Charging the Battery

Information and Procedure

The drone’s battery must be charged before it can be flown. To avoid risk of injury or damage, be sure the drone and remote control are both powered OFF.
Charging time is approximately 120 minutes. Charge fully before use for best performance.
Connect the USB charging cable (included) to the USB port of a powered ON computer or USB power adapter (not included), then connect the charging plug to the battery plug.
While charging, the LED flame will display a blue light.
When charging is complete, the light will turn OFF.

Be sure to correctly match the plug to the charging port or damage may occur.
REMINDER: Do not charge overnight.
Do not leave unattended while charging.

Flying

Remote Link & Calibration

Before flying, the craft and the remote must be linked together and the gyroscopes on the craft must be allowed to calibrate.

Step 1
Power ON the drone and place it on a flat surface. This is necessary for the drone’s gyroscopes to align properly. The lights on the craft will blink as it searches for a signal from the remote.
Be sure you and the drone are facing the same forward direction, this will help with orientation while flying.
Flying
Built-in a non-replaceable 3.7V rechargeable battery.

Step 2
Power ON the remote. The light on the remote will blink and you will hear a double beeping sound.

Step 3
Push the Left Control Stick (throttle) fully forward, wait for a chime to sound, then pull the stick fully rearward, and wait for a second chime. When this last chime has sounded, the craft is ready to fly.

Step 4
Pull down and inwards on both control sticks for 2-3 seconds. When the LED lights have stopped blinking and turn solid, the re-calibration is complete and the drone is ready to fly.

Trim Adjustment & Countering Drift

Even after a craft is calibrated, it may still drift while airborne. To counter this effect, you can adjust the trim for better control. However, adjusting the trim may not entirely eliminate drifting. Air currents and other factors can still affect the craft’s handling.

Making Trim Adjustments

Press the Trim button to enter Trimming Mode, indicated by a blinking indicator light on the remote. While in Trimming Mode, move the Right Control Stick ONCE in the opposite direction of the drift.
For example, if the drone is drifting forward, enter Trimming Mode and pull rearward on the stick to correct. If the craft is drifting right, pull left. The remote will chime once for each adjustment. It may take multiple adjustments to set the trim to your liking.
When you are finished, press the Trim button to exit Trimming Mode. You can also wait 3 seconds and Trimming Mode will stop automatically.
To avoid potential damage, adjust the trim while attempting a stable hover and adjust one trim setting at a time to avoid confusion.
Note: While in Trimming Mode, the Right Control Stick only makes trim adjustments and does not control the direction of the craft. You must exit Trimming Mode to resume normal flight controls. The Left Control Stick is not affected by Trimming Mode.

Gyroscope Recalibration

If the drone is having difficulty flying or is behaving erratically, it’s gyroscopes may need to be recalibrated. Do not attempt to do this while flying. Safely land the drone first and place it on a flat surface.
Note: The craft and the remote should already be linked together. Pull down and inwards on both control sticks for 2-3 seconds. When the LED lights have stopped blinking and turn solid, the recalibration is complete and the drone is ready to fly.

Tips for Safe Operation

It is recommended to only fly in large, open spaces that are free of obstacles like power lines, trees, ceiling fans, etc
When flying indoors, avoid walls and ceilings, as the drone may be drawn towards them if closer than 2-3 feet.
Stand behind the drone when first taking off, so that you and the drone are facing the same “forward” direction. This will help with orientation when the drone is airborne.
Novice pilots should move the controls slowly and deliberately to become accustom to the drone’s flying characteristics. Try using one control at a time.
Practice basic flight operations like take off, hovering, and landing.
If you get into trouble or if anything obstructs the rotors, cut power immediately and safely clear the obstruction. Check for possible damage before flying again.

Parts and Repair

REMINDER: Pilots are responsible for any damage caused by improper use.

Rotors Replacement

The drone comes with replacement rotors if the originals are broken or damaged.
Use the included screwdriver to remove the rotor retaining screw that holds the rotor to the motor shaft. Once the retaining screw is out, pull upwards on the rotor to remove it from the motor shaft. Installation of the new rotors is the reverse of the removal process. Be sure to tighten the rotor retaining screw firmly, but do not over tighten.
It is essential to use the correct rotors (A or B) for replacement.
Using the incorrect rotors will make the craft impossible to control. The marking can be found on the rotor near the shaft.

Step 1

Replace the old rotors by removing first the rotor screw and pull rotor up.

**Step 2

** Then remove the two screws under the rotor to release the cap holding the rotors.

Step 3

Insert the new rotors making sure to use the correct marked A or B and tight the two screws back. Do not over tighten.

Step 4

Secure the rotor back by tightening the retaining screw firmly, but also, do not over tighten.
