Operating Instructions
Turning On and Launching
- Locate the ON/OFF switch on the Orbiter ball.
- Slide the switch to the "ON" position. The LED lights will illuminate.
- Hold the Orbiter upright for 3-5 seconds. The propellers will begin to spin.
- Release the Orbiter gently from your hand to initiate flight.
Controlling Flight
- Hand Control: Place your hand underneath the Orbiter to direct its flight path. The Orbiter is equipped with motion sensors that detect your hand and cause it to ascend.
- Obstacle Avoidance: The Orbiter features smart obstacle avoidance technology. Its propellers will automatically stop rotating upon falling to the ground or colliding with objects, helping to prevent damage.
- LED Lights: The Orbiter projects a kaleidoscope of LED lights, creating a vibrant display as it flies.

- Manual Stop: Gently grab the Orbiter from the bottom to stop its propellers.
Safety Information
- Keep fingers away from propeller blades at all times.
- For indoor use only.
- Do not launch at people or animals.
- Keep away from face, eyes, and hair. Tie hair back, wear a hood or a hat to avoid entanglement.
- Ages 8 and up. Always fly under adult supervision.
- Make sure people around you are aware you are playing with this toy. Keep your eyes on the toy at all times.
- Always turn OFF when not in use or when charging.
- Only use the included USB cable for charging.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the Orbiter gently with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use water or cleaning solutions.
- Storage: Store the Orbiter in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
- Propeller Care: The flexible propellers are designed to withstand minor impacts. If a propeller becomes bent, gently reshape it. If severely damaged, replacement may be necessary (contact support for assistance).
Troubleshooting
- Orbiter not flying or losing power quickly: Ensure the Orbiter is fully charged. Refer to the "Charging the Orbiter" section.
- Orbiter not responding to hand gestures: Ensure the motion sensors on the bottom of the Orbiter are clean and unobstructed.
- Propellers not spinning: Check if the ON/OFF switch is fully in the "ON" position. If the Orbiter has recently crashed, the safety mechanism might have temporarily stopped the propellers. Turn off and then on again.
- Remote control not working: Ensure the remote control's battery (1x CR1220) is functional. Replace if necessary.
