3. The indicator light on the battery will be green during charging and will turn off when fully charged.
4. Charging time is approximately 3-4 hours per battery.

Figure 3: The 7.4V 2200mAh Li-ion modular batteries provide up to 56 minutes of total flight time.

4.2. Installing Drone Batteries

• Ensure the drone is powered off.
• Insert a fully charged battery into the battery compartment on the drone until it clicks into place.

4.3. Unfolding the Drone

• Gently unfold the front arms first, then the rear arms until they are fully extended.
• Ensure all arms are locked into position before flight.

4.4. Remote Controller Setup

• Install 3 x AA batteries (not included) into the remote controller.
• Pull out the phone holder and securely mount your smartphone.

4.5. App Installation and Connection

• Scan the QR code in the manual (or search "KIDOMO F03 App" on your app store) to download the official control application.
• Turn on the drone and then the remote controller.
• On your smartphone, connect to the drone's Wi-Fi network (e.g., "KIDOMO-F03-XXXX").
• Open the app. The app should automatically connect to the drone, displaying the live camera feed.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1. Pairing and Calibration

1. Place the drone on a flat, level surface.
2. Power on the drone, then the remote controller.
3. Push the left joystick up then down to pair the remote with the drone. The drone lights will stop flashing and become solid.
4. Perform gyroscope calibration by pushing both joysticks to the bottom-right corner simultaneously until the drone lights flash rapidly and then become solid.
5. Perform compass calibration (for GPS mode):
   • Press the GPS calibration button on the remote (refer to remote diagram in app).
   • Hold the drone horizontally and rotate it 360 degrees until the lights change.
   • Hold the drone vertically with the camera facing down and rotate it 360 degrees until the lights become solid. Calibration is complete.

5.2. Take-off and Landing

• One-Key Take-off: Press the one-key take-off/landing button on the remote or in the app. The drone will automatically ascend to a safe height.
• Manual Take-off: Push both joysticks to the bottom-left/right corners (depending on model) to arm the motors. Then slowly push the left joystick up to ascend.
• One-Key Landing: Press the one-key take-off/landing button again. The drone will automatically descend and land.
• Emergency Stop: In an emergency, press and hold the one-key landing button for 3 seconds to immediately stop the motors. Use only in emergencies.

5.3. Flight Modes and Features

The KIDOMO F03 drone offers various intelligent flight modes:

• GPS Positioning Mode: Provides precise outdoor positioning, stable hovering, and accurate return-to-home functions. Essential for intelligent flight modes.
• Optical Flow Positioning Mode: Ideal for indoor flight or areas without GPS signal. Uses a downward-facing camera to maintain position.


Figure 4: The drone utilizes Optical Flow Positioning for stable indoor flight and GPS Positioning for precise outdoor flight.

• Automatic Return (RTH):
  • Smart RTH: Press the Return-to-Home button on the remote or in the app. The drone will return to its recorded take-off point.
  • Low Battery RTH: The drone will automatically return when the battery is critically low.
  • Signal Loss RTH: If the connection between the drone and remote is lost, the drone will automatically return to the take-off point.

Figure 5: GPS precise localization ensures the drone can automatically return home under various conditions.
• Follow Me Mode: In GPS mode, enable "Follow Me" in the app. The drone will automatically follow the remote controller (and thus the user's smartphone) at a set distance.
• Surround Mode (Point of Interest): In GPS mode, select a point of interest in the app. The drone will circle around that point at a specified radius and altitude.
• Waypoint Flight (Trajectory Flight): Draw a path on the map in the app. The drone will automatically fly along the designated route.

5.4. Camera Operation

The F03 drone features a dual-camera system:

• 4K Front Camera: Captures high-resolution photos and videos. The camera angle can be adjusted remotely from 0-90 degrees via the app or remote controller.
• 480P Bottom Camera: Used for Optical Flow Positioning and can also capture images/videos from a different perspective.

Figure 7: The drone features a 4K front camera with 90-degree adjustable angle and a 480P bottom camera.

• Taking Photos: Press the photo button on the remote or in the app.
• Recording Videos: Press the video button on the remote or in the app to start/stop recording.
• Media Storage: Photos and videos are saved directly to your smartphone via the app.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the drone body and camera lenses. Do not use liquid cleaners.
• Propeller Inspection: Regularly check propellers for cracks, bends, or damage. Replace damaged propellers immediately using the provided screwdriver.
• Motor Care: The brushless motors are designed for durability. Keep them free from dust and debris.
• Battery Storage: If storing the drone for an extended period, charge batteries to approximately 50-60% and store them in a cool, dry place. Remove batteries from the drone and remote controller.
