2. Turn on the remote controller using its power switch.
3. Push the left throttle joystick fully up and then pull it fully down. The drone's lights will stop flashing and become solid, indicating successful pairing.
4. For more stable flight, it is recommended to calibrate the gyroscope after pairing. Push both joysticks 45 degrees towards the outside bottom corners simultaneously until the lights flash and then become solid again.

5.2 One Key Take Off / Landing

Figure 5.1: Visual guide demonstrating the One Key Take Off and One Key Landing functions. The drone is shown ascending from a launch pad for take-off and descending for landing, simplifying flight control.

• One Key Take Off: After pairing and calibration, press the "One Key Take Off" button. The drone will automatically ascend and hover at a certain altitude.
• One Key Landing: During flight, press the "One Key Landing" button. The drone will slowly descend and land gently on the ground.

5.3 Basic Flight Controls

• Ascend/Descend: Push the left joystick up to ascend, pull down to descend.
• Turn Left/Right: Push the left joystick left to turn left, push right to turn right.
• Forward/Backward: Push the right joystick up to fly forward, pull down to fly backward.
• Fly Left/Right (Sideways): Push the right joystick left to fly left, push right to fly right.

5.4 Special Features

• Altitude Hold Mode: The drone automatically maintains its current altitude, allowing for stable hovering and easier control, especially for photography and videography. This function is achieved by analyzing air pressure data.
• 360° Flip: To perform a 360-degree flip, press the "360° Roll" button and then push the right joystick in the desired flip direction (forward, backward, left, or right). Ensure sufficient altitude before attempting.
• Trajectory Flight: (Requires mobile app connection) Open the dedicated mobile app and select the trajectory flight mode. Draw a desired flight path on your phone screen, and the drone will automatically follow the recorded route.
• Headless Mode: When activated, the drone's orientation becomes irrelevant to the controller's direction. The drone will move relative to the pilot's perspective, making it easier for beginners to control.
• One Key Return: In headless mode, pressing the "One Key Return" button will cause the drone to fly back towards the take-off point.
