Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Helicopter does not respond to remote control. | Not paired; low battery in remote or helicopter; out of range. | Re-pair the devices. Check/replace remote batteries. Charge helicopter. Ensure within 98.43 ft range. |
| Helicopter flies erratically or is unstable. | Damaged blades; gyroscope calibration needed; strong wind. | Inspect and replace damaged blades. Place on a flat surface and re-calibrate gyroscope (refer to remote control instructions for specific button combination, usually holding both joysticks down and inward). Fly indoors or in calm conditions. |
| Short flight time. | Battery not fully charged; aging battery. | Ensure full charge (approx. 60 mins). Battery life is 8-10 minutes per charge. If flight time significantly decreases, battery may need replacement. |
| Helicopter does not take off. | Low battery; blades obstructed; one-key takeoff not pressed. | Charge helicopter. Clear any obstructions from blades. Press the one-key takeoff button. |
