Setup Guide

1. Charge the Drone Battery:

   Connect the drone's lithium battery (3.7V 380 mAh) to the provided USB charging cable. Plug the USB cable into a suitable USB power source (e.g., computer, USB wall adapter). The charging time is approximately 90 minutes. Ensure the battery is fully charged before the first flight.
2. Install Remote Controller Batteries:

   Open the battery compartment on the remote controller and insert 4 "AA" batteries (not included), ensuring correct polarity. Close the battery compartment securely.

3. Power On and Pairing:

   Place the drone on a flat, level surface. Turn on the drone's power switch. The indicator lights will flash. Turn on the remote controller. The remote controller will automatically pair with the drone. Once paired, the drone's lights will become solid.

4. Pre-Flight Check:

   Ensure all propellers are securely attached and free from damage. Verify that the protective guards are in place. Check for any obstructions around the drone.

Operating Instructions

Basic Flight Controls (MODE2)

• Left Stick (Throttle/Yaw):
  • Push up/down to control altitude (throttle).
  • Push left/right to rotate the drone (yaw).
• Right Stick (Pitch/Roll):
  • Push up/down to move forward/backward (pitch).
  • Push left/right to move left/right (roll).

Key Features and Functions

1. One-Key Takeoff/Landing:

   Press the one-key takeoff button on the remote controller, and the drone will automatically ascend to a stable hovering height. Press the one-key landing button, and the drone will slowly descend and land.

2. Intelligent Altitude Hold Mode:

   The drone is equipped with a barometer pressure hover function, allowing it to maintain a stable altitude automatically, making it easier to control, especially for beginners.
3. Automatic Obstacle Avoidance:

   The fuselage is equipped with 4 infrared sensors, providing a 320° sensing range. The drone can detect and avoid obstacles on all four sides. This function is most effective when the aircraft is in slow gear mode.

   

4. Headless Mode:

   In headless mode, the drone's orientation is relative to the pilot, regardless of the drone's actual front direction. This simplifies control, as you don't need to worry about which way the drone is facing.

5. 360° Flips and Rolls:

   The drone can perform tumbling patterns such as up & down, backward & forward, left & right, and other flips. These stunts can only be performed under high-speed mode.

   

6. Handheld Throwing:

   With the drone powered on and paired, you can gently toss it into the air, and it will automatically stabilize and hover, ready for flight.

7. LED Lights:

   Red and green indication lights are located in the front and back of the drone, providing clear directional cues during flight, especially in low-light conditions.

Safety Features

• Double Protection:
  • Low Battery Protection: When the indicator lights flash, it signifies low battery. The drone will automatically return home (if within range) or land safely.
  • Overcurrent Protection: If a propeller is jammed during flight, the overcurrent function will automatically stop the propeller's movement to prevent damage to the drone.

  

• Stuck Power-Off Protection:

  If a fan blade accidentally gets stuck, the drone will automatically cut off power to protect the motor from damage.

  

• 180° Flip Power Off:

  If the drone is flipped upside down 180° during flight, the aircraft motor will immediately lock and stop flying, enhancing safety, especially for children.

  

• Fully Covered Protective Net:

  The drone features a full-coverage protective net that prevents contact with the fan blades, protecting both the drone and users, particularly children.

  

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the drone. Do not use water or chemical cleaners.
• Propeller Inspection: Regularly check propellers for any cracks, bends, or damage. Replace damaged propellers immediately using the spare parts provided.
• Battery Care: Store the battery in a cool, dry place when not in use. Do not overcharge or over-discharge the battery.
• Storage: When storing the drone for extended periods, remove batteries from both the drone and the remote controller. Store in a dry, safe place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Troubleshooting

• Drone not responding:
  • Ensure both the drone and remote controller are powered on and properly paired.
  • Check if the drone's battery is charged and correctly installed.
  • Replace remote controller batteries if they are low.
• Drone unstable during flight:
  • Recalibrate the gyroscope (refer to the full operating instructions for specific steps).
  • Check for damaged propellers and replace if necessary.
  • Ensure the drone is placed on a flat surface before takeoff.
• Obstacle avoidance not working:
  • Ensure the drone is in slow gear mode for optimal obstacle avoidance performance.
  • Clean the infrared sensors on the drone to ensure they are not obstructed.
• Short flight time:
  • Ensure the battery is fully charged before each flight.
  • Battery performance may degrade over time; consider replacing the battery if flight times significantly decrease.

User Tips

• For first-time flyers, start in a spacious indoor area to get accustomed to the controls.
• Utilize the altitude hold feature to practice directional control without worrying about maintaining height.
• The obstacle avoidance feature works best in slow mode, providing a safer learning environment.
• Practice one-key takeoff and landing multiple times to master smooth starts and finishes.
