5. Operating Instructions

5.1. Pre-Flight Checklist & Environment Requirements

• Choose to fly in an open outdoor environment without wind or snow, with low wind speed.
• During flight, keep the aircraft within line of sight and fly below a range of 150 meters.
• Environmental temperature: Remote controlled aircraft should be used within the temperature range of 0°C to 40°C to ensure normal operation.
• Stay away from crowds, trees, power lines, tall buildings, airports, and signal towers, as these may affect the drone's compass and signal.

5.2. Power On & Frequency Matching

1. Place the drone on a level surface, ensuring its head is facing forward.
2. Press and hold the power button on the drone for one second to turn it on. The drone lights will flash, indicating it's entering frequency matching state.
3. Open the remote control by pressing its power button. The remote control will beep, and the drone light will stay on, indicating successful frequency matching.

5.3. Gyroscope Calibration

Calibrate the gyroscope before takeoff for stable flight:

• Move both control levers on the remote control to the bottom-right corner simultaneously.
• Alternatively, short press the dedicated calibration button on the remote control (refer to Image 5.1 for button layout).
• The remote control will beep, and the drone light will flash rapidly then turn to constant brightness, indicating successful calibration.

5.4. Takeoff and Landing

Reminder: Be sure to calibrate the gyroscope before takeoff.

• One-Key Takeoff: Long press the one-key takeoff button on the remote control.
• Manual Takeoff: Unlock the joysticks by pulling them outward, then push the left joystick upwards.
• One-Key Landing: Long press the one-key descent button on the remote control.

5.5. Basic Flight Controls

• Rise: Push the left control lever upwards.
• Decline: Pull the left control lever downwards.
• Left Rotation: Push the left control lever to the left.
• Right Rotation: Push the left control lever to the right.
• Forward: Push the right control lever upwards.
• Backward: Pull the right control lever downwards.
• Fly Right Side: Push the right control lever to the right.
• Fly Left Side: Push the right control lever to the left.

5.6. Speed Adjustment

6. App Installation and Connection

6.1. Mobile Phone Holder Installation

1. Pull out the phone holder outward from the remote control.
2. Insert your smartphone into the phone clip.

6.2. App Download and Connection

1. Scan the QR code in the manual or search for "Mirason" in your app store to download and install the app.

7. Troubleshooting

7.1. Restore Factory Settings

1. If the drone and remote control cannot be synchronized properly when turned on, you need to reset the factory manual frequency matching for the drone and remote control (follow the instructions in the manual).
2. When the aircraft is turned on, the lights are in a slow flashing state. After the frequency is up, the aircraft lights remain on. When the calibration button is pressed briefly, the airplane's lights will flash rapidly, as shown in the operation video. Calibration is complete and the airplane lights will turn on.
3. After resetting the frequency, please add an instruction to continue using the drone according to the tutorial.

8. Important Information & Safety Guidelines

8.1. Compliance with Regulations

• Legitimacy: Users must comply with local laws and regulations and fly within permitted areas.
• Legal area flight: Users should first understand and confirm that their flight location is within the legal allowed range.

8.2. Exceeding High Risk

• If the drone flies at an unauthorized altitude, it may encounter problems such as control failure and signal loss, increasing the possibility of flight loss.
• Exemption from liability: If the flight altitude exceeds the specified distance and the drone is lost as a result, the seller will not be held responsible. Users are responsible for any losses caused by non-compliance with regulations.

8.3. Equipment Inspection and Maintenance

• Equipment power: Ensure that the battery is fully charged before takeoff to avoid loss of control or emergency landing due to insufficient power.
• Propeller condition: Check if the propeller is intact and securely installed to prevent detachment during flight.
• Motor and gimbal: Ensure that the motor and gimbal of the aircraft are clean and undamaged, guaranteeing flight performance and shooting quality.

8.4. Operator Responsibilities

• Proficiency in operation: Users should not attempt to fly before fully understanding the operating methods. Recommend completing relevant training or reading the operation manual.
• Direct control: The aircraft should be directly controlled by the operator to avoid relying on autonomous flight mode, to reduce the risk of control errors.

8.5. Consequences of Product Use

• Consequences of improper use: Such as equipment damage or personal injury caused by not following the instructions, the manufacturer is not responsible.
