Operating Instructions

1. Pairing the Helicopter and Remote Control

1. Place the helicopter on a flat, level surface.
2. Turn on the helicopter's power switch. The helicopter's lights will flash.
3. Turn on the remote control.
4. Push the left joystick (throttle) all the way up, then pull it all the way down. The helicopter's lights will stop flashing and remain solid, indicating successful pairing.

2. Basic Flight Controls

• Left Joystick (Throttle): Push up to ascend, pull down to descend.
• Right Joystick (Directional): Push forward to fly forward, pull back to fly backward. Push left to fly left, push right to fly right.
• Trim Buttons: Use the trim buttons on the remote control to fine-tune the helicopter's stability if it drifts in any direction.

3. One-Key Take-Off and Landing

• One-Key Take-Off: After pairing, press the one-key take-off button (usually marked with an arrow pointing up). The helicopter will automatically ascend and hover at a stable altitude.
• One-Key Landing: During flight, press the one-key landing button (usually marked with an arrow pointing down). The helicopter will automatically descend and land gently.

4. Auto-Hover Function

The SYMA S5H features an auto-hover function, which allows the helicopter to maintain a stable altitude without constant throttle input. This makes it easier for beginners to control.

5. Speed Modes

The helicopter offers two speed modes:

• Slow Speed: Ideal for beginners and indoor flying, providing more stable and controlled movements.
• Fast Speed: For more experienced pilots and outdoor flying, offering increased responsiveness and speed.

Refer to your remote control diagram for the specific button to switch between speed modes.
