5.2. Propeller Installation
Attach the spare fan blades (propellers) to the drone arms. Ensure they are securely fastened. Refer to the markings on the propellers and drone arms for correct orientation (e.g., A-type with A-type, B-type with B-type).
5.3. Obstacle Avoidance Head Installation
Mount the laser obstacle avoidance head onto the designated slot on top of the drone. Ensure it is firmly attached and facing forward.
5.4. Unfolding the Drone
Gently unfold the drone arms until they click into place. Ensure all four arms are fully extended before flight.

5.5. Inserting the Memory Card
Locate the memory card slot on the drone and insert the provided 8G memory card. This is essential for recording high-resolution photos and videos.
6. Operating Instructions
6.1. Powering On/Off
- Drone: Press and hold the power button on the drone until the indicator lights turn on.
- Remote Control: Press and hold the power button on the remote control until the screen illuminates.
6.2. Connecting to the Drone
The remote control and drone should automatically connect upon powering on. If not, refer to the APP Instruction Manual for pairing procedures. The remote control features a built-in screen for live viewing of flight parameters and camera feed.

6.3. Basic Flight Controls
Use the joysticks on the remote control to maneuver the drone. The left joystick typically controls altitude and yaw (rotation), while the right joystick controls forward/backward and left/right movement.
6.4. GPS Positioning and Return Home
The drone utilizes GPS satellite positioning for stable flight and intelligent return functions. When encountering low battery, signal loss, or excessive distance, the drone can automatically return to its take-off point. You can also initiate a one-key return via the remote control.
Image: GPS satellite positioning provides 'escort' for flight, enabling safe return functions.
6.5. Laser Obstacle Avoidance
The 360° laser obstacle avoidance system helps the drone perceive its environment, reducing the risk of collisions. This system can identify obstacles from front, back, left, and right, both day and night.
