Flight preparation and turning the aircraft on/off

Pairing the remote control with the aircraft
***** When you switch on the remote control, the indicator will flash rapidly for approximately 20 secs to indicate that the remote control is waiting for a signal. The indicator will then flash slowly to indicate that the pairing mode has been disabled.

Calibrating the compass

| |
---|---|---
Press to calibrate the compass| Hold the aircraft horizontally and rotate 360 degrees
a few times. The indicator flashes from slowly to rapidly.| Hold the aircraft vertically and rotate 360 degrees for few times. Indicator flashes
from rapidly to constant.

• Do not calibrate the compass near strong electromagnetic fields or large pieces of metal, e.g. magnetite, car parks, or buildings with underground steel reinforcements.
• When holding the aircraft horizontally, the angle of inclination must not exceed 30 degrees.

Searching for satellites
The rear indicator will change from orange to green when the aircraft has locked onto a satellite and recorded the take-off location. The aircraft is now ready to fly.

It should take approximately one minute for the aircraft to lock on to a satellite. If the aircraft fails to find a satellite, recalibrate the compass.
Before take-off, place the aircraft in an open space away from obstacles and ensure that GPS mode is enabled.
*** When the rear green indicator flashes rapidly, this indicates that the GPS signal is weak. If this occurs, land the aircraft manually and restart the satellite search.
Turning the aircraft on**

Turning the aircraft off

Method one| Method two| Method three
---|---|---
Push the left joystick downwards for 2-3 seconds.| Push the left and right joysticks downwards in a V shape for 2 seconds.| Press the take-off/landing button to make the aircraft land automatically and switch off.

  The aircraft will switch off automatically if its angle of inclination exceeds 90 degrees.
  Maximum radio-frequency power transmitted < 10 dBm. Frequency range:2408MHz – 2478MHz

Using the remote control

Flight modes

Optical flow positioning
The front indicator is constant white, the rear indicator is constant yellow.

If the rear indicator starts to flash rapidly, this indicates that the optical signal is weak and the aircraft cannot determine its position.
Performance may be impaired in dark surroundings, areas with reflective surfaces (e.g. water), or at altitudes of more than 6 m.
***** Optical flow positioning only supports altitudes of less than 6 m.

GPS mode
The front indicator is constant white, the rear indicator is a constant green.

When the battery level is normal, the aircraft can fly to a distance of 500 m at a maximum altitude of 100 m.
When the battery level is low, the aircraft can fly to a distance of 20 m at a maximum altitude of 20 m.
If the rear indicator starts to flash rapidly, this indicates that the GPS signal is weak and the aircraft cannot determine its position.
GPS mode cannot be used indoors.
Headless mode
The indicator on the aircraft will flash once every 4 seconds.

1. Configuring the forward’s direction
   When you switch on the aircraft for the first time, the direction in which the front side of the aircraft is pointing will be set as the forward direction.

2. Enabling headless mode
   ① After pairing the remote control with the aircraft, hold down the right joystick for approximately 3 seconds. The remote control will beep 8 times to indicate that headless mode is enabled. To disable headless mode, hold down the right joystick again for approximately 3 seconds.
   ② In headless mode, you do not need to determine the aircraft’s orientation. You can move the joysticks on the remote control to make the aircraft move in the corresponding direction.

Place the aircraft on a level surface and move the left and right joysticks to the lower right corner for approximately 3 seconds. The indicator will flash rapidly and then stay constant to indicate that the calibration process is complete.
***** The aircraft cannot be calibrated if the angle of inclination is greater than 10 degrees.
Briefly press the right joystick to switch between high and low-speed modes.

1. Low-speed mode is enabled by default when the aircraft is switched on.
2. The remote control beeps twice when the high-speed mode is enabled and once when the low-speed mode is enabled.

1. When the drone is under standby mode, Press the take-off/landing button to make the aircraft take off automatically and hover at a height of 1.5 m.
2. When the aircraft is under active mode, it will automatically land on the ground if you press the one key landing

1. Take a photo: Press the photo button. The indicator on the aircraft will flash to indicate that a photo is taken.
2. Record video: Press the record button. The indicator on the aircraft will flash twice to indicate that the recording is in progress. Press the record button again to end the recording. The indicator on the aircraft will turn on to indicate that the recording is complete.

1. Take a photo: Position your hand approximately 1.5 m away from the front lens and hold the go, hand gesture for 3 seconds.
2. Record video: Position your hand approximately 1.5m away from the front lens and hold the d-hand gesture for 3 seconds.

Photo and video recording gestures cannot be used when the bottom camera is on.
The camera may accidentally take a photo or start a video recording if there are surrounding objects that resemble the or gestures.
If there is no memory card in the aircraft, photos, and video recordings will be saved to your phone.
If there is a memory card inserted in the aircraft, photos, and video recordings will be saved to the memory card and your phone.
***** The aircraft supports memory cards with a capacity of up to 64 GB.

In GPS mode (when the indicator is constant), hold the return to home, so the aircraft will return to its take-off position automatically. During the return flight, you can use the joystick to control the aircraft to ascend, descend and move left/right in order to avoid obstacles. To terminate the return flight, hold the return to the home button.
If the aircraft is flying at an altitude less than 20 m, it will automatically ascend to an altitude of 20 m before returning home.
If the aircraft is flying at an altitude of more than 20 m, it will return home at the same altitude.
If the remote control signal is lost for more than 20 seconds, the aircraft will automatically return to the take-off position. If the signal is restored during the return flight, you can hold the return to the home button to terminate the return flight.
The aircraft cannot automatically avoid obstacles during the return flight.
The automatic return to home function is not available when the GPS signal is weak (flashing indicator).
If the aircraft does not receive a GPS signal and lost contact with the remote control for more than 20 seconds, it will not be able to return to home but will land automatically.
When the aircraft battery is low, the aircraft will automatically return to the take- off position. During the return flight, you can use the joystick to control the aircraft to ascend, descend and move left/right in order to avoid obstacles.
If the aircraft is further than 20 m from the landing position, the return flight cannot be terminated.
***** If the aircraft is less than 20 m from the landing position, the return flight can be terminated.
Landing position: The initial unlock/take-off position.

Smart app features

Before using the smart app features, watch the video tutorial in the SYMA AIR app or on the SYMA website.
Ensure that you pre-configure the flight altitude and distance in the SYMA AIR app.
