Setup and Assembly
1. Remote Control Battery Installation
The remote control requires four 1.5V AA batteries (not included). Use a screwdriver to open the battery compartment cover, insert the batteries according to polarity, and securely close the cover.
2. Drone Battery Installation and Charging
The drone comes with intelligent batteries. To install, open the battery compartment at the bottom of the drone and connect the battery cable. To charge, use the provided USB charger cable. Connect the charging cable to the battery, then plug the USB end into a power source. Indicator lights on the charger will show charging status (lights off when fully charged).

Operating Instructions
1. Pairing the Remote Control with the Drone
Turn on the drone, and its indicator light will flash rapidly. Next, turn on the remote control. Push the left joystick up to its highest point, then push it down to the lowest point. The indicator light on both the drone and remote will become constant, indicating successful pairing and flight standby mode.

2. Basic Flight Operations
After successful pairing, you can initiate flight. For manual take-off, gently push the left joystick up. To land, gently pull the left joystick down. The drone also supports one-key take-off and landing. Press the dedicated one-key take-off/landing button on the remote control to automatically launch or land the helicopter.

3. App Control and FPV Real-time Transmission
Download the SYMA FLY APP to your smartphone. Connect your phone to the drone's Wi-Fi network (e.g., "FPV_WIFI_D8B8"). Open the app, select the X700W model, and click "START" to view real-time FPV images and control the drone via your phone. The app offers more functions than the remote control, including gravity sensor control.
