2. Battery Installation and Charging

1. Insert the fully charged drone battery into the battery compartment on the rear of the drone until it clicks into place.
2. For charging, connect the USB charging cable to the drone battery and a USB power source (e.g., computer USB port, USB wall adapter). The charging indicator light will show charging status.
3. Install 3 x AAA batteries (not included) into the remote controller, observing correct polarity.

3. Propeller Check

Ensure all propellers are securely attached and free from damage. Replace any damaged propellers with the provided spares using the screwdriver.

4. App Download and Connection

Download the official SIMREX drone application from your smartphone's app store (iOS/Android compatible). Turn on the drone and connect your smartphone to the drone's Wi-Fi network (usually named "SIMREX-XXXX"). Open the app to view the live video feed and access advanced controls.

Operating Instructions

1. Pairing the Drone and Controller

1. Place the drone on a flat, level surface.
2. Turn on the drone. The indicator lights will flash.
3. Turn on the remote controller.
4. Push the left joystick (throttle) all the way up, then all the way down. The drone lights will become solid, indicating successful pairing.

2. Take-off and Landing

• One-Key Take-off: Press the one-key take-off button on the controller. The drone will automatically ascend to a stable height.
• Manual Take-off: Push both joysticks simultaneously to the bottom-outer corners to arm the motors. Then, slowly push the left joystick (throttle) upwards to take off.
• One-Key Landing: Press the one-key landing button. The drone will automatically descend and land.
• Manual Landing: Slowly pull the left joystick (throttle) downwards until the drone lands. Once landed, push both joysticks to the bottom-outer corners to stop the motors.

3. Altitude Hold Mode

The X900 drone features Altitude Hold, allowing it to maintain a consistent height without continuous throttle input. Once the desired altitude is reached, release the throttle stick, and the drone will hover at that height, making it easier to control and capture stable footage.

This image depicts the SIMREX X900 drone maintaining a stable altitude above a grassy field, demonstrating its Altitude Hold capability. A dotted line indicates the drone's fixed height.

4. Headless Mode

In Headless Mode, the drone's orientation is relative to the pilot, regardless of which way the drone's front is facing. This simplifies flight control, especially for beginners, as you don't need to worry about the drone's actual heading.

This image shows the SIMREX X900 drone flying over a body of water, with arrows indicating movement directions relative to the pilot, illustrating the concept of Headless Mode where the drone's orientation does not affect control inputs.

5. 3D Flips and Stunts

To perform a 360-degree flip, fly the drone to a sufficient height (at least 3 meters). Press the 3D flip button on the controller, then push the right joystick in the desired direction (forward, backward, left, or right). The drone will perform a flip in that direction.

6. Gravity Sensor Mode

Activate Gravity Sensor Mode via the smartphone app or controller. In this mode, you can control the drone's flight by tilting your smartphone or the controller, providing an intuitive and immersive flying experience.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the drone and controller. Avoid using water or solvents.
• Propeller Care: Regularly inspect propellers for cracks or damage. Replace any damaged propellers immediately to ensure safe flight.
• Battery Care: Do not overcharge or over-discharge the battery. Store batteries in a cool, dry place when not in use. Remove batteries from the drone and controller during long-term storage.
