3.5 App Installation and Wi-Fi Connection

Download the companion app by scanning the QR code in the quick start guide or searching for the app name (usually found in the quick start guide or product packaging) on Google Play Store or Apple App Store. Once installed, power on the drone. On your smartphone, go to Wi-Fi settings and connect to the drone's Wi-Fi network (e.g., "K99-XXXX"). Open the app to establish the connection.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Power-Up and Pairing (Initialization Process)

To initiate the drone and remote control pairing process:

1. Place the drone on a flat, level surface.
2. Press and hold the power button on the drone until the indicator lights begin to flash.
3. Turn on the remote controller. The remote will emit a beep, and its indicator light will flash.
4. Push the left joystick (throttle) all the way up, then pull it all the way down. The drone's lights will stop flashing and become solid, indicating successful pairing.
5. If pairing fails, turn off both the drone and remote, then repeat steps 1-4.
