6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Basic Flight Controls

Use the throttle and direction levers on the remote control for basic maneuvers such as rising, falling, moving forward, backward, and flying sideways (left/right).

6.2 GPS Positioning and Intelligent Return

The drone utilizes GPS for accurate positioning and several intelligent return features:

• One-Key Return: Press the dedicated button on the remote control for the drone to automatically return to its takeoff point.
• Low Power Return: The drone will automatically initiate a return sequence when its battery level is critically low.
• No Signal Return: If the drone loses signal from the remote control, it will automatically return to its takeoff point.
• Over Distance Return: The drone will return if it flies beyond the set maximum remote control distance.
