Flight Preparation and Turning the Drone ON and Off

1. Flight preparation
①Find a wide place for flying.
②Install the battery in the drone, and place it on a level surface with the nose of the drone face forward(Figure 1), press the power button for 2 seconds, and then  release(Figure 2). Power on the remote control, push the throttle joystick of the remote control up to the top and then down to the bottom(Figure  3). When the remote control beeps twice and the indicator light of the drone turns to solid from blink signal connection completed.

Before the first flight, compass calibration is required. When the remote control has connected to the drone, push the left joystick to the right bottom corner and hold it, then press the One key return button located at the upper right corner of the remote control (Figure 1). When the indicator lights flash slowly, release the left joystick and hold the drone horizontally and rotate 360 degrees till the indicators of the drone turn to fast flashing(approx 4 circles) (Figure 2), and rotate it 360 degrees till the indicators turn to long bright (approx 4 circles) (Figure 3), the calibration finished.

Calibration
Note:

  1.  Never calibrate the compass in a strong magnetic field or near the bulk metal, such as magnetite, parking lot, and buildings with underground reinforced.
  2.  Never carry the ferromagnetic material, such as a mobile phone, with you when calibrating.
  3.  Take a compass calibration when the drone drifting or swinging around during the flight.

3.Search satellite (indoor flight can’t search satellite)
The rear lights of the drone begin as solid orange and turn to blink green about1 a minute later when finishing the satellite signal searching. After 5 seconds, the blink green lights change to solid green, which indicates there are enough GPS points recorded successfully, and the drone is able to fly off the ground with GPS fix-point function.
4. Turning on the drone
Method 1: Push the left joystick (throttle) to the highest point and then back to the center,of the drone the blades start rotating slowly.

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.

Features-1 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.

Function-3

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).
SYMA 720p Positioning Aerial Drone Adjustable Camera - ADJUSTABLE
nstallation steps for camera-Down adjustment camera angl--

● 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.
SYMA 720p Positioning Aerial Drone Adjustable Camera - ADJUSTABLE
nstallation steps for camera-50③. 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.
