2. Attach the corresponding propellers to the correct motor shafts. Ensure they are firmly seated.
3. Snap the protective covers onto the drone's arms, around the propellers, for added safety.

4.5 Unfolding the Drone

Gently unfold the drone's arms until they lock into place. Ensure all four arms are fully extended before flight.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Pairing the Drone and Remote

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

5.2 One Key Take-off/Landing

• Take-off: After pairing, press the One Key Take-off/Landing button (refer to Figure 3.3). The drone will automatically ascend to a certain altitude and hover.
• Landing: During flight, press the One Key Take-off/Landing button again. The drone will automatically descend and land gently.

5.3 Basic Flight Controls

• Throttle (Left Joystick Up/Down): Controls altitude (ascend/descend).
• Yaw (Left Joystick Left/Right): Controls rotation (turn left/right).
• Forward/Backward (Right Joystick Up/Down): Controls forward/backward movement.
• Sideward Flight (Right Joystick Left/Right): Controls sideward movement (left/right).

5.4 Altitude Hold Mode

The drone is equipped with an air pressure sensor that allows it to maintain a stable altitude automatically. Once the drone reaches a desired height, release the throttle joystick, and the drone will hover at that position.

This image illustrates the GoolRC S68 RC Drone utilizing its air pressure hover feature, maintaining a stable position in the air. The accompanying text highlights its ability to hover both outdoors and indoors, reducing the risk of losing the drone.

5.5 Headless Mode

In Headless Mode, the drone's orientation is irrelevant. The drone will move forward, backward, left, or right relative to the pilot's position, regardless of which way the drone's front is facing. This simplifies control for beginners.

• Activate: Press the Headless Mode button on the remote controller (refer to Figure 3.3). The drone's lights will flash rapidly.
• Deactivate: Press the Headless Mode button again.

5.6 3D Flips

The drone can perform 360-degree flips for an exciting flight experience.

• Ensure the drone is at a sufficient height (at least 3 meters).

• Immediately push the right joystick in the desired flip direction (forward, backward, left, or right). The drone will perform a flip in that direction.

5.7 Speed Control

The drone has multiple speed modes to accommodate different skill levels.

• Press the Speed Gear button (refer to Figure 3.3) to cycle through low, medium, and high speeds.
• A beep from the remote will indicate the current speed setting (e.g., one beep for low, two for medium, three for high).

5.8 One Key Return

This function allows the drone to automatically return towards the take-off point.

• Press the One Key Return button (refer to Figure 3.3). The drone will fly backward towards its original take-off position.
• To exit One Key Return, push any joystick or press the button again.
