Go Go Bird & Accessoriess
Flight Preparation
A. Go Go Bird Lithium Battery
Plug the lithium battery directly into the USB charger (Figure 1-1). Connect
the charger to an adaptor, computer, or any DC 5.0V USB charging port.
Two LED indicator lights will Illuminate. The green light indicates that the
power source is working and the red light indicates that the battery is
charging.
When charging is complete, the red light will turn off. Unplug the USB charger
from the power source and remove the lithium battery promptly. (Charging time
is around 20 mins, flight duration is around 10 mins.)
When Go Go Bird’s signal light turns red, the
lithium battery is running low. Replace the exhausted lithium battery as soon
as possible. (Figure 1-2)
How to remove the lithium battery from Go Go Bird: First, use the screwdriver to loosen the bolt of the battery compartment near the back of Go-Go Bird and lift up the cover (Figure 2-1). Then, carefully pull the lithium battery straight out, away from Go Go Bird’s head until it is loose (Figure 2-2). Pull the battery out from the side (Figure 2-3).
B. Remote Control Use the screwdriver to remove the battery compartment cover
(Figure 3) and install 2 AAA batteries (batteries sold separately). Replace
the cover and tighten the screw afterward.
Press the power button to turn the remote on. Hold the power button until the
signal light turns off to turn the remote off. The remote will turn off
automatically if there is no input for 12 minutes.
The signal light will start to flash when the batteries are running out of
power. If Go Go Bird is currently flying, land it before replacing the
batteries. The signal light will flash for 30 seconds before the remote turns
off automatically.
Exhausted batteries are to be removed from the remote control battery
compartment immediately.
C. Pairing Go-Go Bird with the Remote Control Your Go-Go Bird should already be paired with the remote control, but if you are experiencing connectivity issues, please refer to the steps below.
- Turn Go-Go Bird on and check to see that the green indicator light is on.
- Place the remote next to Go-Go Bird.
- Start with the remote control off, then holding the trigger button and the buttons at the same time, push the power button to turn the remote control on (Figure 4).
- Go Bird’s signal light should begin flashing indicating that the pairing was successful.
- If it fails to pair, repeat the steps above. If the remote turns off, Go Go Bird will automatically stop flapping its wings.
Flight Operation
A. 2 Methods to Begin Flight
Method 1: Gyroscopic Sensor Turn on the Go-Go Bird and the remote. Hold Go-Go Bird horizontally and quickly drop your arm about 30cm (Figure 5-1) until the wings start to flap. Repeat if Go Go Bird doesn’t start flapping. Gently toss Go-Go Bird forward to begin flight.
Turn Go-Go Bird off by turning it upside down (Figure 5-2). The wings will
immediately stop flapping.
Method 2: Remote Control
Turn on the Go-Go Bird and the remote. Hold Go-Go Bird horizontally (Figure
6-1) and press the trigger button on the remote (Figure 6-2) to make the wings
begin to flap. Gently toss Go-Go Bird forward to begin flight.
Press the trigger button again (Figure 6-2) to make the wings stop
flapping.
B. Signal Light
You can assign your Go-Go Bird signal light a unique color when flying with
other Go-Go Birds to help distinguish them from each other. Press the button
on the remote control to change the signal light color (Figure 7-2). Press it
again until you arrive at the color you want.
