2. Propeller Installation
Attach the propellers to the drone arms. Each arm and propeller is marked with 'A' or 'B'. Ensure you match the 'A' propellers to 'A' arms and 'B' propellers to 'B' arms. Insert the propeller and rotate to lock it in place. The drone comes with a screwdriver for this purpose.

3. Battery Charging and Installation
Charge the drone's Li-Po battery using the provided USB charging cable. A full charge typically takes approximately 5 hours. Once charged, insert the battery into the drone's designated compartment. The controller also has built-in rechargeable batteries.

4. Controller Setup and Phone Connection
Extend the handles and antennas on the remote controller. Pull out the phone holder at the top and tilt it forward. Place your smartphone securely in the holder. Turn on the drone by long-pressing the power button until you hear beeps. Follow the instructions in the manual or on the app to connect your phone to the drone's Wi-Fi network.

5. GPS Calibration
Before your first flight, ensure the drone's GPS is calibrated. The app will guide you through the calibration process, which typically involves rotating the drone horizontally and then vertically. Wait for the drone to acquire sufficient GPS satellites for stable flight.
Operating Instructions
Basic Flight Controls
Familiarize yourself with the remote controller's joysticks. One joystick typically controls altitude (up/down) and rotation (left/right), while the other controls forward/backward movement and side-to-side strafing. Practice in an open area before attempting complex maneuvers.
Video: Demonstrates basic flight controls including takeoff, hovering, and directional movement of the drone.
Intelligent Flight Modes
- Follow Me: The drone will lock onto your position (via the controller/phone) and follow you at a set distance, keeping you in the frame.
- Orbit Mode: The drone will circle a designated point or object (e.g., yourself) at a specified radius, keeping the camera focused on the center.
- Gesture Control: Use specific hand gestures to trigger photo or video capture.
- Point of Interest/Tap to Fly (Waypoints): Plan a custom flight path by tapping multiple points on the app's map, and the drone will automatically follow the route.
- Headless Mode: Simplifies controls by making the drone's orientation irrelevant to joystick commands. Forward on the joystick always moves the drone away from the pilot, regardless of the drone's front direction.
- Return to Home (RTH): With GPS enabled, pressing the RTH button will command the drone to automatically return to its takeoff point and land.

Photo and Video Capture
The 4K UHD camera captures high-quality photos and videos. Use the dedicated buttons on the remote controller or the app interface to initiate recording or take still images. The 2-axis gimbal helps stabilize footage for smoother results.

Maintenance
- Propeller Care: Regularly inspect propellers for damage (cracks, bends). Replace any damaged propellers immediately using the provided spare parts and screwdriver.
- Battery Care: Store batteries in a cool, dry place. Do not overcharge or fully discharge batteries. If storing for extended periods, charge to about 50-60%.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the drone body and camera lens. Avoid using harsh chemicals or liquids.
- Storage: Always store the drone and its accessories in the provided carrying case to protect them from dust and physical damage.
Troubleshooting
- Drone not connecting to phone/app: Ensure the drone and controller are powered on and fully charged. Verify your phone is connected to the drone's Wi-Fi network. Re-attempt the pairing process as per the setup guide.
- GPS features (Follow Me, RTH) not working: Ensure the drone has acquired enough GPS satellites (indicated on the app) before attempting these modes. Fly in an open area away from tall buildings or interference.
- SD card not recognized: Ensure the 64GB SD card is properly inserted. If issues persist, try formatting the SD card using a computer (after backing up any data) and then re-inserting it into the drone.
- Drone drifting during flight: Ensure GPS mode is active and the drone has calibrated correctly. Avoid flying in strong winds (7+ mph).
- Poor video quality: Ensure the camera lens is clean. Verify the SD card is inserted and functioning correctly. Flying in good lighting conditions will improve video quality.
