5. App Connection and Calibration
Download the official DEERC drone application to your smartphone. Connect your phone to the remote controller using the provided cable. Power on the drone and the remote controller. Follow the on-screen prompts in the app to establish a connection and perform any necessary calibrations (e.g., compass calibration) before your first flight. The app provides a live view from the drone's camera and access to various flight settings.
Operating Instructions
1. Basic Flight Controls
Familiarize yourself with the remote controller's joysticks and buttons. The left joystick typically controls altitude and yaw (rotation), while the right joystick controls forward/backward and left/right movement. The drone features altitude hold for stable hovering, making it easier for beginners to control.
2. Intelligent Flight Modes
The DEERC D65 offers several intelligent flight modes to enhance your flying and filming experience:
- Follow Me: The drone will automatically follow your movement, keeping you in the frame.
- Waypoint Flight: Plan a custom flight path on the app's map, and the drone will autonomously follow it.
- Orbit Mode: The drone will circle around a designated point or subject, capturing dynamic footage.
3. GPS Positioning and Return-to-Home (RTH)
The built-in GPS ensures precise positioning and stable flight, especially in open areas. The Smart Return-to-Home function allows the drone to automatically fly back to its takeoff point under various conditions:
- One-Key RTH: Initiated manually by pressing the RTH button on the remote.
- Signal Lost RTH: The drone returns automatically if the control signal is lost.
- Low Battery RTH: The drone returns automatically when the battery level is critically low.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your DEERC D65 drone.
- General Care: Keep the drone clean and free from dust and debris. Store it in its carrying case when not in use to protect it from damage.
- Propeller Replacement: Inspect propellers regularly for any signs of damage (cracks, bends). Replace damaged propellers immediately using the provided spare parts and screwdriver.
- Battery Care: Always use the original charging cables and adapters. Do not overcharge or completely drain the batteries. Store batteries in a cool, dry place.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your DEERC D65 drone, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:
- Drone Not Powering On: Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Check the power button for proper function.
- Remote Controller Not Connecting: Verify that both the drone and remote controller are powered on. Ensure your smartphone is correctly connected to the remote via cable and the app is open. Re-pair the remote and drone if necessary following the app's instructions.
- Unstable Flight/Drifting: Perform a compass calibration as instructed in the app. Ensure you are flying in an open area away from strong magnetic interference. Check for damaged propellers and replace if needed.
- GPS Signal Issues: Fly in open outdoor areas with a clear view of the sky. Avoid flying near tall buildings or dense foliage that can obstruct GPS signals.
- Return-to-Home (RTH) Failure: Ensure your RTH altitude settings in the app are appropriate for your flying environment to avoid obstacles. If the drone flies away, it may indicate a critical RTH system failure, which should be reported to customer support.
- Camera Feed Issues: Check the Wi-Fi connection between your phone and the drone. Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from obstructions.
