3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Power On and Pairing
- Place the drone on a flat, level surface.
- Turn on the drone by connecting its battery. The drone's LED lights will flash.
- Turn on the remote controller.
- Push the left joystick (throttle) fully up, then fully down. The drone's LED lights will stop flashing and remain solid, indicating successful pairing.
3.2 Basic Flight Controls (Left Hand Throttle Mode)
- Left Joystick (Throttle):
- Push up: Ascend (drone flies up)
- Push down: Descend (drone flies down)
- Push left/right: Rotate left/right (yaw)
- Right Joystick (Directional):
- Push up/down: Fly forward/backward
- Push left/right: Fly sideward left/right
3.3 Special Functions
- Headless Mode: Press the Headless Mode button on the remote. In this mode, the drone's orientation is relative to the pilot, making it easier for beginners to control without worrying about the drone's front or back.
- 360 Degree Flip: Fly the drone to a height of at least 2 meters. Press the 360 Flip button, then push the right joystick in the desired flip direction (forward, backward, left, or right). The drone will perform a 360-degree roll.
- One Key Return: Press the One Key Return button. The drone will automatically fly back towards the approximate takeoff position. This function is based on the initial pairing direction and may not be perfectly accurate.
- LED Lights: The drone features brilliant LED lights for visibility, especially during night flights. These lights also indicate drone status (e.g., flashing during pairing, solid when paired, specific patterns for low battery).
- Low Voltage Protection: When the drone battery is low, the LED lights will flash, and the drone will automatically descend slowly to prevent sudden power loss and potential damage.
- Horizontal Correction Function (Calibration): If the drone drifts during flight, place it on a flat surface, then simultaneously push both joysticks to the bottom-right corner for a few seconds until the lights flash, indicating calibration is complete.

3.4 Flight Environment
Operate the drone in open, clear areas, away from obstacles, people, and animals. The remote control distance is approximately 50-80 meters. Avoid flying in strong winds or adverse weather conditions. The 2.4GHz technology allows for multiple drones to be flown simultaneously without interference.

4. Maintenance
4.1 Cleaning
Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the drone and remote controller. Avoid using water or solvents, as these can damage electronic components.
4.2 Battery Care
- Always disconnect the drone battery after use.
- Store batteries in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat.
- If storing for extended periods, charge the battery to approximately 50% capacity.
- Do not puncture, disassemble, or expose batteries to extreme temperatures.
4.3 Propeller and Frame Inspection
Regularly inspect the propellers for any damage (bends, cracks, chips). Replace damaged propellers immediately to ensure stable flight. The drone is equipped with strong protective frames designed to offer cushioning against impacts and enhance durability.

5. Troubleshooting
- Drone does not power on:
- Ensure the drone battery is fully charged and correctly connected.
- Check for any visible damage to the battery or drone's power connection.
- Remote controller does not respond:
- Verify that the AAA batteries in the remote controller are new and installed with correct polarity.
- Ensure the remote controller is powered on.
- Drone cannot pair with remote controller:
- Ensure both drone and remote are powered on and within close proximity.
- Repeat the pairing procedure (throttle up then down).
- Ensure no other 2.4GHz devices are causing interference nearby.
- Drone drifts during flight:
- Perform horizontal correction (calibration) as described in Section 3.3.
- Check propellers for damage or debris.
- Short flight time:
- Ensure the drone battery is fully charged.
- Battery performance may degrade over time; consider replacing the battery if it's old.
