Battery Installation

Charging the Battery

Information & Procedure
The drone’s battery must be charged before it can be flown. To avoid risk of injury or damage, be sure the craft and remote control are both powered OFF and remove the battery from the drone when charging. 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 charger will display a red light.
When charging is complete, the light will turn OFF.

Flying

Remote Link & Calibration
Before flying, the drane and the remote must be linked together, the gyroscopes on the drone must be calibrated, and the drone must be unlocked.
Begin with the battery installed, the battery compartment closed, and the drone and remote powered OFF.

Step 1
Power ON the drone and place it ona flat surface. This is necessary for the drone’s gyroscopes to properly align. The lights on the drone will flash as it searches for a signal from the remote.

Be sure the drone and yourself are facing the same forward direction, this will help with orientation while flying.

Step 2
Power ON the remote. The light on the remote will blink as it searches for the signal from the drone. The lights on the drone and the remote will turn steady when the remote and the drone have linked.

Step 3
Push the Unlock button to unlock the drone.
The motors will turn on and the rotors will start to spin. The drone is now ready to fly. Press the Takeoff button to take off.

Flight Controls

When You’re Finished Flying
Press the Landing button during flight to slowly land the drone.
After landing, keep the Left Control Stick pulled backwards, pushing the throttle down, and wait for the rotors to stop spinning. Power OFF the remote BEFORE powering OFF the drone. This will ensure that no signals are accidentally sent by the remote, reducing the chance of injury. After this is done, it is safe to pick up and power OFF the drone.

Flying

Setting Trim & Countering Drift
Even after the drone is calibrated, it may show a tendency to drift while airborne. Adjusting the trim will help counter this effect and allow better control of the drone.
To avoid potential damage, adjust the trim while attempting a stable hover. Try to avoid making any exaggerated movements with the flight controls and adjust one trim setting at a time to avoid confusion.
Note: Adjusting the trim will help with drift but it will not entirely eliminate it. Air currents and other factors may still cause slight drift while airborne. Adjusting the trim is meant to correct distinct and obvious drift that makes the craft difficult to control.

Remote Trim Reset
If you are still having difficulty flying, it may help to reset the trim adjustments on the remote. Do not attempt to do this while flying, safely land the craft first.
Press the Reset button on the remote. The remote will chime once to indicate that the trim has been reset to default.

Tips for Safe Operation

• Itis 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 get used 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.

Speed Setting
Press the Speed button on the remote to change the drone’s speed setting.

• Low: Provides smooth and predictable control of the drone. The remote will chime once to indicate the low speed setting.
• Medium: The drone will move and respond faster to all control inputs. The remote will chime twice to indicate the medium speed setting.
• High: Highest setting for maximum performance. The remote will chime three times to indicate the high speed setting.

Headless Mode
Before using Headless Mode be sure you and the drone are facing the same “forward” direction, otherwise the drone will not fly correctly. To activate Headless Mode, press the Headless button on the remote control. The LED lights will slowly flash while Headless Mode is ON. Press the button again to deactivate Headless Mode.
While Headless Mode is active the drone will fly in whatever direction the Right Control Stick is moved, regardless of where the front of the craft is pointing. For example, if the front of the drone was pointed straight ahead but is now pointed right 90°, when you push forward on the stick the drone will fly forwards as if it was still pointed straight ahead. This can be useful if you become disoriented while flying and cannot visually determine which direction the craft is facing.

Flips
Before attempting a flip, be sure that there is enough clear space around the drone, ideally 9-10 ft. in all directions. It is not recommended to attempt to flip around or through any obstacles, as this may result in unintended damage.
Press the Flip button to activate Flip Mode, then move the Right Control Stick in any direction and the drone will perform a flip in the same direction. Press the Flip button again to deactivate without performing a flip.

Gyroscope Recalibration
If the drone is having difficulty flying, its gyroscopes may need to be recalibrated. Do not attempt to do this while flying. Land the drone first, then place it on a flat surface.
Turn the remote off then turn the drone off. Power both back on and pair them together following the procedure on page 10. Press the Unlock button to recalibrate the gyroscope.

Sky Rider Cruise App

The Sky Rider Cruise app will display the image from the drone’’s camera on your smartphone’s screen, allowing you to capture images and video of your flights. Connect your smartphone to the drone’s Wi-Fi signal and start flying!

Screen Controls

Gravity Sensor Mode uses the G-Sensor in your phone to control the drone. Tilt the phone forward, back, left, and right to control the pitch and roll of the drone. Throttle and yaw are still manually controlled from the Left Control Stick.
Camera & Video
Use the Photo and Video buttons to document your flight. Images and video are saved to your phone and can be viewed later by pressing the Gallery button.

Flight Controls

Using the Remote & App Together
It can be easier to capture photos and video by using the remote to fly the drone and using the app in a viewing only method. Use the app and the remote together by attaching the smartphone holder (included) to the remote and placing your phone in the holder.
Follow the steps below to connect to the remote and the app in the proper sequence.

• First, connect the remote to the drone like normal. Connecting the remote first overrides any control signals from the app.
• Next, use your phone to connect to the drone’s Wi-Fi. Open the app and go to the Flight Screen. Leave the Flight Controls off for the best view from the drone’s camera.
• Use the controls on the remote to fly the drone while the Wi-Fi camera streams to your phone.
• When you’re finished flying, power down the remote and drone like normal.

Parts & Repair

REMINDER: Pilots are responsible for any damage caused by improper use.
Parts Replacement
Standard parts such as extra batteries and remotes are available online for purchase when in stock. However, any non-standard parts such as cameras, screws, bodies, etc. can be ordered by placing an inquiry with our parts department at: partsinfo@dpiinc.com.
Rotor Replacement
The drone comes with replacement rotors if the originals are broken or badly 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 rotor is the reverse of the removal process. Be sure to tighten the rotor retaining screw firmly, but do not over tighten.
It is extremely important to use the correct rotor (A or B) for replacement. Using the incorrect rotor will make the drone impossible to control. The marking can be found on the rotor near the shaft.
