Operating Instructions

Basic Flight

• One-Key Take-off: After pairing, press the One-Key Take-off button. The drone will automatically ascend and hover at a certain altitude.
• Altitude Hold: The drone will maintain its current altitude when the left joystick is released, making it easier to control.
• Forward/Backward: Push the right joystick up/down.
• Left/Right Sideways Flight: Push the right joystick left/right.
• Rotate Left/Right (Yaw): Push the left joystick left/right.
• One-Key Landing: Press the One-Key Take-off/Landing button again to initiate an automatic landing.

Advanced Features

• Headless Mode:

  In Headless Mode, the drone's orientation is relative to the pilot, regardless of the drone's actual front. This simplifies control for beginners.

  1. To activate: Press the Headless Mode button on the controller. The drone's lights will flash rapidly.
  2. To deactivate: Press the Headless Mode button again. The lights will return to solid.
  

  Image: The drone is depicted flying, with directional arrows (N, S, E, W) indicating that its movement is relative to the controller's position, characteristic of Headless Mode.

• 3 Speed Modes:

  Press the Speed Mode button to cycle through low, medium, and high speeds. Start with low speed for learning.

• 3D Flip:

  While flying, press the 3D Flip button, then quickly push the right joystick in any direction (forward, backward, left, or right) to perform a flip.

• Throw to Go:

  After pairing, gently toss the drone into the air. Its sensors will detect the throw, and the propellers will start spinning, allowing it to hover.

• Auto-Rotating & Circle Fly:

  These functions can be activated via specific hand gestures or controller commands (refer to controller diagram for specific button combinations if not gesture-based).

  

  Image: Illustrations show the drone performing an "Auto Rotate" maneuver and a "Circle Fly" path. Hand gestures are also depicted for initiating these functions.

• Auto Obstacle Avoidance:

  The drone is equipped with 5 sensors that help it detect and avoid obstacles in its path, enhancing safety and ease of flight.
