- Turn on the drone. The drone's LED lights will flash.
- Turn on the remote control. The remote's indicator light will flash.
- Push the left joystick (throttle) all the way up, then all the way down. The drone's LED lights and the remote's indicator light will stop flashing and remain solid, indicating successful pairing.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Calibration
After pairing, it is recommended to calibrate the drone for stable flight. Push both joysticks down and to the right simultaneously for 2-3 seconds until the drone's lights flash rapidly and then become solid. This indicates successful calibration.
