Product Features
1. One Key Return：
When using the one key return function (Figure 1) or the drone auto-return
when it is out of control or in low-voltage, the front and rear lights turn
red, and the drone will return home immediately if it at the range of 20
meters, if the drone is beyond the range of 20 meters, it will ascend at about
25 meters altitude first, then return home, and the drone will back to the
record point at last. Long press the one key return button again, the drone
will exit return mode except it is auto return with low-voltage, but when the
drone flies to the second range it can be canceled return(Figure 2) When the
drone returns home, manual operation to avoid obstacle is allowed, and it will
continue to return if stopped manual operation. The return point will be a few
errors caused by the environment, it’s a normal phenomenon.
Note :
1.When the GPS signal is weak or not work, the green light of the drone will
turn orange, and it will fail to return home and get the GPS coordinates, and
it needs to be controlled to return home manually.
2.When the drone is low-voltage, stop other operation and control it to
return, otherwise, it will fall down or crash when over low-voltage.
2. Low-voltage protection:
When the drone encounters direct impact from a foreign object or is
obstructed, or the blades are not rotating, the drone will go into the over-
current protection mode.
3.Over-Current Protection:
When the drone encounters direct impact from a foreign object or is
obstructed, or the blades are not rotating, the drone will go into the over-
current protection mode.
4. Level Calibration Function:
Place the drone on a level surface and at the same time, push both left and
right joysticks to the lower right corners for 2 to 3 seconds; the indicator
lights on the drone will blink rapidly, and they will return to solid status
after about 2 to 3 seconds. The level calibration is successful.

Headless Function:
① Defining forward direction:
● Press on the power button of the remote control.
● Connect the
battery to the drone, press the power button of the drone, and adjust the
specified direction f the drone’s head under the headless mode as the new
forward direction.
● Push the left joystick (throttle) on the remote control up to the farthest position and then pull down to the farthest position. When the remote control issues a long “beep” sound, it means the frequency and defining forward direction functions are completed.
2. Toggling between headless function and normal function:
● After the drone is matched with the corresponding frequency, the drone would
be in the normal pattern by default. At this time the indicator light on the
drone would be in a state of on for a long time. After pressing in on the
right joystick of the remote control for 2 seconds, the remote control would
make a sound of “beep, beep, beep” to show that it has entered into a state
of headless mode. Press in the right joystick for 2 seconds then a long sound
of “beep” would be heard to show an exit status. (When under the state of
headless mode, four indicator lights on the drone flash slowly once every four
seconds).
● Under the headless mode, the operator does not need to differentiate the
head position of the drone and only needs to control the drone’s direction
front/back/left/right by using the right joystick direction on the remote
control.
③. Calibration for the
definition of the front:
When the drone encounters a direct impact with foreign objects in the headless
mode, if there is an occurrence of deviation of the defined direction, it is
only required to push both the left and right joysticks to the bottom left
corners simultaneously after placing the flying direction of the drone in the
correction position. When the led light indicator of the drone is in a long
“ON” mode after slowly flashing for 3 seconds, it indicates the calibration.
