3. Unfolding the Drone Arms
Gently unfold the four propeller arms of the drone until they are fully extended and locked into position. Ensure all arms are securely locked before flight.
4. Remote Controller Setup
Install 3 x AAA batteries (not included) into the remote controller. Extend the phone holder on the controller and securely place your smartphone (if using for FPV or app control).
5. App Installation (Optional but Recommended)
Download and install the official Tomzon D25 app from your smartphone's app store. This app enables FPV viewing, advanced flight modes, and media capture features.
Operating Instructions
1. Power On and Pairing
- Place the drone on a flat, level surface.
- Press and hold the power button on the drone until the indicator lights turn on.
- Turn on the remote controller.

2. Take-off and Landing
- One-Key Take-off: Press the one-key take-off button on the controller (or in the app) to automatically launch the drone to a stable hovering height.
- Manual Take-off: Push both joysticks outwards and downwards simultaneously to start the propellers. Then, slowly push the left joystick up to ascend.
- One-Key Landing: Press the one-key landing button to automatically land the drone.
- Manual Landing: Slowly pull the left joystick down to descend. Once landed, push both joysticks outwards and downwards again to stop the propellers.
3. Flight Controls
