5. Power on the remote control, then connect the drone battery to power on the drone.
6. Pair the drone with the remote control (see Operating Instructions).

Operating Instructions

Pairing the Drone

1. Place the drone on a flat, level surface.
2. Turn on the remote control. The indicator light will flash.
3. Connect the drone battery. The drone's lights will flash.
4. Push the left joystick (throttle) all the way up, then all the way down. The remote control will beep, and the drone's lights will become solid, indicating successful pairing.

Take-off and Landing

• One Key Take-off: After pairing, press the One Key Start/Landing button. The drone will automatically take off and hover at a stable altitude.
• Manual Take-off: After pairing, push both joysticks down and outwards simultaneously to start the propellers. Then, slowly push the left joystick (throttle) up to take off.
• One Key Landing: During flight, press the One Key Start/Landing button. The drone will automatically descend and land.
• Manual Landing: Slowly pull the left joystick (throttle) down until the drone lands. Once landed, push both joysticks down and inwards to stop the propellers.

Basic Flight Controls

• Throttle (Left Joystick Up/Down): Increases or decreases altitude.
• Yaw (Left Joystick Left/Right): Rotates the drone left or right on its vertical axis.
• Pitch (Right Joystick Up/Down): Moves the drone forward or backward.
• Roll (Right Joystick Left/Right): Moves the drone sideways to the left or right.

Special Functions

• 3D Flips: While flying, short press the 360° Flips button, then quickly move the right joystick in the desired flip direction (forward, backward, left, or right).
• Headless Mode: Press the Headless Mode button. The drone will orient itself relative to the remote control, making it easier to fly without worrying about the drone's front direction. Press again to exit.
• Circle Fly: Long press the Speed Switch button to activate Circle Fly mode. The drone will fly in a circle.
• Toss to Launch: With the drone powered on and paired, gently toss it into the air. The propellers will automatically start, and the drone will hover.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your drone:

• Propeller Replacement: If a propeller is damaged, use the provided propeller spanner and screwdriver to carefully remove the old propeller and install a new one. Ensure the correct propeller type (A or B) is installed in the corresponding motor.
• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the drone body and propellers. Avoid using water or harsh chemicals.
• Storage: Store the drone and accessories in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Remove batteries from the remote control if storing for extended periods.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues, refer to the following common solutions:

• Drone not responding: Ensure the drone and remote control are powered on and properly paired. Check battery levels.
• Drone drifting: Perform a calibration. Place the drone on a flat surface, then push both joysticks down and to the bottom-right simultaneously until the lights flash, indicating calibration is complete.
• Weak flight/short flight time: Fully charge all batteries. Check for damaged propellers or debris obstructing the motors.
• Propellers not spinning: Check for hair or debris wrapped around the motor shafts. Carefully remove any obstructions.
• Multiple drones interfering: When operating multiple drones, power on and pair each drone with its remote control separately to prevent frequency interference.
