6. Operating Instructions
6.1. Power On/Off
- Drone: Insert the charged battery into the drone and connect it. Place the drone on a flat, level surface.
- Remote Controller: Press the power button to turn on the controller.
6.2. Pairing the Drone and Controller
- Turn on the drone and the remote controller.
- Push the left joystick (throttle) up to the maximum position, then pull it down to the minimum position. The controller will beep, and the drone's indicator lights will become solid, indicating successful pairing.
6.3. Calibration
After pairing, perform a gyroscope calibration for stable flight:
- Place the drone on a flat surface.
- Move both joysticks to the bottom-right corner simultaneously (or as indicated in the remote control diagram). The drone lights will flash rapidly and then become solid, indicating successful calibration.
6.4. Basic Flight Controls
Remote control layout and function descriptions.
- Throttle (Left Joystick Up/Down): Controls altitude (ascend/descend).
- Directional Bar (Right Joystick Up/Down/Left/Right): Controls forward/backward and left/right movement.
- Fine-tuning Buttons: Use these to trim the drone's flight if it drifts in any direction.
- Speed Switching: Adjust flight speed for different skill levels or conditions.
6.5. Take-off and Landing
- One-Click Take-off: Press the dedicated 'Start/Stop' button on the controller. The drone will automatically ascend and hover at a fixed height.
- One-Click Landing: Press the 'Start/Stop' button again. The drone will automatically descend and land.
6.6. Advanced Flight Features
