2. Horizontal Calibration

Short press the calibration key on the remote controller. The LED lights on the aircraft will flash. When the LED lights stop flashing and remain on, calibration is complete. The remote controller will emit a "beep".

⚠ Note: Calibration must be completed only when the aircraft is placed on a horizontal plane.

3. Geomagnetic Calibration

1. Long press the geomagnetic calibration key until the aircraft lights flash quickly.
2. Rotate the aircraft horizontally clockwise until the front white light is always on. The remote controller will emit a "beep".
3. Rotate the aircraft clockwise with its tail upwards until the front white light and rear arm light are always on. The remote controller will emit a "beep".

APP operation: In the "Set more" interface, follow the text prompts and steps to guide calibration. Once the APP confirms calibration is complete, it will automatically enter the flight interface.

Operating Instructions

1. Star Search Status (GPS Mode)

In GPS mode, the aircraft will automatically enter star search. When the body light is constantly on, it means star search is successful, and the remote controller will emit a "beep".

⚠ Note: You need to wait at least a few minutes for the first search. Take off only when the search signal reaches more than 10 satellites.

2. Start / Stop (GPS Mode)

Push both the left and right joysticks on the remote control outward to unlock the motors. If star search is unsuccessful, it cannot be unlocked. After unlocking, the aircraft can take off normally, and all indicators will be on. To stop, push joysticks inward or use the one-key unlock function in the APP.

APP operation: Click "One Key Unlock" icon in the APP control interface to achieve one-key unlock.

3. Flight and Landing

Push the left joystick upward to take off. To land, click the "one-key take-off" icon in the APP again, and the aircraft will slowly land.

4. Normal Mode (Optical Flow Assisted Positioning)

When flying above a suitable ground, optical flow will assist the aircraft in maintaining position. Expect a drift of about 1 meter depending on ground and altitude conditions.

5. Start / Stop (Common Mode for Indoor Operation)

Press and hold the button on the remote control until it beeps and the fuselage light is always on, entering normal mode. Then push the left and right joysticks outward to unlock, and push the left joystick up to take off.

Maintenance

Battery Care:

• Always use the factory-provided charging cable.
• Charge batteries under adult supervision and away from flammable materials.
• Do not short-circuit, disassemble, or expose batteries to extreme temperatures.
• After use, turn off the drone and unplug the battery. Allow 30 minutes for the battery to cool before recharging.
• Store batteries in a dry place.

Propeller Care:

• Keep a safe distance from the high-speed rotating propellers to avoid injury.
• Regularly check propellers for any signs of damage or deformation. Even minor damage can significantly affect flight stability and control.
• Ensure propellers are installed correctly (A and B blades in their designated positions).

Motor Care:

• The motors can become hot during operation. Avoid touching them immediately after flight to prevent burns.

General Aircraft Care:

• Do not disassemble or modify the aircraft, as this may cause malfunctions.
• Keep the drone away from other electrical equipment and magnetic objects to prevent interference.
• The obstacle avoidance radar component is not waterproof; avoid using it in water or humid environments.

User Tips

• First Flight Checklist: Before every flight, especially if you're new to drones, ensure you complete all pre-flight steps: power on, frequency matching, horizontal calibration, and geomagnetic calibration. A common issue is the drone not starting due to incomplete setup or insufficient GPS signal. Always wait for a strong GPS signal (more than 10 satellites) before attempting takeoff in GPS mode.
• Battery Management: Always allow the battery to cool down for at least 30 minutes after flight before recharging to prolong its lifespan.
• Propeller Check: Regularly inspect propellers for any signs of damage or deformation. Even minor damage can significantly affect flight stability and control.
• Environmental Awareness: Pay close attention to the flying environment. Avoid areas with strong winds, dense obstacles, or weak GPS signals to ensure a safe and stable flight experience.
