIGNAL
   After the gyro and geomagnetic calibrations are successful, the drone’s rear light changes from slow flashing to solid. At this time, place the drone on an open, horizontal surface. When the drone’s rear light turns green, the GPS satellite signal has been obtained, and you can take off normally. The process takes a few minutes.
   Note: The drone can only fly after a GPS signal has been found. If the flight is indoors where a signal can not be obtained, the GPS function can be turned off.
   To turn it off, tap the remote control GPS switch button. At this time, the remote control will make a sound, indicating that the GPS function is off and you are ready to fly indoors.

4. HOW TO TAKE OFF
   Method 1: Operate the two joysticks at the same time as shown in the figure pic1 for 2-3 seconds to unlock the drone. Then press the takeoff/land button pic 2.
   Method 2: Operate the two joysticks at the same time as shown in the figure pic 3 for 2-3 seconds to unlock the drone. Then slowly push the left joystick pic4.

5. HOW TO LAND
   Method 1: Slowly pull the left joystick pic 5 down until the drone is landing, keeping the left joystick down in the lowest position. The motor stops after 2 seconds and the drone lands successfully.
   Method 2: When the drone is flying, press the take off/land button again to land the drone slowly.

FLIGHT OPERATION GUIDE

HEADLESS MODE
The default front in the headless mode is the direction in which the drone is facing when pairing with the remote control. If you need to change the direction the drone is facing in the headless mode, please re-pair with the remote control. In headless mode, the drone always moves in the direction of the remote control joysticks, regardless of its orientation. For example, when you push the right joystick to the right, the drone will always move to the right (regardless of which direction the drone is facing). To enter this mode, turn on the drone, and press the Headless Mode button on the remote control. If you want to exit this mode, press the button again.
Note: Please be sure to align the drone facing forward and in a straight line. Let the gyroscope automatically detect the direction to ensure proper functioning in headless mode.
ONE-KEY RETURN
Press the One-key Return button, and the drone will fly back approximately along its original take-off path. Press the button again to exit this mode. ONE-KEY TAKE-OFF AND LANDING
While unlocked, press the One-key Takeoff/Land button on the remote. The drone automatically rises to a height of about 2 meters (6.5 feet). Keep flying smoothly at this approximate height. When you press the button again, the drone will automatically land itself slowly.
ORBIT MODE/SURROUND FLIGHT MODE
Press the Orbit Mode button. The drone will take the current flight position as the center. Push the right joystick up and the drone will move forward to the set radius distance.  Move the right control stick left and right to start execution.

PHOTO/VIDEO
Press the Photo/Video button on the remote control, which will beep twice to indicate the photo has been taken successfully. To record the video, hold down this button for 3  seconds. The remote control will beep, and the recording indicator will flash slowly to indicate that the recording is about to start. During the recording process, press and hold the button for 3 seconds to stop recording.
SPEED SWITCH
The drone has three speeds and is set to low speed by default. Press the Speed switch button once for medium speed. Press it again for high speed. A third press will return to low speed.
